Dave Shaves Off His Beard | Letterman

[@robert4you]

_"Will you hold my hand, Diane?"_ That was smooth, Dave ☺

[@davemustaki134]

I love that Dave can keep his beard now and he's happy!!

[@kindabluejazz]

Only Dave could do 10 minutes of comedy gold on just a shave.

[@davemustaki134]

Well he did say it takes him 15-20 minutes lol

[@calsavestheworld]

I miss Rupert G.

[@elcheapo9444]

You must have a really, really great sense of humor to think Letterman is funny. Surely, you're that person who sees fun everywhere.

[@kindabluejazz]

@@elcheapo9444 Dave is one of the most honored entertainers in TV history - nominated for over 50 Emmys, winning over 10 times, as well receiving the Kennedy Center Honors and the Mark Twain Award for Humor. He got paid many millions to host a talk show for over 30 years. He's been praised as a comedy icon by the likes of Conan, Colbert, and Jon Stewart. Clearly you are the one on the outside.

[@TimothyATaylor]

Compared to his present beard, the old one was pretty tame.

[@roymunson1]

Bum fluff

[@cluelessbeats]

"crystal meth santa claus"

[@viddeojunke]

Yeah he looks like a bummed out talk show host out of work. lol 😂

[@T3glider]

Hard to believe he is homeless now!

[@MidnightV6]

@@T3gliderhe’s not homeless lol

[@kstepko]

I love that he amps up the drama of ‘saying goodbye to an old friend’.

[@Targemq8]

Paul chiming in with the Godfather waltz then sliding into Barber of Seville. 😂

[@R.Gresco]

One of the best moments in Letterman history. I remember watching it and laughing hysterically.

[@infowarriorone]

Same here.

[@SteveBrecht]

Dave took that ZZ Top one and filed it away in his memory for retirement.

[@gregraj]

Lolll that's exactly what I thought!! 😅

[@lesliebrickey8357]

I love Dave's sense of humor!

[@justinkoenig1706]

Diane was a treat. Lucky Dave! That look she gives at 9:27 🥰

[@louk231]

I know , right...She was a hot little firecracker !!

[@dylanshorrorchannel1378]

Do you guys know what she's up too today or who she is?

[@kstepko]

His wide eyed recoil when she turned on the clippers cracked me up! 6:58

[@kerryrobinson9947]

Dave's current look --- awesome. And when he wears a driving cap, dang! 👍🧔👀

[@jamesnclloh1236]

I like all the small details like the background piano or guitar that goes with each different photo. The impeccable quick close up of the camera when buzzing just started at 6:58.

[@MovieVigilante]

Dave, always with the razor-sharp wit.🪒

[@THX-C]

I saw what you did. lol

[@strangequark420]

David Letterman, you always made me laugh in a way that only you could make me laugh. Bravo, sir.

[@AnalogX64]

1:45 that picture came true he now looks like Dave as Santa 😁I'd like to see him clean shaven again.

[@amjh4lah809]

The irony on the 'ZZ Top' photo at 1:53 is not lost 😂

[@gregraj]

Yup! 😂

[@davidanderson8469]

Never babble when a barber is using a straight razor. We miss you Dave!

[@KenHenderson-n1c]

When I saw the title I thought "Finally!". Then I remembered he did this when he was still hosting "Late Show"......

[@Archerjr1]

'Will you hold my hand Diane?'

[@kstepko]

I was expecting better from professionals.

[@arthuralford]

In the end, Dave got the last laugh. Dave became Santa

[@westleywest7259]

I’m the guy who bought the beard "shavings" off eBay! Made a pretty penny off them afterwards… A pretty penny indeed!

[@crosswalklarry]

Good Story. 🤡

[@PIXPromosMore]

Dave's Beard: Endgame

[@kstepko]

I remember Will Ferrell shaving off Conan’s beard; turns out that Dave did it first - and better. Why am I not surprised? Dave is the OG!

[@martina5296]

Dave was/is a leader in comedy. Others just followed.

