Teri Garr's Academy Awards Dilemma | David Letterman

[@jjunture]

Teri Garr and Letterman were such a great pairing. I can only imagine the number of segments they had to choose from for this. Rest in peace.

[@Jim_L]

I totally agree! The Garr and Letterman segments are KZbin highlights for me. Every now and then, I'll watch a bunch, and I still laugh. 😃

[@gerrydooley951]

@@Jim_L I think these appearances by Teri were almost as important to her career as her movie roles

[@polarstar]

Yeah, apparently those two had a little thing going for a bit.

[@gerrydooley951]

@@polarstar they never did, just had great on camera chemistry.

[@jackm4457]

The best. There are comedy teams that work for years to perfect such a repartee, but Teri and Dave just had it by virtue of being them. Farewell sweet Inga....thanks for all the laughs... and those knockers!

[@ramonpooser2434]

My sister. RIP. You fought long and hard with your illness and were a big inspiration to me. I’m still going.

[@ronachten2902]

... and you inspire us, keep fighting. Be blessed

[@robbyb3ll4s]

I’m so sorry ♥️

[@videogameobsession]

Bot?

[@ginogina4589]

Loved her from day one. Love you too. Thank you for sharing her with us.

[@ramonpooser2434]

Sometimes I feel like I’m not clear. Teri was a sister in a longtime struggle for me. 33 years. I kept up with her illness, making note of her progress. She was definitely a hero. In my time I’ve only taken vitamins and herbs. I’ve done well and seen big improvements. And…the years keep on coming. I mark the day I first experienced symptoms, September 2, 1991. Why and how I keep going while others don’t do as well nags me some times, but I thank God for the good and the bad. Right now I have a nasty backache that has lingered for months but with the Lord’s help I’ll beat this too.

[@bradgibson9935]

Teri Garr ... Just watching her talk makes you smile. Very natural. You could always tell David Letterman had a thing for her. Will be sorely missed.

[@r.hill.2369]

Exactly.

[@TheGreatAtario]

Who amongst us didn't have a thing for Teri?

[@yankeetango]

Yeah, that pos had a thing for his young staff members, too.

[@BassByTheBay]

​@@TheGreatAtario Yup, she was 20 years older than me, but I still had a thing for her. 😊

[@cactaceous]

Rest in Peace Teri. One of the all time great guests on both Letterman shows. Amazing film resume as well.

[@snaredude56]

RIP Teri. Her suffering is over. Her appearances on Letterman were hilarious. They never fail to lift my spirits.

[@trikywu]

A beautiful, talented woman. She was ubiquitous back in the 80's and had great chemistry with Dave. Rest in peace.

[@AhPhoey]

Yes, very rare to find her in interviews, agreed. This one is rare footage.

[@S1L3NTG4M3R]

Teri Garr's smile was so amazing!

[@johncornell3665]

What an amazing person. RIP Teri!

[@alewicke]

Sigh. We'll miss you, Teri. 😢

[@Czechbound]

Here in Europe, we didn't get Letterman's show. But on some late night channel in Ireand, there it was. I had no idea who Letterman was. Terri was the guest, and there was a power outage or flooding in the studio or something, so they did the show upstairs in Dave's office. The segment ended with Dave cajoling Terri into taking a shower in his ensuite shower. "What is this weird show", I thought. I was hooked. RIP Terri.

[@tabletbooks4967]

Just incredible expressiveness at 1:27 with her faux shocked face, before she hits Dave with "There are only about eight people watching this right now." What a stand out talent.

[@GreasyFilms-qc1xo]

A charming cinema icon, a deft comedy actor, and a babe. RIP you sweetheart. Never to be forgotten.

[@wabashcannonball]

They were so great together. And she was just perfect as Phoebe’s mother on “Friends.” I always loved to see her in any context-so much humor and warmth.

[@theheretic569]

She was one of our great entertainers. Thank you for your work Ms. Garr. Condolences to the Garr family and Mr. Letterman.

[@gman7495]

I am absolutely heartbroken and devastated to hear of the passing of my favorite actress of all time--Teri Garr. I have been a huge fan of her work for 50 years dating back to the movie, Young Frankenstein and her stints on the Sonny and Cher show. One of my favorite all-time movies is Oh, God. A movie that was perfectly cast. I have always had an enormous crush on her as well and looked forward to her great, and funny appearances on Letterman of which there were many. RIP beautiful and talented Teri.

