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.

[@markgough3337]

I was lucky enough to be sitting dead centre in the 4th row. What a show. Almost 7 years ago. Felt like yesterday. What a legacy. Thanks Dave and crew.

[@leogrogan1923]

I am SOOOOOOOO jealous!!! Ok, I was sitting in the end zone when Franco caught the Immaculate Reception.

[@davidrichter9164]

You lucky sod.

[@flensoest]

Lol legacy. Just a talk show host

[@AmideusTV]

Everyone else: There to roast Dave. Julia Louis-Dreyfus: There to roast Seinfeld.

[@deanronson6331]

I think most YT users didn't get Julia's joke regarding Seinfeld's series finale, which was panned by critics.

[@KentDiego]

Note to editors: There is no need to trim these down so much. A few extra seconds of applause and a bit of extra banter can only make this better. No reason to cut it short.

[@dixol]

Then they’d have to pay for music rights.

[@229BlackHat]

@@dixol While this is an absolutely fantastic point, there are also moments in here like for example in between Dave saying Barbara Walters and her saying the line. In the full clip, there’s a drumroll and applause, and Barbara walks out too far and misses the mark, and it’s really funny watching her walk back and then start to say the line, but they cut it out here. That kind of stuff is what I think Kent was referring to.

[@pab1381]

Here here

[@michaelblanchette2787]

Keep them short, some of us have stuff to do

[@Jeff2EZ]

Thank you, Kent Diego

[@lindseywalker6925]

Back in the early 80's I paid over $300 for a VHS recorder just to not miss one episode of Dave!! It came on too late back then.

[@GD-rd6ig]

For me it got to the point I would go to sleep with my alarm set for 12:30

[@Rextum]

Good ones. In this case Julia’s was my favourite, absolute savage! Jerry’s (fake) reaction made it even better😄

An all-star lineup you would ordinarily only see at a Hollywood funeral...

[@bluebear1985]

2:50 Well played, Julia. 😁

[@mangafq8]

Oh and Jerry seemed rather displeased with her comment. He wasn't laughing. 😂

[@Nathan-gd7xq]

​@@mangafq8 that's called "playing along".

[@TimCarter]

Jerry pretended to be mad, but he's such a bad actor. :D

[@themagicofd]

I really miss this show. Thanks for the clips guys, they keep me laughing and sane.

[@paulpolpiboon9535]

The best

[@laureencriss8220]

Yep. It all went downhill from there. Like SNL, They shouldn't be able to keep the name.

[@callumtbjones]

All these years later and the finale still gives me the feels

[@PopeLando]

Now I see whom Dave got the idea for the long beard from. Jim Carrey!

[@paulpolpiboon9535]

Man that last shot is like the Justice League of America for Hollywood celebs!

[@ChrisS-if7ev]

Miss you Letterman! One of only a handful of shows I never missed, hardly ever.

[@Tommyr]

So much talent in such a small space! All winners!

[@tammyharris11]

I say this on every one of these but I'm going to say it one more time, my life is not been the same since David Letterman left TV!

[@laureencriss8220]

TV hasn't been the same since he left TV.

[@JPMJPM]

Wow! What a golden moment for television.

[@johnphelan4215]

I've been searching KZbin for a list I know I once saw called "Top 10 words rarely heard on the NBC Nightly News." The only two I remember were "chocolicious" and "Walter Mondale," so it must have been very early on. Not sure why I have become obsessed with this, but I would love to see it again.

[@tomitstube]

only letterman could bring in these a-listers.

[@mikea3273]

Gotta say, Peyton nailed the timing.

[@MS-ss1dv]

Peyton is really funny. He has hosted and made guest appearances on SNL and always knocks it out of the park (wrong sport, I know 🤣).

[@Hexon66]

He's no Barbara Walters, though.

[@ClausB252]

Wow, a stage full of funny people, and Jim Carrey too!

[@randyw.9916]

It really says something about Dave when you look at that line up. That’s very impressive.

