Dunkin' Donuts Remote on Letterman, July 27, 1990

By request. Dave challenges himself to sample all 52 donuts.
David "Fathead" Newman sits in with the band.

[@PatTheBatmanFan]

I wonder how that Seinfeld Chronicles thing worked out.

[@TheNeighborNicky]

It was canceled after 9 seasons, haven't you seen Larry King?

[@wuffalo]

@@TheNeighborNicky LOL

[@davidsandall]

They killed!

I've used that line, "Do you get a lot of suicides in here?" a few times in my life.

[@deanparis6180]

Shelley Winters and O.J..... the possibilities.... !

[@GeneBurnett]

"Do you get a lot of suicides in here?"

[@SixteenTonesStudio]

🤣 the last two lines of this segment had me on the floor!

[@mattkramer4132]

Now we know why Dave had heart surgery.

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

They had to fish out a Boston Cream!

[@SaintMartins]

Funny how after Dave mentions O.J. Simpson as Mondays guest, the audience is unimpressed, then Dave pulls out a gun & fires. Also when that cop shows up at the donut shop...i love stereotypes !

[@aaronsmith5433]

:"how fast was I going?"

[@rishoutfield2043]

I love donuts more than life itself, but this is like how your dad catches you smoking, and makes you smoke the whole pack all at once.

[@WTC7]

Have you watched Letterman light a cigar on the Charlie Rose show? I want to start smoking just by watching that.

[@didsomebodysaydmt8193]

How fast was I going, it's a reflex,lol Dave was known to get some serious speeding tickets in the early years. They actually threatened to arrest him if he got caught one more time.

[@dongiller]

His license was suspended for a month.

[@InjuredRobot.]

Thanks as always Don! This is a classic, always to be remembered.

[@JoseTwitterFan]

52 varieties?! These days, you're lucky to get up to 10!

[@seanm3636]

Yet they all score around 52

[@GooseOD]

Great Late night comedy show material, every night back then. what a show.

[@chrisspathelf2310]

About ten years before dunkin donuts took off because of coffee and to think all those years that poor guy was concentrating on the donuts.....WHAT HAPPENED????????????????????????

[@debonbon]

This is excellent.

[@fenwayify]

Wow, to be at Monday night's upcoming show: the delicate and demure Shelly Winters followed by an aspiring double murderer. They sure knew how to book 'em back then...

[@rancidcrawfish]

This was before they started using yoga mats formed into a ring and sprinkled with sugar. Real doughnuts are pretty awesome though

[@c71score]

Plain is the worst. That's like going to a pizza joint and just ordering the crust.

[@ThymeKeeper]

No actual ranking at the end. That's a little disappointing. :D

[@deanronson6331]

Dave to policewoman: "Was going too fast?" Now, that's quick.

[@jwgreek8606]

Ironically that same year Dunkin Donuts and Baskin Robbins would merge

[@ZepG]

Now Dunkin dropped the donuts from its name and they only make like 5 different types. Man I miss the good old days!

[@yossarianmnichols9641]

Take everyday American life and make a bit out of it. Who else can do that, no one.

[@ChrisOliver4307]

And Shelley Winters was never heard from again.

[@FIXTREME]

"What about one that's stuffed with chunks of stewed beef?" The dim sum place is down the street, Dave 🥴

[@MarjorieEarlDean]

Dave had the best remotes. I was always so sad when he stopped doing them.

[@steveconn]

Officer Swirl. Possibilities.

[@plaws0]

"How fast was I going?"

[@tholfikarn]

You get any suicides in here... That was funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@the6ig6adwolf]

What about one stuffed with chunks of stew beef?

[@qthelost]

Shelly Winters and OJ Simpson were in two of my favorite disaster films from the 1970s--The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering inferno, respectively.

[@factsoverfiction7826]

Good times! 💚 Thanks Don!

[@USALeonHeart]

I always love getting to see things like "Jerry Seinfeld has a new show . . ." that presage huge cultural moments

[@richardyoon4209]

This had to be shot before Dave had his cholesterol test on an episode and it was sky high

[@dongiller]

Actually after. The cholesterol test occurred in June 1989.

[@4stringz.]

LOL 1 clap for Jerry 😢

[@kurikokaleidoscope]

Classic.

[@fatalmodelmadhatter]

Riddle for the ages: how much did Dave's stomach rebel immediately after that remote?

[@inkling133]

Love this, thank you Don! Fantastic

[@dankim23]

And this is where mukbang started kids.

[@dangus5459]

Shoves his finger in his mouth and shakes the cop’s hand looool

[@dhpbear2]

00:27 - "We are experiencing....... a lull...." :)

[@4stringz.]

even these old clips are still better than any late night show in 2024

[@MarjorieEarlDean]

Wow what a duo of guests.

[@homer9868]

That cop is so hot, wow, I guess it’s probably was at this point.

[@Lolly1122dooda]

Takes a bite. This is number 52. Lol.

[@moaningpheromones]

It's the new season of Late Night with David Letterman. Now scientifically proven to be 20% more funny. Go ahead, change the channel. Hahahahahahaha . . . yeah, we know there ain't nothin' else on.