[@gerrydooley951]

loved Teri, watch these old videos all the time, God bless her

[@davewestner]

RIP Ms Garr. Just heard about her passing on reddit and immediately thought I should check here. Thanks for posting the tribute.

[@GardenGirlD76]

So very sad to hear this news. I know how much friendship Teri Garr and Dave had. Sincere condolences.

[@garyhenson117]

The on-camera chemistry between Garr and Letterman was pure box-office - two naturally funny people each bent on knocking the other one off-stride. Terri gave as good as she got. I'm glad Dave was quick to pay tribute to her.

[@sportsammy]

Dave had such a crush on Terri. We all did 😢❤

[@GmanMusicProductions]

Sad to hear about her passing. Teri was incredibly funny as beautiful. Her and Dave's banter was entertainment at it's best.

[@andyevans2336]

One of my cherished moments was meeting Her in the San Francisco airport. Such a joy!

[@WagnerGimenes]

My 1980s crush. Such a lovely character and conduct. Dave teased her so much and the banter was so nice to see. Rest in peace. You will never be replaced.

[@howardkazuska1491]

Thankfully the work she leaves behind will stay with us forever. Rest in Paradise Teri, may you forever be the brightest star in the sky.🌹

[@bradpreston7779]

Came to this channel as soon as I heard. R.I.P.

[@privatepenguin3137]

RIP Teri - wow was I smitten with her in the 80s 😍 - all time great Letterman guest!

[@perspicaciouscritic]

You gotta hand it to this @letterman channel for being super responsive.

[@asifyoucare]

Terri Garr....when I heard the news I knew you'd post something on this channel. She would probably roll her eyes to be remembered so much in connection with David Letterman.😊 She was great in everything...but such a treat on the DL Show

[@MiddleMalcolm]

Truly, one of the all time greats. ❤😢 RIP

[@brianmoore5498]

Thank you David and all for having Teri on so much. She was such a good sport and so much fun every visit way back when there was so much time to just see the fun as it happened while 2 dear people spoke. This is a sad day. I would love to go back in time and watch Teri Garr on late night, fresh for the first time. Farewell

[@robatsea2009]

Absolutely cherished her every appearance on the program. Luminous, funny, charming, playful, and a great talent. Rest in peace to her, and my condolences to Dave & his colleagues on her loss.

[@rockturtleneck]

If Dave did a Top Ten list of greatest guests, Ms. Garr would be right at the top. R.I.P.

[@LarryG-jo6bf]

Number 1

[@justme-kt7zt]

If he did a Top One list it would be her

[@JS-yj7ow]

Always one of my favorites. RIP Teri p.s. watching this made me really nostalgic. What a delightful personality she had.

[@greenthom]

She was great. Glad I found Giller's clips a few years back and got to appreciate her.

Dave and Teri were just the best together on Late Night. Rest well, Teri.

[@davidellis5141]

[@anastasiabeaverhausen8220]

Every time Teri was on with you, Dave, it was something we had to see and looked forward to the next time. Always so enjoyable. Always sent us to sleep with a smile.

[@direnzo4369]

PUT THE CANDLE BACK!😂 Thanks for all the Happiness Teri❤

[@rogerwilliams5382]

She's was the greatest. I loved Terri Garr. David definitely adored her, has she more than a frequent guest. She made every movie better because of her presence. A charming, beautiful and funny lady. Terri Garr was and will always be everyone's favorite.

[@allioop5-m3r]

Loved the flirtatious interviews with Dave. Lovely lady and great actress!

[@anthonykimball7463]

R.I.P. Teri. One of the most beautiful and funniest actresses in Hollywood history. She may be gone, but thanks to the miracle of film and videotape her presence will live on.

[@bababooey4046]

Perhaps the only celebrity death that I find myself actually sad over. May she rest in peace.

[@tradewins]

David your thoughts are shared by everyone who watched Teri's films and her appearances on your show. She's one of the few public figures whose passing provoked genuine sadness in my heart. I had a surprise moment of closeness to Teri many years ago. I was driving west on Sunset Boulevard and happened to be the first car stopped at a red light at the intersection of Sunset Plaza Drive, when down that street came Teri driving a green Jaguar, and turned left (heading east) right in front of me and I got a good closeup look at her for a shining moment while our vehicles were just a few feet apart. She wasn't made up for t.v. but still looked beautiful, of course. Godspeed Teri.

