Staff Favorite Moments: Producer Brian Teta | Letterman 

YES! These stories are priceless. Could listen to countless tales from this crew!

They were always so nervous & hesitant, so much trepidation in any bits with him, but then again that was his intention to embarrass & humiliate for the good of the show.

This is my favorite one yet.

so is the Betty White clip.

They're great because you get insight into how the segments/ideas came to be

A better one tho

and what a world it was….class, laughter and originality. God bless us all….

I doubt many kids clicked on this video lol.

Brian's is not such an unusual path for people who work in TV talk shows (he has just been more successful than mostl ). Remember, he started as an intern (for Regis, Montel, & Letterman), but he went to university, too. After getting his degree in his early 20s, Brian worked full-time for a few years in daytime TV: booking for the Montel Jordan Show, the Ricki Lake Show, and Judge Hatchett... before returning to Letterman where he worked for the show's final 11 years: Letterman was an extremely popular show, watched by teens & adults of all backgrounds. Now that Letterman is retired, Brian Teta is back working on daytime TV. This time he's booking talent for The View, which is probably the most popular of the current daytime shows, esp now that Ellen's show is over.

Didn't know that came from Dave. I thought it was a genuine flub here.

Damn near spit my drink out when I heard that line

I apologize if you already know this, but Dave always referred to Kelly as "Kelly Lee," so I'm guessing that was a reference to that.

6:34 "" we just "" ,,,or Regis?

I like it too, such a hypocrite. I'd love to see Hunter Bidens face when the ATF nails him for illegally purchased handgun. For regular citizens, that means jail time.

Same old Trump. He'll never change.

He was caught dead-to-rights. He's usually not speechless when he's called out...although we didn't get to see the full clip. And honestly, a few seconds is all I can stomach of that thing.

@@keefriff99 Agreed on all counts. It's just funny that he does the exact same smug "half eye-roll/half shrug/smug mouth" thing when he's caught. It's such a huge tell.

Trump was the best thing to happen to this country, you communist bastards should leave.

I believe it was Vicki Lee.

He meant Kelly.

Long time running gag.

She destroyed the minds of a whole generation of women convincing them being a corporate slave and lonely cat lady at 40 was being “successful”

@colesteele5683 - agreed - breathy sinister tone... she is just the right size.

I loved that running gag. Ever since Kelly Ripa replaced Kathie Lee Gifford on Live, Dave would often call her Kelly Lee.

Dave was so cruel to him there, lol. That was uncomfortable.

It looks like Marvel something or other.

It's the Arcade1Up Marvel Super Heroes cabinet which includes Marvel Super Heroes, X Men: Children of the Atom, and The Punisher.
