Thanks for putting this out there. It made my day! WATCHED 10/16/2023 (28 years later).

Most welcome. David (or his managers) are slowly claiming copyright on these shows (no issue there). Once in a while, along with the claim, he/they choose to block a video as well.

..Thank You so much, 'gimmieandidicanuse' ! ..I stumbled across a partial version of this episode several months ago, but the picture was much too distorted to enjoy (you couldnt make out the faces) ..ever since then, I've been searching for a crystal-clear version of this particular episode... ..after what had seemed to be a losing cause, I found it early this morning ! (11/21/2020) ..Thanks again for posting this ! (and, I like your Ellen Barkin episode, too ! ) :)

You're most welcome, Robin. I have a wide, varied archive of material. More Letterman shows will be covered as time allows. It's a process to view material, capturing video and rendering for YT.

I was also in the balcony that day, being on standby. I had seats below the next night, with Richard Simmons. I guess I was annoyed that William Shatner was supposed to be there for this show, but bailed. Cybill was his replacement, I think.

Probably is at least one factor in their losing so many stronger affiliates in the mid-90s.

Hate to say this, but this is around the time when Letterman (and his crew) seemed to be out of ideas and had a hard time keeping things fresh After two strong years (1993 & 1994), by the time Fall of 1995 came around Letterman was consistently finishing in 3rd place behind Leno and Nightline. Tons of jokes fell flat in the monologue and even a few bits at the desk also went right over the head of the audience (and the viewers too). Compound the fact that CBS had terrible shows compared to what NBC was offering at the time, and it just turned into a nightmare for Dave. IMO he never recovered, and was on cruise control from about '97 - 2015. The energy he had from 93-96 never came back.

I had this exact same thought, but didn't know when to put a date on it. I almost felt like the show felt different before and after 9/11, but 1995 onwards was a more relaxed but struggling Letterman that couldn't match the fresh and intense energy he had from about the mid 80s to the mid 90s. It's kind of sad to be honest.

@jedijones Жыл бұрын

It's not like his monologues always landed in the '80s either. Or that every remark he made at the desk went over well back then. I just watched one from 1987 or so when the audience was basically dead throughout all his jokes. I don't see a problem with this episode, but I agree it got worse later. If I recall, Leno dove headfirst into O.J. jokes, while Letterman held back for a long time, thinking it was inappropriate. I think that played a big part in Leno capturing more audience. He was capturing the zeitgeist of what people wanted to hear from comedy at that time. And, of course, Leno had stronger lead-ins from NBC's more successful primetime programming. Letterman's highest ratings were when his show was airing after the 1994 Winter Olympics on CBS. Near the end of his CBS run, his show was still earning more ad revenue than all of his competitors, so the lower ratings weren't exactly a debacle for the show. My feeling on what changed about the show is that Letterman made a shift from being a bad boy rebel to being Hollywood royalty. It played out like a political revolution. His supporters loved him when he was an underdog, and loved taking the victory lap with him when he finally became king of late night. The Drew Barrymore flashing in 1995 was probably the peak of his victory lap. But, after that, the story is over, and there's nowhere to go from there. Whatever criticism people had of the establishment when they started backing the rebels now gets redirected on the rebels themselves, once they become the leaders. Now they're the ones who are in the position of facing criticism for using their power ineffectively. With early Letterman, you never knew if he was going to offend a guest, or if they were going to offend him. That changed after CBS, when no celebrity would dare risk offending him, and when he was too powerful to "punch down" at other celebrities and still look good doing it. If he interrupted someone else's show with a megaphone in the '80s, they could get really mad at him, but they couldn't anymore after he became royalty. At the same time, the show seemed to focus more on celebrities now that it was in a competitive battle for ratings in the 11:30 slot. I lost interest in the show because I stopped caring about listening to Hollywood actors. It seemed like he dealt less with regular people in the 2000s. And there was less originality coming out of his comedy bits. I could be wrong, as I really didn't watch the show in the 2000s, and didn't even watch the final episode.

Yet there were classic segments during the last decade but I admit I want to see the NBC shows more than the CBS episodes. Finally, in my opinion when David had serious interviews with guests he was insightful and asked very interesting, probing questions that often cut to the chase. I specifically remember Oprah was a guest and was expecting the typical jokester asking about her girls' school in Africa and it took her awhile and they ended having a very good interview. His segment with Airplane pilot Sully Sulenberg was another example of a very good intelligent interview.
