Staff Favorite Moments: Stage Manager Eddie Valk | Letterman

[@SeanAllocca]

Staff Favorites is one of the best bits on this channel, please keep them coming, we love the backstories everyone tells.

[@KARIS1961]

Same. The moment I see one show up, I’m watching it and laughing.

[@christophermiller3031]

Agreed. Best segment series so far. Love that we finally get to know the Letterman Late Show Family in such a way. ❤ PS I'm 37... I have barely seen any Johnny Carson.... I am happy this won't happen to Letterman now!

[@pauls9844]

2:30 delivery of “hit the road” and swaggering off got Dave to crack.

[@JackSilbert]

Much appreciation for Eddie's dad!

[@TheJuniorMints]

Thank you Eddie, it was so nice to hear from you!!!

[@andreaudet]

That 9/11 monologue was likely the most important television segment Dave has ever done. That and all the Leno jokes.

[@Andrew-Antioch-Kim]

Don Rickles is a prime example that (timeless) comedy is ageless! PS, we miss you Don and rest in peace!

[@anothermonday5664]

fiiiinally the Chalupa bit! "It burns it burns!" 🤣🤣. But all that blood on Rupert's shoes....and in the monkey bit! Splattering on ppl in the audience. Were their clothes replaced hahhaa!!

[@nathanjarrell6479]

Thank you for your Dad's service. Hope he's doing well. ❤️

[@JayDeeIsMyName]

11:41 That was perfect! Absolutely perfect 😂

[@robclarkson5356]

Great job, Eddie, thank you!

[@scotta9735]

I don’t know why but the deli platter as a gift always made me laugh

[@Ambot51]

Outstanding. Thanks Eddie.

[@catherinegigliotti1368]

This is hysterical

[@Armakk]

I was mesmerized by the "Where Are They Now?" segments with Biff Henderson. Love to see a montage of them! 🙏

[@GPSjammer]

Eddie's naturally funny. He's got that NYC swag

[@johncornell3665]

Love the gory bits. Thanks Dave!

[@bernlin2000]

What a great journey, and great insights!

[@kydx2853]

Thank you for adding English captions. It helps me a lot. Greeting from Japan! Dave, tell me the best way to learn English through your show.

[@PoppaSquat-et3qp]

I’d you want to learn to speak English well I’d advice not yo watch this show. Watch old clips of Merv Griffin.

[@ScottSelva]

Great staff favorites video yet again. Never disappointing!

[@WilliamJames48]

The squirting blood bit never gets old

[@KungEMuller]

Wow! Way to go, Eddie. You did a lot of funny stuff with Dave, and you managed to help him end his late night hosting career by being one of his stage managers with the legendary Biff Henderson.

[@DaneOrschlovsky]

You had me at Rickles

[@natalinopascuzzo8345]

Thanks for those great suggestions, I must say I believe in everything you say to be your honest opinion👍👌

[@nikralm]

Eddie is legitimately the nicest dude ever.

[@annamariaisland1960]

binge-watching these very late, and after all the laughs with Dave's staffers, I recalled the problem that was revealed last year about James Corden, where he didn't know any of his staffer's names. Those people must tear up when they see the love and respect that Dave had for his own crew.

[@devnull73]

Narrator: of course, they did then take them for granted

[@qq312qq]

Please release all Don Rickles appearance to the show

[@Memo2Self]

I hope Eddie got a SAG-AFTRA card out of this!

[@plaws0]

FD 343 PD 72 EMS 8 Over 200 more FDNY members have died of directly-attributable causes since then. I really enjoy these ... usually. The 2001 attack stuff dampened my enthusiasm for this one (not a complaint).

[@teddyray8597]

I haven't thought about the girls that presented the deli platter in years! I always found the one on the right particularly alluring.

[@kinsmed]

We shall never see his like again. Or Dave.

[@riverraisin1]

Even if I watch this over again?

[@roccoand2612]

I could smell NYC when the horse was walking down Broadway. Well done. Never take them for granted.

[@justintasolides185]

EDDIE!

[@hinthegroove9740]

There will never be another show like Late Night, Television is going the way of radio.

[@dianewinters8628]

Dave❤💋

[@AnthonyP73]

For me, late 90s early 2000s was peak Dave. What a master

[@CthulhuInc]

haha that's funny - my bday is 6 6 6 - and yes, it is the devil's bday! hahaha

[@wheeliewheelie1]

Back when people enjoyed laughter

[@CasperLCat]

Those characters wisecracking on NY streets would get questioned by the cops in Dave’s state of Indiana. In Alabama, they’d get shot. In NYC, they just assume everyone’s doing shtick.

[@johnnyboy7117]

What do you think Stephen Colbert’s cast will be talking about in the future? “That millionth time we made the same joke about Donald Trump in 2027”.

[@claudiaq5187]

Thank you for saying what we've all been thinking!

[@porcorosso999]

While 1000% absolutely true. Must remember that Dave made plenty of W jokes for about 10+ years on his show.

[@229BlackHat]

I will say, though, that they make some DAMN good Drumpf jokes

[@itsmeprasad1987]

I don think Colbert but his numbers increased after trump started running.

[@kevinriddell2105]

Drumpf is a walking,breathing joke.

[@paulferranti8536]

It’s all downhill after Dave…he’s a historic figure…like Dylan, or Garcia

[@wgaus09]

The devil’s birthday….well, have a good show!

[@tvviewer4500]

2001: "my hope is that we never take these people for granted" 2019: John stewert goes to congress to get the WTC rescuers money 2020: "defund the police" 2023: "The police aren't doing their job" 2025: "defund firemen"
