David Letterman Christmas Record Collection

[@thefrontpage]

I have all of these albums. They are beautiful, eloquent and masterful masterpieces of classic musical entertainment.

[@SupraWes]

30 years later and I'm still watching Dave

[@AudioFileZ]

Love Paul saying that Dan Blocher was his guess. Lol!

[@Duke-v6l]

Paul was so random a real musician great timing and most of the time doing his own thing

[@rogertrujillo7423]

Late Night with David Letterman was the main reason I didn’t get much sleep in high school

[@ethan_benfield]

same man. and conan

[@Duke-v6l]

It's why I went in the army instant of college

[@scottlarson1548]

It's the main reason we got a VCR.

[@jamessmithe5490]

Cranky Dave was always the funniest Dave.

[@argelbargel7680]

My parents had that Ponderosa album. It's worse than you can possibly imagine.

[@monolithgeometry3221]

Laughin hard on that one

[@bobdavis4848]

I had to play New Kids On The Block's "Funky Funky Christmas" on the radio! "Kick the ballistics, Santa Claus!"

[@taumpytears6999]

Some of his best skits have been the ones that sank like rocks

[@525Lines]

+Taumpy Tears A poor audience reaction always got under his skin and made it funnier.

[@grooveechainsaw]

gotta love Dave's record collection !

[@rogertrujillo7423]

Stuff like this is why I got very little sleep in high school. Classic Late Night, love it!

[@milfordcivic6755]

I had the Star Wars album. That's long gone.

[@j.j.zapata4855]

I play this every Christmas now. It’s just hilarious!

[@rogertrujillo7423]

Today the winter wonderland tomorrow the world, classic!

[@stephenstone8480]

A six-pack, a couple of spliffs, and Late Night with David Letterman...those were the days...

[@monolithgeometry3221]

Heino haha. I finally figured out what and or who Beck was referring to was his first record all those years ago when he debuted on MTVs Headbangers Ball with Thurston Moore!! Heino!! Funniest best interview ever .

[@Kaiwaza]

Do you think he'd ever imagine how much a copy of that Stars Wars Christmas LP is NOW? That one is a real collector's item.

[@peoplebusinessmovie]

About $22.00

[@pikachuhatyu]

lololol

[@tomerdahl9867]

He cut off that "R2-D2 We Wish You a Merry Christmas" song right before Jon Bon Jovi came in with his first ever professionally recorded vocal. His brother Tony was co-producer of the album.

[@knuckledragger9322]

@@tomerdahl9867 Wow. And, artistically, speaking, it was downhill from there for Bon Jovi.

[@HardRockMiner]

I remember watching this one !!

[@graxjpg]

Couldn’t resist clicking. Absolutely love this bit. Thanks for posting.

[@ruthecker399]

love dave miss him

[@jamesqualls8125]

True, especially a unusual Christmas record collection

[@bobwalsh3751]

I happen to have the Christmas with Colonel Sanders!

[@kstepko]

Did it come free with the purchase of a bucket of chicken?

[@bobwalsh3751]

@kstepko probably.

[@Queequeg313]

You know what I love? When people think it's not that funny, you don't hear laughter. I think they really weren't using laugh tracks for these Letterman episodes.

[@TheAmericanLoudmouth]

"Mommy, I'm scared!" LOL!

[@michaelszczys8316]

James Brown Funky Christmas, now that’s a good album. My favorite

[@paulwardle4761]

haha...Dave was always great when the material tanked and he starts badmouthing his own talent...hysterical

[@jennifersman7990]

Dave was at his best when annoyed by everything and everybody

[@landyachtfan79]

3:27..................I had that very album on cassette!!!!!

[@simplehuman1798]

They kept cutting to the monster bassist Francisco Centeno....and, for some reason, it made me laugh my ass off. That’s why they made the big bucks.

[@dplatt7290]

He seemed to be having a great time!

[@FayeMorgana]

I LOVE the Christmas on the Ponderosa album! It is great!!

[@yournamehere6002]

Have a funky funky Christmas!

[@AudioFileZ]

It's not Christmas unless Jack Webb is droning about the Holidays with his most dead-pan voice to ever grace TV.

[@peoplebusinessmovie]

Thanks!

[@williambradford1603]

These are the albumns I'd listen to high an laff all nite long

[@64dethray]

Heino kicks ass.

[@dixonpinfold2582]

That's what everyone's saying at school.

[@stephenstone8480]

Heino's a Nazi...

