Dorothy Letterman was such a sweet unassuming lady. Rest in peace, Dorothy Letterman. 🕯

[@lyrix28]

"kinny garden." Love it.

[@frankie3041]

This just made me smile more than anything I’ve seen on television for a very long time. Dave’s mum was a regular and she was a very good sport. Lovely lady. 👍👍

[@24JGM]

2:16 "Okay, Dave..." You can tell she had to say that a lot!

[@The_momur]

She was adorable.

[@debrajimison8308]

Got to meet her during a charity walk for the American Heart Association. What a sweetheart.

[@josephcote6120]

It was always great to have Dorothy on the show. She always gave as good as she got.

[@Jezza819]

So great seeing Dorothy again. I always loved the segments with Dave's mom. She was such a sweet person and so patient with all of Dave's antics but then again she had many years of practice at it. I also loved the yearly tradition right at Thanksgiving when Dave tried to guess the pies Dorothy had made. Then he would have her open up the refrigerator and it would be full of Colt 45's or something stupid like that. Made me laugh so hard.

I loved when Dave's mom appeared on the show. ❤Such good memories of this show.

Dave's mom was the best. Witty, extremely kind, so sweet. She always spoke to "David" with so much love. My personal favorite when Carson called her on the air and asked if David wishes for Carson to be hit by a truck so he can get the Tonight Show. And she replied to Carson: "Well yes, David talks about that frequently"😂 Dorothy Letterman was the mother we 'd all like to have.

[@jbrosenberg624]

That episode with Carson did not feature Dave's mom on the phone. It was an actress Carson hired to play Dave's mom for that bit. But I agree that Dave's mom was always great! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6vKiIFvhMehqKc

How we anticipated ANY TIME Dave's very funny mom would be on. Her demeanor always took center stage, no matter what her television job was. Easily #1 in top 10 moms!!

[@michaelreidperry3256]

Dave’s Mom is a rockstar!

[@000_x9]

God Bless her!

Best part of the Late Show

Good thing he used to be a weather guy.

[@rainerlovesjapan9468]

I missed her🥲

[@ArtificialBanana]

Was that really Indiana or a stage set? I could never be sure.

[@aslansown]

It's her own kitchen in Indiana

[@seanwebb605]

Shortly after this segment aired she started her new job on Ellen.

[@KateEdington]

Does anyone know the song that the band plays? It was in another Mother's Day segment from the Late Show. (Celebrity Moms)

[@brograb898]

He was 62.

[@randyzeitman1354]

Why would a talkshow band need two guitarists?

[@allendracabal0819]

All the better to rock you with.

[@danettegallaher8493]

🥰👏👏👏🙏🌸

[@grantsapain]

I love Dave's mom! Dave, not so much.

[@randyzeitman1354]

Why what a eight piece band need to guitarist?

[@erichaynes7502]

I know it's hard to believe but Dave didn't really like being around his mom.
