Staff Favorite Moments: Writers Eric And Justin Stangel | Letterman 

I hope this channel never runs out of staff members and their (continuing) contributions to the greatest late night show in history.

Man, these guys are national treasures. I have been watching Dave since the 80's and these clips were some of the strongest and funniest years I can recall! My girlfriend and I loved the Lyle character. Jimmy Simpson is awesome, haha. I wish there was a way to watch all of the original shows in their entirety. I'd gladly buy a collection like that.

This is one of the best of these clips moments.

I love the shade toward Jay Leno. "His disguise isn't wearing denim."🤣🤣

Thanks, Stangel Brothers. Silver medal well deserved

Wow... this is very therapeutic...

"Bring an easy friend for dingus over here." 😅

Lyle the Intern is is one of the best characters ever conceived and performed. Jimmi Simpson is brilliant. I would have enjoyed seeing his "posse" again, too.

Always love the staff favorites! I laughed, I learned...I might have even cried a little.

Many thanks for Lyle- to you both- and Jimmi. Teamwork makes the dream work, Jessica Tandy. I can’t tell you how much joy Lyle brought me.

Kissinger telling the guy “You have the most difficult job” cracked me up😂

Wonderful to hear from these guys! Thank you, gentlemen; many thanks, and thank you again.

These videos are hilarious. Keep them going.

This is so great, thanks Stangels!

I sooo love the writer stories..thanks 🤣

2:00 I absolutely love that the lady leaves the boy alone with the deranged stranger after she is too creeped out to stick around.

I loved the Rupert G segments! All of these moments you shared here crack me up!

“Deep smokers’ voice” - Kenny?

Dave's staff is amazing! So bright and likable!

All great moments. Seeing Lyle come out on the show was exciting. You could tell Dave loved it

That was another good one. "People don't like me." 😂

Thank you Stangels! The therapy goes both ways!

Great stories!

I miss Dave Letterman Late Night Shows!

Best. Late. Night. Show!

The Fact that watching this in Australia a KP10 head lice Ad ran in the middle of this is hilarious.

David’s version of heaven! You boys catch up more!! ❤️❤️ I remember ALL of these!!

The second juystin said, "people don't like me" ...i fell in love and cannot stop laughing...i get it ❤😂

Letterman was the last of the late night greats.

Lyle the intern is my favorite character of all time! I literally didn't realise there were so many sketches with Lyle. And wow... I think my brain categorized him as an SNL character!?! It's great to see this and realise where this Lyle character is actually from and the history. OMG I was rolling over laughing!😘

The genius behind “Opie Radio” 😂😂😂😂😂

I love the silver thing. Playing jokes on people that we never knew about. Dave is great.

I hope you never run out of staff to do these videos.

Why these two guys never got their own show I'll never know. They've got great on screen character.

Lyle the intern is maybe my favorite letterman bit

Once again, there is no OFF position to the genius switch. 💡🎷🎺🎹🎸🥁👌

Now, please do an hour of this. Please !!!!

Not wearing denim! roflmao

If life ever handed me the opportunity to let Kenny Sheehan work over Leno, I don't think I could have turned that down.

0:18 "People don't like me." Same bro. Same.

Gentleman, thank you.

Thank you. Rupert G was so great. Loved Dave’s Mom.

AH HA HA, this was so great. These guys are naturally just funny sitting there talking. I had a feeling Lyle improv'd a lot of his unpredictable left turn relaxed weird sh**. Hilarious stuff.

I'll never understand why Apple went with Siri and not Kissinger. Their loss.

Lyle was one of my favorite bits

Wow. Hilarious. Off the chart.

Maybe give us some back story on why you guys haven't "connected", or whatever? That would be nice.

That is wonderful!

These were awesome.

You guys should have put a hockey helmet on Rupert for the Halloween prank 😂

I hope they post the full version of the Henry Kissinger bit :D

Glad you guys had such a laugh riot with that war criminal Kissinger

These are so great

Dave’s Leno impression is on point!

Trick or treat some hair montages🤣 Love Rupert

I grew up throughout all of the 80’s and 90’s watching Dave. I even had a cake for my high school graduation open house with a caricature of him with my own made up top 10 list, and when to college for film and television production. But I never have lived in NYC, and have just been there about 4 times. This past time though in 2022, I saw a taping of Colbert in the Ed Sullivan theater. A few days later, we stopped by the Hello Deli on 53, had a sandwich, and met Rupert Jee. My girlfriend didn’t grow up with the show, so it was sort of lost on her other than the food, but it was absolutely surreal to me, having seen him on so many of Dave’s remotes over the years. He was a very friendly guy. But I tried not to seem like I was pestering him too long, because I’m sure he’s had lots of people coming in annoying him.

Jimmi Simpson crushes it on it's always sunny and letterman... he just tried to push it on letterman and had to scale it down from his mcpoyle character

I remembered Jimmi Simpson from a small part he had in David Fincher's excellent Zodiac. He played one of the Zodiac's only survivors, and he's in only a couple of scenes, but he's great.

These are really cool!

We need some "What's Hal Wearing" clips!

I love that Jay winning in ratings triggers all the losers.

Lyle the intern talks like Deadpool.

Is it too late to get Lyle the Intern his own show?

Some would call Eric and Justin's fine work 'brilliant,' and it certainly is. I'll just call it 'boffo!'

Lyle the intern surprised me in David Fincher's movie ZODIAC .

I wouldn't have put it past Leno to sneak in and steal secrets from the show.

Best

SUPERIOR!!!

I read that the only one who didn't want to do a Super Bowl spot that included Jay, Dave, and Conan . . . was Conan. I think he made a mistake saying no because it's become a legendary ad.

I'll never understand why Rupert didn't get his ass kicked a hundred times.

THESE guys! *plays Kid Rock's "Cowboy"*

Is this Smigel and a live action Triumph?

Ira and Barry Shalowitz...my two favorite City Slickers characters. Who knew they wrote for Dave?

Lyle the intern was just hilarious. Check the don'z channel for a collection of all his appearances

To be fair to that crew guy, Leno had a habit of sneaking around and hiding in closets to steal state secrets

I know the “People don’t like me” line was likely a joke but I felt that like cuz you guessed it, no one likes me

Hilarious

I want to know how the RV got dented!

😊

Lyle was basically Conan 😅

Rupert was the best thing about that show.

Dave is a maniac. Why did he retire?

With all the range he has as a dramatic actor, comedian, improvisor, you'd think Jimmi Simpson could get roles besides just being the evil manipulative sociopath with all the head games.

I couldn't stand "Lyle the intern" He was essentially playing a sociopath or worse. Ick.

Kissinger should have been tried for war crimes. He has blood in his hands. Otherwise, very funny guys. I love these videos

Jimmi Simpson, come on, Scarjo's brother, right?

These two guys look like actors in a before and after video on the dangers of plutonium exposure.

I am glad to have bought a Swedish car.

Dave clearly never outgrew that little boy who enjoyed annoying grownups, especially the conservative and respectable ones. Or tried to get them to do silly things, like Kissinger.

was it a joke? really? thanks guys!~

So this where Ellen got most of her ideas?

That’s a really big head

Great content. Just have to say, I don't care for those 'Lyle' skits too much. I like the actor well enough but they just try too hard I feel. Just my opinion.
