Welcome to the Letterman KZbin 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. These highlights have been artisanly-produced, carefully-curated, and chosen completely at random by an old computer that used to pick numbers for the New York Lotto back in the 90’s.

He knew the right people. How he ever survived this is astounding

[@dustinprewitt]

oh, he's that guy people hate when he makes them angry & sad, then love when he makes people they hate angry & sad.

[@louspowels7120]

the self-soothing clap/hand rubbing is just obnoxious

[@slappyhappy6192]

This was the comedy boom where a guy could not be funny at all but handsome and make a good living

[@rosasalinas6579]

The clapping

[@spiritualED]

I remember years back and channel surfing and seeing Bill show up in an episode of Alice. Alice! Can you believe that? I think he played a cop. I guess those were the salad days. 😁

[@robinblackmoor8732]

It is amazing a guy who is this bad at being funny had a career in comedy.

[@Danimal77]

The constant slapping of the hands was distracting.

[@lsweed]

even then-clapping his hands repeatedly...

[@pawpawdiablo313]

He still has the nervous hands during his monologues

[@MikeChimeri]

I'm surprised the Letterman channel didn't post any videos over the weekend. I guess we needed time to appreciate early Bill Maher. I appreciated him Friday evening.

[@JSmith-gg4yh]

What’s with all the hand clapping? I’m glad he got some better writers.

[@wakeupbell2491]

Wow. Some of the lamest stand up I have ever seen. Maher's jokes and delivery have come a LONG way since then.

[@rafalkaminski6389]

Claps are too loud 😂

[@whiskersb5296]

Started a little rough.

[@jerzeyguy71]

I know this is early on in his career, and comedy as it is today, wasnt as popular for people to enjoy, but the crowd did not seem into him, and I do love him today, Im not a hater..

[@staffordinfection]

Hands down, the least funny thing I have ever watched.

[@andrewcanella]

Some Seinfeld vibes here from Maher

[@dragonfly4484]

Even then, he appeared pompous and arrogant

[@KenshinIV]

Bill Maher HAS had an easy life, and he seems intent to make sure no one else does.
