David Letterman's Impressions Collection, 1985-93, Revised

[@user2144]

0:10 future Dave should have told Dave that Don and KZbin will come along to solve that ; )

[@Callmenobody174]

Am I the only person who laughs their ass off at Dave doing his "dumb guy" character?

[@Lateshowrob]

No, I think it’s hilarious too.

[@jedblaugrund597]

YOU'RE BACK!!! Thank the KZbin gods. Thanks for all of your continued hard work to bring us quality retro entertainment.

[@jeffreykoda3049]

i guess Im asking randomly but does anybody know a trick to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot the password. I appreciate any tips you can give me

[@zaynecain9647]

@Jeffrey Koda instablaster :)

[@jeffreykoda3049]

@Zayne Cain thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@jeffreykoda3049]

@Zayne Cain It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much, you really help me out!

[@zaynecain9647]

@Jeffrey Koda Glad I could help :D

[@psychtrane]

If you're here for Sparky Anderson (and, believe me, you are whether you know it or not) it's at 17:04

[@vjstv0101]

Funny when he did impressions of "dumb guys." Talented.

[@Redhotlugnut]

12:26 now we know where Clint Eastwood got the inspiration for his Gran Torino character!

[@cesarmadero05]

14:18 my favorite of the bunch

[@undeadsinatra]

Thank you for this one! As a Detroit-area kid who watched many a Sparky Anderson interview, I always found his impression to be UNCANNY. I've thought about it a lot over the years, good to be able to confirm how well he did it.

[@wecontrolthevideo]

I remember watching the show when Dave did that. I thought "damn, where did Dave go? Sparky's hosting the show, tonight."

[@fatherdmj]

39:20 - Perhaps the longest I have laughed in years. Tears. Thank you for posting this collection. Amazing stuff.

[@couchman184]

I didn’t get it… is that something Elvis ever said. Or that it is just completely off….

[@fatherdmj]

@@couchman184 Elvis never said it.

[@Mustang2277]

I was going to ask the same thing as Igor What made you find it so funny?

[@doderiolarkisso4038]

wohho glad you're back from the private hell

[@bapples]

Patiently waiting for the Letterman impressions of Leno collection

[@dongiller]

This’ll have to do for now - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3vJpJKfmMtgepY

[@allenhoward758]

@@dongiller Thanks, Don. Had no idea how much I loved Dave's impressions until literally cracking up teary-eyed for 1.5 hours tonight! THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!

[@kenkellar2246]

I would like to see his impression of Johnny Carson 🤣

[@pattysherwood7091]

My pastor was from Indiana. I remember him saying Spacial instead of special. And he had the same mannerisms as Dave, so that the first time I saw Dave, I recognized them and yelled, “Dave is from Indiana!” And I married the pastors son, so I recognize the Indiana style really dumb guy totally.

[@doderiolarkisso4038]

"...whyy the depression..?" man i always crack up at that part

[@LeeKav]

I think that gets the biggest laugh from the studio audience I've heard anything on the show get, as well.

[@stardustbaby4452]

mama, is they anymore mayonnaise?

[@NevadaBoss]

this is great..brings back so many memories: i.e. after seeing Dave do it, if i wanted to piss off my ex back in the day, i'd answer the phone "I told you, THE LOTTO MACHINE IS BUSTED!"..lol. Did i mention we're divorced? Great upload..thks.

[@Bill_Woo]

Phocking Pulitzer Prize for the video description above, alone. How does he do it. How does he do it.

[@eric_bee]

I was obsessed with the dumb guy impressions to the point I had to practice them all the time LMAO. Thank you for this collection!

[@iateyourass]

Welcome back, Don!!! We missed you and Dave very much. I'm all teary...

[@Lateshowrob]

Thanks so much for these videos Don. Can’t imagine how much time and effort you put into this. Great work.

[@kuyarhed]

Masterful how Norm Macdonald imperssonates Letterman doing impersonations….

[@GeoffNelson]

25:41 Paul is the best sidekick ever

[@wecontrolthevideo]

That's true! Dave could come out and mow the audience down with an AK-47, and Paul would say "Do you think the audience is a little dead tonight, Dave?"

[@MsMooreski1]

The detailed description with all the dates and hilarious details is the funniest thing I have read in weeks

[@TheoPhile333]

You are a true American. Thank you, for your service.

[@billemorrison]

wow, now that i’ve seen this, Dave’s Jane Pauley impression is really, really good

[@spuzzlightyeartoo]

(scoff) You could have added more dumb guy impressions to make up for all that tonight show stuff you deleded ;)

[@dongiller]

I could have, yes. :) But instead I added the final impression (on the final LN), which I should have done the first time.

