David Letterman’s Late Night Animal Guy Was Attacked By an Illegal Beaver - Late Night with Seth Meyers
• David Letterman’s Late...
Late Night with Seth Meyers
/ latenightseth
Seth should have said, “We don’t have an animal guy. But we do have jackals.’”
That's how little he thinks of us.
He doesn't have an animal guy, he IS the animal guy 😂
@@TheRealLeesyKate Ha! Well played!
He's not doing us justice. We work hard
Excellent!🤓
If you are making Dave laugh and enjoy himself, you're doing okay. Congratulations, Mr. Meyers.
Dave is always entertaining, but he's at home in this spot, and I'm sure he finds Seth relatable even just based on that.
Couldn’t say/write it better 👌👍
My thought exactly!
Great point
I don't watch late night TV anymore, but if Dave likes Seth, then I like Seth.
I can’t get over the fact that Seth dressed up for this. It’s so nice.
David Letterman is my generations Johnny Carson. His timing and delivery is impeccable. He’s still got it and outshines Kimmel, Fallon, and the rest. He could return to late night and in two week shut the others guys down. Truly a master at his craft.
"So we sent Mom to Norway..."
Well said
I got the same impression. Dave is as sharp as ever and his timing is absolutely impeccable. He has lost nothing and perhaps gained even more finesse.
To compete? Haha
You can't know this unless you watched his show in the 80s but he literally, single handedly changed the comedic sensibility of the entire country. He created a new style of comedy & a way of looking at the world that everybody followed. He was the Beatles of comedy. And if you were a witness to it in the 80s, you know that I am not exaggerating.
True story! ❤️
So true. It was nightly must-watch viewing. Groundbreaking.
That's why Johnny Carson wanted Letterman to be his successor.
I loved Dave’s reaction when he found out Seth doesn’t have an animal guy. You can see the expression on his face is like “You call this a talk show!?”
He's not wrong.
His reaction reminded me of Norm 💙
Seth is ahead of the curve and he was tactful with his guest here; hopefully animals on talk shows with live audiences will soon be as taboo as animals in circuses. Thanks Seth for caring about the animals
The way he looked at the audience is my favorite part.
The first Letterman show was just goofy, absurdist humor than had never been done before. We loved it - we were in high school back then in the early 80s.
My siblings and I watched it while off from school in the summer. We loved it and when are Dad got home from work we would tell him everything Dave did that day. It wasn't over are heads it was ahead of it time. Of course all the old people and housewives didn't get it.
@@karichristiansen3536 I loved it too! Daytime fireworks.
There was no other relevant program at that time slot...only Nightline..and Carson were the shizzle back then..Letterman had discovered a nich audience in College kids...and boy was that fun. Then he went all mainstream on CBS...lol..if that was possible.
Honestly, what he was doing was really avant-garde... late night was a pretty novel idea in broadcast programming, and it was like the network gave him free reign. As a young teen, I couldn't _define_ it, but I knew it was incredibly cool and different.
I remember watching him throw turkeys off the roof and just thought "genius"
"YOU DON'T HAVE AN ANIMAL GUY!!" LMAO!! Loved seeing Dave, and huge props to Seth for the suit and the respect and love he showed to Dave. Y'all are both fantastic talents, and I'd watch anything either of you is on.
Agreed. He needs an animal guy though. Maybe Will Farrell
Tactful of Seth not to mention it’s because the animals don’t like it.
You can really see the dread and hatred for the TV industry has been lifted off of Dave's shoulders. He seems at ease and relaxed. What a wonderful conversation among peers.
@ghost mall that's a good point. I'm glad John Stewart quit. It was really affecting his mental health and he was getting angrier and angrier.
@@AndreasGeorgiades but then he came back with that crap Apple show lol
David Letterman started my freshman year in college and a small group of folks would watch it every night in a common area. It really was unusually goofy at the time, such great memories. RIP Calvert Grant DeForest, who was known on the show as Larry "Bud" Melman.
Gawd, I love Dave so much...his birthday is the day after mine so I think of him yearly, with love! These two, Dave and Seth, are two of the reasons I still love watching late night TV (or TH-cam, since I work when these shows air). David has always been one of the quickest wits when interacting with anyone, and Seth is right there in the same league. I love you both, and hope to see more guest shots with Dave without any other reason than he's an amazingly funny guest with an enormous number of stories/history to share!!! 🧡
Letterman is still the funniest guy on late night.
"That's why you need an animal guy",
LMAO
These two have some great chemistry. They need to be on together more often.
I miss Dave's lovely voice. He's wonderful. Met him in '96. Was wonderful.
