Clint comeback with the gym socks was epic😂…
Clint was a comedy genius
and it only took Clint 10 minutes to come up with it
@@gerrydooley951why would he (clint) say his comment earlier
Discovering the North Pole is epic. The gym socks joke was as corny as Clint was. Reeked of any local barbers patter.
@@gerrydooley951 Maybe Clint only just noticed the socks, not to mention he could hardly get a word in edgeways, with Letterman hardly pausing for breath.
I really liked the old ones where the guests would stay around the whole time, seeing interactions with one another.
🤗🤗❤️
Still do this on a few uk ones. Johnathan Ross and graham Norton being the main two
Yes, thats called Respect
That's when you got moments like George Gobel coming out and sitting down with Bob Hope and Dean Martin and saying "You ever get the feeling that the world is a tuxedo and you're a pair of brown shoes".
@Ts3cooper Graham Norton can be unbelievable TV gold.
I remember watching this show 31 friggin years ago! I cannot believe how time has flown by.
I know. Days really seemed longer when I was working. 😊
Same
@@dr.coffinnails ditto
Clint still has a little swag in him kzhead.info/sun/q6h9lrKgloNtqmg/bejne.html
I remember how sad I was Carson was leaving. No one has matched his excellence
Two Kings sitting together discussing real life. God, where has all of the time gone? RIP, Johnny, you are missed.....
Clint is still The Legend.
I hate to break it to you he is a Trumpster.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,a,,,legend can only be ,,,,,a legend.....
@BlackShale….Biden is a senile, corrupt liar.
So what if he is a trump supporter. It doesn't change how much talent he has. He's voted mostly Democrat in his life. Republican when it suits him. There was a time when people didn't get their feelings hurt by someone else's opinion. You could just accept an individual no matter what they thought. In fact we celebrated our differences!! It made life interesting. Today everyone wants to be offended. Its annoying as hell.
Someone: _"Awesome guy."_ Nahtzee: _"I hate to break it to you, he is ajew."_
Carson is still late night king. No one ever got close to him.
He is now dead
@@saifonlawrence2044No. Really? I just saw him in a restaurant.
😂 Letterman was funnier in this one segment, than Carson was in total. DAVE & his show were far superior, and the gap remains gigantic!!
Carson was the best.
Clint is the definition of calm and cool.
More like smug and conceited.
I guess being around real men has not been your experience in your 12 years of life.@@EmilyTienne
@@Streamwalker1000 Real man? He’s a caricature of a real man. A mere cartoon.
Fine, give me an example of a Real Man. He raised several families, made millions of dollars and entertained millions on top of that. Until you find someone who can do better, your words lack substance. He was not an abuser, drug addict or narcissic fool like many of these actors...including the cartoons. So present your example, most wise Emily. @@EmilyTienne
I agree
Love seeing how much Johnny enjoys Letterman's antics. You can really tell how much he likes Dave.
Yes. Dave idolized johnny so Johnny knew Dave was coming from a good place.
Clint is one cool guy. And Dave is nuts. Just fantastic!
Cocaine
Clint is a macho gun toting nut job. Dave is awesome!
But Clint’s gym socks comment was epic! 😂
@@lizherbst7393 That was most excellent!
Makes for great banter!
Real stars, real talk, and real laughs.
Eastwood and Carson. Two of the best entertainers ever!
how amusing that Letterman is teasing Clint about not wearing a tie while committing the ultimate fashion sin of wearing white socks with dress shoes. and Clint called him out for wearing gym socks.
Dave is so good he almost made Clint crack a smile, even though he was trying not to.
Letterman was enjoying riding a wave to the height of his career here. People nowadays wouldn't believe how popular he was at this time. Personally I liked the early NBC days a lot more.
I never understood the appeal of Letterman.
Either you get him or you don't. I adore Dave.
Foaming ground beef ! Classic David and Bob stories!!! Clint and Johnny rolling 😂
Letterman is awesome. He grew on my as a kid and quickly became my favorite comedian/talk show host. Amazing verbal skills.
It blows my mind that Clint was around 62 years old here.
He’s almost 100 now
That is so funny that you wrote that… I just made the same comment two minutes ago and then I scrolled down and you had said the same exact thing. That is really something and what was he like 6 foot five holy crap
Even more mind-blowing is that Clint is now in his 90's. How is that even possible?
Clint was just the coolest
And now he has a new product out kzhead.info/sun/q6h9lrKgloNtqmg/bejne.html
IS.
It's very interesting to hear Clint talk about film shots, wide, then dramatic closeups, etc. He became such a great director and writer. Plus, he's a cool jazz/blues pianist. Cool dude.
Clint is thinking, "does this guy ever stop talking?"
The answer would be no......, never....
Yeah, because everyone was hyped for more orangutan talk. Clint's best being the silent type.
And by orangutan, I mean Reagan.
No he's not.... Obviously you don't know Carson.
These guys just oozed charisma back then. So much more talented than most of the entertainers today.
