My aunt was the guitarist for letterman’s show for 23 years!!! Felicia Collins

[@bb1111116]

Great musician.

[@Bulakensack]

I remember her, she was great.

[@jdpower6360]

She was a great part of the worlds most dangerous band

[@BandedFuture]

Wow. She was amazing on that show!

[@Hellothere854434]

Nice, what did she think about Dave?

[@billsboyak47]

Implementing "make it take it" in the All Star game is actually genius!

[@MrSlimnigga]

Something we grew up doing in the Bahamas as kids and teenagers!

[@MrSlimnigga]

Isn't it!

[@redformaze5968]

I like that idea a lot!

[@doublesman0]

Then we really get to see which team doesn't care more.

[@DUFMAN123]

Letterman absolutely dominated that segment, the man is the master of talk shows.

[@BH-gh6qm]

everything fell so flat. crickets crickets

[@BR-re7oz]

@@BH-gh6qm Yea this segment seemed super awkward, when Letterman says "no one cares" at 8:13 it seemed like he was genuinely upset for some reason. The jokes weren't very good (didn't even really seem like jokes tbh, most top tier TV comedians at least know setup-punchline format so the support staff know when to laugh and react, but this didn't even have obvious laugh moments for the cohosts). There were other moments where Letterman seemed genuinely in a bad mood which is such a major mistake for a TV presenter.

[@clutch7548]

All his rules werent funny at all. I hope he didnt write them himself.

[@husq48]

Lame, like his show was when he moved to CBS. At least Paul Shaffer wasn't there!

[@jonahp03]

Kinda disappointing because Dave is really funny, and so are the TNT guys. But this was just a weird segment, there was way too many of the rule changes, they should have done something different too.

[@Drfunk910]

My goodness Mr. Letterman is just super natural, looks great at this show Legend. Miss watching his late night show. TNT thanks for brining him in this time ❤

[@par32]

I love this man so much. I used to watch his show every night. Hope he comes back at some point.

[@DESOUSAB]

Dave is a touch point for a whole generation of folks who followed him starting from his Mork and Mindy days. Go back and watch his work there if you ever feel like you can't turn things around... lol.

I'm 54 years old. I remember babysitting at the neighbour's house and watching Letterman as a young kid. The man was viciously funny back then. Now he is a simple teddy bear of a man. Long live David Letterman....

[@Japino9]

🍪

[@jlobiafra]

NBC Letterman was savage 😂

[@MrMagnaniman]

The man called Shaq a "mofo." To his face. And Shaq just sat there, shaking, while everyone laughed. That old guy still has teeth.

[@ericebeling3255]

I'm old enough to remember when he started with a low budget morning show.

[@gardensofthegods]

​@@ericebeling3255wow must have been really interesting watching him go from that to hitting the big time . I actually just saw two episodes of him in a Mary Tyler Moore variety show from before he hit the big time . They're both here listed by the same title : Mary ( unaired) 1978 . They also have a very young Michael Keaton in them .

[@nohabloemojislosiento4930]

The scene of Letterman trying on Shaq’s coat is a extra wild when you realize Letterman is like 6’4.

Saw him and Paul with my mother while we were both deployed in Iraq, Christmas eve 2004. Absolute legend.

In this instance? No. It just wasn’t funny

[@sixtoseven7563]

Wasn't ever. Maybe worth occasional smirk. Had great band and guests but man dude just not funny.

[@pauljimenez2799]

David Letterman is such a natural broadcaster. Takes over any set effortlessly - but with class!

[@par32]

What a pleasant surprise seeing letterman join inside the nba. The man still has some of the best comedy chops I’ve ever seen. Just brilliant. Hope he’s involved in more content going forward.

2:58 that tap from shaq to ernie

[@OhioPaulDE]

Being 40, I always thought David Letterman was the best late night talk that was on at the time. How Leno beat him in the ratings always left me fucking astounded. Glad to see him on this show.

[@heidi7151]

NBC affiliates aired Leno right after the local news. CBS affiliates-only about 70% at times. And Jay had higher profile guests being based in L.A. And Letterman put a lot of people off with "weird" comedy where Leno played it down the middle.

[@TAPPChannel]

Wow nice stuff was there tonight!! Greetings from Chicago

[@dn9597]

David Letterman is the Goat of talk shows! Got nothing but respect for that man

[@Danny-lr1yg]

Conan

[@suneelj93]

Letterman was actually known to be a terrible interviewer at the time. He interjected a lot. Kimmel is the absolute extreme of it.

[@jofelmorata]

It's Conan, but I certainly consider Letterman as the Bill Russell of talk show hosts.

[@Noisyhead818]

Carson is the goat imo

i like the last suggestion..mascots take the free throws

[@christopherparker7520]

Haa Haa LOL for a split second when I saw the thumbnail I thought it was " PHIL JACKSON " and Not David Letterman . Since Phil is a basketball celebrity and David a comedian , it would make sense for Phil to be on a basketball sports show . David's looks sure have changed a lot over the years.

[@stubone77]

Letterman killed this segment, in a good way!

[@Bitshitter]

I don't like his new teeth, though. That gap in the middle of his two front teeth was a trademark over the years........

[@MrMagnaniman]

David is from Indiana, so it still makes sense.

[@jso19801980]

nba and letterman...wow worlds colliding

[@DESOUSAB]

PR announcement incoming: I think he is the NBA's apparel sponsor next year through his company World Wide Pants. I'm guessing they will do shorts and tops as well taking over from Nike who will continue to do shoe deals with individual players. Inside sources liken Letterman's deal with the NBA to Drake's deal with the Raptors through his OVO company. Note: I'm trying to will this idiocy into existence... ;)

The goofy circus music unironically makes me enjoy these guys talking even more😂

[@user-yy9hk9od9u]

1. No more 3 pt line. Every basket is 2 pts. 2. No more free throws. The team that is fouled keeps possession at half court. Same number of fouls per player. 3. Coach can challenge a call. 3 times per half. Failed challenge costs a time out. Reviewed by video.

[@clutch7548]

Is this a joke like Dave’s?

[@rhesreeves5339]

Once again David Letterman makes everything better no matter what it is. These are such great ideas though he might even get ME out to see a game! I have watched everything he's done since the first OLD show. Rock on Mo Fo!
