Welcome to the Letterman KZfaq 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. The language may strike you as quaint & flowery, the clothing comically lacey & ornate - but that’s how things were back in this colorful and now bygone era.

Wait a minute. I always thought this guy was Harold Carpenter the head Larkin.

I wish Richard Simmons knew how much he is still loved.

@Emophiliac2 Жыл бұрын

I was in the audience one night when Richard was a guest. He took a polaroid with Letterman and then ran into the audience, to show us. Yes, I was frightened a bit.

These staff moments are a great behind the scenes looks! Great stories. R.I.P. Jay Thomas

I agree, and this one is my personal fave. Hilarious. Amen to your Jay Thomas tribute. His show on Sirius/XM was the best thing on radio, year in, year out. Fortunately, there are full-show repeats of them available on KZfaq now. I listen every night.

As a contractor I’ve often wondered about the marquee and how much it could support. Thanks Harold! I’ll add every year around Christmas I was the Darlene Love episodes. I really like how they got bigger and probably better. The first, military and the last ones, still bring me to tears

In many ways, The David Letterman Christmas show was the highlight of my year too. I wish he would do a Netflix Christmas special every year-even without Jay Thomas.

Here's the amazing thing: When the Darlene Love segment came on, my body just immediately responded with chills. I wonder what the explanation for that could possibly be, and if anyone else felt that response.

Was just thinking I love how they telegraph the outro of these vids but always keep one for last and you placing the lucky penny and then clubbing that fellow with a shovel got my morning off to a hilarious start!

The Barbara Gains show should talk to Dave about Richard Simmons. Richard needs to know that he is still loved. I always loved when Richard was on. It was like Big brother Dave and little brother Richard.

12:37 Mandela effect! I've had this clip in heavy rotation in my brain ever since it aired around 1999. I've never laughed so hard. Oddly, over the years I've mis-remembered Harold's line as "Mr. Letterman sends his regards." I actually think my version would have been funnier, and sound more mob-like, but hey, I'm just happy to see this again! Bless this channel!!
