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.

Matt Damon is a great talent, and doesn't seem to take himself too seriously. Awesome sense of humor and great impression of his actor bud.

[@jdarrah17]

My cousin met him and hung out a bit. He said Matt is really friendly and funny, easygoing, and cool.

[@timthompson8297]

He’s pretty damn cool.

[@user-gj9ze1mb7w]

watch him do Cavanaugh the best impression ever.

[@jeremyvanbriesies1940]

I like Matt Damon ...Such a mature and proffesional dude

[@TwoWrights]

8:59 for the impression.

[@asdfjkl7430]

I was looking for this, thanks.

[@qazmko22]

thx

[@hanskoekoek8262]

Thank you

[@aternialaffsalot]

Hero

[@corabernal6432]

Spot on 😁❤️🤟

[@LK-bz9sk]

The whole interview was great and the impression. He knocked it out of the park.

[@rhondafortson5205]

Matt Damon is a Class Act. It goes without saying that he is a fantastic actor; however, he seems to be an even better person!!

[@user-di4cr9hb4i]

Matt has grown up so nicely!

[@Dr_Jim57]

weird comment

[@lookin-up]

Great actor and not a phony! He's enough as he is and comfortable in his own skin! Fantastic!

[@Sarah-LBLB]

In France, we love him too so much, Matt Damon and Brad Pitt too, I've seen them during a lot of their interviews in Tv show here. Matt is a brillant actor but also very humble/chill and interesting to listen.

[@soloa24]

The way David built up the impression is really funny.😂

[@neha27294]

Matt is so cute and charming, one can watch him for hours❤

[@MajorTrubble]

It is so nice to see such a great actor as a person , David Letterman is a great host .

[@freeadrian1144]

OK. Raise your hands. How many people thought the impression would involve "All right. All right. All right!" but were surprised and delighted when it didn't?

[@MysticOracle]

I thought so too, but they kept going on about his shirt being off so I figured it was something else.

[@meimei117]

Well even though he said it in Dazed and Confused, his Oscar win was what made it famous and that happened way after this interview (this is 2006).

[@thelettermanpodcast]

Hmmm? Oh sorry, was just busy taking our shirt off.

[@Peakerenc-bb1du]

Only you and a few other idiots that are likely lying.

[@Famous5821]

Nope I came here for it and was disappointed that there was no "Alright Alright Alright"😂 I even forwarded to peek....but none and I am sad (God dammit). But Matt Damon continues to impress me.

[@susanmerenda5666]

Love Matt Damon and his work.

[@patriciahappnie1115]

I enjoyed this after an interview she’s so down to earth and regular I can’t get enough

[@brendashotwell1405]

Yeah Matt, congratulations 🎈🎉 ❤❤❤😊

[@tomcruise4771]

Hello Brenda are you also one of my lovely supporters out here?

[@joesaviano5049]

Matt is pure class

[@shvideo1]

Matt is a superstar. Thank you for the Bournes movies and the awesome Goodwill Hunting. You are a natural.

[@shahartley]

The best Matthew McConaughey impression I ever saw.

[@kamuelalee]

That's very strong

[@bradatherton9369]

Alright Alright alllright

[@voighta]

That’s high praise

[@CissaBlack]

Tremendous.

[@corabernal6432]

Tony going off in Spanish is priceless 😆🎉😎❤️

[@pamelalagree-kanotz6845]

Don't understand why thatvhappened

[@HieronymusLudo]

This may have been his best time as an actor too, I feel. He was really good at the more introverted roles, like Good Shepherd and even Bourne in a way... projecting power with silence.

[@artanisknarf]

Finally, I can be one of those people who say “I was at that show!” It was a fun experience, but took up so much of the day waiting in about 3 different lines at 3 different times! Barbara Walters was the other guest.

[@kamuelalee]

Did you take your shirt off?

[@thelettermanpodcast]

Woah! GREAT show to have seen in person! Babs was classic.

[@davec6016]

Different strokes. Funny moment, but you'd have to pay me a LOT for the hassle of being there in person. I just got to see it ( in better video and audio ) for free from the comfort of my bed.

[@tashie6288]

9:27 gets to the impression part

[@jessjhons5260]

Thank you!

