Dave Reflects On The One Year Anniversary Of 9/11 | Letterman

[@TimothyATaylor]

There will never be anyone who does late night like Letterman. He loved NYC and it loved him right back!

[@DurkMcGerk]

The city so nice they named it twice

[@leebrock4783]

Exactly 💯 . Except that cab driver 😊.

[@chrisarseneault5617]

Carson started in New York City. And loved the city.

[@ianhowarth2656]

Could this be any more cheesy?

[@Aaliyahchannel2024]

Correct....Colbert is in the same Ed Sullivan theatre. In new York...but he doesn't feel like he's part of the city. Letterman did.... Also Colbert just uses his show to cry snout trump every day

[@theritchie2173]

Dave getting it exactly right as always.

Everything right except grabbing a dog by the face and chattering face to face. #4 gum.. ya want some gum?

That exclamation point seems a little unnecessary.

Loved. Late Night with Letterman. Got us through some of the worst of times like Jack Benny did for our folks. Laughter is the best cure for 😭

Same...but this is from Late Show with David letterman. Late Night ended in 93.

[@johncornell3665]

Dave you did an incredible job on such a difficult day in history. Thank you so much

[@marquisgt]

Dave couldn't respond to your comment, but he asked me to respond for him. Said "thank you", your approval means everything to him! 👍😊

[@StepUpMedia039]

The cool thing about Letterman is that all the big shot actors and other higher ups in the music and entertainment industry all spoke so highly of Dave and they all viewed him as a personal friend.

[@thechuckjosechannel.2702]

[@tomypreach]

Well, you forgot everything else.. so, good you'll try to remember something.

[@msdarby515]

I wish I could find the opening of the first show after 9-11. Dave nailed the feeling in NYC that night. I wanted to see it again.

[@daviddetling6325]

Cannot find a link to the first post-9/11 Late Show monologue... it really showed a rare, authentic, raw emotion... days after the attack... it's like it has been scrubbed from the Internet. Where can I find a link to this. It was really David Letterman at his best!

[@StepUpMedia039]

Dave was one of us. He made us fans all feel like we were part of the show and fellow New Yorkers.

[@michaeldonovan3959]

Thank you to David Letterman and The Late Show. I remember what a great source of comfort the show brought to New Yorkers during that dark time. And thank you for posting this remembrance.

[@kstepko]

That top ten list was particularly hilarious. Thank you to everyone to wrote those jokes in the hopes of making America laugh, especially as they themselves were commemorating a day filled with so much personal trauma and loss.

[@psychtc98]

Never forget

[@alexandertroy9621]

Forget what?

[@anthonyballard8468]

That not ONE F-16 was scrambled while our gov watched two planes fly magestically to their targets.

[@ronflatter1235]

The fact that we cannot see Dave’s original monologue from his first broadcast after the attacks is a crime of its own kind. Not even close to the scale of what happened 22 years ago today, but a crime nonetheless. Who is responsible for our not being able to see this anymore?

[@escapemac]

Letterman's own people most likely had it removed.

[@ClockwiseCat]

@@escapemac But why?

[@teddygrammm]

it's still on dailymotion. anytime something disappears from youtube i always check dailymotion and a lot of times it's there

[@teddygrammm]

also it might have something to do with the effusive praise of giuliani (the only part of that monologue that didn't age too well, IMO). i want to say that the last version of it i saw on youtube had that part very conspicuously edited out, even

On the 1st anniversary, my husband and I flew on American Airlines into NYC. I will never ever forget

[@markyncole]

Hey Dave...Both you and your show are awesome.

[@WhoCares-j6b]

If anyone reads this, I understand that Dave is a humble man, but I beg you to share his entire speech that he gave on September 17,2001. It meant alot not just to me but alot of other people in the United States. I was serving aboard the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON CVN 73 and we were first to arrive in the harbor that day to defend, unfortunately we were there too late. We tended to the wounded aboard the medical ship, and being there that day is the proudest moment of my life as well as the most impotent moment. I wanted to do more than hand out water and blankets, but that's what I did. I am moved to tears however, anytime I am telling friends who missed Dave's words that night.

[@steveleeart]

I remember watching this the night it aired.

[@tomconnors8165]

RIP 9/11

[@alexandertroy9621]

That's pretty funny.

[@nick56677]

Can you upload the September 17 2001 monologue where Dave is talking about the events of 9/11? Idk why it can't be found anymore. It's of historical significance.

[@DTR89]

The Letterman KZbin channel famously uploads when the person has died. In this case, many!

[@musicman76enator]

Thank you for sharing this. Hard to believe it's been 22 years since the tragedies. May the victims and the police, firefighters, and EMT's we lost Rest in Peace. On a side note, do you have Dave's Speech from right after 9/11? The date on it should be September 17 2001. It used to be on KZbin but now I can't find it.

[@marquisgt]

I have it on VHS tape, but it's in a safe deposit box at my bank. I'll try to get it to you tomorrow! My mother has surgery in the morning, but I should be able to get someone else to drive her! 👍

Bin Laden was determined to bring those towers down. Well, he's fish food and he's NOT a martyr. ♥️🇺🇸

[@alexandertroy9621]

Wow... That is so sad.

[@morbidmanmusic]

Yet he succeeded. Or did he.?

[@allendracabal0819]

I always thought it was strange how terrorists viewed the World Trade Center towers as a symbol of America's financial might. I never saw them that way at all. Perhaps Wall Street or the NYSE, but not the WTC.

[@lexi45735]

Where do I find this full video?

[@xellestar]

Wait where are the actual shows from when it happened? why have they been taken down?

[@jfuzz9083]

Dave and Jay both followed the pattern of their predecessors ... which ever you liked best, they were both class acts. The present crop don't know what they are doing behind a desk ... late night died when Dave left.

[@Theboozehound-j9i]

Love this guy. The hosts now can not hold a Candle to him or Johnny Carson.

[@tobiaswilliamson00]

It was only the right thing that on the Monday after the attacks, September 17th, that David Letterman returned first as the adult in the room before other late night hosts returned the next day on September 18th.
