By request. First, Paul's new project, Dave's speeding story, and an apology from Barbara Gaines. Then on to Viewer Mail, featuring Dave's publication covers; Tommy Casabona and ants; a Wheel of Fortune puzzle, with Darcy Hettrich, Brian McAloon and Sandra Furton; and Paul's "Avalanche Song," which he credits to writer David Yazbek.

Looking back on this, I realize that his experience telling the weather informed his sense of how to tell a story - the beats are perfect, and hilarious. Genuinely. Genius. Inspired. Singular.

@singlesideman 6 лет назад

At long last! One of my top five favorite Dave moments, Paul's 'Avalanche!' song! And there's no way that SNL could top this Wheel of Fortune send up, which they tried to do 29 years later. Nothing beats the real thing. Thanks again, Don!

You really saw how he coached Bill Murray in his Nick the Lounge Singer performances on SNL back in the day. Dave hardly ever walked over like that to shake his hand mid-show.

So much to love in just ten short minutes.

I enjoy the music of David Yazbek. Thanks.

I think this viewer mail bit comprises 75% of my pre-RU-vid memory of Late Night. I also just subscribed to your Patreon.

@SailorCallie 6 лет назад

That's a 100% legitimate Avengers comic book with David Letterman. Published during what was Assistant Editors' Month.

@dongiller 6 лет назад

Yeah; I have a copy. As well as the in-flight magazine. Also legit.

@billslocum9819 5 лет назад

@@dongiller What about "Steep"? You can't be a real fan unless you have that priceless rarity.

“Avalanche!” goes great with Paul”s other hit, “Bermuda.”

@dongiller 4 года назад

Here’s Paul’s “Bermuda” collection - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g_7TFKiWZY4.html

When I read "and an apology from Barbara" I immediately thought of the night before xmas.

Request ALERT - Please a Jeff Altman Late Night episode from 1990 or later Thank you

@singlesideman 6 лет назад

BTW, I think it was Tommy in the episode with the machine gun.

@dongiller 6 лет назад

That was Jimmy Fitzgerald who did all the "Technician's Corner" bits.

@WalterDiamond Год назад

I'm a bit late to this clip but does anyone recognize the drummer? Doesn't look at all like Anton and it's certainly NOT Steve Jordan.

@dongiller Год назад

That’s Alan Schwatzberg.

@WalterDiamond Год назад

@@dongiller That's who I thought it was but his name escaped me. Long-time New York session/live guy. Thanks!

@dongiller Год назад

You’re one of the very few who would even recognize the name. Salut. :)

@WalterDiamond Год назад

@@dongiller I just googled him and yup, it's Allan Schwartzberg alright. He was a bigtime session and live drummer, and had lots of endorsements and I remember him being in damn near every copy of Modern Drummer magazine from the early 80s/late 70s. I saw his name rather recently looking up the musicians used on "Taxi", and he was one of the drummers.
