What a FANtastic way to build a favorite moments segment. We have had many of the friends Jon talks about in this segment on our show. And many others we would like to have on as well. The connections and friendships behind the scenes make the show even better.
The most amazing part of listening Beckerman's stories and watching the comedy clips is just how starkly you can contrast the pre & post 9/11 world. Really does feel like a magical time of innocence.
The Strong Guy, The Fat Guy, The Genius? Big Man on Campus? Both hilarious bits that I never forgot about, but their accompanying jingles were the icing on the cake.
The Boy Band, Fresh it Up, was peak. If SNL had written/aired that, it would have turned into 10 skits over 5 seasons. It was HILARIOUS! (it has shown up in at least 3 of these memories vids. The writers and costume lady are justifiably proud.)
Fun with Rupert is always hilarious. Did they ever air the clip when somebody pulls a knife out on him? If not can you guys dig it up and post it?? Ice skating with Bill must have been awesome.
I love that it seemed Zsa Zsa was having a legitimate good time in that remote.
YES! She though Dave's jokes were hilarious. She actually slapped her knee several times.
I love all of these memories of working on the show. No one is as good as David Letterman!
Johnny Carson and Craig Ferguson are better than this guy it's obvious
All three genlemen are great hosts, lets be grateful there were no fallons or cordens in the golden age of late night
Wow! You did a great job helping Dave come up with awesome and iconic things to do on TV, Jon.
Love these staff favorite moments. Ingenious whomever came up with this idea, thanks Dave!
Gerry’s catch phrase about Lou Rawls is a classic. And I love how multiple writers have brought it up as part of their favorite memories.
I have such wonderful memories of 'The Bar' sketch. Remember watching it on air.
Bill Murray did so many great skits for dave😂
Bill was his first guest. I was THERE. Murray was hysterical before the show.
As did Regis, Bruce Willis and Rupert.

Thank you, Steve, for Big Ass Ham! I considered those bits to be the height of comedy as a teenager. **giggle** Ass …
What a great segment. Beckerman is a great writer. Way to go!

The Letterman TH-cam channel should post the full performances for Fresh Step and all the fake musicals.
These are Gold! keep em coming ..:)
Brilliant.
I didn;t know Warren Beatty actually did a bit for Letterman show lol.
These are great to watch. I worked nights and enjoyed the show and missed so many bits. Great 👍
Sweet Lou Reed shirt.
Was that Matthew Morrison in the boy band?
Yes!
dave was great and so were his writers
Lou Rawls !
Right now I need Lou Rawls, but I don't have him.
There's only one ham I serve my family it's Big Ass Hams.
THANKS
Yeah! Also, sup!
What was it like being around Paul. The guy who know ever one who was anyone in music. Plus the most uncool cool person ever
Nice 😂
are those ukulele's on the stand in the background!!
bet the janitors LOVED peaboy
Jill Davis = Certified Knockout!!!
He also did ED
In the final sketch who's that next to Dave?
Is that Tom Hulce or Lou Reed on your t-shirt? I can’t quite figure it out….I’m leaning Lou. Damn you had the job of jobs….funny in a circus of funny.
Is it possible that Matthew Morrison started his career in that "boy band"?
that’s my dad!!!!
RIP
I wonder if Dave remembers any of these people.
Corny guy
This was great! Thanks. And nice pad too.
