Larry "Bud" Melman as Kenny the Gardener as Donny the Pastry Chef as Jay Leno (October 13th, 1986) 

Dave's skits are like partially remembered dreams

Larry "Bud" Melman was the most beloved man in America for a few years.

Happy 100th to Larry "Bud" Melman - July 23, 2021. RIP Calvert.

Calvin DeForest RIP loved this guy

Just absolutely wonderful

Larry was so cute. Like a character from a far side cartoon, glasses and all.

80s Letterman is best Letterman

For those who might not get this, this was the essence of Letterman. You put him in front of a dumpster fire, and watch him squirm!

It's unbelievable just how big and unexpected of a jackpot Larry "Bud" Melman won with his gig on Letterman.

I miss these days. He was eccentrically funny🙂

This is absolute magic….just OUTSTANDING.

This is why I was often late for school.

I remember my first viewing of "Late Night" in the summer of 1983. Author James Clavell was the announced guest, and this guy strutted out, posed imperiously in front of a giant mock-up of the cover of "Shogun," and then proceeded to denounce David for his weak questions and failure to understand his writing. Then he broke into tears and called himself a "sham." I thought it was horrible to witness this breakdown, but couldn't look away. Everyone else knew it was Bud, but not me, cause I never saw the show before. I was a loyal viewer for years, and always awaited the great sham author's next appearance. Larry was the king.

"Well pump me full of sewage and leave me in a ditch." LOL

Everyone loves Larry

Always Loved the way he said "Hi David"

I knew Larry Budd Melmen. he was one of my first customers at Sterling Optical BayRidge Brooklyn NY Bud Millman wore Contact lenses under eyeglass because the eyeglass we're part of his act to be funny. May he RIP Bud Melmen

Correction: Calvert DeForest as Larry "Bud" Melman as Kenny the Gardener as Donny the Pastry Chef as Jay Leno. But thanks for a great clip. =o)

Larry Bud was so cute, loveable, and cuddly, that I would have married him on the spot if I had the chance, donning the best wedding dress any wedding in the World has ever witnessed. AND I'M A STRAIGHT GUY!

Omg the sound effect!

Where would we be without Donny the Pastry Chef???

he is oh so cute love love love him

You would be half asleep, and there he was.

My hero.

Hey, whoops!

Hi David. What a sweet guy.

Hey Donnie

LOL "coins?"

These train wrecks are truly the best. They were so far ahead of their time.

2:33 I swear he's saying "what's fucking Donnie"

Wending machines, lol. He was the best. And the worst.

When he broke into Bali Hai I nearly shat myself

BOINNGGGGG!

Everything with Calvert got higher and higher concept as time went on.

I can't help but notice. You have 111 Subscribers, Brett Walsh. One, for "no Gardening. One, for "no Landscaping" and, yet, another, for "no Flower arranging." Congratarrangions. Edit: "

Hey whoops!

Donny was the godfather of fusion cooking..................

Larry Bird Melmouth the Wanderer

the hyptnotist , I think I saw that episode ! Shit I cant think of his name but Letterman just kept hip-checking the guys 'act' to the point where he was reduced to insulting Dave.

I wish someone would post the Enzo Bud Melman bit where Larry pretends to be Enzo Ferrari.

Flour arranging

Hi

Letterman owes a bit to Chris Elliot?

Why is the volume so low?

...either this ep. lost it's 80's luster or seriously... WTF?

Donny the Pastry chef never worked as well as Kenny.

Chris Elliot was way better
