❤Teri Garr. Every Letterman appearance was a gift.

[@dongiller]

I hear there’s a full compilation somewhere on the KZbins.

@@dongillerYou do the lords work Mr Giller. Thank you

[@robinmarshall5704]

One of Letterman's very best guests. Hands down.

[@dangerous8333]

Why?

[@robinmarshall5704]

It's best understood seen than my poor description, but the rapport between those two was so good. Her health started failing her in latter Letterman years, so she wasn't on as often anymore. But man, there's some choice Garr-Letterman stuff in the archives. Just KZbin "Don Giller!"@@dangerous8333

[@IshadaKatzteilov]

@@dangerous8333 She was in on the goof.

[@Frankincensedjb123]

Believe me, nobody cares about whether or not she can tell a joke. She is the most adorable, sexy, real actress you could find. She is a gem and a treasure, and she also get the blood pumping. Just ask the crowd. 🤣😍🥰

[@rockturtleneck]

Ms. Garr was the premier guest on Late Night. Her many appearances were appointment television.

[@privatepenguin3137]

Teri was always one of my favorite guests and one of the biggest stars of the 80s. She was everywhere...and man did I have a crush on her! I hope she's doing well...I know she's had a real tough go of it with her health over the past decade or so.

[@HH-vt8yk]

I love this woman . Funny , quick whited and beautiful with mountains of charisma.

[@baham9217]

They had such great chemistry together! You can actually see the ⚡ sparks ⚡ between them. And like others have said, everytime she was on, it was a gift for all of us ❤️

[@RobertJohnson-bj5lk]

I was always convinced that Letterman had a crush on Teri Garr.

[@maryperez1235]

Especially when she was married here. Dave always had a crush on her but she was involved w others

[@EdDunkle]

@@RobertJohnson-bj5lk I think pretty much every man on the planet had a crush on Teri Garr.

[@paulocuaresma9480]

This is like when David convincing her to take a shower 😂 Teri Garr guesting always entertaining 😊

[@randyjames4713]

Always loved Tari Garr, I wish her well.

[@paulocuaresma9480]

I see Teri Garr and David Letterman in notification I click.

[@lynnturman8157]

One of the best things on TV in the 80s was when Terri Garr did Letterman. He really knew how to push her buttons.

[@celing99]

This right here is my personal favorite Letterman guest segment, ever. In the "Staff Favorite Moments" series, over and over they make a point to mention Hal's incredibly nimble directing and Paul's great sense of show/timing.... together with Dave's sardonic wit and Teri's winning adorable nature and chemistry, it just all fit together beautifully.

[@davewestner]

Love her. It's worth seeing all of her appearances on Letterman. There's quite a few, and they're all fantastic

[@milfordcivic6755]

Vould you like to have a roll in zee hay? It's fun!

[@senselessbabble1996]

Im smitten all over again!

[@ddburrows988]

Garr is a delight and I find myself returning to this clip every few years to watch her enchant David and Paul.

[@duanedorow3981]

I mean... Teri Garr and Charles Grodin were foundational people for me, their playfulness with Dave and the show. Thanks for posting this.

[@davidellis5141]

After Hours is an excellent film 🎥. Very underrated.

[@JoeKoOhNo]

She's fantastic in Young Frankenstein. Excellent flick

[@holton345]

I love Teri Garr. I can't believe she is 78 years old now! For me, she will forever be the early-twenties dingbat cutie Roberta Lincoln from "Assignment: Earth". She always makes me smile.

[@terrywright8731]

She was fabulous on Late Night.

[@amjh4lah809]

LOVE Teri Garr! ❤️

[@unclefrank4274]

It's impossible to not love Teri Garr. Her Letterman appearances are so good

[@johncornell3665]

What a sweetheart. It was interesting watching them interact with each other. Thanks Dave!

[@brianmoore5498]

Teri Garr is and always will be just delightful. I looked forward to Teri Garr on Letterman. The conversation could go anywhere and did and I hung on every word. Thanks

[@kaspinet]

Still alive

[@jamesabrams6908]

Terri Garr was and still is a crush from my early adulthood. Just seeing this clip made me reminisce about how lovely she was/is.

[@squinkque]

Teri Garr was the It Girl of the 80's. Man, did I love to watch her on Letterman.

[@janeltranmer2284]

There she is! Tada! Ms. Teri Garr! Hilarious. "You know, Johnny Carson likes me a lot ......but, I like you better." Well, well, well. Adorable.

[@Rob_Kates]

Take that, Johnny!

[@johnwohara]

Such a delightful and gorgeous woman. I always watched her appearances in awe.

[@ThymeKeeper]

Oh, Teri, you are wonderful :). Whenever I heard her name in the opening I was instantly happy . Her final appearance on the Late Show from 2008 is one of the most poignant television segments I have ever seen.

[@DBurgg]

I'm relieved to know she is still among the living! My husband adored her. I think Dave did too.

[@KungEMuller]

Wow! Terri Garr and Dave are great together.

[@EdKazO-Vision]

You could always tell the time of year based on Dave’s eyebrows.

[@paulypooper2]

I loved Terri Garr back in the day

[@bmla88]

As a young viewer on Letterman, always loved Terri

[@cactusfacemcgillicuddy]

As a child of the 80s I only remember seeing her in Mr. Mom and a thriller/mystery with Paul Newman where she was very reserved and mostly scared the whole time, but I always thought she was super pretty and cute but it's funny seeing her here she is so adorable and bubbly. Her winsome personality really shines through. I'm interested in seeing her in more things now.

[@jimmyguitar2933]

Not Young Frankenstein?

