@WKRPinCINN Год назад

He basically phones in the stand up, then totally dominates the interview.

@unnamedshadow1866 10 месяцев назад

what makes it even crazier is that the host instead of upset, gets entranced and joins with the audience to have a good laugh. The other guest also does it. They know someone that doesn't pop often is in there. It would be a disrespect to interrupt, and it would be a shame to not seeing a craftsman does his craft. Its basically sheer admiration, they wanted to see a performace and he gave them one. Even at the end when the hosts ask if he wants to take that flower, its like, you earn my respect, you are the real deal

Looks like they just invented colour television.

@Discrimination_is_not_a_right 6 лет назад

Color broadcasting wasn't universal until a couple of decades after color TV wasn't invented. Transmitting in monochrome took less power.

@RyanSchweitzer77 4 года назад

@@Discrimination_is_not_a_right It wasn't a matter of using more power to transmit color, it was in the extra equipment for color video and it's extra complexity and (initially) cost compared to B&W television facilities that delayed the widespread adoption of color television (a few smaller countries didn't convert to color TV until the 1980s). It usually takes the same amount of RF power to transmit a color analog TV signal the same distance as a B&W signal for the most part.

Man those guys were a bit square. Letterman had a lot of fun on that show. It's rare when the guest puts on a better show than the host

@Cpapa18 6 лет назад

A lot of awkwardness and a lot of, I guess the best way to describe it would be, what seemed like light-handed insults coming both from Letterman and the other two people. Entertainers and talk show hosts REALLY sucked at entertaining others on TV back in the 70s. This was terrible. It's actually painfully obvious they had nothing to do or talk about and Letterman (and a little bit from the other two as well) were just trying to fill the air with whatever random crap came to their mind. A throw back joke, a slightly funny story, a whole bunch of random conversation that led to nothing but awkward silences and barely any laughs. Ugh, so bad.

@erichaynes7502 2 года назад

This is why the Tonight Show ruled the 70's,. nobody else could do what Johnny did..Dave did a great job starting in 1982 but it was very different from Johnny.

@pronemanoldbutyoung5548 6 лет назад

That was Lettermans early routine, with his dad and power tools ha ha. Nevertheless, when a Letterman joke bombs, he sometimes get real hysterical laughter, because the way Letterman handles the bombs. Pretty much like Carson got hysterical laughter when his monolouge bombed. Letterman is not a true comedian like e.g. C.K Louis or Seinfeld or Rickles. But Letterman is top 3 ever lived talk show hosts. That was his true calling and he pulled it of so perfect during all those years, like his master Carson did.

@kevinnelson66 5 лет назад

Letterman was the worst stand up comedian ever. He made the jokes on news type things from his failed weatherman career.There isn't even a guffaw in those horrible jokes. I like how the second banana guy on this Canadian talk show zinged Dave right before the end. Johnny made Dave famous by giving him a show with writers and a band. Dave treating guest like crap got him a college audience and his start.
