Don’t know where to start. This episode is so great. The fish gutting and cleaning. Jane Curtin. The band trying to play along with a piano playing dog. Really top tier stuff. Thanks for posting.

Yay, another one Ive never seen! Its like going into a time machine for an hour and bring a little gem back with me to share with the world. Must be how Don Giller feels. I mean my 14 year old son thinks these shows are as awesome as I do. I told him these shows were visionary and informed the sort of self aware humor you see on the best places on the internet. He agrees. I think it might have been that all the first people on the internet were Late Night fans in the 80's and early 90's and left an indellible mark on it.

Letterman was the first. The internet would have been perfect for his style back then.

just when I thought I knew everything the Letterman show had to offer, I find out about a freaking 90-minute special with the main attraction being fish cleaning. unbelievable. thank you Don.

This is the first episode I ever saw. I was 15 years old and remember seeing the audience members lining up with the fish and was thinking wtf is this? Created a life long fan. He defined comedy for two generations and will affect it until the end of history.

letterman from the 80s to the 90s was brilliant. lagged a little at the of his cbs career

Same with me.....except I never got into Letterman. But now I'd like to see more of those NBC shows just to give it another chance

@danieldougan269 3 года назад

What a bizarre, avant-garde thing to do on a talk show. This kind of stuff is what made Dave a legend. He dared to experiment and push boundaries, even if only about five people in the country got the joke.

@Targemq8 4 года назад

Such a great episode, an especially fun appearance with the always charming Mr. Short.

I'm sure you have it in one of your detailed descriptions, but, i love the music so much. Especially from the anniversary shows. Is there any recordings of the music on their own?

@dongiller 5 месяцев назад

I’ve shared a few clips of the band playing on their own during the broadcasts as well as performances heard during the commercial breaks. Seek and ye shall find.

So was the first participant on "Stupid Pet Tricks" the Michael Bloomberg who went on to become mayor? Or am I crazy?

And here I was thinking Brother Theodore was just being colorful when he said he was selling roses at a fish market.

@timharrod 6 лет назад

There was a "no betting" clause on fish-cleaning, but not the usual caution against wagering for Stupid Pet Tricks. Could this be where the joke originated?

@dongiller 6 лет назад

I shall check.

@itsmedrooms6071 3 года назад

It seemed really bizarre having Mariel Hemingway doing all the fish cleaning. I don’t think Dave really knew who she was because at one point he actually asked her what she does. She had done all her biggest films by this time (‘83).

@andyb811 2 года назад

Can't believe how much hair David had and how unkempt it was much of the time.

@andyb811 2 года назад

Remember, Bill Wendell worked with Ernie Kovacs in the early 1960's and he felt Dave was a visionary like Ernie. Bill reportedly had a lifetime contract with NBC like Don Pardo and others. What was the deal with the die-job and/or hairpiece?

@darrenrathwell4552 Год назад

Wow. Look at that hair..
