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.

Rest In Peace mr. Mike Schank. Hilarious and cool and by all accounts seemed to be an awesome guy. All the best to his family and to Mark. ✌️

[@John-nh5yr]

He ain’t dead wtf wrong with you

[@dmatthews7423]

awe that's a shame

[@FloraWest]

I've still got a signed VHS of "Coven". One of my best purchases.

[@DarioMalandra]

That's badass

[@willshaw3493]

Did you pay for it with your AT&T Mastercard?

[@illfcreds]

I hope you pronounce it cOven like Mark does.

[@FloraWest]

@@illfcreds Of course! Because "coven" sounds like "oven" and that's not scary.

[@chefjeff1366]

Mark Borchardt is one of the best Twitter follows you can have - super uplifting and great-natured as you'd expect

[@Flaksting]

Mike is the purest human. The best.

"American Movie" (1999)👍 • Every aspiring filmmaker should watch this documentary • Shows how much work went into making an independent film in the '90s when you have few resources, but a lot of heart ❤️🎥

[@waywardsage]

I show it to ALL my film students in my class.

Jim Mitchells tavern is still going strong in 2022!

[@alexplorer]

Such a great guy. Truly driven behind the camera and always naturally entertaining in front of it. I really wished he could have gotten a circle of supporters around him the way someone like George Lucas did, and went from "outsider artist" to auteur with big-budget backing in the industry.

[@themodsify]

I think about "an American movie" quite often. RIP MIKE!❤

[@WinterRapids]

Quite possibly the best movie ever made. The more I watch it the more I realize how profound it actually is.

[@HarvestMoon2049]

Love you, Mike. Heaven is enjoying your renditions of Bach.

[@Javmon9]

Man, glad this came up! I've been thinking about him lately. I wanted to watch the movie again and forgot what it was called and his name

[@teeveeparty]

Wow, was not expecting this segment to be posted in the channel's first year, cool!

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

This channel has been here since 2006.

[@teeveeparty]

@@OMGWTFLOLSMH they started doing regular updates this year

[@quiet451]

"American Movie" was such a foundational film for anyone seriously interested in movies in the late 90s.

[@zamiadams4343]

Mark is such a great guy, i'd love to have a beer or 10 with him, great filmmaker.

[@davidvbobb7785]

I've seen American Movie probably over 500 times.

[@davidfuller764]

Great guy that Mark and his crew

[@HaleXF11]

Hello from Wisconsin!

[@ronsandlin9618]

I remember watching American Movie and mark’s pronunciation of coven.

[@agfrench82]

$10 to see kiss is a steal

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

It's about $5 too much.

[@brigurugi]

So sad to hear about Mike. I hope he finds peaceful rest and is jamming with the greats(hopefully Randy Rhodes was there to greet you). You have been missed and will always be.

[@paulglover7048]

Mike was great!!!

[@alexandertroy9621]

I want to hang out with that guy, man.

[@christopherkotsopoulos701]

it was wild

[@themodsify]

Me too man!

[@NateGartrell]

I don’t know what it is but I love these guys since the first time I seen em on tv

[@HorseTeethModano]

RIP Mike Schank

[@markjones952]

On, Wisconsin!

[@cianfurlong6336]

Yep, brilliant documentary about Mark and Co.

[@erranttraveller]

Disemboweled Remains of Children's Brains is a stellar track off Mikes album "Songs I Know" ⚡🤘🏽⚡🤘🏽⚡🤘🏽

[@donaldewert2332]

I live in Beautiful Milwaukee!🌊

[@themodsify]

I want to see Northwestern! This will be a great movie! Mark my words!

[@ganglabesh]

roger was a huge supporter of that film. 4 out of 4 stars

[@doublelxp]

I don't think about the movie often, but I still mentally pronounce "coven" with a long O.

[@sinbysin666]

ikr, otherwise it sounds like oven, doood

[@dgisgd]

rip Mike Schank

[@quad1000]

Rest easy Mike Schank. I don't believe he ever acted at all; I think what we saw in the movies was his day-to-day personality.

[@paulglover7048]

Mike was the best!!!!

[@lobsterwhisperer7932]

Mike's scream was out of this world.

[@bopowl4413]

I wonder if it was a coincidence that this got uploaded the day before Mike passed?

[@oscaroscar7904]

Love this, big fan of american movie and him as a comiedian/filospoher even though he dont know he is one ( no offence.)

[@jfjoubertquebec]

Insperational!

[@mikealangaloe1774]

Party there, party there😂

[@kipkapper3014]

per0t was the best, and mark is just brilliant.

[@michaelparks6120]

WOW

[@russellst.martin4255]

[@alexandertroy9621]

So is he dead or what? This is the channel I look at for obituaries.

[@Javmon9]

Don't say that!

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

I call this, The David Letterman Obituary Channel.

[@NomeIndeciso]

Mike Schank 🙁 RIP. A very cool dude.

[@alexandertroy9621]

@@NomeIndeciso Now this video makes sense.

[@quiet451]

The Blu-Ray for "American Movie" is also being released on the 18th so it could also have something to do with that.

[@ZaGoudou]

Ha

[@gerrydooley951]

this is really not very funny
