Fan Request: Dave Tweets At Jimmy Fallon And Jimmy Kimmel | Letterman

Fan Friday Request:
"Hi there. Long time listener, first time caller.
Dave did this desk bit where he was typing out a tweet to send to all the other late night hosts, all while looking like it's his first time behind a computer screen. He even threw in a Hash Tag to make it extra trendy.
Jacob J.
Tucson, AZ"
(From "Late Show," air dates: 12/12/11, 12/13/11, 12/15/11, 12/20/11)

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 artisanally-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.

[@QuantumBraced]

He actually spelled out "hash tag", did not tweet @ anyone, didn't even press send, and it took him 2 minutes to type 2 words. 😂And he thought "Following" was the number of people following Late Show. 😄They should have made this a regular segment, Dave with technology.

[@robertjohns1675]

That's because Dave recognized social media for what it is .....silly

[@facelessmanxlt]

Hash Tag. s'up? the look from paul at 9:20 is excellent comedic timing

[@jmaxxtv9912]

"So much less time than a phone call..." 🤣🤣

[@joeslider6663]

Only Dave can milk this material over many episodes. Genius!

[@moniemaker27]

Don’t blame Conan

[@vrvaughn]

Why not?

[@edk2221]

“I mean, in the thousands and thousands of words which have been printed about this, who has blamed Conan? NO ONE! NO ONE!”

[@afatalvendetta]

I was thinking of blaming Conan.

[@craigcampbell1843]

I was blaming Conan, until I saw this comment.

[@hojichaisfarsuperiortochai9309]

Nah! It’s 100% Conan’s fault. Poor Jay.

[@AdamSmalley]

When he spelled out hash tag I lost it.

[@d.e.7467]

Painful, simply painful. Because I laughed so much. 🤣

[@julianrdz]

This was a big moment culturally when it happened. It was in the papers for weeks. It’s amazing how fast technology move.

[@winonafrog]

In an odd way, Dave is still here and “Twitter” is not.

[@NevinNolte]

This was back when Twitter was more a fun hang and less a hellacious, neverending baron landscape of trolls, idiots, and sports reporters.

[@discosecret6363]

A true comedic maestro.

[@HotPantsMcGee]

"Hash tag. S'up boys?" Solid gold.

[@CJFerg81]

It's fascinating to see the number of @LateShow followers climbing throughout the week of this Twitter saga: Monday: 88,008 Tuesday: 91,460 Wednesday/Thursday: 104,038 2nd Monday: 111,871

[@NicholasMoreau]

Paul at 9:21, shaking his head, needs to be the next reaction GIF.

[@tbx59]

One of my favorite moments.

[@dominicl99]

One of the best bits ever. I just noticed they followed 17 people the first night, 16 the second.

[@thelettermanpodcast]

It’s like being at one of those ‘assisted living’ places.

[@steverado87]

Hangin' and bangin'!! 🤣

[@QuantumBraced]

2011 wasn't even that early in the history of Twitter/social media, from this clip you'd think this was some early technology demo from 1998. 😄

[@winonafrog]

Yes, Dave’s working at the flipphone level 😅. I would have guessed 2008ish, hmph.

[@williambrackin]

This running bit of Letterman not understanding Twitter proved he was still on top of the comedy world, even when the two Jimmys began to take off in popularity. Absolutely hilarious!

[@gubernatorial1723]

He captures the silliness of Twitter from its first moment as a complete outsider.

[@michaelparks6120]

I have yet to send a single tweet.

[@assmane999]

I’m a proud member of that club as well, sir!

[@siriuzbiz]

Same here! Thank God

[@akfreed6949]

Classic TV at it's best . Now there's NOTHING on TV anymore . 📺

[@johnking5174]

Dave with a laptop reminded me of my mom with a laptop - they have no idea how even the basics work.

[@hinthegroove9740]

Simplicity was so damn funny

[@morethan3756]

Dave's typing speed is 0pm.

[@cmet8280]

I miss the old days when I could watch Dave and Craig, Now I keep switching back and forth from three network's just trying to find something entertaining but it's usually a fail!

[@chrisfreeman7936]

I haven't seen this clip in awhile it's funny

[@aaronschuelke30]

Hash tag

One word, "Dude" That is all it takes.

