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. And for those of you who like Miscellaneous, you may very well find some Miscellaneous here.
I waited on Mr Cronkite at a restaurant I worked at. He was 87 and as we talked, he held my hand. It’s a memory I’ll never forget.
Cronkite was from a generation of newscasting that was simple, honest, and professional. That's gone now.
Walter was right, and it wasn’t an easy time for him to say this.
When it comes to the really tough times, Dave knows how to make things better. Also, Walter Cronkite will always be the most trusted news anchor in America. Those two legends are incredible.
Where the heck is our generation’s trusted newsman?
Walter cronkite would have made a good president
Two national treasures speaking wise wisdom. I sincerely, thank Mr. Letterman and the Late Show staff and writers for being there. I never forget when Mr. Letterman carried on his first monologue after this dark day.
Walter was the last good journalist that this country has had
All these years later and Walter Cronkite still stands head and shoulders above for his wisdom and trust. Unfortunately, he wasn't listened to at the time and the deaths of both sides in Iraq and Afghanistan sadly came about. At least Walter didn't live to see what his profession and our nation has become today.
Cronkite is from Saint Joseph, MO....His dad worked across from my great grandfather.....Our families were very close.......He invited my Great Grandmother and great Aunt to stay at his luxurious apartment in NYC for a few days.....The man was a total gentleman and really was the last objective, non-biased, non-political, and just a real person.....Apollo program, JFK, Vietnam, the guy was the epitome of REAL journalism;!
Thanks to Dave and the crew for posting this. I haven't seen it since it aired. Cronkite was a well seasoned, wise and heartfelt man. Our country would be in a much better place had we followed his advice. I recommend Walters biography if you haven't read it. ♡
Pretty wild to sit here 20 years on and see how spot on Cronkite was with his concerns, especially in an emotional time when few were willing to be this rational.
I was a junior in high school at this time. We didn't know what to do and think, but my Old Man made sure we watched this. It may be weird, but I still tear up. Dave and Cronkite made that feel okay, and still does.
The autobiography Cronkite is excellent! It reads as if he's talking to you personally.
We could trust this man and the media in his days.
We miss The Late Show and Uncle Walter 😔
come on guys upload the full sept 17 episode, the first time back on air when Dave gave that great monologue and brought out Regis to make us feel better again
That Danny Almonte joke is pure gold!
Afghanistan was indeed a bottomless hole. We were doomed to repeat history.
Letterman knew when to show respect and just let the guest speak and show their pedigree.