This reminded me to say hats off to Letterman chronicler Don Giller, whose clips of Dave have been fantastic over the years!!
Yeah, since Dave went off the air I have regularly watched old clips of Late Night and Late Show on Giller’s channel. That guy is a treasure.
Always fun to see Santa Dave in public! Still sharp as a tac, recommend Seth book him annually.
He is 74 not 94. 😂
@@Allison-jj1vq who can tell with that beard? He'll look exactly the same.
letterman is a comedy genius. I just love that simple, absurd style. he's a perfect example of how a confident comic can make the dumbest joke hilarious. Who else could sell a bit as stupid as the world's largest vase and make it a 5 day event?
Its midwest shtick.....Gaffigan does the same thing...its all too funny though.
Probably Norm Macdonald.
I really want David to do a stand up special, I love him so much- he’s so special 😅
This visit was a great way to mark the occasion. Congrats to Seth, Dave, and their teams.
I didn't realize how much I miss David Letterman until seeing him on tonight.. Such a fantastic talent... Maybe next time Seth goes on vacation David can fill in!!!! LIKE IF YOU AGREE!!!!
Actually, a bad idea.
Years ago, when Carson was starting the idea of guest hosts for his version of The Tonight Show, Steve Allen was a guest host...for only one time. I believe he actually thought the TS was his again. He was so rude and sh1tty to the TS crew, he lambasted them in front of the live audience when the crew was trying to get him situated on stage with a grand piano he planned to play. The audience got very, VERY quiet. He was never invited back.
@@pamelacass9642 I don't think David Letterman would do anything to hurt his baby.. And the World still loves Dave.
@@pamelacass9642 False. You'll want to look that one up. Steve Allen guest-hosted for Johnny many times in the early 1970s - I watched the shows. Why would Letterman want to guest host when he can get bundles of cash from Netflix - way more than NBC would be willing to pay - to host A-list guests on his own terms and schedule. Guest hosts are apparently not a thing any more on talk shows - I'm surprised nightly talk shows are still a thing at all. They've devolved into making anti-GOP jokes and hosting near-anonymous subpar guests for steadily shrinking audiences. Maybe I'm just too old for it all. So is Letterman.
Dave hasn't lost his comic timing one little bit. He can make anything funny with just a word or a comment, and seeing these two together was great!
I spent many nights watching David. And its great seeing David & Seth together ❤
That reminds me of an old Letterman monologue joke. He said a man came up to him on the street and he watches Dave every night. Dave asked him “Oh, so you like the show?”, to which the man replied “You have a show?”
I'm so happy to see Dave again and that Seth honored him so! Seth by far my favourite late show host working today.
Man, you forget how SHARP and QUICK-WITTED David is.
The confetti thing not working is the most David Letterman thing ever.
And we never found out how David ended up unconscious and riding an ambulance.
Why is David so funny?
He is so understated. I almost did not watch this because it sounded so dumb. It is hysterical!
Awesome!
If it sounds dumb but it's Dave, always make a point to check it out.
I haven't laughed this hard in a long time holy crap! Bring this man back!
I cracked up when he learned that they don't have a late night animal guy. He had a full-body reaction.
my favorite letterman bit is when he ran from the late show to regis' show a few blocks away. the way it was shot, it was leterman actually running, booking it across the city. no camera trick or editing. it was dave sprinting.
The Grandmaster of talk shows. His comedic timing is still impeccable.
@@jaquesstrappe7664 You didn't know it about Dave in the '80s or '90s either.
This was such a good interview! I miss Dave and his quirky sense of humor. But watching Seth giggle with Dave stories was adorable and endearing. I think Dave actually enjoyed himself
What an astonishingly sarcastic man. I approve completely.
That subtle dig at Rogan was the work of a master craftsman! LOL!
I adore David Letterman. And Seth Meyers so this was just an absolute treat. Thank you!
I miss Dave everyday... sharp, humble, and as decent as ever. Grateful for decades of laughter, irreverence, thoughtfulness, and humanity that he has provided.
Who needs an animal guy? Seth has his own jackals!
It is such a joy to hear and see David Letterman again.
…aaaaand, suit explained.
Love seeing these two together. kindred spirits
@@Stevie-J oh my. I am deeply uncool, this just reaffirms it.
You can really see Seth fighting his urge to say why they don't have an animal guy, which would surely bring the mood down. Turns out animals are really not fans of being on stage and it is kinda cruel to force them to, so I for one am glad that they don't have one.
Loved this interview! Dave my all time favorite and Seth my current favorite. Dave always try to form!
