Taped the week before, on May 2. The following week (the week this aired) Dave and some of the Late Night staff were in Los Angeles preparing remotes for the show's week-long broadcasts there, beginning May 13.
The Viewer Mail here is preceded by around five minutes of chatter concerning the upcoming L.A. trip. The Viewer Mail segment itself features Merrill Markoe, Gerard Mulligan, Chris Elliott, Al Frisch, Marie O'Donnell, and Hal Gurnee and everyone else in the control room.

This era was golden. He was at the top of his game here. Everything was perfect.

Dave was epitome of Freeform. Late night at it’s finest.

I actually like that dave just introduces paul and we gets claps not always music... hence the 2-in-1 sidekick/bandleader lol Paul does a great job as double duty...sometimes his comments being so far away make them funnier because they really feel out of nowhere as opposed to a guy sitting beside him.

So Howard is the controller of the sound effects(breaking glass, screaming lady, etc.). I really always thought it was Paul on the keyboard making the sounds. You learn something new every time you watch a Don video.

Padraig Glennon I put up a Vinitsky collection elsewhere. Away from the computer so I can't post the link here. Search for "Hope Vinitsky on Late Night, 1982-86."

I never realised how funny this guy used to be until I started watching these videos yesterday...I've been up in these studios, and I think part of the reason this series seems so funny is this studio is so, relatively, small...and also the audience is above him...which makes this series come across as somehow personal, like everyone there (the audience, the crew, etc) is in on some kind of joke, together...and he's not, literally or figuratively, above them....the show he did in the big theatre that of course he's known for today had just the opposite feel...he was some famous guy up on a stage, cut off from his lowly (figuratively and literally) audience...and I don't think I ever found anything on that show funny, except maybe Jennifer Lawrence occasionally...I thought that show could even make Johnny Depp seem uncool...hmm...

Yeah...84 to 86 was Letterman’s peak. I think the problem with the CBS show was it at 11:30 instead of 12:30. There had to be tremendous freedom at 12:30 because it is mostly college kids and people taping your show on a VCR as your audience. At 11:30 you had to be sure not to frighten middle America. So no monkey cam or man under the stairs. You become boring-like Carson was.

I'd watch "Worth the Weight with Al Frisch"

this is was from December 30 1988 re-run!

@dongiller 2 года назад

It’s not; the December 30, 1988 repeat featured Dave commenting on the show throughout the hour. The upload here doesn’t have that. This upload comes from the original broadcast of May 9, 1985 (taped the week before on May 2).

@@brandongaming1049 As I so clearly noted in my reply. But, again, this was _not_ from the 12-30-88 repeat. What’s your point?

One of the reasons that they're "off" on Fridays is that 6A was being used for sports on the weekends most of the year.

@dongiller 8 лет назад

+wiedep Another reason is that the show taped four shows a week throughout its run, Mondays to Thursdays from 1982 until mid-'87, and then Tuesdays to Fridays from mid-'87 until its end in June '93.
