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.

The sneezing monkey was indeed a staple of the show for a while. I couldn't get enough of it.

@toddler1009 Год назад

that jackie gleason joke was really good

@justinkoenig1706 Год назад

I'd like to know who wrote my favorite Fun Fact -- "13% of Americans don't care for the remaining 87% of Americans."

@thelettermanpodcast Год назад

Great one. Hmmmm. To the research mobile!

@mariyamwaniki Год назад

😄 more like 50%

@sportbikejesus Год назад

@@mariyamwaniki definitely true on a macro level. Eg when the only thing I know about someone is his horrendous political views, I hate him. But I have plenty of acquaintances who have those same views and by all accounts they’re lovely people.

@thelettermanpodcast Год назад

Joe a Grossman is a national treasure. He recently appeared on a two-part-super-fantastic-happy-time episode on our show, and we are please to announce it went ‘well.’ Herbie Hancock would be proud.

@darrellbarfz8666 Год назад

Autism humor is the best.

@michaelesparza93 Год назад

How did we not get Joe talking about his unforgettable performance as “Rudy,” friend of Lyle the Intern???

@thelettermanpodcast Год назад

How he didn’t win an Emmy for that riveting performance will never be understood.

@aslansown Год назад

That's what I was waiting for too!

@i.p.knightly149 Месяц назад

Lyle's posse lmao

@The-Secret-Door Год назад

I remember when he was on the show, as "himself", and was newly married. When Dave asked how it was going, he said "she doesn't like it when I talk about her on TV." Dave said something like "Things are off to a great start." Always remembered and still chuckle at that years later.

@thelettermanpodcast Год назад

Joe talks a bit about his wife during his appearance on our show. Clearly he, like our host, ‘married up.’

@webgraphr718 Год назад

Great to hear the behind-the-scenes stories from Joe Grossman. I remember watching all of these moments. It must have been amazing to grow up watching a show and then have the opportunity to work on it. Thanks for sharing these stories Joe!

@thelettermanpodcast Год назад

If you enjoyed these, pop next door to our channel, Joe came on for a massive two parter and told more stories, including how he got the gig.

@WalterDiamond Год назад

David Stern walking out backwards is genius!

@maxjanssen9616 Год назад

It nearly killed me, I laughed so hard

@daveanderson7304 Год назад

That is also solid, old-school defense!

@prmaninla 6 месяцев назад

The beauty of it is they could have just flipped the image and it would have looked like him walking to the left... but having him back out was soooooooo much better.

@davewestner Год назад

I love these. Hope there's enough employees to keep this series running for a long time. And when everyone's been covered, start over!

@thelettermanpodcast Год назад

Yes! And there’s even enough for leeches to crest sub standard unofficial shows that do the same thing. Wait a minute…

@DrVVVinK Год назад

We haven't gotten Rob Burnett yet. Pat Farmer, the other band members. I also wonder what moments Alan would have had, he had so many.

@thelettermanpodcast Год назад

@@DrVVVinK total agreement. We just recorded an episode of our show with Jason Zinoman (author of Letterman: The Last Giant of Late Night) and he brought up such a good point: the tapestry of Letterman is so big that every one of these people could easily have multiple segments. Hopefully this official channel, and ones like ours attract an audience for decades, as there is enough material and insights to run indefinitely.

@DrVVVinK Год назад

@@thelettermanpodcast I would love to even hear from people of Ed, the writers, actors (which I count as part of that tapestry).

@bwuh Год назад

Don't ever stop making these - what a gift.

@thelettermanpodcast Год назад

Yes! More urine jokes!

@SnootchieBootchies Год назад

I agree. I hope they make one of these with Chris Elliott. And when you run out of writers and producers to recount memories of the Late Show, I hope they talk with the folks who had smaller recurring roles on the show, like Pat Farmer or the grinder girl or the guy who kept beating up Alan Kalter. Fans can't get enough of this stuff!

@bwuh Год назад

@@SnootchieBootchies Agree!

@The-Secret-Door Год назад

I laughed very hard. Loved Joe's appearances on the show. Godspeed, sir!

@thelettermanpodcast Год назад

You might like Joe’s appearance’s on our show as well. After all, like they say, more Grossman is not gross, man!

@The-Secret-Door Год назад

@@thelettermanpodcast Oh yeah, for sure! I heard about your show and am definitely going to watch!

@thelettermanpodcast Год назад

@@The-Secret-Door Excellent. Keep your expectations to a record low, and you’ll be just fine.

@Mo_Taser Год назад

Joe appears to be a bit of a paradox. A serious looking guy who writes comedy.

@PlasticGoldSyndrome Год назад

Yay, I’ve been looking forward to seeing one of these with Joe ever since the videos started. Didn’t disappoint!

@thelettermanpodcast Год назад

You might enjoy his two episodes on our show. Keep your expectations low, and you’ll be just fine.

@jeremymcinturff985 Год назад

David Stern walking off the stage backwards tickled my funny bone.

@rocketreindeer Год назад

Hilarious! One of those few guys who's funny in presence, whether or not he opens his mouth.

@TheRiehlthing Год назад

Joe Grossman was always my favorite! ❤😂

@omeolife1 Год назад

CBS affiliate of the night is so funny

@randall-king Год назад

Yes, that and the monkey were the funniest to me. These videos are terrific.

@cynthiamason4069 Год назад

Oh, and HOLY MOLY! When you got to CBS Affiliate of the night....I was thinking you would NEVER pick the TV station where I grew up...my dad began work at KOIN TV in 1953 and retired in the 80s.

@t23001 Год назад

Joe, You’re a brilliant writer and actor!

@thefunshow2024 Год назад

Before I watch even a second of this video, I just want everybody to know, that this weekend I’m seeing a play in a basement if anyone wants to join

@mrb6309 Год назад

Who is Joe writing for these days?

@tomokra Год назад

the optometrist joke is almost mitch hedgberg ...

@ddburrows988 Год назад

That had several laugh-out-loud moments.

@ronniechilds2002 Год назад

Thank you, sir, for your contributions to the show that kept me laughing for decades. And you're right, you've got a good face for that deadpan stuff. Do you have a soul?

@hinthegroove9740 Год назад

As it turned out, my sense of humor is strange too. Love this one!

@thelettermanpodcast Год назад

Ours too. Thank goodness.

@markdamico4608 Год назад

not even Letterman has ever had Harrison Ford mimic him. Very cool.

@ronsandlin9618 Год назад

What a great segment. He came into my life as Rudy, Lyle’s friend.

@capybara1502 Год назад

Laughed out loud - at work - several times. Great stuff

@XantroyX Год назад

I like that orange carpet.

@cynthiamason4069 Год назад

Yes, Joe, that Jackie Gleason joke is a gem!

@NoellaScott Год назад

It's hilarious how Joe mentions you have to find the right joke to hit Dave's target of interest as he worked on the end of the Late Show. It's the same thing Chris Elliott always said at the beginning of Late Night - if you made Dave laugh, you were going to be on.

I hope they also invite disgruntled employees to do these videos! If I was a disgruntled employee, I would show all the bad bits of Dave, like when he farted on camera! Or something!

RUDY! Rude boy!

@RichardHandal301 Год назад

DYING.

@martinrev8487 9 месяцев назад

Love the share, but you must credit Chris Elliot for the "urine" bit. Dog food, cooking oil, etc. Elliot was the pioneer. Cool to keep the gag going, but please cite your sources.

5:45 This is really pretty appalling, a workplace where people are afraid to speak if the boss is in the room. How did that aura develop on a comedy show?
