I was a KID when this was on but I loved his show when I saw it...and tech always was a fan. This dave is my fave late night host. I loved early arsenio as well and early conan but this was my fav. I liked Carson but I loved Dave growin up
Yes I love Charles Griffin, I bought his book 😊and Linda Ronsted, well I played her music at my Mother's funeral and Letterman well I remember when thatt same shirt was in the stores and yes we were in different schools at exactly the same time. Signed , hey kid did you get the Polio vaccine yesterday? Thank you for posting this, it is a given.
Dave made no bones about his loyalty to major network TV, and his skepticism bordering on annoyed dislike he had towards the phenomemon of cable taking over programming in the 1980's. Although he did give in and 'drink the cable kool-aide', ultimately in getting it installed in his house as many of us did back then, he did live long enough to see pay TV become the flagging entertainment paradigm. Now money-conscious modern consumers are ditching the cable box in favor of the internet.
@@darsure3006 Not exactly sure how you're trying to be clever with your bold use of meme-isms for 11 year olds. But I imagine that given your demonstrated abilities perhaps practicing reading instructions on tampon boxes and personal lubricant remover, is better suited for you. Enjoy your HPV and welfare loaves.
Anybody know anything about this particular episode? I get the distinct impression the two 'parts' were taped at different times (the show itself, as one part, and the whole 'remote' part with Dave at "home", waiting for the cable guy, taped ahead of time (btw, does anybody also know if that was Dave's REAL house (at the time)? I'm pretty sure those were his two dogs (Bob and Stan), and if I'm not mistaken, wasn't that Merrill Markoe in the background, the woman he was living with then, who was also a writer on the show? And if so, why didn't he 'introduce' her.....or at least bring her front and center, at some point?))? I suppose it's possible they taped the two parts simultaneously, but I find it highly improbable that they were able to do that, and have it work out the way it did... I know, I know.......I ask a lot of (stupid) questions. Still, if anyone knows any of the specifics regarding this particular episode, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks.
Dave was In his office while interviewing Grodin. All the viewer saw was the backdrop, which was made to look like the wall behind Dave at home. All of the home video was taped earlier at, yes, his actual home.
Paul can be so cringey, I think I would have watched this show while it aired a lot more if Dave had a different foil. Paul's whole 'hepcat' front makes him come across so douchey sometimes, and he was funny I think maybe 3 times in the entire 30 years.
Adam Cartwright Nelson Riddle's arrangements are Legendary - in fact they are intricate musical gestures including classical and jazz movements - enveloping singers. Ella, Frank and Linda being his finest vocal partners. The opposite of schmaltz - you mister Cartwright are a musical fool.
And does it really matter how the music might be categorized? You either like it or you don't. It's a matter of taste. I, for one, have admired and enjoyed Ms. Ronstadt since the late 1960s. The American Songbook -- "cheesy schmaltz"? This was mainstream music of the 1950s. During the interview, Ms. Ronstadt mentions that her dad gave her a Charlie Parker record. Is that what you mean by "jazz"? Ms. Ronstadt's record company was dead set against her changing her music from country and rock to this music. She was told that she would destroy her career. Before her first performance in New York, she didn't know how it would turn out. The result was spectacular: The concert sold out, a national tour followed with sold out concerts, another platinum album. (She had four back-to-back platinum albums in the 1970s.) But -- different strokes for different folks. Tell me what music you like, and maybe I can say something nasty about it.