"audience very forgiving agree we need more jewish presidents" what? lmao

Hash tag! Enjoyed movie, severe lack of monkey/dog?,

[@carl_d_music]

Only Dave can make this funny

[@mhill3350]

Looks like me and my husband at our computer!🧓👵😂

[@craigcampbell1843]

Not even Quest Love?!?

[@brendanleonard8860]

Big fan here! I just got my Madonna tickets and would love to celebrate by watching her 2009 appearance, riding in on the Rangers and enjoying a New York slice! Not even parmesan!?

[@bunnie12345]

OMG - Dave - miss ;you!

[@jlynn468]

The best!

[@MaxFleye]

I would like to formally request a compilation of Dave's squirrel/nut jokes 👍👍

[@UncleBernhard]

This is great television! I wonder why he ever quit!

Monkeys are funny!

This is better today. Hihi

Dude

[@thelettermanpodcast]

Sup.

[@RoxStar1968]

If you look closely to the right side of Dave's laptop screen, you can see a bunch of tweets making fun of Donald Trump for dropping out of moderating a Republican Presidential Debate in December 2011. Kind of a spooky glimpse into the future considering this is an 11 year old clip.

[@1craley878]

This was so funny and way more entertaining than Fallon

[@allendracabal0819]

I bet the people who were in charge of The Late Show's Twitter account at that time were not overly thrilled with him sending those tweets. Funny stuff, though.

[@thelettermanpodcast]

This made the network ‘sad.’

[@icarlota]

Oh man, good times when social media was just starting. Hash Tag: neverforget

[@andrewseow7791]

Dave is Priceless 😘😘😘

[@nancyd1823]

[@Obiter3]

Boo

[@vrvaughn]

NBC ruined its late night shows with too many SNL alumni.

[@YodatheHobbit]

Talk about an incoherent argument.

[@thesilvershining]

No, lol. Wow.

[@dehydratedwater9806]

Just dropped in to say I'm not watching anything with Jimmy Fallon on it.

[@porcorosso999]

"Giggling boy in the back"

[@nikobatallones]

Don’t worry, he isn’t here.

[@hoozle]

It's worth enduring the fact of his existence to enjoy Dave trolling him

[@dehydratedwater9806]

@@nikobatallones thanks! Now I'm going to watch it.

[@thesilvershining]

Wow, aren’t you special…

[@holderbee7811]

At least they changed to Mac for no reason, it matches Dave's cluelessness

[@LandonLovette]

Now I know what it was like to work in Trump and Biden's White House.

I was lucky enough to be in the audience that night!! Thanks for the memory, love this channel!!

“Outdated tweeting equipment”. 🤣

"Not even *Quest* Love?" - Paul Schafer

[@dspiffy]

It took me too long to realize Dave was being deliberately bad at Twitter.

[@NicholasMoreau]

Mary and Barbara: The next time that Dave is a guest on The Barbara Gaines Show, can we get a confirmation of whether this was an act or not? He obviously continued the bit for comedic effect, but did your frequent guest actually have more computer skills than he was letting on?

[@gubernatorial1723]

@@NicholasMoreau I don't think it's an act.

[@assmane999]

It honestly is not really an act: Dave just recognized it was inherently funny watching him trying to figure something out that jade no sense to him

[@robertmaeurerofficial]

If Dave was bad at something he was bad he couldn't fake or lie at all

[@ThePeej]

Absolute silence… NO GRAB ASS WHILE I’M DOING THIS!

This is one of my favourite bits.

Conan, Kimmel and Letterman. A late-night giants interview.

Fantastic call back.

[@MissylovesTrouble]

I remember all of these! I was rolling the first time around. Brilliant "Hash Tag. S'up boys? Hangin' and bangin;." I guess he wasn't hangin' with his main man Rudy?

[@dannygraham304]

Someone should dig up these old tweets so we can repost them!

Of course Kimmel responded right away, he's a huge fan of Dave

[@kanejacobs1889]

Really?

[@godzillatimmy]

I loved that Dave didn't know that you have to mention accounts for that person to see what you tweeted otherwise you're just tweeting into space and hope they see it

[@lifeofdazz]

Some are the same years on tweeter blah 😀

[@lynnturman8157]

"Dave: I entered four tweets to Jimmy Fallon & nobody called back. Paul: Not even Questlove? Dave: I don't know what that is." Okay, boomer

I love Dave but as someone in IT ... I couldn't finish watching. The whole flash-back thing ...
