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.

Hanks is the definitive talk show guest. He’s was as smooth and relaxed and charming 40 yrs ago as he is right now.

[@JayDeeIsMyName]

This channel is a gem. And that Berkshire Place at the end is the most random but welcome add-on ever. I genuinely enjoyed this interview with Hanks, awesome!

[@Trutruman]

He has so much confidence eventhough this is his very first career begining

[@johnschlaefflin2100]

You’re bending the shafts! You’re bending the shafts!

[@elizabethlarson9655]

The "Pete's Dragon" reference slayed me.

[@bernlin2000]

God, he is insanely quick, makes sense now with all his SNL appearances, but he clearly had great comedic timing well before all those live shows.

[@mikemyersmusic]

Thanks for the clip! And as a special bonus, an included plug for Berkshire Place!

[@chiefscheider]

Tom inadvertently gave away the ending! 7:29

[@bernlin2000]

Perhaps not surprising, but damn... charisma off the charts! Hanks is the real deal.

In those days, they would tell you where the guests were staying that evening.

[@lesterfreamon4554]

This made me check to see if Tom Hanks was still alive.

[@gluecement]

Residue Don Giller Syndrome.

[@BMG19FUNNYDIE]

Because he insulted a Disney film? 2022 never EVER contrare or poke fun of anything corporate. Interesting that also ties into anything funny.

[@beam-kitty8425]

Is he?

[@mookow2]

Let's all go and stay at Berkshire Place

[@GardenGirlD76]

A moment in time. I wonder if Mr. Hanks knew where he would be going after this! What a career!

[@chiefscheider]

Bachelor Party came out a mere 3 months after Splash and also did really well, making almost $40m on a $7m budget! And of course Tom went on to have hit after hit with only a handful of flops along the way

[@mikewhite4560]

I'm sure Tom did...

[@MyroslavaRm]

he's almost unrecognisable here. wow. he looks pretty much the same as we've always seen him, but he sounds and talks and vehaves so differently

[@maddisonzetterberg5548]

You know, Tom really made a splash in this interview.

[@mikewhite4560]

REALLY?

[@SeanAllocca]

Wow this kid is going somewhere, I'm sure of it.

[@jahimjauh-hey5653]

RIP Trevor Moore

[@djdon60]

Hanks, already, was a good guest, from the start.

[@atomicsmith]

I wonder if he knew his next film was going to be BIG!

[@okeefe757]

Nice pun, but there were 7 films he acted in in between Splash and Big

[@atomicsmith]

@@okeefe757 FAKE NEWS!

[@okeefe757]

I do wish a lot of those 7 other films were fake news. I have seen them all though. Several of them were terrible, but that's not Tom's fault.

[@mikewhite4560]

REALLY?

[@okeefe757]

@@mikewhite4560 Is that some type of sarcastic really? If not what do you mean?

[@raphaelsartori]

I feel like his voice changed so much…

And no clip!

[@tesswarner5334]

He was cute back then!

[@roblund6919]

My God was he ever young and funny back then

[@beenaplumber8379]

He was always funny and very clever, but he was so young and dorky-looking back then. How do you outgrow dorkiness? Seriously, I wanna know... I've got a friend...

[@WarRior-rn4kb]

I love how heckling is acceptable in the 80s early 90s. what made us so soft???!!!

[@xplaybwoix]

Very endearing but must be a bit of a nightmare to be around . He just loves the sound of his own voice . One of those who can’t wait for his turn to speak .

[@sahej6939]

The point of a talk show, duh