[@whoamellie5610]

Seeing Dave at his ol' desk again, and his old set...makes me a little sick with nostalgia & wishing so much we could all have everything the show was, - back (Dave & company too of course ✌💜). I'm so glad I ordered a Dave mug back when the show was on (same as the dark blue one on his desk, in the later years).. I look at it after I use it & always remember how his stage floor was about the same color..💜😘 And can instantly hear him standing doing the monologue..making jokes about New York squirrels & their nuts 😅😅/it was soo hot today, that the squirrels were putting sunscreen on their nuts 😊Or the latest spotting of Times Square Spiderman.. Those were good days 💙❤ ..And always asking Paul questions at his desk segment :) It never mattered what he was talkin bout generally, or asking Paul - I always said to myself.. 'Alright, let's hear it Dave..' 😊😘😘💜💙 ..Wish we didn't have to lose Alan Kalter last year too, though :L Thinking of you too, Alan! 😘✌

[@johnbanks4761]

such a shame he isnt on the air anymore..after conan left..noone else worth watching or listening to anymore

[@chrisitalia8868]

I always think I'm over how georgious Tina fey is, then I see her again

[@BenevolentInstigator]

And you realize she doesn't look like George at all !! Georgious??

[@luthersaldana]

We know that the word comes from Old French gorgias, meaning "elegant," but beyond that it's hard to say for sure. It might have something to do with fancy necklaces adorning the throat - la gorge in French. If calling someone gorgeous isn't enough, pack some extra punch and say "drop-dead gorgeous" instead.

[@whoamellie5610]

Thoroughly enjoyed the 2 replies above this comment I'm saying. :D Hahah. Nice. Both of you 😊 Well done, hahah. Informative ~and~ enteraining! 😆 No wonder you're Dave fans ✌👏💙✌

[@mangafq8]

Really?

[@KOSMICKEN09]

Gorgeous 😃 - spell check 😁

[@Jimmersaunt]

I miss Letterman so much!

[@dimitreze]

maybe don't edit the clips too much next time the whole introduction was funny too it's not like youtube is charging for the minute uploaded

[@bradpreston7779]

Sadly, I think they have to edit the clips or pay royalties to the music publisher(s). It’s a shame, because it diminishes Paul’s large contribution to the show. You see the same type of editing on Johnny Carson’s official channel. Doc who?

[@kenlompart9905]

Dave definitely saved his best top 10 list for last.

[@DelightLovesMovies]

Wow that's so cool. Those people really loved him.

What a gathering of the mid-2000's comedy elite in one spot. Ironically, Peyton Manning's line was one of the funniest.

Hey Dave! Rock ON!

[@jamesvandemark2086]

Magnificent- sorry I missed it the first time!

[@voiceofraisin241]

I must be one of the few that thought Seinfelds final show was good. And the only one to make a comment about something other than Dave’s show.

[@bossfan49]

The only thing disappointing was the ending scene of them sitting there in the jail cell. I get the idea of bookending the series..but it was anti-climactic. There was no big laugh at the end.

[@IDontBuyIt50]

@@bossfan49 There were some great moments on the witness stand with various side characters, but most of it sucked. I actually loved the final scene more than any other part, because it was the throw back to the pilot. Plus, I did have a big laugh at Elaine dramatically telling Puddy not to wait for her and him giving her the....Ok, and quickly turning his head.

[@daviderickson8699]

I'm always the one defending it in conversation. I thought it was perfect - the karma of all their years of self-centered tunnel vision and mindless jabber coming back around. Like, I never really thought about what terrible people they were while I was enjoying the laughs, but they literally put them on trial for exactly that. Still, in the final scene, "Even Steven" Jerry just floats along. Technically JLD is correct in saying is was "disappointing" for many, but I found it brilliant.

[@clauditorium]

Nine huge stars, and... some guy named Peyton Manning.

[@SeptemberChild1835]

[@jeffreyharris3440]

Wow, Barbara Walters does not know how to tell a joke. Which is interesting, because "The View" is one of the biggest jokes in TV Broadcast History.