[@theqashow2942]

The only member of ZZ Top without a long beard? The drummer Frank Beard

[@random22026]

Dave's predilection for holding on to his facial fur in Present Day, now becomes abundantly clear: he wants to tell anyone who 'suggests' he shave, to take a be like good dandruff and flake off. Paul and the Band did wonders with the musical accompaniment: from the menace of The Godfather theme, to shave-and-a-haircut, two bits'. Mahvahlous.

[@S1L3NTG4M3R]

HI (knowing how he looks now... you know he wanted to keep that beard)... Dave!!!

[@benjaminniemczyk]

The Rossini in the background is a nice touch. Paul really knew his stuff.

[@jamesnclloh1236]

I miss Dave a lot more after watching this!

[@kbtube8125]

but the jimmies and that loser.

[@Deadinternetzero]

This length actually flatters Dave quite well.

[@1980bwc]

1:42 Literally Dave now. Lol

[@scottmacdonald4854]

Lookin' sharp Dave. My take is you look at least 10 years younger now (what was 2013 like for ya? :) ) I feel a little like I went into a time warp and the more vibrant, sharper, more alive Dave is back!

[@RichLunaMusic]

Those guys had to have patience. Dave is a wild animal!

[@toddkalbfeld]

Loosing the beard made you look 15 yrs younger. Great Job!!

[@MichaelLasotaMusic]

So Fallin keeps getting his 'ideas' from Dave. The true OG.

[@danielhoward8354]

lmao when dave says no, no then cracks a smile when he realizes what was said

[@prowlie]

The ZZ Top beard looks pretty accurate today

[@gongqi67]

JC! What this man did for a laugh. Getting cut up. Drinking fish sauce. Da beard!

[@kaspinet]

And just for a moment the blood is clotted 😂

[@KungEMuller]

Yes! Dave was the only guy who could get away with shaving on the air. Okay! Conan did it, too, but Dave is a legend.

[@magdalenav3]

I love you, Dave! 😂❤

[@greatfullded]

The shows that are on late night now.. is OK.. just OK.. but nothing will compare with Letterman... The Late Show will never be duplicated or nothing will come close.

[@uncool13]

Man, I never missed an episode of Late Night. When he moved to Late Show I started my new career and did not get home until after 1130pm missing all those shows.

[@ideasforu358]

This is a all time favourite of mine.

[@022171]

Dave opted for the ZZ Top.

[@calsavestheworld]

Spoiler: it grows back tenfold. Also he becomes more serious. But on-demand.

[@slaymakerc]

Little did they know that Dave would have a ZZ Top beard 12 years later

[@timseid1]

Time to do this again, Mr. Letterman! On a all new episode of the Barbara Gaines Show!!!

[@kstepko]

“Mind if I loosen my belt?” doesn’t go over so well today.

[@RalphOnofrio]

THE KING....After Carson,it was all Dave,,Great stuff.

[@ThymeKeeper]

When can we look forward to a repeat :)?

[@frankie3041]

Roberto is a perfect name for a barber, isn’t it?

[@martina5296]

Or Floyd.

[@gcapeletti]

Nice to see that Dave is going hard for the zz top look

[@THX-C]

Dave’s current beard is awesome. Retirement agrees with him but I’m glad he teamed up with Barbara.

[@Emmeth]

Dave as ZZ Top member is basically Dave now.

[@mdj1967]

I remember watching this bit, but today I was wondering if he was gonna drink the Barbicide. I guess the props guys couldn’t find a matching liquid in time for air. 😂

[@ruthecker399]

dave king of late night

[@WTFG78]

1:56 a short glimpse into the future.

[@yevaburshteyn6938]

What a surprise, David get rid of his beard.I thought that he's getting become Santa Clause.

[@siouxperirish]

Paul, you could have done barber of Seville 😂

[@helenkanakos7735]

Dave you look great.❤️🌹

[@aarons5724]

At about the 7:50 mark, Letterman looks like Buddy Ebsen.

[@PH-md8xp]

Miss watching Dave on late night.

[@billfletcher7602]

That beard looks like a 24 hour stubble compared to now?

[@markallen3293]

I am 62 and had a straight razor shave once. Talk about a close shave, amazing. But, one has to go to barber college to be allowed to give a straight razor shave.

