David Letterman's First Visit to Regis and Kathie Lee, October 5, 1992

First, the remote that aired on Late Night October 9, 1992.
Then the segment that aired on Regis and Kathie Lee.

[@white_heat.truth76]

Brings back memories of the electricity in the Letterman era and what good pals Dave & Regis were. Thanks again Don.

[@drewzuhosky6826]

There is a great talk show going on in heaven right now and Regis is the host. May the GOAT of morning television rest in peace.

[@davidsthubbins176]

I like how Dave brings attention to the continuity errors with the glasses, and the 15 seconds that it took him to get from Regis' set back to his own. He might as well have said, "it's so obvious that we pre-taped this bit." 😆

[@gregoryfreeman9073]

Imagine being the guy in the audience. One time David Letterman gave me a kiss on the cheek and a 16 pound roast.

[@cindy-hz2xb]

Dave and Regis were hilarious together. Rest in peace, Reg

[@jobeLewOOH]

another great Regis moment, the reaction from Regis and Kathie Lee when they see DL walking on - DL just adored Regis, DL had Regis on his show many times and you could see the affection he showed him. love the LIVE behind the scenes shots of the set, crew, audience ! ! ! ! !

[@jrpipik]

I love that you got both versions.

[@shinigami146]

I gave a thumbs up less than one minute in because, you know... Dave. RIP Regis. What a sweet, funny and stand up guy you were.

[@good_teanice_house6789]

They all had such a great sense of humour. KLG didn’t take herself so seriously and laughed at the “Doby” joke about her son kody.

[@rockturtleneck]

Letterman had incredible charisma and you could see Kathie Lee was kind of taken aback by it. Letterman was great at coming into a situation, doing his thing and getting out.

[@danieldougan269]

"When they told me my first guest after coming back (from heart surgery) was Regis Philbin, I said, 'I'd rather have the surgery again!'" -- David Letterman, 1/14/2000

[@JMelissaMc]

Kathie Lee filled in for him on some of those nights. She was really good too!

[@johnp4008]

Then cue guitar riff

[@dostfez]

Man you can tell David had the energy back in the day...lolz

[@laraine8857]

Thank you so much for this. Those were the days, my friend, I thought they’d never end.

[@steveleeart]

I always loved when Letterman did things like this!

[@michaelz9892]

Letterman was a lot of fun.

[@20EUR20]

David inviting Regis on his show was always good entertainment

[@gauvinchris]

I dug out my old VHS tapes during quarantine and had a few "mixed tapes" of various shows recorded off TV - and this entire episode was one of them!

[@SnowdriftBoy]

Put it online!😊👏

[@brianreardon7700]

Please!

[@JakeMabe1]

I bet David is as sad as a lot of us are tonight. You could tell he and Regis had a genuine fondness for one another.

[@johncaudill9782]

Dave was incredibly charismatic in these clips.

[@gauthamrallapalli150]

Thanks for posting these.. RIP Regis.

[@NxDoyle]

Great segment for both shows. Nice that you were able to upload the R & KL footage, too. RIP Regis.

[@Tory-T]

I hope you have more to come. These are making the mourning go by easier. #RIPRegis

[@dongiller]

Having gone nonstop the moment the announcement was made early today, I’m spent for now. Best not to ask for more, more, more right now.

[@Tory-T]

Don Giller Alrighty.

[@monilein1877]

Thank you, Don, for all the work you put in sharing these videos!

[@dhpbear2]

Dave was so concerned about 'continuity' with his wearing glasses that he forgot that the BAGS didn't match! :) The bag he left NBC with was tall, the bag he presented to Regis and Kathie Lee was wide!

[@YouTubeKnight]

Great catch sir.

[@bellboy4074]

He wasn't concerned with continuity. That was the joke.

[@joshjelks4803]

Regis will always be Notre Dame fan God speed to Regis.

[@johnsjohnson448]

This was great! Hillarious! Thanks for sharing.

[@stretchgilbert]

I loved the old Letterman Show on NBC

[@bloodlegion4874]

This is awesome! RIP Regis ❤️

[@joshjelks4803]

And Regis dresses very well with shoes and a good tie. We will see the young and funny Regis on KZbin for years to come RIP.

[@jwjw2898]

RIP REGIS....YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE

[@StevenTorrey]

Since Letterman does his show at 5:30 PM and Regis did his show at 9 AM....

[@FomorViceroy]

This is peak David Letterman.

