Stupid Pet Tricks Bill Murray's Liberace entrance Celebs filling in when he was out with heart surgery.

[@GlockRevolver]

Absolutely loved Norm on that last show. That was a once in a lifetime chance to see how much Letterman meant to him.

[@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu]

David Letterman. The good old days. I got into his show as a teenager at a time with no cable access. Watched pretty much every night I think. I think I miss that show. Probably was one of the highlights during that time of my life.

[@PenguinDust1969]

Charles Grodin was probably my favorite repeat guest from the old show. Both shows were nightly viewing for me growing up, but there was nothing like the original Late Night show from the 80's.

[@jerrylee8261]

Loved CG's appearances on Letterman and Carson. He acted as if he had zero respect for either host which made his appearances fascinating.

[@justinoneill8625]

Best guessed on both shows

[@cesarbrasilator]

As a teenager living in Brazil, watching Dave was completely mind blowing. He made me "get" comedy for what it could be.

[@DarkmanPoe]

I remember when Dave returned to the show after having heart surgery and how he got choked up when referring to the doctor who "saved his life" as being one of the most memorable moments on the show. Surprised it didn't make the list.

[@allendracabal0819]

Same.

[@andu1854]

The Lawyer and Kauffman thing was a total work and both were good friends in real life

[@ARIXANDRE]

As much as I enjoy Colbert and Batiste, I miss Dave and Paul on the late night circuit.

[@kylepatrickhall1426]

Letterman can always provide a great interview

[@shawnuel]

It is notable that at the very beginning, Dave was, self-admittedly, a very poor interviewer and, by the time the new millennium appeared, he was probably the best interviewer of the late night talk show hosts. Love seeing people improve their skills over time.

[@gordonshumway6128]

#1 is Norm. I approve of this video.

[@krazerkap]

As much as I enjoy Chris Farley and that high energetic entrance, only one celebrity had the greatest exit from late show with David Letterman. That is the 1 and only Jim Carrey. During an episode right before New Year's Eve 1999, they had Jim carry on and they asked him how he was going to celebrate the new year. He it he led the audience it's in a countdown from 10 to 0. He then pretended it was the New Year and he ran around acting like a complete psycho like only he can. He eventually exited the Ed Sullivan Theater through the stage door, went outside, took his shirt off, and danced around on top of an NYC cab screaming "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" over and over again.

[@allendracabal0819]

Carrey also had the best entrence, too, where he repeatedly did not appear when his name was called, and then Dave went to look for him and found him trapped in an arcade-type claw machine.

[@robgronotte1]

The best regular guest he ever had was Sandra Bernhard.

[@thegoodsisjas]

Just like he started off, wasn't Bill Murray Dave's final guest?

[@sailorjupoak]

Yes, as there was no sit-down guest for the last show, and Murray also did #1 on the last Top Ten list. Foo Fighters were the last musical guests.

[@allendracabal0819]

Murray was also the first guest when Dave moved to CBS, and was a guest on Dave's second-to-last show.

[@shawnuel]

Legend has it that Murray was drunk during that first appearance.

[@welcometothemovies9157]

Or that's just bill Murray in general lol

[@BenDejo2628]

I loved how David would embarrass Teri Garr and even talked her into taking a shower on the show

It's difficult, but with practice you can do it.

Farrah Fawcett deserves a place on this list.

How do you not have bill hicks on here? Like honesty

I mean, Letterman has a channel posting every day now. Just go over there instead of sitting thru this.

Farrah Fawcett didn't make the top 20???

[@SolCresta3405]

Why isn't Hatsune Miku up there?

[@allendracabal0819]

Because it's a top 20 list. Not top 350.
