1:14 James Earl Jones stood there James Earl Jonesly. Wearing his James Earl Jones suit, and his James Earl Jones glasses, he took a contented moment to think to himself "Gee, I sure am James Earl Jones"
I have a picture of the James Earl Jones Top 5. It was absolutely killing me so I grabbed my camera and took a picture of the screen during the broadcast. And I vividly remember the Barry White. Glorious. Thank you.
I've had the way Barry White says "Big Ass Ham" stuck in my head for the past 30 years. This was just about the funniest thing I had ever seen back then.
The 'Most Replayed' feature reveals who is the best. Even Barry White's supporting singer ladies are excellent. "Keep our love aliiiiive, do that number five!"
One of the best "Top Ten" from the early 90s I believe: new airline slogans after they created a smoking section and non-smoking section: "FLY THE PHLEGMY SKIES!"

I'm not sure if this one counts as a "When Spoken By" list, but I recall one from the mid-90s about words that skydivers say as they jump out of a plane. Other than that, great collection and HE SAID GUPPY!!
I've never needed editing software until Barry White's Top 10 list LOL..editing for the meow and wassup from the one the only James Earl Jones, babeeeee
At 19:50, I recall seeing this the night it was aired…and I’m not sure why but I laughed about that one “last night we saw a man, doing the Macarena…and we beat him to a bloody pulp…”
Don if you're still able, if you can clip out Barry White only, it would be a masterpiece. And might shoot the moon. Then do a Malkovich! And I'd love to know WHICH writer hit those homers. Really genius writing on those two. Chris and Gerard were gone, right? Who was the home run hitter (in the Back Office) (in Omaha Nebraska)? Thanks too for the great video description. I hope people realize how much thought and effort goes into your work.
@@dongiller By the way I confess to taking a first time stumble through the other channel, and Staff Favorite Moments: Writer Rodney Rothman gave me the answer to my question (he at least told of the Malkovich prep process)
Yet another great compilation there! Man, oh man, do I have to note that Barry White's voice is the true definition of "smooth"! Also, I'm gonna abuse your kindness for a bit, Don, and make a little request (that hopefully is easy to be realized... well, a young girl can hope): do you have Susan Saint James' 1987 appearance on Late Night, or know whether it is online somewhere? I'm asking because I've read David Foster Wallace's short story based on this interview (it was originally titled "Late Night", and appeared in later collections as "My Appearance"), and the curiosity bug bit me so hard afterwards that I'm still itching. Thanks in advance for that... ...and even more thanks for taking the time to make all of this available for all of us, in special we young kids in the front lawn, who had heard of Dave's influence on late night as a whole from the mouths of our fave hosts, but couldn't quite find out why since there wasn't a lot of material showing him on his "peak", at least in comparison with the videos available from the late '90s onward. I for one can proudly say I now know why and I do completely agree. Dave's the OG. (God, that's a huge block of text!)
I legitimately wonder how many people in this world owe their existence to Barry White's voice
I was conceived to "Big Ass Ham".
@@MattTee1975 You ain’t wrong, sugah daddy 1:22
@@MattTee1975 HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Barry, White or Manilow, both got you laid.
An entire generation 😂😂😂
Barry White still has the best Top Ten.
Barry`s support vocalists really cemented how funny that list was.
Don Giller deserves an award for these compilations. 🏆
he deserves a goddamn peabody
🥇🏆🥇
James Earl Jones can make the words ‘prostate exam’ sound regal . 👍🏾
And also deeper than you wanted it to be.
The Barry White ladies are fantastic.
Barry White was killin' it!!!👍👍👍👍👍!!!
I watched the whole thing and laughed and loved all.
Thanks 🎉

Thanks for this, I grew up with Letterman and forgot how incredible the show was.
Sooooo much better than the crap that’s being dumped on us these days.
I watched The David Letterman Show every night, 5 days a week.
James Earl Jones looked so serious when he was there lol
Barry White saying gubernatorial ALWAYS make me laugh
Barry White saying "gubernatorial" may be the pinnacle of American television.
Big Ass Ham!
Pataki!

