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.

[@Dud-in9iu]

Jim Carrey was definitely one of the funniest and consistent actors of all time. He made tons of movies and nearly all of them were pure gold. Glad I got the chance in life to grow up in the 90s with comedic talent like his.

[@TheBella2u]

Was? Still is, just not practicing as much I guess. He should do standup.

[@paulaharrisbaca4851]

And now he's become a total liberal shill because he has to be that to stand a chance at getting any work in Hollywood. It's so sad that so many comedians from the 80's-90's simply cannot be funny because of the insane woke SJWs who get as offended as Chairman Xi about Winnie-the-Pooh jokes. I simply don't get why women and soy boys are acting so strangely these days. Spaying & neutering the kids. WTF

[@TheBella2u]

[@ScottDaddyMac]

For the first 4 minutes David Letterman was just sort of in a auto-pilot interviewer mode, doing the polite laughs at Jim Carey's jokes, but when Jim started doing the Broderick Crawford bit, it totally struck a chord with Letterman. You could see his demeanor change and his laughter was genuine. Watching him riff with Jim doing the impersonation was awesome to watch.

[@philburns5656]

Rarely seen a showmaster enjoying his own show this much. Lovely!!

Jim Carrey was just such a movie giant in the 90s. You couldn’t go just about anywhere without eventually him being brought up. Even at school, other kids would talk about him.

[@jeanphilskij8397]

Not so. You've heard Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Tarantino, all the bad ass actors, but not comedy ones. The 90's was more of a music scene. Strangely, his best was Ace Ventura 1. in this one, He's the absolute insane man.

[@laporziuncula]

@@jeanphilskij8397disagree. Jim Carrey was just as big of a name, if not bigger, than the ones you mentioned. Tarantino, for example, was certainly respected, but he didn’t just pop up in regular conversations. Carrey 100% did. The 90s really was a golden age for comedy, lol. You must have been living under a rock.

While Robin’s humanity and realness would steep out into our his comedy and into our hearts. His comedy has a certain power. They’re both awesome in different ways, but, Robin had something special. Still miss him.

When all is said and done Jim Carrey in the 90s might be the most successful comedic run of any actor in film history.

Given that their entire skill set is based on taking both long and short positions at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the unique information and analysis they have, it's practically impossible to underperform.
