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. These highlights have been artisanly-produced, carefully-curated, and chosen completely at random by an old computer that used to pick numbers for the New York Lotto back in the 90’s.

[@AnnNunnally]

I cannot think of two people less suited for a morning show than Fran and David.

[@CatCasual]

I know. I love it.

[@keefriff99]

I love how low-key and awkward they are. You never see this kind of thing on TV anymore. It’s all just a pre-planned freakshow now.

[@BonnChnd]

😂😂😂😂

[@alexblake92]

this is my comfort video

[@peterdarker1]

WOW...the first Fran Lebowitz appearance?? And on the Letterman MORNING show??? Wow...I've never seen this! What a gem!!

[@anneglass8084]

Fran is a NY icon. Love her! And I think Dave liked her too.

[@debbiemetke5938]

So refreshing to see somebody so unique. Her later talks on Occupy Wall St., etc. are brilliant.

[@davidallen346]

She looks good in this interview

[@timhrklittimothyherrickvid169]

My God, they're kids. The two personas & New Yrokers here would be part of our lives for the next several decades up until the present.

[@renaemckenzie8708]

She was so beautiful

[@LarsWalker-xo2jn]

Do your eyes work?

[@gauchomark]

It’s weird to see Fran without her signature wing-tipped cowboy boots! As always, her great wit is present.

[@billmoss2877]

I was going to say Fran's an icon but another commentor beat me to it. So I'll just say she's always been so damn cool. I love her.

[@Chickenpatty878]

I thought I was up on my Letterman knowledge, never knew he had a morning show. Cool to see this clip

[@elisaortega4837]

She is so gorgeous and such a witty mind! The wild stories she could tell about NY nightlife at that time with all the artists community.

[@MM-ux5wi]

So organic the old days, Haha, Just love it

[@XX-zk2lf]

Funny, intelligent, & beautiful. The woman is perfection.

[@jayturner1770]

Are u making fun of this poor guy just because he seems sort of feminine? U bully troll

[@aerialarboreal9005]

Wow... I was still in grade school when this aired... I'll be 58 this year!!! Yikes!!!

[@dahftdale]

what brilliant minds

[@johnnash297]

DL's morning show was the only reason to get up after a late night. The last "good' morning show.

[@AndieWalsh333]

Has Dave flustered. Never seen that before.

[@tylerbrown4171]

Is it just my eyes or around the 3.32 mark does it look like a split screen?

[@splinterbyrd]

If one were to meet some of the Old Testament prophets Isaiah, Samuel et al, they'd be just like Fran Lebowitz

[@gmann6269]

Janeane Garofalo + Jesse Eisenberg = Fran Lebowitz

[@charleybarley914]

Wow, a morning show clip!

[@JayDeeIsMyName]

They posted this Bill Murray-clip from the morning as well, recently! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGOXfYSsaploi5I 😁

[@charleybarley914]

@@JayDeeIsMyName Thanks for the tip!

[@Dan-nt2yb]

They should’ve served the audience stronger coffee. Good grief people.

[@jezebeljones659]

How 'bout that, I don't like adults as much as i like children.Teenagers? Sheesh!

[@sonamhf]

Wow just realized Janeane Garofalo is so much like her

[@chcarroll5164]

I was thinking more Bob Newhart.

[@sableminer8133]

@@chcarroll5164 LMAO 😂

[@Tommyr]

@@chcarroll5164 Nah, Bob is a national treasure.

[@xrrrismickey]

She's nothing like her.

[@russellziske7385]

Oy

[@somethingyousaid5059]

Do you remember Kukla, Fran, and Ollie?

[@somethingyousaid5059]

Yeah, me either.

[@DIYTFY]

Funny?

[@Mister_Belvidere]

I wonder if she's Jewish.

[@growthandunderstanding]

What is the relevance, if I may ask, Mr. Velveeta?

[@jackscratch785]

A lesbian Woody Allen

[@jayturner1770]

@@growthandunderstanding i think Velveeta is referring to the guy's giant curved nose and asking it as a rhetorical question... The comment is in reference to the man that Dave is interviewing and his large nose... That is the relevance....and what is the relevance of your rhetorical question that you asked Velveeta sir????

[@growthandunderstanding]

@@jayturner1770 Well, Jay, it seems that you do not understand the meaning of rhetorical. Since I actually wrote my question down, and since I addressed the person I was asking the question of, it is, by definition, not rhetorical. The relevance of my question, Jay, is that I am actually interested to understand Mr. Velveeta's point. You see, this is called communication. This is what intelligent people do. Good luck in your future efforts to communicate. I suggest attending some school first, however, as it is evident that you lack the basic education to really understand much of anything. Unfortunately, I do not have more time to educate you, so this is it from me. But maybe your mommy or daddy can help.

[@sbloome77]

Yes she is

[@sableminer8133]

Her little dig at him about where one would see her (college) as he's a highschool dropout or something? OMG this lady is insufferable with her own self grandiose

[@EightPieceBox]

He had her back many times.

[@MJagger89]

Fran is a high school drop-out, so I think you mis-read the situation.

[@sableminer8133]

@@MJagger89 Really oh she was being ironic!

[@sableminer8133]

@@EightPieceBox Yeah she is on Bill Mauer show a lot too, not that I watch him anymore

[@KaninTuzi]

You may want to look up something called sarcasm

[@jayturner1770]

So wait.. Is the dude that Dave is interviewing a woman? Or is he a guy??

[@kloatlanta]

Oh Jay…

[@valentinecorre4733]

HILARIOUS!

[@renaemckenzie8708]

She's very obviously a woman

[@_o__o_]

she old

[@tomsauer3830]

God, what a lost soul.

[@jennifer60515]

Fran? You must be kidding.

[@CreachterZ]

Wow. She is a very annoying and self-involved person.

[@nyyankeesbaby7]

Why? Because she says what she thinks and lives the way she wants? Why is she annoying?

[@jakealden2517]

I've never understood the appeal of Lebowitz. She's not funny, and doesn't really offer any insight into human nature beyond surface-level observations.

[@josephzallen1527]

She was so beautiful! She would have aged gracefully if she did not smoke.💔😭💔😭