My girlfriend and I had the rare occasion to meet and talk to Clint years ago, we were just a young couple. He was with his young son and they were surrounded by several bodyguards but my girlfriend ran through them to meet him and he was gracious enough to stop and chat and let us snap a quick picture with him. He was not arrogant or mean to us in the least, just a nice normal guy. 🎉
what a experience!
I used to live on the Monterey Peninsula....I can tell you, Eastwood thinks he owns the entire area....he's not a nice guy. If anything, he is offensive to the disabled community.
as he should be
@@alfredgeorge317 A complete lie. And you know it... So what does THAT tell...
@@alfredgeorge317B.S. hater. How can you live like this? Making allegations mostly on hearsay and the rest on your own self-righteous, biased conclusions. Pffft, I hope you don't have children.
Johnny Carson was a class act. Dave Letterman was, too. Letterman was a novelty when I started college; there was a lot of talk about people missing morning classes because Letterman made them stay up an hour later than usual.
Same!
Awesome. Before unforgiven was released and proven to be an award winning blockbuster.
Dave was nervous as heck - nervous humor. Classic Dave.
The gym socks...😂😂😂
Watching these you realize just how great a show Carson had and just how bad today's late night is.
Can you imagine if Norm McDonald was added to this mix? Great show.
you get me.
Norm was AWFUL and horribly unfunny and crass. Only Reddit losers like that guy.
Don’t mess with Clint Eastwood .
Love this show and Johnny. I'm grateful for having been a child and watching this show. Hands down the best late night show in history and beyond. I don't even bother staying up for these clowns nowadays and that includes snl.
Well nobody misses you I promise you that so your back in my day everything was so much better rant is going of deaf ears sorry but the younger generation don’t care to hear you older people complain about everything I’m 40 and I’m part of that generation
I couldn’t agree more-miss the Tonight show with Johnny Carson and I don’t bother with today’s so called late night shows.👍✌️
I'm 47. I remember watching with my great grandpa
sorry youre so jaded.
Clint is so damn cool!
Clint was effortlessly cool. What a life.
Clint is, you mean.
what your seeing as cool is a guy who is not comfortable on a talk show, which is why he never did them.
Clint is Mr Cool, along with Steve McQueen....I've seen this several times. He shot down Lettrrman wonderfully...he's a treasure..
Clint is a legend!
so is Dave
@@gerrydooley951 No, Dave is saying Now days, WHY was I on the side for Democrat's, Because They have Become A Bunch of Freaks. Sorry Dave Flopped in this on.
Clint is most comfortable in the background out of the limelight..seems very modest.
He is
Exactly how he was when my girlfriend and I had the rare chance to chat with him, very humble, not pretentious in the sense of being a cinematic legend. 😊
I'd heard that from others who'd met him. It add's to his charm. He's definately a classic.
The Outlaw Josy Wales is one of my favorite pictures. I can watch it over and over.
That's me but with High Plains Drifter.
He only did a 2 year term as Carmel Mayor some 30 years ago and to this day people from all over the world know and ask about Clint's time here.
Clint, Sly, Costner, Gibson, phenomenal actor-directors.
Dave was funny, seriously funny. And Clint is and was and is ........sooooo cool. And Johnny.....come on J Carson.......the MAN.
Clint is my favorite actor. He has done so many great things. He's a great director too. I even like the stuff he did in his 90s.
Oh my GOD, Clint's DEAD. 😅
I loved the gym sock comment and the live by the sword, die by the sword thing. They were having a good time. @@mikewhite4560
@@mikewhite4560September 2023 Clint is still with us
@@letsthinkagain Thanks for sharing...LOL
So I recently watched "old" Clint in "the Mule". Same laid back guy. Clint has always been a favorite actor of mine. Hes 90 years old now, I think", in 2024. Iam 84. I think Ive seen every one of his movies. God bless you, Clint!
He’s about to turn 94. God bless him 😊
Clint is so calm cool and collected. What a guy. One of the best.
If discriminating against the disabled community, and legally attacking a woman in a wheelchair, is your idea of a "cool guy", then something is wrong with you.
@@alfredgeorge317 Calm down cupcake. Do you need a pacifier?😉
Outstanding video. Those guys are incredibly funny even today, and Clint was a good sport. Thanks for posting.
Man, Dave absolutely crushed this. Died when he asked Ed if he’d saved his money 😂
while he was banging his assistants and lying to his wife? what a pathetic loser posing as honest but a POS..and no me too people called him out as he probably bought them out with his money
How every Rickles set *_ought_* to have played out.
Reminded me of Hank Kingsley
31 years ago. My, how time flies. Johnny was on the tonight show for less time.
Talk about an absolute monster of comedy, Dave was on fire.
Complete bore.
@sheilamacdougal4874 clearly the crowd agrees🙄
@@sheilamacdougal4874 Do you mean Clint, Dave, Johnny, Ed or all of them?
@@atldjango Clearly a moron who can't think for himself forms his opinion by following a crowd, including a fake tv audience that is rewarded for laughing and cheering.
@@threerings1345 I meant the putz, Letterman.
