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 artisanly-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.

[@bobbyk9815]

It's a shame this guy wasn't there for the final episode. Would've been a good send off.

[@r.edward5701]

He was demanding 63,000

[@kstepko]

That is outrageous. Dave doesn’t appreciate being blackmailed.

[@kstepko]

But … there is a part of me that thinks that it would have been well worth the money. Commit to the bit!

[@gabedestellano]

Excellent thought.

[@r.edward5701]

@@kstepko sorry was a joke referring to his first bit about winning the lottery

[@GeoffNelson]

Alan's reaction makes me laugh every time.

[@evanwexler6570]

This is deeply therapeutic to watch. Also, Kalter's reactions are gold.

[@thelettermanpodcast]

Now that’s therapy we can get behind.

[@djt8937]

I love Paul's hands on his face with that "Oh, my..." reaction.

[@47imagine]

I was thinking the same thing. It would be deeply therapeutic to do as well. I envy the guy.

[@CitizenSteveMusic]

Alan's face every time. So genuinely hurt.

[@yangmiller]

Sooooo great. It kills me

[@thelettermanpodcast]

Big Red’s response was our favorite part too. Next time we have one of the writers on the show we will ask if Dave’s responses were ever written.

[@TheDigitalDecade]

The announcers reaction is so perfect every time lmao

[@dm0065]

I know right? He steals the scene every time, and he doesnt have a single line.

[@smw4628]

This is the first time I've seen this guy and I can't stop laughing. We can all relate to him.

[@toreckman8899]

Same.

[@bambufan3636]

One of the best actors to ever grace the Ed Sullivan stage. Those f-bombs sounded so sincere!

[@dokskwyr4353]

Agreed. Now THAT'S acting. 🤣😂

[@thelettermanpodcast]

The secret was, he wasn’t acting.

[@thekohser]

That's Jody Ebert -- a legend.

[@rickleblanc8900]

​@@thekohserRoger's son ?

[@petterw5318]

It's amazing how much Letterman really enjoyed skits where people insulted or booed him.

[@steve760]

Shortly after Alan Kalter passed away, I googled him, looking for interviews, Late Show skits, etc., involving him, and I found a 2015 interview with one of the anchors at WCBS-TV. This interview aired a few months before Dave called it quits. Alan was asked how Dave liked some of the verbal abuse he got from Alan, and Alan said Dave asked him to do it! Clearly, Dave is someone who does not take himself too seriously.

[@rocketreindeer]

@@steve760 I read a similar article where it said they'd rehearse slamming Dave for a skit, and then he'd say the insults flying at him weren't mean enough, so they'd get more creative.

[@h4a2u0s]

He absolutely loves it. I made a similar comment on an Alan Kalter Celebrity Interview video. His face was pure Joy as Alan torched him lol. Rip Big Red.

[@022171]

They weren't booing. They were just chanting "Dave!!!"

[@thelettermanpodcast]

Self deprecation seems to have been a prerequisite to work for Dave & Co. Many of our guests seem to take delight in it.

[@aymenllc]

Thank god for this channel. Bringing back incredible memories. There will never be another late show of this caliber.

[@fasteddie9529]

These never got old. I so miss this show.

[@kstepko]

The “I love you” was so sweet.

[@Gonkarsha]

This guy has the best job ever.

[@jemcee97]

What makes this even funnier for me is on the Lyle the Intern video, he said he never spoke to Dave other than his appearances on the show.. So these may be the only interactions this guy had with Dave haha

[@kstepko]

This went on for 11 minutes and never got old for me. I think that I was laughing more by the end than I was at the start.

[@larryl212]

In studio audiences loved the guy.

[@dmblum1]

I love Paul's worried hands to the cheeks.

[@j.c.b6473]

A Jack Benny bit!

[@paulrodgers5559]

"clutch the pearls!"

[@edmorel134]

Poor Dave, always gets the double middle fingers 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@mcleanse1382]

I can't stop watching this....comedy gold.

[@TheArmchairrocker]

The look on Alan's face...

[@keefriff99]

His face cracked me up EVERY time. Alan had such great comedic timing..RIP.

[@davebushmediadesign]

His silent bewilderment is perfect.

[@thelettermanpodcast]

Our favorite part. Second was Dave’s off the cuff quips, but Big Red always was the payoff.

[@vanessawhitneypro]

This is one of my FAVORITE segments... Ever... This and Lyle The Intern... Great stuff...

[@thelettermanpodcast]

A phenomenal example of ‘Late Night’ sensibility on ‘Late Show.’

[@C0C0_Nuts]

Two of the best bits for sure. Simple ideas but the execution is just perfect. Late shows don't do this kind of comedy anymore.

[@rickleblanc8900]

Don't forget Brother Theodore lol

[@francescadesmond8846]

All hilarious but the last one was my favorite. Dave was so in the groove. Loved this skit.

