Stupid Human Tricks on Letterman September 4, 1984

By request. Stupid Human Tricks:
1. Sam Gash removes vest over his jacket
2. Jeanne Yetman rolls a quarter off her nose that bounces on a table and then into a glass
3. Dr. Mary Jenkins plays "Yankee Doodle" on her hands

[@DennisMoore664]

A guy named gash and a lady playing her hand. Damn I miss Letterman - especially the old shows on NBC.

[@woodystorey]

Dang I miss Letternan…simply the BEST of all the late night showman…

[@TheAsdsdswww]

I'm amazed the world didn't hear of Sam Gash again

[@qthelost]

There was a Sam Gash in the NFL from 1992 to 2004 but it's definitely not the same guy.

[@ObamaFromKenya]

@@qthelost NFL Sam Gash was only 15 when this show was taped, wouldn’t reach the NFL until he was 23. And of course NFL Sam Gash had a large Afro as a teen 🙄🙄

[@landman6333]

You and me both brother.

[@LetsBeHonestImAPrat]

He actually looked and acted like every guy who gets promoted for doing nothing but kissing arse at work but tbf to him, no one knows who I am either lol

[@ziparis]

If this isn't a slice of Americana, I don't know what is.

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

Kraft Process!

[@Maya_Pinion]

👍👍👍👍👍so proud,ab so fkn lute ly...

[@robberbobbert888]

5:50 to 6:01 is why Dave will always be my late night host of choice... those unscripted gems

[@TheAsdsdswww]

David shook Dr Jenkins' hand after her performance like a true gentleman

[@Bubba1960.]

Mr. Gash is gonna be a riot around the office water cooler.

[@barrettus]

I always appreciate it when you put up the "Brown Set" videos. I was too young to catch the first couple seasons.

[@YouTube-tied]

"Brown Set"?

[@JG-ue2cv]

The Quarter trick is called “Quarters” in my town. Beer in the glass and drink when you sink the quarter.

[@razorbackfan2011]

Same but most didn't roll it off your nose we slapped it on the table and into the glass

[@NecroticCadaver]

I don't know about you guys but I was very entertained.

[@maximusareilius2262]

back when new york was a cool hip exciting place to be and affordable. now .....ugggg

[@dorothyincansas1817]

Women have been doing this with bras for decades😂

[@JoeKoOhNo]

Right on. I knew a girl who was quite adept at it. She was also a nymphomaniac who liked being surrounded by a crowd. Believe it or not, she could actually queef Yankee Doodle. Talk about your crazy human trick.

[@PatTheBatmanFan]

Oh man. The Vous! I've actually been to that bar though it's long gone now apparently. My friends all went to U of M in College Park and the Vous was the bar of choice back then.

[@JonathanAllen0379]

This aired the night before my first day of kindergarten. How the years have flown...

[@maremacd]

On my 20th bday-though I had better things to do that night. Oh how times have changed.

[@ObamaFromKenya]

@@maremacd so you’re 60 now 😳

[@erepsekahs]

Stupid Human Tricks is a very apropos name.

[@jeffharbaugh8683]

The coin trick worked when the drummer moved from drumming on the table to the floor.

[@DonTruman]

That playing the hand trick was mighty good. Would like to hear her and her brothers in a trio.

[@Skeez-git]

Wow!

[@craigcricket7932]

Year 2023. We now have, Kimmel, Fallon and Corden. What a Shame it Is.

[@ItsKyleMang]

I thought the middle performance would be picking an apple through a fence.

[@petercallaghan9851]

Sam's second day on the job - some wizened old hack says, "Yeah, now put the vest on without removing the jacket!!"

[@davewestner]

That vest trick rates pretty high on the stupid scale as far as Stupid Human Tricks are concerned. Hopefully the Letterman channel will do a Top 10 Stupidest Human Tricks video one of these days

[@dongiller]

You should send it a request: [e-mail]

[@martinstrength8532]

5:50... upstaged

[@clancykobane9102]

harnesses? winches? pulleys?

[@g-a-i-l-]

Indiana circus Boy.

[@Maya_Pinion]

Yea Doc.

[@Bernie3000]

The NBC crowd was so rowdy.

[@keithgrillo8096]

A Sam Gash played fullback for the NE Patriots around this time.

[@ObamaFromKenya]

@Keith Grillo this broadcast is from 1984, Gash was in high school in 1984,a long long way from the NFL

[@Gertieness]

Genie look to be about the same age I was at that time, now we're both ancient, where did it go 🤔

[@splatznplugs]

Wonder whatever ever happened to SAMs career.

[@kepckatherinec805]

Switched to missile production.

[@BigDaddy-vr2ut]

What ever happened to Sam. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen him on cbs again

[@ObamaFromKenya]

@Big Daddy can’t find him anywhere

[@g-a-i-l-]

That's Nebraska for you. Go Bucks.

[@goaheadmakemyday9859]

The guy looks like a young Billy Joel.

[@longhairscorpio3976]

first guy looks like a mix of Donald Trump and Christopher Walken

[@R4lee444]

When America was...

[@mrn13]

I did a similar reflection. Also, I noticed how the general public is less well dressed as the years progresses. (and no fat people)

[@goaheadmakemyday9859]

That chick with those bugs bunny teeth, what's up with that.

[@leftylou6070]

If anybody knows of a beaver without his 2 front teeth, I know where they are!

[@Sarakate601]

The first guy doesn’t realize women take their bras off without taking their shirts off every day with ease. That’s not a trick lol Haha and the quarter girl looked right at the dude drumming like “YOU messed me up!” When she missed the first time haha

[@OttawaAndy]

Big deal, annoying vest-guy. Women have been doing that with their bras for years, only way smoother.

[@clancykobane9102]

😩

[@kellicronin5279]

Yup! My first reaction

[@saxophool]

Pretty sure Gash took his vest off the same way I've seen ladies take their bra off. Cooler when ladies do it.

[@henryairconcepts2999]

Boobs make a difference 😆

[@ACoustaDC]

Geesh... what is Sids inseam.... 72??

[@clancykobane9102]

Ain't Sid.

[@ACoustaDC]

@@clancykobane9102 Sid McGinnis, he's the guitar player for the band right?

[@ACoustaDC]

Yes.... He is.

[@ACoustaDC]

@@clancykobane9102 Yes. it is.. but it aint Anton Figg... Sid is screen Left next to Paul.

[@TheTeufelhunden68]

Jeanne Is pretty cute. I'm old enough to remember the Pat Benatar look. She should just be careful not to smile.

[@YouTube-tied]

Yeah she sure has a face-full of teeth. Also known as "tooth-drag on the driveshaft". Btw, comparing her to Pat Benatar does her no favors either.

[@DennisMoore664]

@@KZbin-tied Maybe not in your opinion, but Benetar was definitely a sex symbol back in the 80's. Not classicly beautiful, but sultry, sensual and exotic with a Rock and Roll attitude and powerful voice.

[@YouTube-tied]

@@DennisMoore664 No.

[@DennisMoore664]

@@KZbin-tied Yes.

[@gregghatfield9946]

Sam kinda looks like a Clinton

[@jesusvilla6132]

My God the first guy was so annoying. Jeez.

[@moaningpheromones]

And how much would you say an acre would go for in Cresco?
