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. These highlights have been artisanally-produced, carefully-curated, and chosen completely at random by an old computer that used to pick numbers for the New York Lotto back in the 90’s.

I loved the shows more than anyone can love anything. These staff moments I love just as much. They make my day.

@Bernstorm5000 Год назад

Don't know why I didn't watch all these when you posted them. I am finally catching up on all these "Staff Favorite Moments" posts. To Dave, Barbara, Mary and the Pants team, these are fantastic. Congrats. I remember a majority of these clips, but this concept of highlights with back stories is just perfect. Probably better than posting old episodes. Love the extra context which sometimes makes these segments even funnier. Keep it up-and thank you.

That contained a totally unexpected heart warming moment.

@daniellecyr6169 Год назад

I just finished watching the video 10 seconds ago and now I'm going to have to go back and re-watch to remember what that heart warming moment was! 😂

@illygah Год назад

I don't think this one had an ending. I love the way it finished (I'm laughing, it was funny) but that last sentence never ended. God Bless Barbara and Bill and Jim and Don and Dave and Chris and Merrill and Gerard! Merry Christmas, all of us!

@billscheftyoutube Год назад

The last sentence, which I eventually got to when Barbara and I stopped giggling, was "I just wanted to get that stare from him. I had made him laugh enough. When I said something that he knew was funny but couldn't laugh at, he would just stare at me. That was my goal...."

Loved Joe Grossmans acting on the show. Need a video from him on the channel.

The blue card note incident killed me.

@OTOss8 Год назад

This was excellent. It's wonderful to hear from the writers who took up the tremendous challenge to slake our burning thirst for humour using only the pungent and oft-times florid sweat born of their toil. Cheers.

Somebody found the thesaurus

@OTOss8 Год назад

@@GPSjammer Oh the prose is intentionally purple but those are hardly thesauran words. If I were deep into the thesaurus I would have found more lurid words to replace things like "excellent, wonderful, hear, writers, tremendous, challenge, toil" etc. you get the point. Cheers bud.

@plaws0 Год назад

First, Mr Scheft, thanks. Second, right there with you on the de-raisining of the oatmeal-raisin cookie. Personally, I would *also* remove the oatmeal, but that's just me.

@cactaceous Год назад

There is no need for raisins to coexist with oatmeal. Let alone in a cookie! I would Scheft raisins out of my oatmeal cookie too. Any day.

Hey Dave and Late Night. I thought I’d seen every bit on every episode! But there’s always something I missed. Seeing these now, is one of the best things in Media World there is to watch. These are great! I look forward to the next and next and next… Thanks!

Walter’s name has a funny spelling here.

@bernlin2000 Год назад

Bill will forever be impressed on my memory for goading Letterman to try and play an Eagles song on the air, potentially costing the show hundreds of thousands of dollars in licensing fees 🤣 great moment in the later years.

@rickbecler7268 Год назад

Sorry I hit send too soon haha. My name is Rick I was one of your satellite uplink engineers when you're in San Francisco in the 90s, I also worked on all the Manny the hippie remotes after you went back to New York. Do you think you guys could show some video from that week and also from the Manny the hippie segments, thanks! You still Rock Dave!

"PAUL!" with theme music courtesy of R.E.M. Nice!!!

@MrEvans1973 Год назад

Somewhere, I still have a VHS tape with the “Where the hell is Paul?” when Dave found him at Roseland jamming with Bob Dylan and his band. October ‘94.

@daniellecyr6169 Год назад

I have a few VHS tapes at my mom's place. No longer have a VCR to play them on though so have no idea what's on them!!

@rickbecler7268 Год назад

Oh I forgot to tell you that when Manny went to see a movie for the show, don't know what movie it was, he hit on my fiance, it made me laugh

What exactly is going on with that cookie? Are you picking raisins out?

@freeadrian1144 Год назад

15:16 It is close, but I think Tom Malone's ATM joke may have it beat.

@jjryan1352 Год назад

For a second I could have sworn he was Mr. Lippmann from Seinfeld.

@Brian-uy2tj Месяц назад

I take it he doesn't like raisins in his cookies? I felt like I was at the zoo watching a monkey pick "whatever" off of his buddy and nibble on it.

Is this Richard Fancy aka Mr. Lippman aka Elaine’s boss on Seinfeld? 😅

@pauld.172 Год назад

Bill is clearly a funny, likable guy and I was a regular viewer until the last show. Still, regarding the later CBS years, so much of the comedy outside of the monologue seemed to be ‘gratuitous, marginally funny running gags.’ Alternately, author Bill Carter called it thin gruel.

@@billscheftyoutube I didn't know that you were responsible for the oil dip stick bit but I've always remembered it and thought it was absolutely hilarious. My reaction would have been far different than the tow truck driver. He must have seen a lot of weird behavior and become jaded. Thanks for the grememoryat memory.
