Viewer Mail on Letterman, December 23, 1988

[@mainmaam]

Once again, Mr. Giller, thank you!

[@timbrend6256]

Thank you Don.

[@LeeKav]

Bits like Anton giving Paul his Christmas present work as well as they do because Anton is adorable. There's something very endearing about him. The moment he brought out that box, he had the audience hook, line, and sinker believing he got Paul a puppy; there was even an audible 'aww'.

[@dwaynereeder9546]

Thanks Don!

[@robertdavis4192]

Lol Reaching through the camera was brilliant

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

All the way to Canada!

[@mikefolknation2851]

That stuff is so stupid yet makes ya laugh hysterically. Only Dave's cast can pull that stuff off.

[@randall-king]

4:10 I can’t believe no one else commented about the #1 item in the Top Ten list appearing in the #3 spot before Dave read it. I wonder if that ever happened before or after this.

[@JKerr-iy2jr]

Those elves were having a blast!

[@yardarm5]

Enter , simply the best song lyric 😂🎉

[@domico5838]

He says ..You got some Elves that look like they're waiting for the methadone clinic to open!😂😂🤣😂😅😂🤣😂..Ahh Shee it!😂🤣😂

[@NoellaScott]

I wish the King of the Mole People had been there with his flashlight. Eating roots - where'd all the potato chips go?

[@TacomaPaul]

at 1:32... that's Levar Burton. ;-)

[@douglasjohnson4382]

Anton, what's in the box!?"

[@domico5838]

Nobody else can make stupid that entertaining 😂🤣😂... No one, No way 😂🤣😂.

[@JKerr-iy2jr]

Loved this bit, but the elves needed some Dustbusters.

[@Parkwaymania]

Man, I thought that last Archie character was Rip Taylor.

[@jamesogorman3287]

Ron Jeremy for me.

[@douglasjohnson4382]

It was clearly Harold Peary.

[@padraig29]

chaos and mayhem, classic Dave. I always enjoyed Paul and the Lads versions of B. Bumble and The Stingers songs, Nut Rocker if I'm not mistaken is played here.

[@Exileonbackroad]

Will Lee's hair at 1:09.

[@jnadle1]

They went to commercial with "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)."

[@namelessjedi2242]

I remember Dave saying he liked that song, maybe it was this episode after the commercial?

[@mikefolknation2851]

That crap where he punches through the TV. Only he could pull that off.

[@captainscentsible1811]

7:43 andwriting looks like another letter i saw last week. I will have to find it.maybe the same guy

[@wecontrolthevideo]

I don't remember the Elf Drills, somehow I missed them the first time around.

[@mst3kpimp]

Don your doing the Lord's work, I remember seeing a viewer mail around 1988 where the joke involved Dave eating in a messy fashion culminating with a face full of sauce ect. I'm dying to see this again any clue which episode this appears on?

[@dongiller]

When did Dave _not_ eat in a messy fashion with a face full of sauce? :) I'll put it up if I can find it. At the moment, it's a challenge.

[@DOMICO55555]

@ 2.35 so am I !

[@SailorCallie]

6:16 Archie stationary. ;)

[@hobbygamer6220]

ok so wheres the dog ? 🤨🤨🤨

[@hobbygamer6220]

Paul is azbolutely RIGHT ! Dont b walking aroung w your beard dangling off your chin, etc etc...as Paulie says "youre Santi Claus...so shut the bleep up about it ! 😂😅😅😆

[@mvl9591]

Those are the least enthusiastic elves in history. Definitely not Macy's material.

[@jamesmarshall1905]

Elf fear #2 probably wouldn’t make it today

[@Kodachrome40]

It’s pretty bad when I have to go on the internet to watch 30 year old comedy shows because there’s nothing funny on TV nowadays.
