    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.

    If anyone's curious, the guest is Letitia Baldrige. Among other things, she was an advisor to Clare Booth Luce, ambassador to Italy. Fascinating woman.

    “Let’s Look for Swedes” was originally a talk show bit from the 1930s, but they found that it didn’t play as well over the radio … and the outcome was far less comical once the Swede was located.

      And if I remember right, it’s one of the states where the scandinavians immigrated, like MN, WI, NE, and the rest around there, and they still look Nordic (and Germanic, not just because of the hair but the faces too) despite probably being descendants thereof sooo 🤷🏻‍♀️

    This is the type of stuff I miss that Dave used to do. Today someone would probably accuse a show of being racist, homophobic, or sexist for doing bits like this. They’re funny! Almost any humor is going to offend SOMEone. That’s why it’s funny! It’s irreverent and unexpected.

      Right, that's something Europeans don't understand or know..l had a friend he was blonde from north Italy looked like any Scandinavian. There're many blonde in middle east and Kurdistan as well. For example kurds have blonde, blue and green eyes but mixed in few hundred years with Arabs, turkish..when they attacked and moved to those places.. Anyway not only Europeans or Scandinavians are totally blonde, but many of them are because they don't mixed that much with another nationalities! Some Swedish have dark blonde hair and brown eyes!
      Scandinavian are more racist than Germany nowadays.. They have white power kind of movement and they demonstrating without shame on the street with police protection!!
      I just want to ad something on your comment, personally I'm spiritual l don't care what nationality, race... Because we all are one, no matter if you believe in that or not!!
