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.

"And you know it too Dave, It's nothing you haven't said to me before". I laughed so hard...

[@toddstowell]

You know secretly that Letterman loved this. If you think about what Howard is saying in 1986, it was not at all common on TV. Both of these guys just about to hit their prime. Baba Booey to y'all.

[@commanderkeen3787]

Howard is one of the few guys who can out-maneuver Dave. Some interesting power dynamic going on there and it's been this way for decades. Could be because they both started in radio

[@toddstowell]

@@commanderkeen3787 Fully, and I think in some crazy way, Dave loved the chaos it brought because he knew people would talk about it.

[@Piggy-Oink-Oink]

Howard literally changed what is 'acceptable in 'society'. Howard used to be despised by the old mob of uptight sexually repressed puritans in charge. As time passed what was distasteful became acceptable. And now we have lesbians everywhere lol

[@calessel3139]

Yes, in fact Letterman has openly stated Howard was one of his top favorite guests.

[@ml9867]

Hit em with the Hein!

[@dizzy_derps]

"I have nothing bad to say about K-Rock." Give it time, Howard. Give it time.

[@Prof.Pwnalot]

You really think he would ruin a good thing? of course not. NBC however

[@calessel3139]

Howard was always grateful to Letterman since Dave was one of the few people who would allow him on air after his numerous (ridiculous) bans from popular media. Of course Letterman loved having Howard on as a guest.

[@bulldawg7232]

Until Howard started mentioning stuff on the air that Dave specifically told him not to..

[@fergus247]

but what helped him more in his career. probably the banning, when people hear they want to check him out

[@mandoluva]

Fan of Dave since I was a kid in the 80s, and watched KZbin vids of him forever. The relaunch of the channel has been amazing.

[@bYtealiEnSzen]

Same here. Would watch his morning show at an off-campus bar!

[@RadMartigan]

Letterman is like a supervisor you are friends with trying not to reprimand you for saying something inappropriate, but he thinks it's funny hahaha

[@JustinTNAWWEGuy]

Howard on Dave's show was always magic

[@RoeLuv1]

Always a Huge Deal whenever Howard was on.

[@cb9600]

@@bernlin2000 The truth hurts, pal. Howard is a shell of himself. He made fun of the A-listers, now he worships them because they accepted him which is what he wanted all along. And how he's boring and unlistenable.

[@chriscampbell9191]

He "hates" radio, but it was and still is his life. On this '86 interview, Stern resembles more the Howard Stern I remember than the earlier Letterman interview I've seen, from '84.

[@bulafritz]

Boy he was right about Johnny Carson staying too long. His heart just wasn't in it anymore. Worked 3 days a week and his ratings were awful.

[@SeanSMST]

When did Carson really drop off? As someone from outside the USA, I have no idea.

[@Slickmickyoyo97]

Still way better than Colbert the late night embarrassment.

[@EdwardD-q5p]

Reminds me of someone

[@msr1116]

A part of Carson died when his son died. He never recovered from that loss even though he wasn't close to any of his children.

[@johnnyhammer]

This is from 1986 and I'm hanging off every word. Stern had some kind of magic about him.

[@mychannel-su1bx]

Now he's what he railed against.

[@Zig_Was_Here]

The evolution that Stern has seen since filming this interview is astounding.

[@antilocust]

Devolution

[@FishcatGames]

this is a very different Stern than I grew up with... this is so great 😂

[@rumdonkey7826]

Howard Stern's outfit epitomizes the 80's.

40 years later and now he dresses like a skater boy from the 90's...

Feel like my dad had the same aviators

[@giovaschiano]

I Enjoy both versions of Stern, who he was and who he has become. It's been a hell of a journey.

[@criticalmass613]

"What about that Fox network? Think it's gonna work out?" A little slice of history, right there.

[@timburr4453]

Yep I remember it well. I think Married With Children debuted...either later that year or the next. By 1990 or so they were the hip network

[@fhowland]

Howard at his best. Love the chip on his shoulder that he used to have.

[@chrispywilliams1992]

He takes over every interview from the very start

[@VideoAmericanStyle]

Funny to hear them talking about the new “Fox” network.

[@jobiazgarza9571]

in the 80s, I had no way to listen to Stern on the radio since I was not in NYC but I always liked him on Letterman. He was the only guest who spoke like this to Dave. I miss this Howard - 2022 version is a pale imitation

[@timburr4453]

The real Howard is long gone and buried. Very few had the guts to go toe to toe and have this kind of banter with Dave and it made for true must see appointment TV

[@Dukeofcrow]

Such a great interview

[@JavierArveloCruzSantana]

If anybody thought he would get that first $500,000,000 SiriusXM deal years later ... Oh boy!

[@PIXPromosMore]

8:58 - But not SO much "Done with NBC" that he became a judge on "America's Got Talent" Decades later

[@roddyboethius1722]

That was when Howard became a Hollywood suckup, which was his goal all along

[@Bobster986]

And now Stern is history 😆

[@sabian630]

This has to be the scene they reenacted in Private Parts. Nice

[@marian1634]

He looks great in this.

[@comment.highlighted]

I love seeing Howard Stern evolve and keep getting better 😁

[@playinragz8183]

You ment change his whole persona and become a liberal wacko for riches. If Stern was today’s guy back then you would have never heard of him. FACT

[@Slickmickyoyo97]

Exactly the kind of guest Letterman deserved back then, a fellow interrupter 🤣. Howard really hasn't changed one bit.

[@geneseofootball1915]

He hasn't? He's a shell of his former self.....and that's putting it lightly.

[@nighthawk0077]

[@mikedoux2521]

I think he was being sarcastic

[@TheOtherDerek]

[@mitzelnation78]

Is he?

[@bulldawg7232]

​@mitzelnation78 absolutely he is. He's turned p.c. Hollywood Howie. He is also just like Imus now.

[@mikemiles728]

I always loved seeing Howard on the show. But I'd also like to see Dave's interview with Aaron Ralston. It was a great interview!

[@phobos258]

Wow Anthony Jeselnick sounds just like 1986 Howard Stern. At least in their tone and cadence

[@LizardDude]

You're not wrong.

[@missyelliot6237]

Damn that’s a good comparison. For sure dude. It’s kinda amazing actually.

[@philmstud2k]

Didn't realize people still said "happening" in the '80s.

[@I_Am_The_Social_Reject]

[@RageTVHTX]

Probably one of the Greatest Makeovers in Show Business History; Howard Stern from his last appearance in 1984, to this one, 1986

It's so funny that Howard has talked all this crap, and has literally become Don Imus. 😂😂😂

[@cb9600]

His current wife, Beth, was 14 when this aired.

[@Hollywood42081]

Reminds me of when they fired Norm from SNL

[@Godfather5400]

4:48 kinda sounded like they said “Hawk Tua”

[@thedude4672]

OMG, I miss *this* Howard Stern!!

[@Jim_L]

I commend the Howard of today for not pretending to be someone he isn't, meaning I'm glad he's not trying to keep doing what he did when he was younger, such as in this clip. An old-aged Howard of today talking sexual and hitting on younger women would be embarrassing. But that said, I am no fan of the Howard of today. This is just me talking, but I find what he does today incredibly boring, unfunny, not edgy, and really syrupy. Again, I give him credit for evolving, but what he's evolved into is simply not my cup of tea whatsoever.

[@Skier10]

Well said

[@vrvaughn]

Howard always had a face for radio…

[@bernlin2000]

She looks great here.