Malkovich gets my vote for best Top Ten ever. Thanks so much for putting this together
With Warren Zevon filling in for Paul…
Barry's voice just sends me into orbit.🤣
Thanks yet again, Don Giller!
Barry White wins hands down.
Please, no wagering.
@@dongiller lol
This is only an exhibition. This is not a competition. Please, no wagering.
I've had the way Barry White says "Big Ass Ham" stuck in my head for the past 30 years. This was just about the funniest thing I had ever seen back then.
Marilyn Horne was in the first opera I ever saw, Bellini's Norma, and she had a voice that could melt an iceberg.
John Malkovich understood the assignment. 😂
Ring tones galore
well done, sir...well done indeed.
Many thanks. Remember so many fondly
You mean I get all these great funk classics on just one CD or cassette?
I like the fact that Dave's wearing the same tie for # 5 and # 6.
Jazzercise made all of the ladies in the front row pregnant
I'm pretty sure I'M pregnant now.
Goes to show how GREAT an actor John Malkovitch is..........communicating so much with so few facial gestures.
This is fantastic.
That Isuzu by the opera singer was pretty amazing!
Thankyou Mr Jones
Funny stuff, sir. Thanks for posting.

John Malkovich is a treasure, his is the best by far
NOUGAT!!!
RIP Barry White. Passed away from heart attack in 2004.
RiP hero 😢❤
13:50 Now watching from the Home Office in Grand Rapids, MI
James Earl Jones gives off real "I'm going to fire my publicist" vibes in the first segment.
I saw James Earl Jones... "In Three Fugitves"... then James Earl Jones was Darth Vader ! "You are not worthy." So funny. ;-)
Way to go Dave. 👏
Nice bonus to see Warren Zevon with the band after Malkovich.
EEEEEEESUUUZUUUU 😂 deserves a standing ovation 👏
Snoop Dogg IS cool. Can see how he gets so many side gigs.
I've never needed editing software until Barry White's Top 10 list LOL..editing for the meow and wassup from the one the only James Earl Jones, babeeeee
god this was GREAT ! Barry White especially.. and Marilyn Horn with the opera voice (and I don't even like opera)
I did a spit take when she sang "groin pull"
You know what? Barry White saying "Prime Time Catastrophe" is, in fact, sexy as all hell
Ow wow I remember Barry White saying 'gubernatorial'!!
James Earl Jones did it twice.. and I will always hear him as Darth Vader.
5:36 Even Barry lost it on that one!
Bezerra
Is it me or does James Earl Jones look likes he’s struggling to keep a straight face a few times?
Absolutely.
And the Emmy goes to..... @DonGiller!!!

My honorable mention for the London Town Crier: Captain Hook shouting -
SSSSSSSSSSSSSMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
I’m kinda bummed that they didn’t have the barbershop quartet sing “Big Ass Ham.”
23:14 You mean I get all these great Dave classics on just one TH-cam video/channel?
For the low, low price, while supplies last! :)
"Mellifluous."
What did Malkovic whisper in Dave's ear?
Barry White could read a phone book and make women hot and bothered.
The Town Crier! 😂😂😂
A top 10 with the Macho Man Randy Savage would have been epic!
Sid, I see a DS-1, a DM-2, and a CE-2 in there. And a BBG.
This is like a spelling bee for late night tv
Optimus Prime doesn’t need a cab, Dave; he *_IS_* a cab
BARRY WHİTE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think ALL words sound great as spoken by JEJ.
I was hoping to see the "Top 10 Things That Sound Cool When Sung by a Blues Singer" one that featured Taj Mahal.
Damn, I missed that one. Sorry.
Those barber shop guys were good!
I remember that episode. Megadeth was his musical guest. They played "A Tout Le Monde."
@@WTF-TV2415 would have loved to har the barber shop guys do theyre version lol

No longer doable, even if I wanted to. This new “shorts” craze means extra work. For what purpose escapes me.
And thanks. :)

Annoying lack of gratitude. Don doesn’t work for you

I can’t believe Facebook is that old
TIL I learned how to pronounce Stolichnaya.
12:53 Too perfect
32:01 Since he's on CBS, he should have said "pressing your luck."
DON GILLER----YOUR TH-cam PAL!!!
"Luke- I'm your father."
@12:03 Make sure you're not playing this at work... it might be mistaken for another word.
Man I miss Letterman so much!
We don’t realize what we have until it’s gone.
When Barry White speaks, every woman in a five-mile radius gets pregnant with his baby.
lmao
J.E.Jones: Dave... I am Not your father
Must be cold in that studio
Can you imagine if Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr came out unannounced as this?
It’d be a bit tough for John, seeing he was killed in December 1980. And George, after he passed in late 2001.
But sure.
I love me some Snoop Dog!
Always sounds like he says my last name playing vader
BW was awesome
Peter Moore? Does he know Dudley Cook
Why are there periods between T and V? TV not T.V. Television isn't two words.
3rd from the right.
Why wasn’t “Father” on that list.
THANK YOU... PS: What happened to LateNight TV?
My favorite @ 24:25
Not even your sense of completionism can justify the horror of posting America’s Next Top Model.
It really was pathetic. She didn't get the premise, and towards the end Dave and Paul were discussing how much they wagered on this list.