Maybe "TRUE:" to form??
Talk show hosts, especially former ones, always make the best talk show guests.
Seth, thanks once again for a fantastic show with Dave as your guest. This was a real treat! You guys are great together. Very enjoyable!
I was born in 79 and so growing up in the 80’s and 90’s, Dave was a household name. Dave and Conan are in my opinion the titans of late night for many years. Thankfully, we have Seth, Colbert, and Kimmel carrying the torch!
This was epic. I loved seeing Dave and Seth together. So much talent and joy!
In high school in the early 90's my best friend and I would always call each other to watch Letterman together... We still laugh about it... Then years later in 2007 I was picked as a Peabody judge and got to go to the awards... I was heavily pregnant and my husband got us tickets to see a taping of Letterman...it was so hot and bc I was pregnant they let us in early... Best time ever. Thanks David Letterman for the wonderful memories.
Find you someone who looks at you as lovingly as Seth looks at David
This
I love their conversation.. they're both smart and funny 😆
Letterman seems genuinely happy.
Dave is a legend. I watched him since the beginning and he was so off the wall. I loved the stupid pet tricks, Top 10 lists, throwing things off the building - you name it. He is insanely brilliant so he could interview and have intellectual discussions with some guests but could interview anyone and make them interesting. His humor is sardonic, self deprecating at times or just silly. I cried so much during his last couple weeks as did many of the beloved guests he wanted on his show during that time.
Miss Dave. Hope he lives forever.
I never missed a Letterman show if I could help it. Love him!
I never loved Lettermen’s show, but this is fabulous. So relatable, and wonderful to see his warmth and generosity to Seth. Fun interview!
@ghost mall as I stated above, for me he is now relatable, warm, and generous. That wasn’t who he used to be. Being a parent has done him a lot of good. And from what I’ve read, his treatment of women on his staff in the earlier years left a lot to be desired. It struck me that he was appealing to a particular demographic, and I wasn’t in it.
Same. I enjoyed him immensely here, but I never cared for him at his height. I always felt uncomfortable with his interview style of women. I went to a couple tapings when I lived in NY, and it was cold, (famously) literally and figuratively.
David Letterman here is charming and oh so funny. Back in the day, the show where he interviewed Lindsay Lohan was the last time I watched his show. He was very cruel, joking about her addiction problems even when she repeatedly asked him to stop and she broke down crying. He often didn’t treat young female guests well but this was the final straw for me.
I didn't really connect with Dave's humor until I was much older. I love his one-on-one interviews on Netflix.
@ghost mall Are you related to Warren Robinett, creator of Atari's Adventure?
This video is indicative of one simple fact: Seth is a heir worthy of late night greats.
My goodness, what a treat! Jack Hannah was worried about embarrassing the show and Dave never had that concern?!!! Lololololol!!! Love it!!!! He needs a million of my kisses all over his face!!!
he is fantastic. what a gem
This was such a treat. Such a rare pleasure. Thank you.
The "that's why you need an animal guy" joke was beamed in by Norm MacDonald and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
😥😥🥲😭
David’s comments, compliments on the band,
live music, are just a sliver of
the support, leg-up that he has provided to musicians, old and
young, black, white, boy, girl,
all sorts, over the years. I believe many artists got their start on MrLetterman’s show,
and at least one, a somewhat dignified end.
2022 needs David Letterman back!
Dave's never not funny. Love him so much! Thanks for having him on, Seth!! :D
Dave is as great a guest as he was a host.
I loved his Netflix show just before covid for that reason; hope that is a thing again.
It’s good to see a person who can appreciate their joy.
I remember when Letterman had Timothy Treadwell on and he said, "I'm not going to open the paper one morning and find out you've been eaten by a bear, am I?" Well...
Too many comedy legends gone from us lately, Dave better make it to a hundred
120
Much love to David Letterman
I'm sure Shoemaker knows an illegal animal guy. Works out of a van or something.
living in a van down by the river!
Dave epitomized the smooth professionalism of a TV host... and Seth is very much engaging in the same way...
wait didnt he apologize for sexist treatment of his female staff?? i guess saying sorry is professional
@@ColoringKaria Good point made... but I will say this... who has not erred in their lives... we generally seem to be very selective and subjective in what we tolerate or will not tolerate... given that there is the very real inherent toxicity that is ingrained in our makeup as human beings...
@@paultwebster9141 wait what? that argument that no one is perfect therefore no one should be criticized when they are wrong is extremely weak sauce. sometimes i miscalculated and tipped 19.5% instead 20% isnt exactly the same as decades of sexual abuse of power as he admitted on air.
