    David Letterman. The good old days. I got into his show as a teenager at a time with no cable access. Watched pretty much every night I think. I think I miss that show. Probably was one of the highlights during that time of my life.

    Charles Grodin was probably my favorite repeat guest from the old show. Both shows were nightly viewing for me growing up, but there was nothing like the original Late Night show from the 80's.

    I remember when Dave returned to the show after having heart surgery and how he got choked up when referring to the doctor who "saved his life" as being one of the most memorable moments on the show. Surprised it didn't make the list.

    • @shawnuel
      @shawnuel 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It is notable that at the very beginning, Dave was, self-admittedly, a very poor interviewer and, by the time the new millennium appeared, he was probably the best interviewer of the late night talk show hosts. Love seeing people improve their skills over time.

    As much as I enjoy Chris Farley and that high energetic entrance, only one celebrity had the greatest exit from late show with David Letterman. That is the 1 and only Jim Carrey. During an episode right before New Year's Eve 1999, they had Jim carry on and they asked him how he was going to celebrate the new year. He it he led the audience it's in a countdown from 10 to 0. He then pretended it was the New Year and he ran around acting like a complete psycho like only he can. He eventually exited the Ed Sullivan Theater through the stage door, went outside, took his shirt off, and danced around on top of an NYC cab screaming "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" over and over again.

      Carrey also had the best entrence, too, where he repeatedly did not appear when his name was called, and then Dave went to look for him and found him trapped in an arcade-type claw machine.

      Yes, as there was no sit-down guest for the last show, and Murray also did #1 on the last Top Ten list. Foo Fighters were the last musical guests.
