And if you see the doc done about them by actor Michael Rappaport you will find out the Phif did this performance with a high diabetes count, hence the slow movement and slurred speech, They flew from NY to do the Dennis Miller show in LA the next night and Phif could not perform, Check out the doc on a Tirbe Called Quest.

Never been repeated as genuine as it was back then with Letterman + Paul and the band.. The interaction and integration alone was phenomenal... Let alone Paul's quick wit hovering not so far from Dave's, ultimately complementing/ combining to be the experience that it was... They sat above the corny basic shit they had to say/pervay... Norm Macdonald highlights Dave's high level intellect, while portraying the everyday man approach to comedy and is beyond spot on... Never gained intellectual/vocabulary knowledge from any other late show host within the hijinks other than from Dave... Quisling being a standout, then Norm's ability to play the everyman in return while pretending not to understand is a late night reverse/faux level of intellectual back n forth that I truly believe will never be surpassed in these BS times.. Also Norm n Conan n Craig are amazing but different levels comparatively with the pretend to be dumb for relatability sake approach due to unrelatable levels of intelligence... Genius!
