Some classic Letterman moments
Cut and paste these from a Toronto newspaper. Definitely some great moments.
My personal fave has to be the Kinison routine. __________________________________________________ _________ No. 10: May 22, 1986: Cher makes her "Late Night" debut, calling him an "a**hole" when Dave asks her why she hadn't been on the show before. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBgDHhmSrAo No. 9: June 6, 1997: Farrah Fawcett makes a less-than-coherent appearance on Dave's show. You have to see it to believe it. Yikes. http://www.k-statecats.com/dl29_Farrah_6-06-97.mov No. 8: October 27, 2006: TV pundit Bill O'Reilly and Dave go head-to-head over the Iraq war, with Letterman telling Bill "60% of what you say is crap." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWOGMKQ1aHo No. 7: February 1, 1982: Bill Murray helps Dave with his first-ever show -- a completely hilarious interview ends with Bill doing an inebriated version of Olivia Newton John's "Physical." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-iefxUvNNQ&NR=1 No. 6: March 31, 1994: Madonna has been friend and foe to Letterman, and showed off the latter during this appearance. She brought along her potty mouth and dropped the F-bomb 13 times during the show. Letterman cut to commercial when she didn't stop. When the show returned, Madonna was gone. (They later kissed and made up.) http://youtube.com/watch?v=cRSP5ZUmxP8 No. 5: November 14, 1985: Comedian Sam Kinison makes his network TV debut, widely considered to be his breakthrough performance. Dave introduces him by saying "brace yourselves." He was bang on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_VURr6jnWQ No. 4: July 28, 1987: Crispin Glover has an out-of-this-world interview while promoting his film "River's Edge." After a failed attempt to challenge Letterman to an arm-wrestling match, Glover delivered an impromptu karate kick just inches from Letterman's face while shouting, "I'm strong... I can kick!". Not sure whether he was whacked out on drugs, or it's a gag. You be the judge. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALapHYNSmoA No. 3: April 12, 1995: Drew Barrymore jumps on Dave's desk and gives him a seductive birthday dance, and ends with a quick flash of her breasts -- with her back to the camera. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LYV9AZNlFU No. 2: August 31, 1988: Comic book writer Harvey Pekar goes toe-to-toe with David Letterman during a live appearance. Letterman calls him "a dork," and apologizes to Cleveland and Pittsburgh for having him on. Ironically, he becomes a "Late Night" staple until GE (which owned NBC) banned him until the early '90s. http://youtube.com/watch?v=iBr4NxujLvw No. 1: July 29, 1982: A running feud between professional wrestler Jerry Lawler and comedian Andy Kaufman comes to a head when Lawler slaps Kaufman in the face. Kaufman goes on a profanity-filled tirade afterwards, and ends his appearance by tossing a glass of water in Lawler's face. Watch: http://youtube.com/watch?v=kv73yzYuE_M |