[@rogerw-interested]

terri was so polite. when gene said 'nice knockers' she said thank you

[@joelewishenry7886]

Hahaha 🤣

“Mr. Mom” was part of our VHS classic library.

RIP Teri Garr - wonderful performances across her entire career.

[@jbanks979]

Knew when this popped up what happened before I even heard the news. Sad for Dave I know he was a fan

[@KARIS1961]

I always looked forward to Teri’s visits to the show. Never knew what to expect Dave and Teri to say, but I knew it’d be funny and slightly awkward. RIP Teri. ❤️

[@stannous]

May Teri rest in eternal love and peace.

[@Pattyjohnson476]

So very sad to hear of Teri's passing. What a beautiful, talented, funny woman.

[@rubbersoul3723]

Watching from the State of Rhode Island-Terri-and the show at their best-early Letterman show was the best by far-they don't make 'em like that anymore people. Much love to you Terri! Peace all! 😇

[@greenthom]

She's so great. You're both great together in all of the segments too. Thanks.

[@deutgi]

She will always be amazing to me. So talented, funny, sweet...I really love her. RIP ❤❤

[@dodger2829]

Beloved and treasured for so many reasons. RIP!

[@davidlong1786]

She will always be this young wonderful woman to me in my memories as we should always remember anyone and not old and feeble. Thank you Terry for years of laughs and smiles. "Would you like a roll in zee hay?"

[@off-roadingcars]

I always loved seeing Teri Garr on Letterman. They were so funny and witty together

[@RonGerstein]

Teri Garr took a shower in Dave's office bathroom, and it was on the show.

[@TombCat]

As someone with two family members with MS - this is a sweet and sad day. Teri would have been 80 years old in December. She was a funny, touching, unique and very inventive actress. She done good - in every way. RIP

[@user-hm5zb1qn6g]

Teri Garr helped make Letterman's NBC show such free-wheeling fun.

[@jonthomas8569]

She’s so charming and funny. And she was ridiculously funny in everything she did. I’m genuinely sad that she has died.

[@kinghutt79]

RIP Teri, the world is a little less funny without you 💔 😢

[@deputay]

A Hall of Fame guest on the show! Interesting that THIS was the appearance chosen...

[@justme-kt7zt]

I will shed tears and go to bed sad tonight And tomorrow, in her honor, I will have a roll in ze hay

[@toddanthony6664]

I loved when she played Phoebe's mom on Friends. I never realized how much she and Lisa Kudrow look alike until now.

[@sunshinegirl1655]

Oh no😢 I always thought Terri and Dave would have made a cute couple. R.I.P.

[@TheLadsBandLive]

Dave had a huge crush on Teri. I think the feeling was mutual.

[@clankelt]

Their chemistry is undeniable

[@Giovanni-33]

One of the most delightful women I've ever seen. So genuine and authentic. Witty and quick. Charming and seductive in a humorous way (the best form of seduction). Everyone in Hollywood seems plastic now. These 2 were always a treat to watch. The chemistry was perfection. Thanks for the memories.

[@peteg475]

She was beautiful, talented, great at everything, had a magnetic personality and an approachable aura, and nobody ever said anything bad about her, as far as I know. A guy I know once said she was one of the few beautiful female celebrities that seemed like actual "wife material." That's a huge compliment from a man. So many other showbiz women seemed from afar to be either divas, phonies, or someone dull-as-dishwater to actually talk to, once you got past the pretty face. Teri seemed to be the opposite of all those bad things. Loved her.

[@JDL0427]

Oh shoot. i diid not even know she had passed I just watched the video because she was so cute and delightful, especially with Letterman. I'm 100% certain he chose this clip from literally dozens as an homage to her acting. And the thumbnail because look how pretty and happy she is. From what I know she handled her terrible luck with grace and good humor. RIP Teri.

[@jonmaas]

By far my favorite Letterman guest!

[@scottcates]

Oh, what a fun interview. Thank you for sharing.

[@frackus101]

Great Interview, she was a very expressive person, great and funny. RIP Teri Garr

[@eramosat]

Sad. But coming to Letterman to share some Teri Garr memories is nice.

[@emersondemathias]

Brilliant interview. RIP Teri.

