she’s such a sweetheart

he he did pork all his staffers back in the day

Barbara is so cool.

You are right! And you had a good sense to promote her. She's a good woman.

Barbara is terrific!

His zingers on the show were unequaled to any other host. Paris Hilton was touting her "invention" champagne in a can . He let her do her spiel and then looked directly at the camera and said, "See America ? This is why everybody hates us!" Absolute genius.

always enjoyed getting a glimpse of her at her podium. Dave would talk to her or ask her a question he couldn't answer or interact and she was funny and laughed easily at the antics. I'll have to look her other videos up. Glad Dave didn't hurt anything important. wink wink.

You know he's not actually reading this, right?

his interview show on cable is fun and he has interesting guests > I miss his late night fest, but happy to see him.

@@QuasiELVIS Who are you? His Personal Assistant?

@@QuasiELVIS He actually _only_ reads Phil Tatnell's comments.

At least 27 and in good health. He tells a story like my dad did. Who was an avid David fan. We watched his last two seasons from separate homes and the next day always had a did you see last nights Letterman? moment.

It takes a sharp wit to act like you have dementia. He is and has always been hilarious.

I wish he'd do a tour. Theaters. Just telling stories. Take my money!

You kidding? I fell and hit my head because I fell asleep semi listening to this boring story.

@@DaveDarin oh come on. There's no need for that hahah

Dave has a great show on Netflix!

Audience of one? 263K subscribers.

@@OMGWTFLOLSMH IN PERSON audience. You seriously didn't get that's what I was saying?

R u kidding me??? His show on Netflix, "my next guest needs no introduction " is f---ing brilliant, you gotta tune in to what you been missing!!!

Wow. How much midline shift had occurred by then?

I was a religious viewer for 28 years. 1987 to 2015. I was 8 when I first came across Dave on Late Night. After he retired and closed shop on Late Show, I have yet to see anything on TV at 11:30. Not a single episode of anyone’s show. Sure, I see clips and stuff on KZfaq, but none have propelled me to go and tune in as it broadcasts over the air. When Dave left, late night television left with him. He is the king of the medium forever and ever.

Kimmel and Colbert have their moments, but they’re all pale facsimiles of Letterman and Conan. I’d rather watch Leno at this point.

@@keefriff99 It’s curious because I have seen a few episodes, less than a handful really, of Leno’s car show but never could stand The Tonight Show. While I found Leno and his comedy annoying, nothing like Fallon. That guy is beyond soporifically annoying.

@@cactaceous I know most people were either virulently Team Letterman or Team Leno, but I never hated Leno. He was fine...too corporate and vanilla for my tastes, but watchable at least. Fallon, on the other hand, is nearly unwatchable to me. The whole show is so fake and overly cutesy...it's a damn shame that the supremely talented Questlove and the Roots are stuck being his sidekicks.

Late night television is dead to me. They all suck.

I believe you are correct 🥰

Umm......

he is very smart, but can do "silly" very well !

Fave part: "180 stitches" -- he used to do that on his show ALL the time. Say something exaaggerated JUST enough that, if you're not paying attention, you'll miss the ridiculousness of it.

Hahahh whatta compliment! But if he's really on tik tok I'm tremendously disappointed.. asymmetric attack arm of antagonistic anuseses ain't no friends o mine! But Dave always will be..

loved the teen impersonation

That is ALWAYS hilarious.

He did the same voice when did the remote at Taco Bell.

who the heck is that??

I dunno.. Harry sounds like a douche. I mean Dave basically stopped his career as one of the greatest talk show hosts ever to rsise Harry and thr kid doesn't want to be seen with him on campus? Sounds kinda douchey.

Falling down is a BIG sign of old age . Time 4 a nursing home

I did a face plant 16 years ago, and 6 mos ago I was surprised to have two lower teeth pulled due to my injuries from that experience. When my face plant occurred, I feared I had knocked out teeth and was pleased to find they were all still intact. But the process of resorption began from that trauma and slowly destroyed the roots of those two teeth. Weird but true. I’m grateful that modern dentistry could detect and fix this issue to prevent deterioration of my jawbone from occurring as well, plus replace the pulled teeth with implants and crowns.

Same here. Barbara too with her friendly face.

It was easy for me to remember Dave's birthday, because it is the same as my mom's!

I'm dealing with one at 58 and that's bad enough!

@@dlattimer9949 David would have to live into his 80s to see Harry graduate.

he knows how to get to the funny.

Yes, god damn it, why isn’t the government working in this!?!

Yes! Jean Shepherd was a great storyteller, and so is Dave. But, Dave once interviewed him, and it wasn’t good. Oh, well.

Dave and Jean Shepherd are both cut from that mold of Midwestern storytellers. Few and far between, folks who listened to Jean Shepherd on WOR radio in New York, with his crazy kazoo introduction playing along with that recorded marching band song, him saying "Mankind keeps marching forward...In hock agrikcuelah konk, in es spittle lock," and then his wonderful stories, about the triangular donut machine, the one about Leopold Dopler and the great gravy boat giveaway, the story about him sitting in the hot sun in a little boat on a lake fishing for crappies with his old man and then Hairy Gertz tells a dirty joke and young Shep thinks it's about hockey, and the story about him being a mail boy running along a slag heap in midwestern winter and getting frostbitten lungs at a steel mill in the made-up town of Homan, Indiana, and his many stories mentioning his friend Flick. On Saturdays Shep did a live radio broadcast from The Limelight In New York City. In my own boyhood, too many nights I fell asleep with that white, hard plastic earbud stuck in my ear, wired to a small transistor radio, listening to Jean Shepherd's magic. Then later, catching his TV show, Jean Shepherd's America, him interviewing Albro B. Gregory of the Nome Nugget newspaper, and seeing Shep climb in and pilot a small Cessna as he taxied and took off. He was a close spiritual brother to guys like Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, Jack Kerouac, J.J. Audubon, Tom Wolfe, and others, who all paid homage to, and evoked a warmth in our common American experience and our common American Brotherhood and Sisterhood, and if Shep were alive today I am sure he'd have a powerful insight into our present situation.

and she says "Yeah."

and Jay?! Nope

@@Rocketjay12 don't be negative. Jay and Dave are great, even Dave will tell you that Jay is great. He may have his issues with him, but he's never doubted his talent.

I fell a couple years ago and my first thought was “am I broken?” I realized I’m getting old, because the first thought used to be, “did anyone see?”

@@sallyneary1996 it's a plausible distinction.

That's true ! How can you hide 180 stitches and bloody clothes !

they didn't want to contribute to your demise.

after all true life can be the most humorous subject matter. And no one did it as well as Dave.
