Dave's Audience Fish Cleaning Night With Mariel Hemingway | Letterman

[@jacoscofield5150]

This is hilarious no one would have done this. Love you Dave !!!

[@mandoluva]

Mariel's work with these fish is pretty impressive!

[@cisium1184]

Well, she _is_ a Hemingway.

[@michaelparks6120]

That is quite the Hair Helmut Dave is sporting here ! 😆

[@petrolbokehlicious]

Mariel here is as cute as ever. Not surprised to see that she really knows her way around fish entrails.

[@BigTunaTim76]

The bit was ambitious and dead on arrival with the audience but Dave never stopped fighting. Love these early clips.

[@mibeatleman6767]

I've got a feeling David did this for the halibut.

[@jazzjokesjalopies]

Not haircut night, that’s tomorrow

[@gfy69]

no time for boning on THAT show?!?! Yeah right...😂😂🤣😂

[@kstepko]

I‘m being entertained AND I‘m learning.

[@jdj830]

Somehow I think her grandfather would be proud.

[@keithbeck2300]

Great clip but I couldn't get over Dave's hair lol.

[@gersonkphone]

you know, the phrase "ahead of its time" gets thrown around a lot....

[@johndavis3921]

NBC must bring back this tradition. I can just see Jimmy Fallon.

[@margaritakmp]

I was thinking the same thing, make The Roots race to see who can gut a fish the fastest

[@HeyMySock]

For some reason fish cleaning doesn't show up on Mariel's Wikipedia page.

[@kerryrobinson9947]

This whole studio smells like fish. That's what he said. 😱👀😱

[@ClockwiseCat]

Dave-fro

[@jedijones]

Mariel went from cleaning fish to starring as a Playboy bunny in just a few months.

[@michaelblanchette2787]

Very pretty, she could be in movies!

[@privatehand]

What. The. Hell? (I checked. Mariel is still with us.)

[@RichardHandal301]

Never saw this. Can’t watch the gutting, so I’m not seeing it now, either.

[@pearlejam7115]

Was this before standards and practices? Lolz hilarious but gross 😝
