September 21, 2009: Obama’s first Letterman visit as a sitting president, just days after basic political decency officially left the building. That summer marked a turning point where shouting down the president and disruptive antics replaced debate. Obama handled it with trademark calm and humor, but looking back, this was the canary in the coal mine for everything that followed.

2012 - pure gold. Nowadays he would yell at Dave and say he was fake news.

I'm looking for a clip of "know your current events" from that night. Catherine Zeta-Jones was the guest, with Buzz Aldrin, and Jamiraqui was the music. I was chosen to play the game 2nd, and announce that my wife was pregnant. Can anyone help me find this clip? Thank you in advance.

Does anyone know or remember the bit where he is telling an old Italian guy shoveling snow to take it easy? He asks the old man for advice about shoveling snow and then reminds the old man to take it easy. The old man wasn’t having any of it and throws some snow at Dave. Thanks in advance!

Who's Ready

March 7 1995

Well, it was bound to happen. This is "Annette"Fiction.

I'm looking for a video recording (VHS rip, fan archive, or clip) of the Late Show with David Letterman episode aired on December 11, 2000.

* Guest: Mel Gibson (promoting "What Women Want")

* Guest: Todd Barry

Does anyone happen to have this episode archived or know where I can watch/stream the full interview segment?

Thanks in advance for any leads!

Did anyone else catch Dave's show at Just For Laughs in Montreal tonight? I was in the fifth row, and I loved every minute of it.

Dave did a combination of new bits, old gags, some reminiscence of both his shows, and a couple of musical gags with surprise guest Paul Shaffer. Then Dave brought out Will Arnett for an off-the-cuff chat about Arnett's career, and all three of them surprised us with a very special Top Ten list... Ten things that sound great spoken by Will Arnett. They ended with a French rendition of "Taking Care of Business", Dave signed a couple of autographs, and that was the show.

Seeing Dave live was a bucket-list dream of mine that I thought died when his show went off the air... I'm so glad I got a chance to see him tonight. He is a mythological figure in my life. I love him.

... which gives me an excuse to share one of my favorite Top Ten gags.

One of Larry King's pet peeves is when he's about to go on the air with Neil Armstrong and he says "please, no questions about the moon landing".

Hey all, unless my memory is screwed I remember a time when Paul and the Orchestra performed a rendition of the song On Broadway on the show, but for the life of me I can't find it anywhere online. Was just wondering if anyone knows where I might find it?

Thanks for your time.

He had 136 appearances iirc. A few of them used to be on Youtube but many were taken down when Worldwide Pants/Letterman created their own channel. And they almost never put up Regis' appearances, which were hilarious mainly because it opened up Letterman. Please help if possible. Thanks

If you’ve noticed the Letterman YouTube channel going sharply downhill in the last week, this is the reason why. The clips no longer seem to be curated by people who actually worked on the show. Everything is very click baity and geared toward the lowest common denominator now. The clips themselves are edited badly, removing chunks of interviews for no apparent reason. First we lost Don Giller’s incredible fan channel. Now we’ve lost the inferior - but still pretty good - previous official Letterman channel for something far worse. I really hope the channel is only going through growing pains and will be better than ever soon.
