Classic Dave - Sandra Bernhard on Late Night with David Letterman 27 Nov 1987

[@dxmxo9427]

Sandra's style so ahead of her time

[@trschaefer]

She was so very cool in the 1980s-90s!

[@fifthbusiness1678]

And in the ‘70s (from ‘74 on)!

[@MrAliquippawill1]

Sandra was actually a brilliant comedic writer in her day......one of the original sketch writers and actors on the Richard Pryor show in the late 70's. My feeling is: If someone of Richard's stature thought enough of this woman to include her in his career......her talent speaks for itself.

[@mulemule]

Thank you for highlighting this (I'd no idea she worked for/with Pryor).

[@pauldalnoky6055]

All she does is curse and name drop. She hasn't come up with anything close to funny

[@pam0626]

She’s so innately stylish. She just has it.

[@davejoseph8578]

We are allowed to exist in her universe....Sandra is the glue that reminds us to be spontaneous...to enjoy life...do what we really want to do...to simutaneously unhinged and emotionally vulnerable...A bright burning star...

[@diamonddave16]

Hilarious. Sandra’s Grand entrances were never dull.

[@dominicportelli7468]

Hi-bloody-larious!

[@AngelsTakeMe2Heaven]

David Sanborn and Ron Wood sitting in with the band

[@dpfrance]

HUGE DEAL!

[@Devilis29]

Thank you. We need more :)

[@melting]

Love the Suzanne Vega joke at 8:54

[@comicactor]

she is so damn funny

[@dominicportelli7468]

Was that Ron Wood???

[@excitationz]

Is that Ron Wood at the intro? Nice.

[@RoxyRollerification]

@chris4umiami I know I have more, but not sure if I have anything else which hasn't been uploaded by others. I'll upload them if I come across any though!

[@SamAdamsDesigns]

LOL she is so hilarious.

[@milart12]

Wow exactly 30 years ago

[@deadsetmassascared]

Im def gonna rock that look.

[@2700Laguna]

this was recorded on my eighth birthday

[@lasonn4127]

supercute. nice to be young and impetuous.

[@MG8181.]

Hahaha. My name is Luka. I live on the second floor. I love that song!!!!

[@joesimon2029]

3:46 Whatever happened to Shelly Hack? Dude: you were in King of Comedy with her!

[@tmgarant]

I use to have a crush on her when I saw her on the show. I was like 14 at the time. I didn't realize how tall she was till I saw this video.

[@tommyt1971]

They always had a cool and sardonic rapport.

[@MadWeiner]

I met her at JFK in 2001

[@mulemule]

*And* ... ?!

[@MadWeiner]

@@mulemule She signed her autograph with a special note that showed her brilliant ,quick wit.

[@matthew3alex]

I believe I remember her playing that waitress at the Don't Drop Inn diner from the Sesame Street film, "Follow That Bird."

[@matthew3alex]

Yes, from a long time ago.

[@wylierichardson-tu6zs]

A memorable early film role was in Scorsese's "King of Comedy". She improvised much of her scene with a kidnaped Jerry Lewis, it's first-class cinema.

[@hansolo1345]

Dave's object of affection

[@codeblue2532]

…with T. Garr

[@pretorious700]

I love the way she just didn't give s fuck.

[@BrionyMinodora]

+ShaneKarma376 hey who told you about that

[@ShaneKarma376]

09001 9 The kids, little snitches.

[@stevet2543]

Where did Sandra go?

[@JRLOC]

She raised a kid but she’s still around, not as funny as back in the day though.

[@mangore623]

She’s 68, and the spark died years and years ago.

[@tommyt1971]

Always expected that she was from NY but she's from Flint MI.

[@andrewsandoz8005]

What happened to her?

[@c.t.4837]

David SUCKS. He was so rude to her and Sandra is such a pro that she rolled with it ❤

[@TheMarcin4411]

What the fuck is Ronnie Wood doing there xD

[@Luvie1980]

Who's the saxophone player?

[@helgenx]

@AngelsTakeMe2Heaven i fucking agree with this.

[@RoxyRollerification]

They either had to edit something out for content or time constraints and re-inserted that goofy shot of Dave.

[@ErikRobles126]

She mad Dave feel like shit inside

[@elvispresley718]

so butch!

[@BrionyMinodora]

this second interview of bernhard compared to the hilarious '85 one shows: people like this have to be entertaining and fun and wild and unexpected (like 1985 interview) bc as shown in this interview, once they actually get talking serious u see they are not only boring but unlikeable unintelligent, and just not good people

[@JRLOC]

It’s called comedy.

[@mulemule]

Apparently applies to "KZbin" critics as well.
