Dave & Paul Are The Menendez Brothers | David Letterman

[@billscheftyoutube]

Hi everybody, it's Bill Scheft. Normally, I refrain from weighing, but I have two giggle-worthy inside memories of this runner, which I had nothing to do with, but love deeply. Memory #1: When Dave and Paul yell "Donny Osmonds!" instead of "Donny Osmond!" they are recreating a typo that had been in the cue cards during rehearsal. Even though the card was corrected, they still yelled "Donny Osmonds!" because it had gotten such a big laugh from everyone during rehearsal, including Donny. Memory #2: My sister Sally and her husband Jeff were visiting that day, and I had gotten them into music rehearsal. My sister Sally is THE NICEST PERSON IN THE WORLD. Never says anything bad about anyone. Because the Menendez pre-tapes ran long, music rehearsal started a little late, so Paul had no time to change out of his costume. He ran behind the B-3 still wearing the crew neck sweater and the horrible black wig. As soon as she saw him, my sister Sally nudged me and whispered, "Paul looks good. I like the new look...."

Quintessential Letterman skit. These clips make me miss watching this every night. We had it so good back then!

😄 Just the silliness I needed this morning. Thanks Dave & Paul. ❤

You mean that isn't real?

That freeze frame with Donnie Osmond as the warden was the highlight for me.

[@dhpbear2]

And Dave referred to him as 'Donny Osmonds', TWICE!

[@cindy-hz2xb]

Love Dave's sense of humor😂😂😂

[@MichelleUS66]

“Donny Osmond!” 😂 (The randomness of Donny Osmond turning up really gave me a good laugh!)

[@RonGerstein]

Paul had so much hair in the TV movie.

[@Fordham1969]

It seems pretty clear that the comedy here is not centered on the tragic situation itself but on the cheesy way in which television exploits these tragedies for entertainment purposes. But I'm curious to see how this comments section turns out considering that it's once again become a controversy after all these years.

[@RonGerstein]

You are drunk with power. IT IS A COMEDY BIT, YOU FOOL!

[@johncornell3665]

Such wonderful memories. Thanks Dave and Paul!

April 1994 Woe! Hello Dave 👋 Thanks for the Clips. Hey Larry Bud 😁 & Paul ✌️

[@kstepko]

True crime was the bread and butter of 90s late night comedy: Amy Fisher, Lorena Bobbit, OJ Simpson, the Melendez Brothers.

[@penguin44ca]

1994 was a terrible year of murder. I am thankful that at least 1 selfish woman did not get free. Never forget the Smith toddlers.

[@williamkirby8092]

She wanted to be on Dancing with the stars- I am not kidding

[@WaitingtoHit]

@@williamkirby8092 Maybe she's a talented dancer.

[@williamkirby8092]

[@KungEMuller]

Dave and Paul knew how bad the Melendez brothers were in the 90s. They did a great job.

[@mattkramer4132]

That looks like the extremely famous and highly regarded dramatic actor Peter Lassally as the judge at 4:35 🤣

[@allendracabal0819]

I thought that, too, but couldn't see him well enough to be sure.

[@robertpolityka8464]

Thanks for sharing

[@f00zh]

Thanks 4 showing the hole movie 🎬

[@nathanbabiuk6286]

RIP late night talk shows!! I have to watch old episodes on KZbin now!

[@GardenGirlD76]

Goofy fun at its best!!!!!

[@teddyray8597]

With that wig, Larry "Bud" Melman looks like Steve Higgins.

[@kstepko]

Barely.

[@kstepko]

The wig scene is even funnier now that we know that Lyle wore a hairpiece.

[@ds9908]

Barbara Gaines would have been funnier

[@Kathy420able]

I always loved Letterman, the best late night show host EVER, even better than Carson. 📺👑💓

[@LilAlpo1]

Agreed.

Meanwhile in 2024 the widespread belief they did it for the money has turned into abuse.