[@jetsamperes5762]

So he just re-posted a Top 10 from the Writer's Strike of 2008. Timely indeed. Wondering what the meaning of posting this one is? Is Dave about to turn in his Santa union card?

[@gheller2261]

Did they do a search for the cutest barbers?

[@Dr.WRATHBONE]

I feel like Dave's just growing hair for both he and Paul. It looks good on you mister.

[@jeffreys-vu6gd]

I miss Dave so much☹️

[@RegularSlice1]

he definitely looks like ZZ Top!

[@senselessbabbledotcom]

Isnt there an episode (of Late Night) where Dave gets a shave from Enrique? That's a clip I would like to see!

[@sweiland75]

11:04 Who is making that sound?

[@horatiobeaker]

Just imagine, this woman has more state-mandated hours of training than is required of police officers in 90% of states.

[@martina5296]

Probably with mandatory continuing ed. to keep her license up to date. Not many women barbers, I hope she's doing well, as well as Roberto.

[@peterddb1593]

Darn. I was really hoping this was his current beard that was getting gone in this video. Maybe this clip will inspire him to get rid of his drunk Santa whiskers. Maybe??

[@user-fb1yt9ji4m]

Dave looks good clean shaven

[@guidoeehg1140]

He's ended up looking like ZZ Top now. I've had a beard since my early twenties... think of all the time I've saved at 'soixante neuf'.

[@NelsonVlog66]

Anyone remember the beard Johnny Carson grew during his vacation during the spring of 1985?

[@kindabluejazz]

That was actually not a good shave. Besides the 2 cuts (lip and chin), sideburns were cut unevenly, and there were spots missed like around his lips, under the chin, and under the cheekbone. I didn't see the full bit, maybe Dave was yapping and got nicked, maybe he called it off for time.

[@crosswalklarry]

Guy did a half ass shave. 🤣

[@dougthomson5544]

Well, Dave, you’ve made up for the shearing now.

[@barryf5479]

It takes me about a minute to shave in the morning with an electric razor. 'Never cared for a beard. I'd end up with some of the food I eat in it.

[@cherylsibson2529]

Great!

[@Godbless_theUSA]

And he’s got the Jon Lennons

[@v8vrooooom]

Damn I was hoping this was a current video with 2023 Dave

[@elizabethlarson9655]

When I first saw this, I was worried that maybe Dave's current beard had died.

[@uprightfossil6673]

Old news. Just saw him at Iowa with the present beard and short haircut.

[@saints093]

Dave looks younger without the beard, wish he’d shave it off for good

[@streamofconsciousness5826]

He should have had a modern day Jack Elam doing it with a straight edge, and asking him why he never had this guy and that guy on the show.....

[@jimmyholloway8527]

Dave as a member of ZZ Top? And lo, it came to pass. He has recently trimmed it down.😊 but honestly, the closest anyone looks today like Dave did when his beard was the longest is a man named Irving Finkel from the British Museum of Antiquities. Dead Ringer. And funny, in a British Museum of Antiquities sort of way.

[@nonstoprocker5377]

His over the top fake laugh is disturbing...I could see how uncomfortable the girl felt...

[@Chifan71]

Finally. Thank goodness.

[@lindakaye7935]

This was the day Dave decided to retire.

[@michaelstein7850]

9:26 good edit....

[@desertr4062]

No worse shave than a straight razor. But fun to watch. 😂

[@lorddiosliving]

Didn't know the lead singer of three doors downs was hosting the tonight show and had a shave

[@lindathalman3506]

Guys, most of you, just look so much younger and attractive without the beard. Not all. But Dave doesn't do a beard well. IMHO.

[@billking1751]

I forgot why he went off the air. He still had it as far as i was concerned.

[@Emy53]

Now he looks like David Letterman.

[@NelsonVlog66]

This is why I seldom shave my face now. I'll shave my head before I shave my face.

[@carlwilliams6977]

If it takes you 15 to 20 minutes to shave your face, you're doing something wrong! I shave my face AND my head, and I can do it in a lot less than 10 minutes, and I don't look like I was in a knife fight...Roberto!