[@stevenknefelkamp6514]

My wife and I watched Dave before and after the move-he was our kind of irreverent. How any thinking person can listen to a hosts monologue today is beyond me. Thank you for this posting.

[@jaysharpESQ]

i know! i always say the same thing... Letterman was the best. He originally didn't even do a monologue (allegedly strict orders from Carson himself) and when he did kinda start with the show kick-off it would usually only be 3 or 4 jokes read off the cue cards. Like Music being the silence between the notes - Dave's best was the humor between the scripted jokes.

[@vonwhitsett913]

All the time I watched Dave I wanted him to impersonate Paul. He had so many opportunities.

[@jaysharpESQ]

15:30 .... he says she's BUSTED? Third busted in a row from Paul? (15:22 the lotto machine is busted)

[@Aff3ct000]

"It's only a joke!" - Best response

[@pattysherwood7091]

I’m watching Letterman because the news is so bad.

[@eddieloius4592]

would love to see "impression week" or all of Frank Caliendo appearences

[@spuzzlightyeartoo]

Oh, I came here looking for Peter Allen,,, hmmmmm

[@99RiverSt]

Hey, Don Giller, Thanks, for all of them!!! This, and all the rest!!!

[@heaw]

05:38 Is this what Daria was referencing?

[@johnnynbk]

Sparky and Dave...both classics!

[@tastyjay]

Funny to hear David josh about those who didn't come to the softball games given how distant he was with the staff in future years. The hubris of youth, I guess.

[@P0cketSand]

Where is the "hey uh.....uh....ya got'ny gum?" Bit?!

[@dongiller]

Not within the clearly-stated timeline. This covers the Late Night years only.

[@P0cketSand]

@@dongiller sorry, I couldn't tell you what years that little bit fell in lol. Thanks for the quick reply though

[@anthonyneal5440]

28:14 The card he threw bounced off the confetti barrel 😂

[@kenkellar2246]

The lotto machine is broken 🤣

[@martasatgo]

Do you have a collection of art that Paul placed in front of his keyboard area? It seemed that it appeared in a handful of shows. For example in 1:13:18

[@dongiller]

I hadn’t put one together before the time came when I would no longer be able to.

[@erickziglar7967]

Hey Don do you have "Them Bats is Smart..." uploaded on your channel including the re-enactment?

[@dongiller]

I don’t and am no longer able to upload additional Dave-owned and -licensed content, unfortunately.

[@douglasjohnson4382]

There is no "off" position on the genius switch.

[@davestaircrazedlocalactor7949]

Ann Marie certainly had a lot of nerve.

[@mainmaam]

Thanks for posting this! Lots of fun!

[@randysimmons8684]

Can't thank you enough for your hard work posting all these clips. I thought that the old show was lost forever.

[@dongiller]

Thanks, Randy! The channel’s always at the mercy of the videos’ copyright owners.

[@yambag155]

Thanks Don!!! May you become the next KZbin millionaire!!! Keep up the great work. Everyone spread the word!!!!

[@dongiller]

Not monetizing the channel may have been a mistake. :)

[@Michael-xe3dn]

Dave: "That's a little character I do. It's the Dumb Guy." Paul: "I've never seen that guy before!" 😂😂😂

[@floydfinder]

57:38 "Look Avery, Wolfgang Puck frozen pizzas!"

[@floydfinder]

13:40 "The Lotto machine is broken!"

[@floydfinder]

10:10 "FOR the LOVE of GOD!!"

[@mackdaddyg321]

This was a truly inspired collection, and I thank you for the amount of work it took to put it together. This wasn't on here (and it really isn't an impression) but I wonder how many times Dave said "I've been hyp-no-tized" on his show.

[@dongiller]

I may or may not put together a compilation of that. And thanks!

[@jaysharpESQ]

@@dongiller reminds me of when he went to CBS AND THE upgraded graphics and top ten lists were comprised of "Dems Lasers" (said in the same kinda dumb guy voice)

[@suzanneblaylock9598]

Damn, I miss the 80's.

[@KenRobert]

Is there a Dr Ruth compilation?

[@dongiller]

There isn’t.

[@ippolit23]

In 1985 David's bright eyebrows made him look like an Oompa-loompa.

[@colbraddock9913]

Ha ha

[@Howard007]

Thanks for this

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

I remember watching the 1991 Persian Gulf War episode!

[@brianarbenz1329]

4:40 best impression of someone fielding a softball I’ve ever seen!

[@tbx59]

Dave's a low-key all-time kiss-blower

[@vjstv0101]

1:12:58 - art gallery joke

[@kjkiefcakes1847]

"Ladies and gentlemersss."

[@droidnick]

Don.... where are you getting all these films from!

[@dongiller]

My own collection. Here's a link to my blog post about it: donzblog.home.blog/2019/01/16/the-journey-begins/
