Hal's direction was such a crucial element to what made Late Night funny. The way he'd cut to some random bystander during a bit was a signature move that always worked. Really innovative and inspired direction.

@jjryan1352 2 года назад

One of my favorite Late Night lines: "The good thing about New York is when it rains it makes its own gravy."

@mhmrules 2 года назад

It warms my heart to hear Hal's voice.

@evenflowsteven 2 года назад

Hal seems like a genuinely good guy.

@alexplorer 10 месяцев назад

Pretty sure you're just saying that in hopes of getting close to his wife. Get in line, buddy.

@robatsea2009 2 года назад

Man, what a joy to see Hal again! That was the beauty of watching the show - it would incorporate so much of its behind-the-scenes personnel into appearing on camera and making it all the funnier for it.

@EdKazO-Vision 2 года назад

These are stellar events in TV history. You’re a treasure Hal!

@magiciangob 2 года назад

That skit was so ridiculous, with the table flipping and "You can't sleep through the honeymoon!" Really great to see some classic clips that showcased just how clever and risk-taking Dave's crew could be. I was hoping to see some Hal Gurnee's Network Time Killers (the one where they went to the Laundromat was my favorite) but maybe another time.

@tastyjay 2 года назад

Hal Gurtner (it's Gurney, Dave) was incredibly important to the success of Late Night. His understanding of how to capture what was going on and what to focus the camera on was invaluable. Under a different director, much of the comedy would be lost. God bless that man. P.S. I loved the film festival shows. I'm sure they were a ton of work but man were they worth it.

Great to see Hal! The Emmy award winning director and legendary race car driver.

"...Porky's 5, and let me tell you, I have never laughed harder in my life" . 80s comedy gold!

@toddcnoker 2 года назад

Hal! You're a legend! You presided over some of the most innovative comedy on TV. You should be very proud of every moment. You entertained me as a teenager staying up late on Fridays and during summer break to watch Letterman. Thank you, sir!

@joshcarrico1210 2 года назад

This is so great. I'm hoping we get a lot more of these "Staff Favorite Moments" videos. Really hoping for a Biff Henderson one.

Please keep these staff favorites coming, they're wonderful! Thank you!

Laughed every time Dave called him Hal Gurtner.

@clownnookie Год назад

I was just scanning all these comments to see if anyone else laughed when he did that. It was such a small thing!

@gluecement 5 месяцев назад

Dave's expresión at 8:04 after he says "I'm going to make that woman mine!" still gives me a good chuckle.

Happy 99th Birthday today to Hal Gurnee! 🎂

@leonardstilwell1894 2 года назад

Priceless. Thank you, Dave and the Late Night team!

@jimlaforte1755 2 года назад

Mr. Gurnee was one of Television's Live Directors, creative minds and risk takers. His contributions to Late Night Television were Epic. Thank-You for featuring this wonderful Gentleman and his Legendary work.

@johnsjohnson448 2 года назад

Mr. Gurnee is one of Television's great minds. A "Live" (as it happens) Directing Pioneer who worked with most of Late Night Television's Best. He both started and ended his Career at the right time. Thank-You for sharing.

Andy's bit with Lawler is one of the greatest moments in TV history

Blue shirt...chino pants..brown leather loafers.

Hysterical!! Good to see you, Hal!! Awe!!

@moxica93 2 года назад

My favorite thing about the Film Festival skit is that Dave still refers to her as "Mrs. Hal Gurnee" even after he marries her.

@LloydBraun11 Год назад

It's wonderful and a bit surreal seeing Dave, Paul and Biff in what resembles a 1980s movie. Judging by this, if Dave would have had the interest and motivation back then, he could have just as easily starred in his own sitcom or string of comedy movies.

@dannystrat 2 года назад

I missed this the first time around! This is one of the funniest Letterman sequences I’ve ever seen! I’m glad this is been posted.

@joelmarksbury4376 2 года назад

It didn't occur to me that "Yes Dave" was a nod to 2001: A Space Odyssey until I was 40 years old.

@thelettermanpodcast Год назад

Hal is a legend, and every bit a first class performer in how he contributed to the show.

@caliscribe2120 2 года назад

Hal Gurnay! So happy to see him.

@johndavis3921 2 года назад

Oh, How wonderful it is to see Mr. Gurtner (as Dave would say before Hal would correct him). I remember Andy and Jerry. The Only difference is NOW they added BLACK Boxes over Andy's mouth. My how times have changed.

@user-hm5zb1qn6g Год назад

Wow. Great to see Hal is still with us.

@nomnomnomJon Год назад

Hal a legend of early tv and unsung hero of the classic letterman. He was as much a producer as director in the early days. Oh and poor uncle milty with that honker and an unsatisfied lady.

@namj8145 Год назад

Holy f.....!!! I swore Hal had died ages ago. To know he's alive is the highlight of my day. It feels like seeing an old friend, and you don't say that about a lot of TV directors. But he was such a great part of the show's bits.

@mrchopsticks3 Год назад

Late Night was like a cable public access show that somehow was being broadcast on network television.

"Blue Shirt, Tan Chinos, Brown Loafers..." Hal Gurnee.

@craigfazekas3923 Год назад

The skit with Dave falling in love w Hal's wife was priceless !! SCTV comes to Letterman.... 🚬😎

@johnmckenzie4639 2 года назад

Great to see Hal again. It looks like he's still wearing the blue shirt. It's a shame we couldn’t catch a glimpse of the tan chinos. I'd love to see staff memorable moments from Biff, Gerry Mulligan and Chris Elliott. It's sad that Pete Fatovich is no longer with us. I'm sure he'd include "cold shoulder and hot tongue. " 😄😄😄

@dontrockwobble 2 года назад

and yet how odd that at 1:18 Andy Kaufman *is* wearing the traditional Hal Gurnee uniform :)

@TM-zj1xt Год назад

One of my ultimate role models. Would love to come back someday as Hal, I really mean this. He was at the vanguard of modern comedy. And to have a steady gig at Rock Center on that show, would have been magical.

@ryanellis4474 5 месяцев назад

Excellent! I am glad Hal is living a great retirement! I will pray for America. Please pray for me. God Bless you.

That film with Hal's wife was brilliant--never seen that one before. Please post Harry Shearer's film "The Making of 'You Wouldn't Believe Our World'"

@carlodave9 Год назад

Dave’s acting deserved a better script, something more like Brokeback Mountain.

@PopeLando 2 года назад

Wow, that whole sketch about Hal's wife which was half the runtime, was terrible. Except for the part when Biff punched Dave, and then that bit at the end about her being Milton Berle's girlfriend.

@drillthrallable 2 года назад

Apparently some of those skits weren't as funny as I remembered them to be.

@kevinjohnson3119 2 года назад

I like Letterman, but that was pretty lame.

@CasperLCat Год назад

Sorry, fans of Dave. The whole Mrs. Gurney thing was creepy and not unfunny at all. It wasn’t just unpleasant, the premise itself was just not funny. The only interesting part was the possibility that Dave was making fun of his own (now past) womanizing with that bit.
