    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. The language may strike you as quaint & flowery, the clothing comically lacey & ornate - but that’s how things were back in this colorful and now bygone era.

    I have been a fan of Dave for 30 years or more, saw his late show life in NY, he is an exemplar, as a human, he is kind, generous with his guests and people in general, his humour is intelligent, and his timing and observant prowess is first class.
    He is respected by his peers, by presidents, Hollywood A listers, and all who have enjoyed working with him, his appearances here and in other places never gets old, I miss his late show, long may he live and keep being Dave.😊

    Dave is, of course, correct. Zany Afternoons is a joy to behold...and beperuse. His writing absolutely reminded me of reading National Lampoon magazine in high school, and having horrible episodes of suppressed laughter (the absolute best, and most painful kind).

    I saw the interview a few days ago that you repeated and his artwork hit my funny bone.I suspected he must of passed away as it was a strange interview to replay and a lot of the time when I think that its because you have replayed interviews of people who have recently passed.
    Yesterday I wondered if he had any books published and found the one Dave 'co-authored' online and purchased it and it should arrive in the next few days

    As Dave said the old National Lampoon published a Sunday newspaper parody which included and advertising supplement for a fictional business called Swillmart. And each tiny part, illustration and copy, was indeed very sharp and funny. I believe you can find each individual "page" of it online.