[@LNSLateNightSaturday]

I remember watching this at the time, and TO THIS DAY I still randomly pop off in hot weather - "...Probably get more chicks if we took our shirts off.".

[@thelettermanpodcast]

This habit is sure to lead to weird and wonderful adventures.

[@tammylawrenz1208]

I enjoyed that! I miss Letterman. Nice quality video too! And the impression was very funny!

[@marymathis9299]

You GO, Matt!!! That was so cool!!! Loved it...hope you practice up and do a few more. Maybe you and Tom Hanks can pair up on something, he's not bad at all on impressions!!! ❤❤❤

[@tomcruise4771]

Hello Mary are you also one of my lovely supporters out here?

[@BoorayPerry]

It's always great when Dave would so obviously love some little thing that a guest would do and then make them do it every time they were on the show. I saw this when it aired and I'm pretty sure he made Matt do it every time after. I also would love whenever Rosie Perez was on and her would make her say, "Izuzu Trooper." And, of course, Kevin Spacey always had to do Carson.

[@thelettermanpodcast]

Drew with the Space Monkey.

[@harripickering2835]

I hadn't heard about Spacey and Carlson, but after hearing the other allegations I'm not surprised

[@Tercerdivisa1]

The impression is at 9:28 if you're wondering

[@abehaile2659]

Thank you!

[@WednesdaysDragon]

Matt is almost like a brother to us all, I think of Robin Williams and Adam Sandler that way, too! Very approachable people! Family!

[@flyjarrett]

Could it be that Damon used his McConaughey voice for his role as Carroll Shelby in Ford v. Ferrari?

[@jt.8144]

3:48 SOUND-GUY: "Cue the Pots and Pans crashing and the Glasses and Dishes shattering".

[@ladalekoehler2176]

He did a great impression.

[@paulmorvantjr.8072]

Exactly. Just wonder why he seemed so reticent to do it.

[@roxannestapleton-whyms6925]

Such excellence, wonderful fun and massively talented actor. I'm a huge fan!

[@kdlofty]

Never heard of anybody describing their wedding ceremony "Getting it over with". Lol.

[@davec6016]

if you would ask every married person you meet, I bet you'd hear it a lot. I was happy to get it over with. Many people want to be married, but have zero interest in a wedding. Nothing wrong with that. It's the people who are excited about the wedding, but not real interested in the marriage, that are in trouble.

[@unrulyjulie4382]

My husband and I did the same thing. Just one of my step-sons was our witness. We did it on the spur of the moment to keep his mom from taking over our wedding. It was the second one for both of us and we were in our 40's. We did have a kick ass reception about a month later though!

[@megmodaff5989]

He actually said "nipped it in the bud"😂

[@stephanielabbate7853]

Matt is delightful ❤. Watching him since “School Ties”

[@tomcruise4771]

Hello Stephanie are you also one of my lovely supporters out here?

[@brand_warwick]

James Marsden wipes the floor with everyone else’s McConaughey impression

[@joelfine1177]

100% the best ever actually just watched it again.

[@sumtxdude9974]

That was impressive. Had you not been watching the video you would swear you were hearing McConaughey.

[@bgcs6275]

Never ever gets old! ✌️🫶

[@lindakaye7935]

It would be awesome if you could interview some of the celebrities and have them comment on their favorite appearances. Kind of like you do with the staff.

[@harrykadaras9459]

Like him or not, Dave is truly brilliant

[@ceciliahink6611]

Excellent !!!

[@tomcruise4771]

Hello Cecilia are you also one of my lovely supporters out here?

[@jt.8144]

Good days back then.. when I saw this on TV.

[@DoopDaloop]

David made me watch this whole thing.

[@44alwaysrightjlp]

Letterman is the most interruptive hose on TV, the guests can hardly get a word in.

[@timwalters8951]

Bill Maher is!!!

[@randallreid424]

Perfect

[@katmarino4120]

Loved david and matt..🤗😂😍

[@maximuscassius3121]

Such a grounded actor...who married a hostess with a child...I've always liked Mattt

[@merricat3025]

And still married to her

[@DoopDaloop]

Freaking fantastic.

[@user-sz4rb9ou7n]

You have become such an incredible person.

[@brt-jn7kg]

Fast forward to 9 minutes and 38 seconds that's where he says it

[@jddeines6939]

I’m beginning to love this guy.

