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.

Green never mailed it in. They had him on one of the annual specials doing the same song as a duet with a female singer. It was an amazing way to end the special (7th)? I can’t believe I remember it. I’m going to look for it.

"The Letterman Family" sketch seems so obviously the inspiration for "Too Many Cooks."

I love how in the very last skit, it was obvious that “Chris” was going to get thrown off the ledge of his window but even knowing that, I still found it hilarious!

Ha ha.. yeah he seems so sincere but kinda sad, like a bad kid who just got busted. He's naturally funny because I feel just a tiny bit sorry for him but still laugh out loud at his inevitable fate.

The greatest Paul Shaffer musical joke I ever heard (and Chris will appreciate this) was an outro to a Top Ten list. The topic was about how a family was financially capitalizing on the recent birth of their septuplets - seven kids. And Paul's song was "Money" by Pink Floyd. A good enough joke as it is, but the aspect of it that destroyed me - and I may have been like one in twelve people to get this - is that "Money" is in 7/4 time. Seven. Septuplets. BRILLIANT.

Wow, this was one of my favourite ones. The music was often the best part of the show. I Know Paul has done this, but would love to see a Favourite Moments with some of the other band members too.

Hearing this guy talk about music was amazing! We need more favorite moments from the band. Would also love to get Steve Jordan. Sadly Hiram and Bernie are gone.

These were great memories -- the music of Letterman and his genuine love and appreciation for the artists was such a fantastic part of the show! Paul Shaffer, and the World's most Dangerous Band, were amazing every night!

Wow! Chris Schukei is a musical genius, and so is Paul Shaffer. Yes, indeed! They're also comedic geniuses along with Dave.

I appreciate hearing from Chris Schukei, as someone who worked closely with Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra, and the Late Show's musical guests. The music of the Late Show was always important to me.
