Welcome to the Letterman KZbin Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show - as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. The language may strike you as quaint & flowery, the clothing comically lacey & ornate - but that’s how things were back in this colorful and now bygone era.

Mike Schank was too pure for this world.

[@josephlawson9950]

In memory of mike schank

[@squinkque]

Oh wow, sorry to hear that he passed. Younger than me. He partied harder than me though. I hope he stayed sober.

[@FilmandComicsSanctuary]

​@squinkque he actually did. Before he passed he celebrated 27 years sober and was a member of a sobriety group known as the Milwaukee Alano Club

[@RitaPortugirl]

Mike is just giving them a normal answer and everyone starts laughing lol. He's not doing a bit

[@Rob_Kates]

These guys are not comedians, but they are incredibly funny.

[@jebronlames5997]

Maybe they laughed because he said that same thing word for word in the movie about partying hard and drinking vodka.

[@adamspiegelofchicagoonhand8461]

In the dictionary, when you look up "Wisconsin", there's a picture of these two.

[@paulblack8887]

Best time machine answer I've ever seen.

[@zacharyhendrix4105]

I can't believe I missed these guys back then. hilarious, so happy to see it now, great classic Letterman remote.

[@ArthurFellig]

RIP Mike Schank. You are missed.

[@ChristopherDazey]

Wisconsin’s finest.

[@drewblood]

I randomly saw American Movie in the theater in 99 or 2000 and adored these guys. RIP Mike Schank!

[@chmod1777]

RIP Mike

[@joenelson337]

Good to see this again after all this time. You can tell when Dave is sincerely excited about a guest. Rest in peace, Mike.

[@mikemyersmusic]

It would have been nice to see more of this duo. They have kind of a Manny the Hippie vibe.

[@boozerverif]

"spider-man...cut off your hand" made me spit a little bit from laughing

[@MichaelMurphy-kj3xf]

These guys are fantastic. How have I never seen them before?

[@dextermcgrubbin]

Watch American Movie from 1999

[@badad0166]

This is like watching the final scene in Pulp Fiction when Vincent is alive again. RIP Mike. "American Movie" is the documentary that made them famous, for those of you just finding them.

[@TheeWorldsGreatest]

Mark being a wingman for Mike to Wonder Woman is classic.

[@sppspharmdude]

Schank steals the laughs man. RIP you kind, simple man.

[@Kapewa84]

I’d been waiting for this. Thank you!

[@Kapewa84]

This was indeed my request. And it is just as funny as I remember it.

[@timhulsizer]

@@Kapewa84 Now we just need Borchardt's Letterman appearances on 11-19-1999, 1-14-2000, and 5-1-2000

[@endtimessupportgroup5685]

That Wonder Woman was Julie Strain

[@justinmacdonald321]

I remember watching this when it first aired in 2001 good times!!

[@mc_lars]

04:03 "Mike think about this... Mark think about this."

[@user-yx8hc7lo8t]

I'm disappointed we'll never got to hear Mike's justification for why a time machine would be able to go to Mars.

[@no_one_of_that_name_here]

Great upload! Thanks to Lyle for requesting it.

[@squinkque]

I've watched American Movie 2-3 times which is a lot for me. Love that movie. Never saw this when it originally aired because I just wasn't watching Dave on CBS, but this segment is great. I see a couple other people saying Mike passed away. Anybody know what happened to him?

[@rocketreindeer]

He sadly passed away from cancer less than a year ago. His life seems to have had a positive effect on a lot of people.

[@squinkque]

@@rocketreindeer Thanks. He was such a peaceful matter-of-fact dude.

[@mhmrules]

Wicked, wicked, wicked!

[@cfrend]

Ok, we gotta get more of these guys if there are more clips. Hilarious!!

[@davidvbobb7785]

Mark and Mike on Letterman seems like an inspiration for The Joker on The Murray Franklin Show.

[@HauntFreak13]

I want to meet him so badly. Wanted to meet Mike too.

[@mattving61]

Love Mike. RIP

[@kirkthedayman]

❤❤❤

[@meerkat7406]

Mike Schank a Budha from Wisconsin.

[@tvviewer4500]

How tall are these guys?

[@chuckwilliams3003]

I WANT TO KNOW HOW HE WAS GOING TO GET TO MARS

[@robinr.berardini4792]

Wonder if Uncle Bill got paid

[@stevabobic]

Fan request: Belinda Carlisle DO YOU FEEL LIKE I FEEL performance and interview. Thank you.

[@checkmatekingtwothisiswhit7685]

Who cares about the writers strike, we have the Letterman channel.

[@tyr409]

Buddy Christ!

[@dianewinters8628]

They reminded of "The Ninja Turtles".

[@realretrorelapse]

Back before all the corporations took over San Diego ComicCon

[@Andrew-Antioch-Kim]

I'd like to know the over/under for "dude" and "man." LoL

[@KungEMuller]

That was truly far-out, man. Wow!

[@realretrorelapse]

All his movies are about a writer lol

[@oldmoviesinbwwithsubtitles3501]

That guy is wayyy too laid back….

[@TheFPSChannel]

W in T absolute F did I just watch?

[@Tassie85]

If you haven't seen American Movie, do it! You will fall in love with these two. Real ones.

[@chrisjeffrey7570]

RIP Mike
