Video proof that Dave was 100% correct in keeping the studio frigid.

[@handyba5226]

Wish entire shows were available

[@johnmetermaid]

The Lloyd Bentsen joke about him being old, keep in mind he was 67 when running for VP, sounds youngish now.

[@batesy1970]

1988. I loved that Letterman guitarist Sid McGinnis rocked the yellow shoes/guitar combo.

[@johncornell3665]

Really enjoy every one of these. Keep your cool. Thanks Dave!

[@KungEMuller]

Now, that was entertaining. Way to go, Dave!

[@mrsj1417]

Fan request: The Four Tops performance; the last original member passed away last week. I remember it was a great moment when they sang live on Dave.

[@mrchopsticks3]

Late Night was like a public access show that somehow made it onto network television.

[@Iam_Dunn]

2:06 … I LOVE that Sid’s shoes match his guitar! \m/, ,\m/ ❤

[@eastportland]

Lloyd Bentsen was 67 years old in 1988, but Dave's joke about taking his pulse was a good zinger, I guess.

[@mannybravo237]

Use 100% lemon juice to remove spots. R I P to the audience 4:42😔

[@teddyray8597]

The Uptown Horns gonna give it to you.

[@kcinks]

Everything about his show is perfect, he is on par with Johnny at this time in his career.

[@allendracabal0819]

Even ahead, I would argue, as Dave's style of humor was considered novel then, but is mainstream now. He led a paradigm shift.

[@maximehamelin156]

Incredible clip! It outlines everything that made the worst show on tv the best show ever!

[@JonathanHudgins]

I can't wait til I'm old enough that full episodes are put on repeat on METV or some similar network as Carson and Jack Benny reruns are now for boomers.

[@kenhahn5544]

Taking a glance at your picture dude you don't appear to be a whole lot younger than a boomer I wouldn't speak derisively about us get a job get off welfare

[@BillyRamirez]

8:45 The Edmonton Oilers won the Cup just two years later.

[@RonGerstein]

Why?

[@mrchopsticks3]

@@RonGerstein Because they scored the most goals.

[@bobbyk9815]

After a lot of "topical" uploads, it's nice to see a decidedly random one. Hope it doesn't hurt your view count too much.

[@pauld.172]

This, I think, is the ‘Late Night’ era people remember the most.

[@janeltranmer2284]

I will thank you now. I will try it for Labour Day this weekend!

[@peainapodtube]

this is amazing, never seen him so off his game. so humanizing. still great watching

[@kevinlakeman5043]

Wha...? That was classic Late Night. Must be a real casual.

[@RonGerstein]

John Slurp's Amy Cater

[@jimmyjames2022]

It's so hot, it took me awhile to figure out Bridget wasn't Dave's sister.

[@hawlikd]

Summer 1988!

[@hawlikd]

Hit me hit me i'm being hypnotized . . .

[@nazaretsalinas9997]

Bridgette was beautiful.

[@MultiVince95]

Thursday 8th December 1988

[@chazzanschutz6096]

13:37 length, i see what you did there.

[@DarrellBruder]

HEY DAVE, I WAS THINKING YESTERDAY ABOUT THAT OLD CATCH PHRASE "WHO LET THE DOGS OUT". PERHAPS YOUR TEAM COULD EDIT TOGETHER ALL THE SEGMENTS OF THE TIMES THAT YOU FILLED THE STUDIO WITH DOGS. I DO REMEMBER THE ONE TIME THAT YOU HAD DOZENS OF DALMATIANS. TITLE IT "WHO LET THE DOGS OUT?" - Your Friend: Darrell

[@BIGD-lg1qd]

Hey Dave is Hal still with us?

[@KarenMCB-us1ct]

Really enjoyed the Glen Frey segment but Letterman...not so much.

[@chalkbunt81]

I would deduct money from Brigette's nest egg. She really didn't put any feeling in that puppet show. Didn't even use a different voice. Lame.

[@whathandleUtalkabt]

Dave and Paul actually wrote ..its getting hot in here so take off all your clothes.. and sold it 20 years later 😉

[@scottzema3103]

'Look Dad, the rake's broke!' Dave, now I see why your are placing the burden on us, the non-professional public, to try and provide you, the so-called Comedian, with material even given the much more limited experience which we as the general public have with professional humor. Requesting ordinary people to provide you with joke material (At home, I for instance am getting: "'You're not funny." or 'You're not as funny as you think you are", 'Go down the street and call somebody up" you get the idea). Having us try to provide you with joke material for free, risking our reputations. That's pretty low. It's a Mercy and Rescue mission, 'swhat it is. Keep in mind that people may actually try to help.

[@mjgoodson]

All puppet, no show.

[@TimmehJay]

Any report on how Bridget's marriage is going?

[@JosephEvermore]

At least put a "chapter" mark for the thing you put in the title. That was a very specific thing and the only reason I came to watch and it took several minutes to realize it was not just a video of that but a long section of the show and had to scroll through to find that one 45 second skit out of 13.5 minutes. I guess that would mean people not sitting through ads and earning money, though.

[@paulsolon6229]

Not funny

[@mudhens4ever]

Is he just killing time? Not very interesting, really.

[@HHH-ye1ro]

Probation and fines for two incidents where you assaulted law-enforcement officer? My God. I can see why offices are leaving and new people are not signing up. Feel so bad for the men in blue.

[@rsgabrys----]
