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.

I just LUV Ricky Gervais! Man! If we can't get over our quirks and laugh at ourselves we are lost!

[@thelettermanpodcast]

Last night’s GG ceremony showed that having someone else trying to say things that Ricky might say isn’t the answer. Gervais just has that combination of razor sharp, precise wit and delivery and simply not caring about consequences. It’s very similar to Dave’s disposition early on in his career in many respects.

[@georgewashington1621]

If he was he would have been making fun of Letterman like Rickles did with Johnny Carson. What Ricky said on the Golden Globes was absolute truth about that audience of self absorbed narcissists. He said what everyone already knows about these actors.

I was such a huge fan of the American office and didn't realize it was a adaptation of a British show until much later along with who Ricky gervais was, but after binging the original office i couldn't believe how good it was. Ricky gervais is a comical genius such brilliant writer and impeccable timing. What he did at the Golden globes was one of the funniest things I've ever watched i regularly go back to watching highlights of it and it never gets old actually it gets more relevant through the years😅

[@redsquirrel1086]

Ricky Gervais' strength is that he simply doesn't care. It's very difficult to offend a person who doesn't give a damn.

[@bodsnvimto]

Ricky is a very funny man. I well remember, just after his second Golden Globes when Hollywood wanted to lynch him, Letterman - someone himself with a true nose for the funny - was one of the first to publicly stand behind him. I genuinely believe that they've been friends of sorts ever since. There certainly seems a natural affinity in that relationship.
