Welcome to the Letterman RU-vid 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.

Fun Fact: Rena and her monkeys were originally scheduled to perform on one of Late Night’s Las Vegas shows the previous May but was bumped. Then rescheduled to come to NY in August. Also one of the very few times Paul’s “shit” got past the censors for air.

It got past me! I didn’t notice it until you brought it up!

@corruptduboiscountyindiana5058 4 месяца назад

and what was the name of the monkey that killed her

@mcdarwin Год назад

I love her comment at the end of the bit, "I don't believe this ." Still funny over 36 years later.

@painin2teeth 7 месяцев назад

I kind of feel bad for her

@FUGP72 14 дней назад

@@painin2teeth Why? It was exactly what she wanted. She was doing a bit. Unbeknownst to Dave and the producers. Pretty obviously too. Everything was pretty well choreographed. Or did you think she REALLY almost hit the one monkey with the table wen she carelessly swung it toward her and the monkey just ducked on its own? That was all pat of the training. The only real botched part of this was the male monkey not eating the banana candle at the right time and some other minor stuff.

Dave was right to be scared as one of these monkey's ripped the face off her owner in CT. That little monkey hated him lol

Dave was scared of all the animals though if it wasn't just a dog he'd shift away.

This episode was a month after Crispin Glover’s freak out, which made this one even more entertaining at the time. If I recall, Dave went on a vacation after this.

CLASSIC moment for the show. I remember for the anniversary show from this year (I think it was the 6th anniversary special)...they double-edited in the facial expression here at 5:50 when she knocked the glass away (so it was in the segment twice)....but it was oh so entertaining! 🤣🐒

I watched this the night it first aired and it's been a favourite moment ever since. I certainly didn't know that I'd be able to watch it whenever I wanted to on a computer back then. I use the famous line about ripping a vein out of my neck whenever I see a spider, as an arachnophobiac.

@FUGP72 14 дней назад

She was perfectly in tune with them and aside from the male not eating the banana candle at the right time, this is EXACTLY how se wanted it to go. Did you really think she almost hit the female monkey with the table? Obviously not. That was a well choreographed bit.

@auntpamwa Год назад

If you listen carefully, at time 8.22 you can hear Paul say "shit" and it did not get bleeped off the air. I remember when this aired in 1987 and I laughed my head off. Unfortunately, I did not record it on my VCR and I could not replay it as many times as I would like, like I can now:)

@trekkiejunk Год назад

"Punishing them" 10 minutes later would not be part of any training logic, even if they were using negative reinforcement. That would just be someone taking out their anger. That said, Sandy's "freakouts" were all part of the act. The same monkey act was done on Carson a few years earlier with almost the exact same results.