[@marksink1652]

Only just now learned she had passed.. reading the little tribute Dave left... and now I'm sad. She meant a lot to me for quite a long time, she fascinated me. Her visits on Dave and Johnny Carson also. I've always remembered one moment on a DL episode where Dave picks up a stray hair puts it in his jacket pocket and says, "I'm doing some replicating at home." A true personality and one of a kind.

[@bigc2626]

Good god she was DROP. DEAD. GORGEOUS. How could you see this interview and not fall in love?! Both looks and personality. Just had very lovable qualities. Rest in Peace Beauty.

[@cowmix]

This channel is my old-man's TMZ.

[@ronachten2902]

Sadly, yes. That's become it's primary function

[@bussiereforever]

My favourite female Letterman guest. Sad that we all have to pass. RIP Teri ❤️🇨🇦

[@MikeWood]

I remember seeing her first - in re-runs in the mid 70s, in the Star Trek episode Assignment Earth. Any time she popped up on TV I would watch. She had that girl next door look. She certainly was quick witted and a great guest on Letterman. RIP.

[@shermangoering]

you could tell Dave and Teri really liked each other in those visits...very sad news.

[@mikeyerian2562]

I loved Terri Garr since I saw her in Young Frankenstein

[@jimmyrun4eva885]

I'm just finding out that the beautiful Teri Garr has left us. I've seen enough of her movies to know how brilliant and actor she was, and enough of these talk shows to know what a witty, natural, gorgeous woman she was. We'll always have her movies, and I'll revisit some of those Elvis movies she appeared in. Also recently bought ' One From The Heart' on blu ray ( never seen this movie ) , but I will watch and, remember her as she always has been . Beautiful! Rest in peace.

[@patrickplummer1027]

Thanks for the laughs, Teri....R.I.P. 😢

[@darrenrunning5415]

Damn. A childhood crush of mine. RIP Teri.

[@MusicGunn]

There will never be another. I loved you Teri. We all did.

[@THX-C]

Reading all the comments she inspired is touching - I loved her in Mr Mom, she and Michael Keaton really bring John Hughes writing to life. RIP, Teri Garr.

[@johnglenn30csardas]

Her dramatic range was on full display in the tragically under appreciated “One From The Heart” with Frederick Forrest. There’s a music video style edit of the film set to The Cars song “Drive” that is excellent and shows her at her best. It’s on YT.

[@scottcates]

Really nice filmmaking too. I think it was filmed entirely on a sound stage. A Coppola film with Nick Cage, IIRC. It started with a very long one-cut scene. Zoetrope studios.

[@lonesomedove7874]

The world has lost a great actress. RIP Teri, no more pain 😣

[@GetMeThere1]

There was really nobody like her. I always had a continuous grin on my face whenever I was watching her.

She was such a beautiful, talented and quirky lady. Always smiling and always very humble and classy. We miss you already Terri.❤ Rest easy😢God Bless you pretty lady.🙏🏾

[@kristinemunholland8980]

I knew as soon as I saw her obit in the NYT that Dave would have something up. And I've never seen a personal note from him. He genuinely had an affection for her. She was one of his favorites. RIP.

More clips Dave. She was such a huge part of the show.

[@catherinegrogan1343]

Haven’t watched yet cause I cannot right now ♥️♥️♥️ A favourite of David Letterman. Please share more clips. Thank you ♥️ Bless your new journey ♥️

[@DBurgg]

My husband adored Teri....and Dave. So sad; we were all about the same age and now we are realizing just how short life is. What a great show to have in our lives.

[@RickBeatsWorld]

Teri deserves more than the obligatory video. I want the full romantic arc explained. Including Morty, Paul Schaffer and Siskle and Ebert. The whole thing. Teri Garr kept that show afloat. She was your Amy Sedaris of the Late 80s-90s. She was you Lisa Kudro. I need an hour long in memoriam

[@Fnortner01]

It was always so fun and funny and sweet when she was on the show. Their chemistry will always make me smile. Rest in peace Teri Garr.

[@plaws0]

RIP, Ms Garr. You were ALWAYS a great guest on Dave.

[@billrosmus6734]

My biggest and only long lasting celebrity crush of all time. Even from the first time I ever saw her in a Star Trek episode. She was enchanting and charming, even then; as a small kid watching a rerun I was mesmerized by her. And, even now.

[@dottiegillespie8067]

I know he loved and respected her. I just lost a little more of my youth.