@@omi_god yeah he said the same thing to women he forced into sexual relationships in the workplace. he does admit to all of it so there is that.
@@ColoringKaria I agree with your points... but in life there are no absolutes... justice is never applied equally across the board... I am not trying to minimalize Letterman's past behavior... it was egregious... and there should have been a reckoning for him... but all I see are double standards galore... where it always seems to be the low hanging fruit that faces the stiffer penalties... not really sure how to go about squaring that circle to be honest... I certainly do remember him facing up to what he had done... but of course he only did so when faced with the blackmail... and then the eventual, probable exposure... It's likely that some type of resolution was made (ie. money)... and quite possibly an apology... but the likely end result is that the trauma experienced will still linger within a person irregardless of any steps made to try and mitigate the damage caused... I certainly am not expecting you to change your views on Letterman whatsoever... it's just that I did enjoy his presence when I allowed him into my living room... and he definitely has skeletons in his closet, which I can agree should be concerning for probably everyone... but... for some reason(s) that are truly confounding to me at least... I am willing, like everyone in most instances to look past things and take a different slant from the one you are taking... Hopefully we can agree to disagree on this one issue at least...
Look for Don Giller here on youtube. He spent decades putting together an archive on Dave Letterman. He doesn't profit off of it either. It's a real treasure chest for fans!
No one rocks the Karl Marx beard better than Letterman
Karl Marx. At least his had some color in it.
David is a national treasure.
He was Craig Ferguson's boss at late night TV. I'm so grateful for how he gave him the space and support.
Craig also had Peter Lassally, the former Johnny Carson producer as his own producer, Letterman gave Craig Peter to help him, and it worked.
Letterman makes me smile no matter what's going on in my life.
Invite him back. Get an animal guy.
David still has his spark and timing, it was great to see him again. I also appreciate the way Seth stayed quiet snd didn't upstage David at all. When all is said and done, you were ok too I guess Seth
That whole interview was just a joy
Whenever you do get an animal guy you absolutely have to have a jackal on the show
I hear Jordan Schlansky should be available now.
A born Jackal.
Besides, it's not like Seth could afford Ze Frank. Not with Wally draining the budget.
I love Dave, his stories and sense of humor. I miss him so much.
Now that was GREAT t.v. with my two favorite comedic genius, kind hosts out there!! LOVE you both!!!! Big fan for YEARS! Seth, please have Dave back regularly!!
Can this happen once a month? We need more Dave!
Kids, do not google ''Illegal Beaver''...
lol
"David Letterman’s Late Night Animal Guy Was Attacked By an Illegal Beaver" - top notch copywriting.
I cannot wait to watch The World's Largest Vase. Also I sense a standing ovation there at the end 💚
One of the Best Interviews I have seen in awhile. Great job at listening and seeing David Letterman presently. Thank you and for uploading to TH-cam for all of us see the interview.
I could listen to Dave speak for hours! 😁 absolutely hilarious… legend! 👍
I love how much Letterman loves the band.
During TFG'S reign, I started pulling up old Letterman shows at bedtime. I've watched the vase shows recently.
Omg seth is like blushing. Hero of our generation of late night
"What!?!?! YOU DON'T HAVE AN ANIMAL GUY?!?!?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE??!?!" ~David Letterman
LMAO!! I miss those segments!
Seth's sloth story was hilarious and heartwarming and depressingly true.
No animal guy...THAT'S why the jackals are out of control.
Dave is truly a beloved legend. It is sweet to see how much genuine respect Seth has for him.
A legend even to legends.
David elevator raced so Seth could pickle juice
New Message - Exactly. I graduated from high school in '87. I grew up on the original Late Night. Taped it every night and watched it after school each day when i was supposed to be doing homework. This interview is proof Dave still has it.
I literally applauded with them, it's such a joy seen Letterman again
Seeing Dave is a warm hug. Surely he should do a year of sometime again. Why not? I miss a letterman late night world.
How funny is this guy. Letterman is a genius. What an amazing guy to have on. Legend.
Great show, Seth and Dave!! What a genuine treat. Thanks, guys. 😂❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼💥
I'm glad Dave admitted that Jack Hanna didn't know anything about animals as that was my suspicion after watching him on various shows for years. Jack always acted like deep down he was terrified of the animals.
So good to see Dave again. I just love the guy. And have since his NBC morning show.
Good lord, I miss watching Dave every night. His comic timing is still impeccable.
Loved how David acknowledged Seth's "famously" comment about beaver teeth. David appreciated Seth's wry observation. Such an awesome interview.