[@jacoscofield5150]

I can watch this over and over. This is one of the best ! Lololololol !!!!! Love you Dave

[@thelettermanpodcast]

A phenomenal example of the instant joke, and the show burn of a bit that went over a long period of time and evolved.

[@djt8937]

The funniest is that deep "welllll" he lets out before the blow up.

[@mellow5123]

This is great. I never saw these. More power to Dave.

[@arthurlevine1840]

I believe the young woman sitting in front of ventriloquist guy may have been the inspiration for Van Morrison's quintessentially ADORABLE "Brown-Eyed Girl."

[@tested123]

how the hell did i miss this guy after 30 years of watching

[@keetzell]

Man, I belly laughed EACH time.

[@jackharper24]

Alan has the best reactions

[@theoriginaljosiahjocson332]

They forgot the one when he’s like “You’re out of time? I’ve came here from Philadelphia, I paid $100, I was in line for 2 hours and you’re telling me that you’re out of time?!!”

[@roberthoward1619]

ive requested that clip for the fri viewer choice the past few weeks. and he had driven down from philadelphia, and paid $100 to park his car. i enjoy most looking at other audience members and seeing if there is a glimmer or recognition of whats about to happen.

[@anthtan]

Yeah, how could miss that one out. Makes me wanna say a couple choice words at ‘em….

[@TheMattsterling]

This and Lyle the Intern were just sublimely Letterman.

[@rockturtleneck]

Also known as Not-Quiet Quitting.

[@thelettermanpodcast]

Or ‘tellin it like it is’

[@off-roadingcars]

DAVE!!!! Come back, we miss you

[@Cotygeek]

It wouldn't be the same without Alan Kalter.

[@thelettermanpodcast]

He’s on the Netflix…

[@rwbishop]

I was once at a work Christmas party when a guy got good & liquored up & tore into the owner/boss in similar fashion... only his tirade lasted a good ten minutes. Said owner/boss was a justly deserving recipient too! It was epic... :)

[@moizzle]

i love how Dave used to do these bits over and again. gosh i miss him

[@thelettermanpodcast]

The instant laugh with the slow burn entertainment for folks who watched constantly. Genius.

[@brokenfever]

Absolute classic, double f u's, I give it a solid two middle fingers.

[@TheMatthiasRiots]

Failed opportunity with the ventriloquist doll. Definitely should have had him saying it and not moving his mouth.

[@nivbri]

Nothing will ever beat the surprise of the first one

[@josephrbates]

Every time KZbin recommends this, I watch.

[@charlesbronson5235]

Why did I get it twice 😂

[@ejflor1313]

The audience member at 5:00 at the lower right corner of the screen is the best

[@oldmoviesinbwwithsubtitles3501]

Dave please do a 2 hour special, it will blow away any late night show.

[@emilegeorge6225]

This is why this show is one of a kind. You won't see this anywhere else.

[@BennyDABEATA]

I’m try not the laugh after each segment. And fail every time

[@kawaiiintelligenceagency3889]

He truly lives the act :)

[@arlLaFong]

I see a lot of love here for Alan's reaction, and justifiably so. However, my fav is when Paul goes full Jack Benny take. A classic of a classic. Bravo.

[@monkeymonkey8526]

Omg I had never seen this before and I can't stop replaying it! LMAO!! The red haired man and Paul's reactions are the best! 🤣🤣😂

[@EdKazO-Vision]

I love when Paul does the Jack Benny take.

[@Cotygeek]

Now we need a compilation of Alan Kalter's singing bits!

[@mhmrules]

What did poor Alan do to deserve this?

[@thelettermanpodcast]

Nothing. And everything.

[@jimwaters1562]

Thank you for positing this. It’s very therapeutic!

[@HerosTheme]

Alan always looks so genuinely hurt, lol.

[@WTFG78]

“Well, now, _wait_ a minute…”

[@dashfatbastard]

Sam Kinnison's son really has some anger issues.

[@thelettermanpodcast]

Well played.

[@Threedog1963]

I was thinking Chris Farley.

[@dancomiskey2101]

That guy has a way of making me miss the man underneath the stairs.

[@danielrice7234]

My first name is Daniel, Comiskey Park was my favorite place on earth, that running bit with Chris Elliott is what turned me into a big Dave fan way back and this was one of my favorites bits in his later years

[@spike007980]

This felt genuine, really

[@WayneT1969]

Thanks so much for this comp. That man was a treasure.

[@brobb-sd9vp]

I watch this every day before I clock in. It’s magical.

[@TheSavageBountyHunter]

Dave and Conan use alot of the same comedy This was a great bit 😂😂😂

[@thelettermanpodcast]

There were times where Late Show would do things that could be seen on Late Night back in the day. This is one of those things.

[@AlmostReady504]

Conan's best bit BY FAR was "in the year 2000"

[@TheSavageBountyHunter]

@@AlmostReady504 he had so many.. The Chuck Norris lever ... Tony the Camera Man ... Wiki bear ... News updates ... Just to name a few

[@krahniumblue5150]

This was priceless 🤣 😂

[@fosbury68]

THE HOSE CAM 9:30 LMFAO "We were just goofin' around.."