[@cactusfacemcgillicuddy]

@@jimmyguitar2933 Oh great movie, and she looks FINE in that movie too, also very funny but I didn't see that until I was a bit older I think my late teens/early twenties

[@cactusfacemcgillicuddy]

@@jimmyguitar2933 by the way I looked it up and the movie I thought she was in, "Absence of Malice" (1981) was actually Melinda Dillon whoops

[@peterjdecourcy]

Loved Teri Garr, but I forgot about the Connie Chung appearances. Those were great too!

[@qtrust]

Incredibly cute person. Perfect woman to have played Phoebe’s mother in F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

[@sammysouth8372]

With more Teri Garrs and David Lettermans this would be a much better world.

[@mary5827]

Teri Garr ❤❤❤

[@bluebear1985]

After seeing this, I honestly don't know if she's still alive or not. I do know she was forced to retire from acting in 2011 after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

[@chadinmich1]

I was born in 71 so I'm 52 and when she was in a lot of movies I was just a little kid but I had the biggest crush on Teri Garr from the time I was 10 or 11 til I was 16-17

[@Zataronious]

Yes, Teri Garr was funny. I felt bad for her. I still remember that show Dave did in the offices back stage and tried to get Ter Garr to take a shower as "treating the guest to luxury". Probably one of the funniest shows, and it wasn't a full scale production.

[@squinkque]

She actually took the shower! Comedy gold!

[@Wuggyboobeaufuf138]

I was terrified for a second that she passed away. Phew!

[@basicbrewing]

My heart always melts. ❤

[@howardoller443]

She is just delightful.

[@You_Can_Do_If]

They are at the same level

[@oneparticularharbor144]

I would usually watch the monologue and go to bed.. unless Teri was the guest - those would be late nights , love her ❤

[@peteh5862]

I have always admired Teri Garr.

[@kerigpope]

Still alive, thank goodness!

[@kowalski5599]

Teri Garr forever!

[@leesagrrl]

"Bomb?" Be serious. She's so funny and SO Charming in that impish, coquetish sarcastic way... I love her shows too.

[@KickAssets]

Been in Japan for 24 years...wonderful country.

[@eezyclsmooth9035]

Very Charming and Likeable (Teri's not bad either). She lightens up every movie she appears in. I am going to have to watch "Miracles" (mentioned here) again.

[@TheArmchairrocker]

Is it me or does Dave look a bit like an Oompa Loompa here?

[@jkatsieris1]

Not just you

[@rognroll2786]

Teri is the BEST!

[@76_SPZL]

10:50 That bombshell 😅

[@AdrianBoyko]

TIL, she was a dancer in six Elvis movies.

[@nickschultz3259]

and also on the TV show Shindig and the excellent and related music movie T.A.M.I. Show

[@robbernath]

Teri was just a few months shy of 41 in this appearance and could've easily passed for being in her mid 30s. Very vivacious and charming.

[@plaws0]

Don't make me rush to the news sites. My goodness, she's a delight.

[@prebatchboy]

Phoebe's mom! (from Friends)

[@freeadrian1144]

That was inspired casting.

[@sharontaylor6688]

I’ve been a fan of hers since the Sonny & Cher show. She was great in there.

[@bobbleboydk]

What a beautiful lady

[@mikemclenison8200]

Love Teri, a favorite actress and guest of Letterman.

[@klipkultur3680]

It's like I'm falling in love AGAIN with Teri Garr. We were done decades ago...

[@Archerjr1]

The perfect guest. Always.

[@Kevrohall]

If I was casting 'Friends' 1980's Teri Garr for Phoebe.

[@michaelstone3463]

I hated so much that they had such a bad falling out. David simply couldn't keep himself from embarrassing and humiliating her at every opportunity because he loved her reactions so much. She finally had enough. But these earlier appearances were gold.

[@walterfristoe4643]

I've heard of Teri Garr before, but I never realized just how cute she is! 😍

[@mitchellspindell589]

Can anyone give me the link to her first appearance on David Letterman? I can't find it online for some reason. Thank you.

[@jimmyguitar2933]

Loved it when she flirted with Dave. It made him so uncomfortable!

[@OermeadPress]

Can you interview David about his relationship with Terri. They have such chemistry! We want to know if they ever dated or were friends when younger. So fun to watch.

[@baham9217]

She would be a great guest on Letterman's "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction..." What a great hour that would be!

[@privatepenguin3137]

@@baham9217 Absolutely! I understand she's in pretty poor healthy now...in a wheelchair, I believe 😢

[@baham9217]

@@privatepenguin3137 I believe you're right about her health. It would still be a great interview if she has the stamina to answer questions and banter with Dave. Fingers crossed that it might be able to happen.

She was so awkward and ditsy. What the hell, Dave kept it rolling after her drunk jokes.

[@S1L3NTG4M3R]

..She was always funny back in the 80s...

[@raymondm.9954]

I was disappointed Dave didn't have Teri on for one of his last shows.

[@salix741]

Terri's so irresistibly gorgeous here. 😍

[@MrSkyblu1]

There might be a couple jokes that weren't good, but some of these were pretty funny. She seems incredibly shy and nervous so that probably affected her delivery.

[@JDL0427]

Those two.

[@somejackball]

she sounds a lot like Candy Clark

Classsssyyyyyyyyy

Her middle class dream joke was hilarious lol must off been the times, since folks didn't laugh.

[@timhill2849]

Does anyone know if she was a dancer in the Viva Las Vegas Movie with Ann Margret and Elvis? Dancing to a Ray Charles tune

[@daleproctor3723]

I'm sadden to read that Teri retired from acting after coming down with multiple sclerosis. I hope she is coping well.

Am I the only one who thinks her and Christina Applegate could be sisters.....strange! Loved her in Star Trek !

Teri had to be Dave's first guest crush before Julia Roberts.