[@henryschutze98]

[@NikhilTanna15]

Letterman enjoys Matt Damon doing a Matthew Mcconaghey impression.. I enjoy watching lettermen enjoy Matt Damon doing a Matthew Mcconaghey impression 🤣

[@camelliaroan6341]

Lol! Matt, you definitely have his voice & personality down pat! Lol!

[@paulmathes9433]

[@or1338]

[@wisemang73]

Fantastic!

[@flyingelvis8850]

Matt Damon is WICKED SMAHT!!!

[@kimcrist7980]

Why can't talk show hosts be this good, Letterman was a master at his craft.

[@rw7051]

He does a great Damon-doing mconaghee impression.

[@sharonsolana]

Spot on!

[@tomcruise4771]

Hello Sharon are you also one of my lovely supporters out here?

[@chrislowrie4969]

Matt Damon did a whole movie in this accent… Stillwater.

[@DoopDaloop]

Wheres my coat...LOL!

[@noirjacques3274]

Whilst loved this interview, I wasn’t expecting the main focus, the impression, to come so late in the clip.

[@yolandamorlet2456]

Love him ❤️❤️

[@tomcruise4771]

Hello Yolanda are you also one of my lovely supporters out here?

[@MariaH.-op4zi]

He’s SOO handsome here wow

[@tomlichnofsky.7048]

I Like Matt Damon 😊👌👍🍁♈🍁

[@louiseju]

That's a bonafide GenX'er right there. In pure destilled form 🙂

[@nevergiveupnevergivein7655]

I saw the thumbnail of the video and thought: "Does Matt Damon not age?" Edit: Yes, I realized after starting to watch that it's nearly a decade old.

[@richardmendoza3994]

At 6:12 the "me too movement" coming after DAVE

[@FPInvention]

Hilariously awkward brilliant interview

[@charlawillson5654]

Matt is sooo handsome! So fun. And Letterman….

[@SouledOut357]

pretty good impression of Mathew - Matt

[@thelettermanpodcast]

Who is the mother and your wife? This is a sentence worth committing to memory.

[@neo8802]

Love it!

[@giovannipierre6894]

Love it😂😂😂

[@therese_paula]

I love Damon

[@DoopDaloop]

I wrote that perfect timing.

[@lullaby501]

nice one matt!

[@duncansteedman9986]

‘Who is the mother in your wife’ 😂😂

[@richardbutterfoss2353]

Let’s hear it for Ball State! RWB ❤🎉

[@wolfmansgoodies]

Thats awesome

[@rominacragnolino1287]

Just love his Argentinian accent

[@valeriepickens2533]

He doesn't know Spanish!? Wow, what an amazing job on " All the Pretty Horses"!

[@pamelanicol3703]

Great Impression

[@tomcruise4771]

Hello Pamela are you also one of my lovely supporters out here?

[@patwooster3851]

Sorry, I think David’s questions were ridiculous! I think Matt didn’t know what to say half the time.

[@kennethgoodhart1964]

Dave is funny and you are not.

[@vBDKv]

4:12 yes

[@Bloodark124]

09:00 is where the impression begins

[@dianegarciaprieto2118]

Great Matt😅❤

[@FWChannel-rr1br]

A quickie marriage with all the bride's side of the family and no one from the groom's. I guess his mother must not have been too happy about it.

[@celiaalmeidadesouza6888]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@OnlyChild68]

Letterman “oooo she’s hot”. And you’re not. Well done Matt for bringing it into the professional sphere.

[@henrik5284]

I miss Letterman

[@RickHawkDavison]

We need Dave back!

[@annettematisz46]

We need to be flexible maybe Dave is happy retired? Jimmy’s a great talk show host too.

[@kstepko]

@@annettematisz46 Not all Jimmys.

[@kamuelalee]

DAVE!

[@ltcolumbo9708]

Why?

[@lindamattioli7943]

What horrible tv currently

[@emerlabra1934]

The TALENTED MR. RIPLEY (DAMON)👍👍

[@lp5439]

I wanted to see the clip, dang it!

[@BowmanMoran]

Dave made Matt Damon so uncomfortable!

[@kunalyadav4940]

That impression was alright alright alright

[@HeyWatchMeGo]

9:05 is the spot everyone's looking for... Way too short. Click Bait.
