Welcome to the Letterman TH-cam Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show - as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. These highlights have been artisanly-produced, carefully-curated, and chosen completely at random by an old computer that used to pick numbers for the New York Lotto back in the 90’s.
Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding were an excellent comedy duo.
Thank you for posting this! My dad was a Bob and Ray fan, and he would tell me about their classic routines. He was also a David Letterman fan from the time he saw Dave's stand-up routine at The Comedy Store in the mid-1970s.
Been listening to these jokers for over 50 years. They still crack me up.
My father and I had to pull over our car because we were laughing so much listening to these great comedians🤣.
Their skit “ The Banister Sliding Contest of Buffalo, NY” complete with lederhosen almost did us in!! 😅
"Don't anyone touch him!"
I tried to find this skit and listened to “Wally Ballou Covers a Bannister Sliding Contest” on youtube. It doesn’t have comments enabled so I can’t ask there.. but can you describe to a millennial what is the humor here? I don’t get it!
I was a fan of Bob and Ray and later Bob's son Chris Elliott. I found it interesting just how different the father and son's comedy was but often a little of his dad's dry humor would make it into Chris's performances.
Bob is 59 in this episode, his son Chris is 22. Chris is now in his early 60's. Time sure flies.
And Chris started his career working for David Letterman. And now HIS daughters are comediennes (Abby was an SNL cast member). Quite a family lineage.
@@stevew9369Abby Elliott is Chris Elliott's daughter?? I had no idea! I also didn't realize who Chris's father was. I learned a lot from this video, LOL.
Thank you for mentioning that.
No finer masters of the broadcast medium than Bob and Ray.
Hey Letterman editors . . . Don't tell your boss, but I'd like to see the whole thing. No edits!
You can!!! Look “Up Write If You Get Work” on here, playlist with all of the full appearances Bob and Ray made on Letterman. Not to mention much more!
Chris Elliott from "Schitt's Creek". Great comedy legacy. I loved Bob and Ray.
Chris Elliott from Late Night with David Letterman, too!
@@joshcarrico1210 his daughter Abby followed in their footsteps as well, she was a cast member on SNL about ten years ago.
@@jacobjames8782 Which, of course, Chris was also a cast member of. And Bob and Ray appeared as special guests on SNL, as well!
He was prominent on 'Groundhog Day'.
Chris Elliott from "Cabin Boy" c'mon
It’s cool finding out who Chris Elliot’s father is.
Well Bob & Ray were always available for Dave’s NBC show. “Dad, it’s Chris. Can we book you and Ray for the 14th? What do you mean, you have to check?”
I grew up listening to Bob and Ray on the radio. They were on WOR in New York on Friday nights. 😅
Tippy the wonder dog, Galaxy of the Baboons, Garish Summit! Just thinking about them makes me laugh!
Bob & Ray are excellent. You hear a routine, you think, "That's good," and you chuckle. And two weeks later you start laughing out loud at it, and three years later you're still listening to a recording of it and waiting to laugh at what you KNOW is going to happen, and you still can't get enough of it. How the heck do they do that? How can they make something funny when you're hearing it for the 3,000th time? Comedy shouldn't work that way. Theirs does - and always has - for me!
They were comic geniuses. The best ever.
My dad didn't drink but he loved the commercials. Specially when Bob and Ray danced singing Put Your Little Foot put your little with mine
Bob and Ray are legends.
Such great pros!!
Kinda like Bob Newhart
David was great back then too when he first got started out.
46 47
Radio faded, but I still think it is the master's medium. Bob Hope was even funnier on the radio. Bob and Ray could do more with their voices than 90% of Hollywood and 100 million dollar budgets. Amazingly creative men.
"Suppose your name was Fordice." That is so funny. I knew someone named Fordice 50 years ago. No kidding, folks.
How would you remember a name like Dickinson?
I like these old timey clean/lame jokes.
My father introduced me to Bob & Ray when I was young. They’re just my style.
Funny, funnie, funnie stuff. Veeeeery funnie!
Dave is just so starstruck that he can barely function. He is a direct comedy descendant from them. I'll never forget the segment on the morning show where he rescreated a track event using a record player. So simple and brilliant!
Ah - Michael Scott took this course
My father loved these guys!!
pure gold
Can someone explain the last punchline at the end?
The premise/set up is that the man has great stories that he can never remember the ending to. When asked if he has a story that he can remember the ending to, he does, but he doesn't have the beginning. Their humor is often like that. There isn't always a punchline, per se. It's just an absurd situation that you let unfold for you.
Omg. I'm going home and hang by my thumbs.
Write if you get work.
just torturing Dave in every delightful way (That's alright for you sir)....a couple of old chunks of coal
hmmm .. never heard of 'em. Must have been on the east coast only
Good God, no. Perhaps you spent your life in a cave.
Nope. I remember hearing their NPR show in Milwaukee.
They did a few national programs in the’50s. Amazingly, they never used a script.
Nope. Grew up in Texas listening to their albums.
My parents had their record "Bob and Ray on a Platter" in California.