[@AudioFileZ]

The Star Wars album is the best example of commercialism run amok,,,and damn funny too.

[@jackobora3193]

Dave was at his absolute best when he stopped giving a shit.

[@jayvoke188]

The bass player with the prison sport called is Francisco Centeno. Now I know.

[@brucehanson6427]

Thank you I was wondering who that was

[@markbleichwehl]

They have to find tapes of David Letterman and show them on cable

[@dhpbear2]

4:49 - Colonel Sanders' voice is SUPERB! :) (wtf?)

[@danneilson7768]

Herd the Jack webb song on the radio this past Christmas pretty funny actually

[@dakotafarm1]

What song are you referring to? The Dragnet "Christmas" album is actually the soundtrack to a TV episode and has no songs.

[@danneilson7768]

@dakotafarm1 the one about the guy who doesn't believe in Christmas or the Easter bunny or Toledo

[@tcn1961]

​​@@danneilson7768That was "Christmas Dragnet," a parody by Stan Freberg ... with the running gag about scallions.

[@B-and-O-Operator-Fairmont]

Who was the fellow in the band they kept showing? He wasn't one of the regulars. I should know who it is but it escapes me.

[@wcwbulldog1701]

Shout-out to WXII Channel 12 from Winston-Salem, NC

[@candidcameracat]

It says it's from the mid-1980s. But it's actually from 1990.

[@peoplebusinessmovie]

You are correct, sir.

[@shnooger]

This can't be from the mid-80s...the New Kids Christmas cd is from 1989.

[@ObservantHistorian]

It's concerning to me that so many people know when the New Kids Christmas album came out.

[@peoplebusinessmovie]

@shnooger anything earlier than 2002 is mid-80s to me, dog.

[@monkeytennis7477]

Cranky Dave at his best. He owes a lot, stylistic wise, to Tom Lehrer and Soupy Sales. I say this as a fellow Hoosier and crank case myself. 😂

[@kstepko]

Was that “Christmas with Colonel Sanders” record a free gift with the purchase of a bucket of chicken?

[@jamescooley5744]

Kinda like the tire store Christmas albums..Goodyear, Firestone

[@gallery7596]

I have "Christmas With Colonel Sanders," and it's actually a pretty nice album.

[@dennissmith9259]

How could they omit 'Kung Fu Christmas ' WRITTEN by Paul Schaffer for a National Lampoon record album? (damn, now I need to look for it in my basement...)

[@Vidiot25]

Genius

[@kt9166]

Frightening to know how good Donnie Wahlberg is on BLUE BLOODS, and how silly he used to be singing with the New Kids. At least he grew up!

[@charlesbyers6911]

The true meaning of Christmas - kids love robots

[@javajoelradio]

Definitely 1989 (the New Kids CD came out that season).

[@Duke-v6l]

Somebody posted some stump the band they were great especially when Dave got sick of it he turned into a miserable dry drunk

[@antoniod]

R2D2? Too bad there isn't a Dalek Christmas album.

[@rFriction2]

Colonel Sanders looks like he's having a stroke!

[@Alienfanatic]

At last I have proof that Dave Letterman is, in fact, a time traveler. If you look at the video segment at kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnzIgqeagLCNZ9E you can clearly see the embittered hermit Luke Skywalker hunched in front of the fireplace while C-3PO looks on nearby. This episode is almost 30 years old, yet we have photographic proof that they knew of TFA and TLJ roughly about the time that J.J. Abrams was finishing college! Time travel, ladies and gentlemen!

[@brintsmith2329]

back when he was actually still funny

[@Mike-vt6nc]

To dam funny

[@robertstogsdill1024]

Angry Dave!

[@dixonpinfold2582]

Too many reaction shots of that guy sitting in with the band. _Way too many._

[@shnooger]

@peoplebusinessmovie haha...oic

[@CarolYannes]

David Letterman was funny when he first started out on NBC and early on CBS. Then he went full hard left and made no secret about it. He also became very unfunny. It was sad.

[@markevan1]

Dementia is now known as an advertiser on KZbin.

[@CarolYannes]

There are some truly bad Christmas albums out there.

[@lynnturman8157]

Yikes. Dave seemed a little perturbed.

[@mgabrysSF]

New kids on the block was NOT mid 80s.

[@nataliep.9047]

You could always count on Letterman to be about as funny as a kidney stone attack.

[@monkeytennis7477]

He was supposed to be cringe funny, that was his style. 😬😬😬

[@jonhohensee3258]

wow, that was horrible
