Dave's Summer Fun Tour of Coney Island | Letterman

[@lorip.1110]

Swan and the Warriors bopping their way back to Coney Island is another part of the area's rich history. Come out to plaaay!

[@GolfAfter50]

Amazing time capsule back to NYC in the 80s -- incredible to see it again! And Dave and Paul in top form as usual! Thx for posting this!

[@cefinau]

3:30 this suddenly reminded me, a friend of mine reread Dante’s Inferno in middle age, and when I mentioned I had never read it, he gave me his copy... Which I put on my shelf for the last three years. Now I have got it out and I will read it. Well I was not expecting that inspiration from David Letterman. I will report back when I have finished

[@teddyray8597]

Good grief...1982...I was 4 years old. This is one of the reasons I love this channel: it allows me to see all this early classic Letterman goodness I've never seen before.

[@jamesdaniels3699]

I was 20

[@SaintMartins]

I was 11 but didn't start watching until 1986 during the summer school break when i could stay up late.

[@Qboro66]

I was 15, going on 16 years old, and did see this when it first aired... I met Paul Schaeffer in a midtown pizzeria back in 1986...(W.48th & 7th ave) He ordered a slice with mushrooms and gave me an autograph that said "YEAH!~Paul Schaeffer" And told me to tune in that night, and that the musical guest was George Clinton... Very nice guy...

[@jamesdaniels3699]

Thank you KZbin for the memories of Dave and Paul ❤️

[@joeschmo2693]

Dave was as cutting edge and hip as CI back in '82, and this is proof. Add the song stylings of the young, personable & always happening Mr. Paul Schaefer and it's easy to see why Late Night captured the heart of young America.

[@SuperKazmierski]

This is fantastic. I would love it if Dave and Paul did a travel show.

[@m1t2a1]

We got to travel to the Briggs & Stratton building to see Meg Parsont across the road.

[@gluecement]

I rode Dante's Infernal in the late 90s and got my GED when I exited the ride.

[@jenniferpetti859]

I remember when I was a kid in the late 70’s I was in the Spook-a -Rama and it broke down. Lol. We had to walk thru the dark to get out. Coney Island wasn’t Disneyworld but I had the best times and memories there.

[@alexalex13131]

Next to the Wonder Wheel.

[@erik_griswold]

Thanks to the Donz for this. Always the best line regarding Dante’s Inferno, “which was better the book or the ride?” And the lady’s reaction at 4:30 is priceless.

[@lastangelman]

All this and Paul Schaeffer, too! Coney Island heaven, indeed!

[@KungEMuller]

This is pretty amazing. A summer remote with some help from Paul?? Bonus points for you, Dave!

[@siriuzbiz]

classic Dave! Good times 😆

[@ruthecker399]

dave king of late night

[@thenostalgicpodblast]

Remember in 1984 when Dave prank called a NYC PAY PHONE? No one would answer the ringing telephone except a guy named ANTHONY whom Dave invited up to the studio. Anthony was drinking beer from a straw! Haha! Loved that moment & that improvised guest.

[@TTM9691]

A 13-minute bit without a commercial break, unbelievable. Those days are definitely gone!

[@lisar3944]

NY in the 80s...my place...my people...my heart.

[@somejackball]

i occasionally eat here, but i don't make a habit of it 😁😅

[@gccguy77]

awesome, several lines to this day i use are from this segment, lol... ...it's a good kind of tired.... awesome!

[@Andrew-Antioch-Kim]

Dave for president!

[@LIE11Bldg7]

Everyone's having such a great time, even Paul

[@martasatgo]

Oh boy the children dancing in the background, and Paul on the ride with the two middle-age women. 🤣

[@MattTee1975]

RIP, Coney Island 🙏

[@robinr.berardini4792]

Oh David so brave doing these interviews 😂👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 More More please!!

[@_PrimetimePranks]

Paul = national treasure.

[@WKRPinCINN]

I would pay anything to go back to this time at Coney.

[@thefarsidefanthefarsidefan7374]

No you wouldn't. Coney Island was seedy back then. A much more cleaner better place today. More family and tourist friendly today also.

[@WKRPinCINN]

@@thefarsidefanthefarsidefan7374 - Your right. I forgot you know me better than I know myself.

[@jimg7423]

Great quality clip. Very clean

[@TTM9691]

The audience didn't get the joke but I burst out laughing at the idea that Coney Island was in consideration to host the Olympics.🤣

[@random22026]

3:30 A brace of coneys? Anyone? XD A total time capsule: '82!

[@ForbinColossus]

*Funny how the early '80s still looked like the 1970s*

[@patriciamorgan6545]

Should have saved this one for 4th of July.🌭🌭🌭

[@deputay]

3:22 I lost it! Solid gold

[@lindatheheathen]

Bermuda!! 🎶

“A lot of people are saying disco is dead. I think this proves it.”

[@davidlunalozano1074]

That Coney is another Coney,best than actual.

[@wrennewman6868]

75 cents to take the subway to Coney Island back in 82.

[@michaelparks6120]

Nothing so hip and witty has been on tv before or since this show.

[@byray2249]

I want Paul’s sunglasses!

[@floydfinder]

"Where else would Batman be, but...the toilets."

[@douglasjohnson4382]

The "Rock and Roll" was later renamed the "Break Dancer."

[@vrvaughn]

Uh oh… Did Coney Island die?

[@mannybravo237]

Oh, boy😅 the gyrating generation! WhoopWhoop!

[@tomryan4968]

“The public is gy-RATING…”

[@British_Dragon-4K-Simulations]

Those dancers would be Twerking if it was in 2023...

[@PatriotsVideos]

I understand back in 1982 you had to fill 4 or 5 hours of show every week so of course you'd air this long segment you produced but why would you show this now when you don't have to? Least funniest Letterman segment ever. Pre-Chris Elliot days I guess?

[@bodyslamhimjeff]

I wonder if the guy at 3:00 inspired some Eugene Levy characters
