Dave gets fed up with all the technical problems during the technicians strikes and decides to take a break and get a cup of coffee.

Dave in the old days were the best. He was the picture of passive-aggressive.

I miss that long-ago time, staying up to watch this show. You never knew what you were going to see, but it was always something unexpected, odd, and hilarious. It felt like Dave and his crew had their own little world and we’d get glimpses every night.

Yes I was only like 7 years old when this aired. I love watching old Videos like this with David Letterman as you can tell he was much happier..a shame he had to turn into a serious grump because of Jay Leno...but hey it's his life with his problems. Grudges are just stupid. ...but the best part of watching these old videos is just feeling how much slower and groovier things were back then (not everywhere but as a kid it sure did feel like it) and everyone just seemed do damn happy. :)

I was born 8 years after this episode aired and still enjoy watching the remotes of Letterman. I came here from the Ice Cube Kevin Hart Conan remote segment. Got to know a lot about late night.

@Pennsylvania History Buff: I'm pretty sure that was Pete Fatovich, longtime assistant director on Letterman's NBC and CBS programs, who (like many other crewmembers) often made little appearances on the show like that.

Some of the classic stuff is just so great, his show today is, well, boring. I still watch, but he's even given up on Charts & Graphs. I liked that bit.

@johnking5174 9 жыл бұрын

Well not long before he is gone. I wonder how long it will take for people to miss him. They have got a long time until September before Colbert takes over. Is it just re-runs of Letterman they will air until then?

@nunavyourbiznas8660 9 жыл бұрын

John King I didn't tune into dave until early to mid 90's on CBS but he was a kick then, throwing water balloons off the Ed Sullivan building, constructing a swimming pool just to fill it with Alka-Seltzer, Him and mel Gibson grabbing a pair of scissors and cutting their $200 slacks into hot pants and anything, anything to do at all with the 'Hello' deli.

@47and28 5 жыл бұрын

maybe he did slow down a bit with age. BUT the writers who wrote all the comedy earlier on in his career moved on. and his new writers were just not as good.