[@thelettermanpodcast]

We gotta book that guy.

[@jodyebert2025]

You should. I know him and he would do it.

[@MrGpschmidt]

I miss that guy.

[@macrosense]

Exit gracefully

[@kit2770]

I was kinda hoping the ventriloquist dummy would flip everyone off in that one particular segment. Regardless, great bit. Hilarious.

[@infowarriorone]

Whoa, I remember this. It had me laughing my fvckin ass off.

[@SchwartzBwithYou]

Hey Jody! Bravo! And BRAVO!! AND BRAAAAA (slight pause) VOOOOOOOO!!!!

[@jfh9209]

We'll never see REAL entertainment like that ever again!!!

[@doomdude69]

I like Big Red's offended face lol

[@Threedog1963]

I was hoping some people in the audience would unwittingly join in.

[@danettegallaher8493]

This man’s inner child is upset😂🌸

[@thelettermanpodcast]

But We bet it felt better afterwards.

[@danettegallaher8493]

😂😂👏👍🌸

[@paisleydunbar7218]

Dave aged but the ghost of John Belushi stayed the same age.

[@gregruland1934]

So cathartic - thanks a lot

[@garysmith6421]

How’d I never see this guy ?

[@MagicAl5F4781]

8:10 making Flunky the Late Night Viewer Mail Clown look like employee of the month by comparison.

[@Phobero]

That guy is metal AF! 🤘

[@daboys1215]

I think he replaced Kathleen Ankers (who was the foul mouthed librarian) after she passed away. Both were hysterical. Thanks for the laughs.

[@goatcheese4me]

4:55 - the expression of the lady in the front row 🤣🤣

[@TomKellyShow]

I'm playing this and falling asleep to it . . . I may make this my "sleep sound". Is it wrong I find this soothing?

[@rockindudefromthe80sss]

It would be great to have this as my alarm clock to wake up in the morning. Just have the "f___ you" repeat until I shut it off.

[@CMessineo]

I love these!!!

[@matthaze]

I bet he's fun at parties.

[@thelettermanpodcast]

We would like to hire him for one of our Ex’s parties.

[@alexalex13131]

This is an example of how Letterman and Leno were different.

[@wardyman70]

Always loved this bit. Hilarious … 😂

[@j.c.b6473]

His walk! 😂

[@howamilooking5952]

With Lyle the intern, I'd double lose. 😆

[@ArtificialBanana]

“Does it seem like people are more sensitive?” Dave was the first to notice!

[@thelettermanpodcast]

A prophet. That’s what he is.

[@StrivingTowardsWhatIsAhead]

That guy keeps it real.

[@thelettermanpodcast]

Tellin it like it is.

[@AlmostReady504]

This was cut in certain markets

[@mypal1990]

Paul looks shocked but then he goes indifferent in some of these skits. Love to see it.

[@Tommyr]

He seems nice.

[@thelettermanpodcast]

Very.

[@jacoscofield5150]

The best of all time !

[@dontrockwobble]

3:18 Kiva!!! oh, how I miss you, Grinder Girl

[@CatJabZ]

Next to Lyle the Intern, this is one of my favorites of the late show recurring characters!🖕

[@lorip.1110]

Hey, buddy! You can say that to Dave and the rest of us Americans, but not to Paul Shaffer. He's Canadian, and unaccustomed to such vulgarity.

[@bluebear1985]

You can say that again. I live in Paul's hometown, Thunder Bay, Ontario, and the vulgarity isn't all that excessive. 🙂

[@keefriff99]

It sounds like Canada is becoming increasingly uncivil…America has sadly exported its paranoid, unhinged brand of right-wing politics to our neighbors to the north, and things are getting ugly. Apologies to sane Canadians. Turn around while you still can…don’t become us.

[@stupidass3791]

He should have said “take off you hoser” to Paul.

[@thelettermanpodcast]

Our host is Canadian, and he says he certainly gets that a lot. “Feels like home,” he said.

[@kstepko]

You can clearly see on Paul‘s face that he is shocked and dismayed.

[@papacamino2286]

miss this show☹️

[@ToyCarCollection]

quality content

[@micjakes1]

This guy and the foul mouthed(chambermaid, librarian) were the best ever.

[@sha11235]

That last one was a doozy.

[@milfordcivic6755]

There's definitely been times I've wanted to do this over my career, but I never did. You never know when you'll run into people you've worked with in the past if you stay in the same industry or need a reference.....or a job!

[@mark11967AD]

Never seen this bit before. These are even better than the Allen Kalter shtick. I literally laughed after every single f you. Great stuff.

[@PaulJWells-ud2eq]

I feel like that a lot these days. Very funny, very true.

[@alexandertroy9621]

Can we get a Leonard Tepper compilation please?

[@michaelwalterselevatorsrob5009]

This guy and Seinfeld’s Newman would be amazing😂🤣
