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.

I was at this show! I filled out an application online and I was surprised when a staffer called me some time later. I had to answer a trivia question for the ticket, “Who is the stage manager?” Of course I had been watching the show since the beginning and “Biff Henderson” was the easy answer. I got to sit in the front row! 🎉 Jim Carrey and Steve Winwood? Great show I’ll never forget. Thanks for the memories, Dave.

[@chemicalbrother7613]

Today, it is clear to me that "Eternal Sunshine" is one of the best films of this century so far, with brilliant script, directing, acting, and music. I only wish Jim Carrey would be fortunate enough to be a part of something equally magical again. He is immensely gifted as an actor and a human.

[@al112v4]

Kauffman is a genius. One of his most accesible movies to date.

[@theshapeexists]

Its one of my favorite movies if all time

[@belgamsafn]

@@mickrozycki451 Well he was being a clown in batman, and Jim doesn't vibe with everyone

[@jonconnington8987]

Well he has retired apparently, although i'm pretty sure he said he was retiring years ago and still did movies here and there.

Until then, you can watch The Truman Show again 😉

Wow, that Madonna "I'm 60 and I'm sexy" rip...came true.

[@ytzpilot]

The no talking felt very much like an Andy Kaufman prank😂

[@rebelofbabylon3091]

Craig Ferguson did this as a regular segment at the end of every interview 😅

[@flarkjohnson6785]

The audience ruined the bit by laughing and clapping the whole time. Would have been weirder and funnier if they weren't talking and the only sound was the ambient noise of the studio.

[@jv-lk7bc]

I think we've seen the birth of the "Awkward Pause" that Fergussen would later make famous.

[@YouTube-tied]

One of the very few people I've ever seen that can make you happy and usually make you laugh your ass off every time you see him. Thank God he had the upbringing he did that helped his will to become a professional performer, otherwise he likely would have channeled his mania into negativity and wound up in a mental hospital and the world would not know of his gifts.

[@MasterofDisater]

Yeah… That’s exactly what happened to me. LOL! Just kidding around like Jim! Have a good day friend! 😁🤪🤪🤪👍✌️

[@kamks6054]

Incredible the imitation of Lance Armstrong by Jim on his bike, its perfect, so funny when I saw that. and flankly He is talented

[@KevinMakins]

Wow what a hilarious performance in the first part. And the silence... wow. The crowd couldn't even handle it. And then right into the promotion of Eternal Sunshine (perhaps my favourite film of all time). Incredible. Can't believe I have never seen this before. A very meta performance, decades before this kind of stuff would be mainstream.

[@kstepko]

Jim is a hilarious talk show guest!

[@chasehedges6775]

He’s a legend

[@Maliceah]

His energy reminds me of Robin Williams, who was also uncontrollable. The difference is that Jim planned all this out.

I noticed that....and if you watch enuf older clips of Jim on talk shows, he predicted a lot.of other things... My belief is that creativity is a conduit....and different types of Intuition bleed through... It's like when you pour noodles into a strainer, there's always some that squeak through the gaps and go down the sink....

[@ToVeesAnEss]

i was looking for that comment :)

[@c.a.k.comedy692]

@@ghost9-9ghost Jim Carrey said his soul was not contained in his body, his body was contained inside of his soul, and his soul is the world around him. If you connect yourself to the larger world then everything becomes you and you will probably be able to predict a few things due to that connection

I was 18, the girl I desperately loved had gotten pregnant and midway through I found she was cheating on me and left. My life felt ruined before it even began. It was the strongest heartbreak I had ever experienced. I decided to go to the movies alone that night and saw this film. I will never forget that.

Not often you hear someone quoting The Exorcist but he used the line perfectly here.

I remember him showing up to the Kids Choice Awards a few weeks after this. I was 100% sure that it was coming off of A Series of Unfortunate Events, something to do with making the makeup and costuming easier as Olaf considering all his different disguises. I’d even bet it was in early regrowth at this point

He had to let it all out before he could have a decent conversation. He is funny but intertwined with a intelligence, wit and slight madness.
