Teri Garr Collection on Letterman, Part 5 of 5: 1993-2008

[@pattydixon6510]

She never lost that delightful sense of humor, there's so much to learn from that. I adored her. The world is less lovely without her. RIP.

[@marcyfan-tz4wj]

yep....she was as beloved as could be.

[@kd8opi]

@@pattydixon6510 I will say that towards the end, I think she had lost some of her humor. After Gene Wilder passed away, she called him a jerk a few times on television. I didn’t think that was cool. Even if it’s true, I’m sure there are some people that didn’t get along with her, I’m hoping that they’re kinder.

[@leonardlumbers]

Teri passed away yesterday and so many of us have descended upon Don’s wonderful channel to drown our regrets. We can talk about the sexual frisson because it’s fun to imagine it between two such immensely appealing people, but as the years wore on I think it became almost more of a sibling dynamic, and I love that later aura perhaps even more. It might not be quite as funny and acerbic, but it’s all heart. I only wish there were more late-stage segments, but I imagine she wasn’t up to it, and that’s okay too. Dave would’ve been the consummate protector and gentleman, and we DID get to see a little of that here. Don, a sad week such as this is when your contribution to the preservation of the art form shines most. Thank you, sir. Teri Garr was divine, and it’s divine inspiration that led you to collating these lovely moments.

[@icm65]

Just finished viewing parts 1-5 of this series. Thank you Don for putting it together. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Teri is amazing. In the 80’s I fell in love with her beauty. In the 90’s, it was her wit. And in the later years on Dave’s show, it was her strength. They’ll never be another Dave, especially when he was on NBC. They’ll never be another Teri Garr. I miss them both. Thanks again!

[@firouz4296]

Life is so short. There must be a reason why I came acroos these Garr videos. She was full of life and beauty and warmth. You never know where life (and health) will take you. I am thankful for every day that I am alive, breath, feel and share.

[@AMEER-114-]

25:35 Is Paul using "smoking in the boys room" to bring on Teri? If so...why? Is he saying that she is like "one of the boys"?

[@J.P.Lindsay]

👍 She STILL IS!!!!!!

[@randall-king]

Don, I just finished binge watching all five collections of Teri Garr. When she came out for her last appearance on the Late Show and Dave had to help her walk, I teared up. It was a bittersweet moment to end her appearances on his show. Because I watched all of the appearances within a day or two, the magnitude really hit me hard of the change from a young, vibrant Teri to a Teri that needed help to get to the guest chair. Life catches up with all of us eventually.

[@69Mucci]

I read that she actually had MS starting around 1982 but wasn't actually diagnosed until 1999? If so, I wonder how many people were wondering for years why she was walking in a kind of a stilted way. Maybe people just assumed that she walked that way? Or didn't notice. I know I had no clue all those years, but now watching this, you can notice it progressing ever so slightly.

[@mikesgroi21]

She’s fantastic! Her humor is unique and completely her own. A true original!

[@1RabbitOnTheRun]

Thanks, Don, for compiling this wonderful five-part collection! Teri will be missed.

[@bobrk]

Teri Garr was one of the funniest guests on Dave's shows and the last few are also so poignant. Thanks for posting all these.

[@mikesteck7011]

Thank you for all these. THe magic that is Teri and the unique chemistry between her and Dave is once in a lifetime...her wit, personality, gift of comedic timing and especially her humility makes her wolrd-calss forever

[@davewestner]

Thanks Don. Just wrapped up watching this whole series for the 2nd time. I think they're my favorite comic duo. I realized about halfway thru the very first of these videos that I had been smiling for about 30min nonstop.

Enjoyed all five parts. One of the best collections so far. Thanks for another winner, Don!

[@truth8508]

Great post. Garr is so funny. You can see signs of MS as she walks on the shows even in the 90's.

[@primurph]

It looks like Dave knew and he makes sure to meet and help her up on that platform .

[@69Mucci]

As far as I know though, she wasn't actually diagnosed until 1999. Not sure if that's true though. But now you can see that there was something at least slightly wrong long prior to that.

