Welcome to the Letterman RU-vid Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show - as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. The language may strike you as quaint & flowery, the clothing comically lacey & ornate - but that’s how things were back in this colorful and now bygone era.

I traveled from Ohio to New York to be in Dave’s studio audience on May 15, 1990. Just after the show ended, I yelled down to Barbara and asked if I could have the Top 10 list card as a souvenir. She said no, they kept those on file. Then without prompting from me, she grabbed a shooting script from one of the cameras, walked over, and handed it to me. Thanks again Barbara - I still have that script some 33 years later!

I have a cue card from the Tonight Show (hosted by Johnny) with the list of guests that night. I haven't looked at it in a while, but I remember that the Robert Cray band was one of the names on it.

@426SuperBird 9 месяцев назад

That's quite a prize! I'd watched The Tonight Show since the early 1970's and wanted to attend a taping, but never had the chance.

@ThymeKeeper Год назад

The yelling from backstage always cracked me up. Especially when Dave would ask some involved, semi-random question and she would yell "What?" :D

@WTFG78 Год назад

That ending montage is a work of art and an excellent closer to 33 years of entertainment. Thanks again, Barbara. :)

@oldstockwhitecanadian2492 Год назад

Dave sure knew how to surround himself with awesome people of passion & integrity. 35 years is a testament to it. Am sure am not the only one thinking it: we miss you guys and thank you for all the memories & the awesome wild ride! You were part of something very special. And equally special, you were also part of our families, each night. God bless, Barbara!

Kids to grownups. Perfect. Also notable that Bruce thereafter decided to lay off the barbiturates.

He certainly got more coherent after this. It was a cry for help.

@anydeenow Год назад

Barbara, you are an absolutely amazing person with so much to be proud of and for us to be appreciative for. I can only imagine why you chose “lifesaving” as your describing word, but in many ways, you’ve certainly contributed to saving our lives. Thank you for everything and Happy Birthday!

Barbara’s music video look was a pretty amazing transformation! My mouth dropped open when she emerged from the dressing room - but I still think that her own style suits her best! You were always cool to us, Barbara!

@vinalboy Год назад

I’ve been addicted to everything Dave since y purchased my first VCR. I began recording Late Night four nights a week and would bing on the week’s episodes every weekend. When the show left NBC I continued recording right up to the very last show. I am so grateful that you and Dave are keeping us addicts high on what was and will always be my favorite television program. Thank you Barbara.

@tristano1984 Год назад

Wow... 35 years working with the same people, it really has to be a huge part of someone's life. I can't imagine how Barbara felt the day it was over.

You are THE BEST Barbara! The highlight of my work from home days are opening a youtube tab and seeing a new Letterman update from you and the crew. Thank you for ALL the work you've done over the years and all the work you continue to do! To many more years of love and laughs 🥰❤

@Genious. Год назад

There are 2 things that can make me instantly cry and both of them are Letterman moments - that montage and Norm MacDonald's last appearance when he was practically hiding behind Dave because he was on the verge of tears. I'm sure there are other things, but I can rely on those 2 moments at any given time.

@redskins5926 Год назад

The one Barbara moment that always comes to top of mind for me is when Dave went too long on one of his Conan/Jay Leno monologues (at the time Conan was leaving the Tonight Show), and then when Dave asks if he has time left, Barbara screams her characteristic “NO!” Thanks Barbara. Definitely miss Dave and his trademark irreverence on TV, considering how today’s late night shows are just too political.

I still have that last show recorded onto a VHS tape. I hope to be able to have enough notice of when I die to watch the last show on my last day on Earth. I wonder if Dave knows how much he means to people?