[@WostryFerenc]

as usual, Don, you're the man

[@vhinang-kay3037]

Letterman needs to organize tribute for regis, hes like 100+ times guest on letterman show

[@gates69]

Your son Dobie. Lol! Thanks for the Regis vids 🥂

[@shawnuel]

gates69 I think he said Dopey.

[@gates69]

Shawn McLaughlin He says Dobie.

[@shawnuel]

gates69 Sounds like you are right. I prefer dopey, though!😉

[@ahmadkwaik6310]

You always upload great classic stuff man and rip regis

[@editorinchef]

And Director Hal Gurnee in the background at 8:10

[@tubby6339]

The big man and reg were always great together

[@markjones952]

RIP Regis

[@eghty8fox780]

Tv is not what it used to be

[@brianreardon7700]

Nope.. it sure is not!

[@Subo23]

You ain’t kidding

[@Tehownilator]

First thing I think of with Regis as a millennial is from how I met your mother when they paint him as a scary gangster, which was hilarious.

[@derekdykeman9160]

R.I.P. Regis.

[@dpf2122]

Lmao at "Doby".

[@johnIZaUWL]

I REMEMBER THIS ❤️😆😆❤️🤣

[@ClintScottFischer]

I thought Regis would live forever.

[@ralphwiggum250N]

A hundred years from now people will watch him with Kathy Lee on youtube.

[@TopSecretVid]

Dave is the best...

[@MrZellybrown]

Wish Dave would come back and save late night TV.

[@mr.patrickaloysiusbartholo4727]

The 🐐

[@JCO2002]

Don, any chance of you putting up the Blue Rodeo clip from the episode? They're a Canadian band. Loved their stuff. Didn't know they were ever on Letterman. Edit; Just figured out Regis died. Bummer. He was a cool dude.

[@dongiller]

In time. After going nonstop all day and night preparing Regis/Dave uploads, not the best time to ask for more, more, more.

[@suziemills2201]

The good old fun days

[@carlharrison9503]

That was truly fun times two.. I would like to have seen Manon Rheaume from that day Wow, she is still managing a girls league in Canada. Any way to post that? Also Mitch Mitchel from the Experience was on and I missed him.

[@backlightsnew]

Regis isn't gone, his soul is trapped forever in a continuous KZbin loop.

[@moxica93]

Need the clip from Late Show when Kathie Lee sings Happy Birthday to Dave...

[@dongiller]

Not uploaded on this channel.

[@mccobsta]

Hey Don what's you setup like for digitising these old tapes

[@dongiller]

1. VHS or Beta tape from various VCRs to DVD burner. Finalize. 2. Convert DVD-R to .mp4 on desktop computer. 3. ID file and place in appropriate folder.

[@ryanellis4474]

I heard Letterman was a stickler about audio quality on his shows, and truly, the sound was better when Dave’s producers mic’d him walking in on Regis compared to the sound of Dave on Regis’ microphones

[@sdne1959]

. Wow......don't know that I've ever seen Regis so (relatively) subdued......usually he was CONSTANTLY yacking (not meant as a dig, just an observation). Maybe it was because he really was (as Kathie Lee also seems to be here) caught so off-guard, he didn't really know what to say or do.... That said, interesting to see how Dave and Regis's (on-air, anyway) relationship "blossomed" over the years, and how these two genuinely seemed to like being together...... .

[@charlespatrick8650]

do you have the clip where celebrities welcome Dave back from his heart bypass surgery, and David Duchovny, in his Agent Mulder office, calls Regis a "caffeinated little monkey," and they switch over to Regis on his morning show set firing right back at Duchovny?

[@charlespatrick8650]

now that I'm thinking/remembering it, Regis was probably on his "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" show set instead, it's been a long time since that was on, 20 year old memory if that was in 2000

[@JMelissaMc]

I remember when he had the Doctors on. He said, "These are the Doctors that saved my life'! And everyone cheered!

[@charlespatrick8650]

found it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHmao2xjdtJ7b80

[@charlespatrick8650]

JMelissaMc the part I remember starts around 1:40 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHmao2xjdtJ7b80

[@AndrewsOpinion15]

GOD GIVE US BACK REGIS PHILBIN AND WILL GIVE U STEPHANIE HOLLMAN !!!

[@gabrielsandoval8968]

3:49 your son doopy😂😂😅😅

[@boblozaintherealworld3577]

let's be honest....Kathie Lee was a BABE back in the day.

[@ddt99]

Obnoxious, phoney and arrogant, but hot.

[@chrisspathelf2310]

Katie Lee seems to be in shock of seeing a TV star? She never meet him before?