[@j.kevvideoproductions.6463]

Such a great human being. I always loved her work from early on. Her Star Trek episode was one of my favorites. Her 70's and 80's movies were terrific. She was always cute, but a great comedienne as well. I wish her life hadn't become such a struggle, but she's an inspiration to others.

[@christopherdale1745]

Thank you for these. Teri Garr is maybe my first-ever crush, and remains one of my biggest crushes. She was, and always will be stunning.

Easy to appear on Letterman when young & beautiful, but took a ton of courage after 1990s. This is one strong lady. Shades of her mother's strength after losing Teri's dad.

[@jimgriffiths9071]

She has the heart of a lion! This woman deserved far more exposure than she got. A national jewel!

[@dianewinters8628]

[@JCSAXON]

Could she possibly be any more lovely and dear? You can clearly understand Dave’s affection for her. Thanks, again for all of your effort 🏆🛒🏆

[@stevedrake604]

David was being honest when he said she carried a lot of dismal shows back at the start when he and his format were gaining traction. She is a jewel of a woman. Then, now and forever more. Her look at the last interview was like "He's finally laughing at my prepared jokes! After 25 years!!!"

[@kimclark2135]

I am going to get cussed out and hated...but here goes my comment: despite everyone else's remarks about TG..I find her to be sparky and rude to Dave at times. I don't see all this charm and dignity. She is often sarcastic, and well, dare I say÷ bitchy. To me Mary Tyler Moore was much more of a class act. Go-ahead, I can take it...!!

Such a wonderful series, being from the UK, I’d only seen a couple of Teri’s appearances, seeing the complete series explains the chemistry they both had. Thank you to both Teri and Dave for super television, and to Don for putting these together, memories of a time when people knew how to have fun and remain respectful at the same time.

[@sonpham32]

Hearing of Terri's passing today, my tears flowed when she came out for her last appearance on the Late Show and Dave had to help her walk to her seat. Who would have known, 16 years later, she would pass on. It was definately a bittersweet moment to end her appearances on his show where she was more than a guest through the years but a family member of the late show. RIP Terri Garr and for the wonderful, wonderful memories.

I am not much of a fan of celebrities... esp. these days. But Teri came across so genuine and down to earth. She was beautiful, funny, charming... it's hard not to love her. And I didn't even know her. But after watching these, you feel like you did know her.

Thank you for editing and posting this entire collection! The last clip with Johnny was an unexpected surprise (she was one of Johnny’s final guests in May 1992, and she was hilarious). She was always one of my favorites of Dave’s guests, and it was fun to watch how each evolved over the years.

[@frankmacs9379]

I'm from the UK & so, never knew about Teri & her interactions with dave. I've binge watched them all in 2 days & she was a brilliant, feisty, entertaining stand-up-for-yourself type of woman. It made for brilliant viewing as dave couldn't control her. The MS progression is awful to watch & terrible for her to endure. My uncle had it, so i know the journey all too well. I'm watching this in 2021 & recent footage of Teri shows MS has brought on terrible depression for her & taken the fun & life out of her. A stunningly beautiful woman with the joie-de-vie snatched from her. Life is so unfair!

[@Philmoscowitz]

You said it, man.

[@elizabethwightman4700]

Teri is a hoot and just Darling❤😮😂😊🎉❤

[@4seeableTV]

Dave's show went on for 7 more years after the 2008 episode with Terri. I wish he had brought her back once a year until his show ended. She is so at ease with him and I think it would've done her good to have that be a yearly event. But with MS, I'm guessing the 2008 appearance might've been towards the end of her being able to communicate in such a relativity easy manner. So she may have very well been invited by Dave, but had to pass based on the disease's progression. Either way, I'm happy to see that she had a great time with him.

[@JJJZANESVILLE2]

[@curbozerboomer1773]

My now 69 year old sister, was diagnosed with MS when she was 35....she had trouble walking in her forties, and eventually used a wheelchair. Now, 34 years into the MS, she does not really know her surroundings very much. Her long-time husband, who I do not much like otherwise, has been a faithful and understanding companion to her. She is lucky to have a stand-up dude--many men would have arranged for her care with someone else!
