God these 80's NBC shows had such a laid back, creative, fantastic vibe. Even on a down night(for Letterman) like this, I still can't stop watching. It makes you feel like this show is some big secret being taped in a basement somewhere, and only you and 3 of your closest friends know about it. Never be another one like it.
Fun Fact: The script that was discussed for a movie called "Dust to Dust" never was made into a movie... BUT the person Eddie Murphy was talking about and that script's writer was none other than Peter Farrelly (Dumb and Dumber, Shallow Hal, Green Book).
melikeymikey87 holy shit, really? I'm not even going to investigate. i dont care if youre trolling i believe you because i want to live in the world where that is true.
It's rare to see someone who actually upload Dave's 80 show at a decent, untampered quality. Thanks for uploading this! Do you have anymore of Late Night?
I REMEMBER TAPING THIS ON MY TAPE RECORDER BACK IN THA DAY IN 85 SINCE I DIDNT HAVE OR COULDNT AFFORD A VCR BACK THEN IPLAYED THIS EVERYDAY ON MY TAPE RECORDER.
Its easy to forget how Letterman used to be a relentless smartass. That's why he had such a young audience. This kind of constantly tongue-in-cheek kind of thing just doesn't exist any more. It's a miracle it actually got on and stayed on air.
foto bitch it was the eighties pussy,great times because we were younger then,is the same for the twenty something's of today everything is new an exciting and they probably think Jimmy Fallon is the shits!
He's deflating all of the phony show biz hype, network executives, cable channels and stars plugging their material. He was as anti-establishment as it got. He got so much more mellow and celebrity-friendly in the later years. All he did later was criticize conservative Republicans, which in Hollywood, is the establishment position to take.
You do realize Johnny Carson... yes that Johnny Carson used his company to get this show put on the air after the tonight show because he thought it was so good and liked letterman’s talents so much? And that Dave and the rest of the Harvard comedy writer guys went in to be some of the most successful influential and talented people in modern writing history? Because Dave was indeed such a sarcastic smartass, but for the sake of being flippant and comedic. It was the Harvard lampoon style. Roasting everything and apologizing for nothing.
too bad ya dont ever see much of eddie anymore... its crazy how young he started out n got mega famous! he was like 21 or 22 in trading places! thats insane
*MANDELA EFFECT* - Letterman's joke at 2:45 is about Ed McMahon and the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes. Many seem to remember the commercials for PCH's Sweepstakes featuring Ed McMahon awarding winners with a giant $1,000,000 check. According to Publishers Clearing House, those commercials didn't ever happen as they now claim they never had any association with Ed.
So refreshing to remember back in time when late night talk shows were fun and interesting to watch and not just a platform for the host to opine constantly about his dislike for the president.
Oh, boo fuckin hoo. Complain to Trump - tell him to stop giving them so much material. Elect a clown, then you don't get to whine when comedians laugh at him.
Yeah that’s when some scary dude called Lake Effect comes to your mansion, and dumps all of this powder off, making it impossible for normal people to function, so they just stay put, shoveling all of the stuff up their noses. And it’s Rick James, bitch!
Nerd Alert: This is actually from August (28) and not May- Eddie's album wasn't released until July and he's promoting the MTV VMAs which was held in September 13.

Incredible transfer. Looks like official streaming quality. Eddie and Dick were a great comic team. I liked the politically incorrect talk. I think Dave's funniest years were still ahead of him. They barely even tried to add jokes to the gift shop items. 1986 or 1987 seems to be when Dave really bloomed into his full comedic personality.
I saw previous Murphy on Letterman when he was talking about moving to Jersey and initially I thought "well well. He wants to go to Jersey. Good for him." But then it turned out to be New Jersey not Jersey and "well well" became "meh!"
hpoonis2010 If you haven’t learned, there’s likely no way an American would refer to Jersey, England when they say Jersey. Same with Georgia-we’re talking about the state not the country.
I think Paul was pissed at Dave the whole show. Dave didn't let him announce his band member's birth arrival. Took it right away from Paul. What a dick move.
Yeah- there was a story in Jeff Pearlman's USFL book about how James was friendly with members of the Bills and hired Doug Greene- who went onto USFL after a couple years in Buffalo- as a bodyguard
