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.

Hands down one of the GREATEST players of all time and very impressive he didn't miss a gm

[@DaneOrschlovsky]

R.I.P. to one LEGENDARY human being. PS: This is why everyone checks the obits after every video this channel posts 😂

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

I know _I_ did.

[@Zig_Was_Here]

I’ll never forget him.

Someone at Worldwide Pants is always the first person to know when someone dies.

[@privatepenguin3137]

I'm putting my money on the great Don Giller.

[@AR-ed3xw]

​@@privatepenguin3137 Why would it be Don? He may have a large archive of Letterman shows, but I can't find the correlation to this!

[@privatepenguin3137]

@@AR-ed3xw Well - in the pre-Letterman KZbin channel days, he was always quick with a tribute to the recently departed. And I believe the Letterman YT channel brought him on to do some work when they started up.

[@wuncieadams1352]

I don’t understand your comment. Maybe, it is because I never heard of the Worldwide Pants or maybe because I have never been a football fan. However, I am a fan of Jim Brown.

Thank you for posting this.

If a random interview pops up on the Letterman KZbin channel, there is a good chance someone died.

I know, I just posted the same thiught.

Let's pray there's not a video of Letterman interviewing Letterman.

Way to go Dave. 👏

R.I.P. to the legend! the Man! go BROWNS!

[@robertwiles8106]

RIP Jim Brown. Sounds like the owners of a defense contractor were using him as a cutout to collect sweetheart deals for having "minority ownership". A lot of companies do this to qualify for federal contracting minority set asides.

[@privatepenguin3137]

He might have been a great running back....but he was never a guest on The Barbara Gaines Show.

[@ddt1983]

This was filmed in 1984

[@richardobrien9948]

Letterman asked ridiculous questions. Jim Brown maintained his dignity non the less

[@paulthomasmiller1842]

RIP 🙏

[@mactheknife7049]

Franco Harris never did pass Jim Brown on the rushing yardage list. He made the error in judgment of going to Dan Rooney and asking for a huge raise, whereupon the Steelers promptly released him. And while the incident didn't cause a permanent rift in his relationship with the team, Harris ended his career with a very forgettable season with the Seattle Seahawks.

Quick on the upload

[@marckaminsky5608]

Jim Brown could have gained a thousand yards rushing in a season at age 50-no question about it.

[@Kevincarlloven]

The "Letterman" channel always let's me know when a celebrity dies. If I get up in the morning and see a new video on this channel, I know someone is dead.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

You mean like Charlize Theron yesterday?

[@Kevincarlloven]

@@OMGWTFLOLSMH ya, but with her, it was her career that died.

[@tonygrowley5275]

He wasn't serious. No team would even consider hiring a 48 year old!

I mean the Raiders did have George Blanda at 48 so...

Jim Brown

[@michaelbraddock5728]

Play all Jim brown's movies, sell merch, member of the Cleveland browns and my photos

[@musicman76enator]

Jim Brown is one of the greatest running backs of all time. My personal GOAT pick is Walter Payton but Jim is probably 2nd GOAT. He is most definitely one of the greatest football players ever for sure. He also did an excellent job playing defensive coordinator Montezuma in Any Given Sunday a.k.a. one of the best movies ever about pro football. He was an ambassador to the game, an icon in Cleveland, and a legendary historical figure to the world. There will never be another Jim Brown. Rest in Peace, Jim. Thank you for the memories. We will miss you. 🏈

[@NotTimWakefield]

I don't think he's going to play in the NFL again.

[@musicman76enator]

He can play in the Heaven Football League

[@Frankincensedjb123]

"going to"? You act like this was recorded yesterday. LOL!

[@David_USF]

Wow.. nothing gets by you! 🎓

[@D.D.-ud9zt]

He's getting ready this summer. Is in excellent shape!

[@MrDuds1984]

He was worried about Franco break the record the next season (84) he should have been worried about Payton who actually did break it the next season.

[@PhilMoskowitz]

He complained about Harris running out of bounds to avoid hits. Yet that was Brown's philosophy too.

[@galesayers]

@@PhilMoskowitz Incorrect. Jim Brown never purposely ran out of bounds in his life.

[@NiqueFajors]

He never "worried" about another man.

[@galesayers]

Brown had bottomless respect for Walter Payton. Brown hated the way Franco was chipping away at the record by running out of bounds.