So glad I watched all these legends careers my whole life. What a wonderful entertainment ride .thank you for all the joy you have brought us all !!! 🎉😂😢😮😅😊
Clint Eastwood, Johnny Carson,and Dave Letterman. 👏👍
I remember my Mom always saying she didn’t like David Letterman because he had frat house humor, so I never watched him either. But seeing him now in my late 40s and watching some other episodes of his show, he is really funny! Dry, sarcastic humor, kind of an endearing jerk. What’s not to like? Lol
3 great guys in a great time
Clint was calm as he prefers to be generally, but Letterman came out on fire! He was more amped up than I have ever seen him--he was turned up to eleven! But compare this to ANY modern talk show and you see there's no comparison.
O'come on He was NOT Funny, He Flopped.
Yeah Clint just being cool Dave immediately starts trying to critique him for not wearing a tie and Clint just let's him know he's being booed for that ...funny.
Cocaine
Clint has a new commercial for impotency kzhead.info/sun/q6h9lrKgloNtqmg/bejne.html
Two words Jay Leno
What classic TV...god, I miss Johnny and Dave every night. Clint Eastwood was the perfect straight man for Dave. Late Night TV has been pathetic ever since.
Great episode. Wish I could return to 92. How time flies.
Clint Eastwood: Cool, calm, a true legend, might be the biggest moviestar and director of the world - an idol. Many great movies, not many weak ones. When others end, he started all over: "In the Line of Fire". Like a lot of people I would like to meet Clint Eastwood in person.:-)
I had forgotten how funny Dave really is 😃
Funny hearing Clint promoting Unforgiven having no idea at the time what an Oscar winning success that film would turn out to be. Arguably some of if not his best work.
"Still Pissed?!?" HAHAHA Legends!
Prime dave was an animal
Who cares! EASTWOOD IS THE STAR!
@@faithfultrue8003 they both are 🙄
He sucked. Hard to watch. He’s so nervous and needy.
With all his $, DL couldn't get those awful teeth fixed?
@@jjbalsalm955.... nah, he was a killer in his prime. On top of the world during that time. Leno was the needy one.
I always loved all of Eastwood’s movies. He’s one of my most favorite actors.
LOL! This HAS to be one of Dave's BEST Carson appearances! Letterman VS Eastwood is MUST see TV!
That was endless and insufferable
Get a life.
. Why don't you keep your insufferable comments to yourself. They all killed it, including Dave!
Extremely humble and admirable tribute to Johnny Carson by Clint. Very heartwarming. Thank you.
Carson has taste, Outlaw Josey Wales is a masterpiece.
Dave proving, right after being screwed, that he’s a hit with the Tonight Show audience.
They could not have given Dave the tonight show. He had a younger audience with his own show in New York. And if they gave him the tonight show, they would risk losing that audience with a newer host. Even back then when this was happening. I was even telling people that day was not going to get the tonight show after Carson left. This way, they still had David Letterman. Unknown quantity and j was running on Johnny steam for a while.
@@felinefinetessaslegacy2878 But Dave did end up proving he could be successful in that time slot with the audience Johnny had. The audience in the clip loving him is one citation and the other is the success he had at CBS. If Dave had the Tonight Show he wouldn’t have had strong competition and would have been solid. :-)
''High Plains Drifter" #1 in my book!!!
This was on a Friday night in 1992. I remember seeing this when it originally aired. Dave's story about the dog and the bad meat had me rolling on the floor then. I have not seen it in years.
l was in the audience that day. lt was an amazing final week.
It’s a made up dumb story. Unfunny and endless
You must be the life of a party.@@jjbalsalm955
Exactly. It was horrible and unfunny even by the standards back then. I remember watching this live and feeling this was an epic fail for Dave.@@jjbalsalm955
Luv Clint ❤
"Still pissed eh?" Lmao
God Damn I miss those days!
“Gym socks “ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😂😂😂😂
Four legends Johnny Dave Clint Ed
Well, three legends and Ed.
Johnny, Dave, Clint and Hank Kingsley
3 undeniable legends!
you mean 4…don’t forget about Ed McMahon
This was awesome! They don't make them like Clint anymore! Dave killed
My God. I remember when Unforgiven was the latest Clint film. And was the mark of the end of an era. The Man with No Name finally became human. What an epic film. An epic man. Even Johnny was enthralled.
Now that was great stuff, and Clint, well, talk about perfect dead pan humour, classic stuff!😆
It’s such a shame that talk shows are not nearly this good anymore, (except the Graham Norton Show) and celebrities aren’t as good either.
This was Dave after losing out on the tonight show gig showing NBC executives why they made a mistake picking Leno over him to succeed Carson. Letterman was on fire here and made his point. Kudos to Carson for giving Letterman his platform to make his point. Great post.
I still like Jay Leno better. I liked that Jay Leno was more personable. Dave was good in this one, but I didn’t think his show was usually anywhere near as good as this.
@@patrickflohe7427 Right, he was too sophomoric usually.
Loved Johnny
This was FUN. 😊👍❤️
Compared to what?
Compared to what. Get a life.
In 1975 I toured the US during 3 months. I was staying with Swedish relatives in Tustin (LA) for a couple of weeks visiting Manhattan beach every day. Every night after dinner my relatives switched on the TV and I saw Carson show for the first time and was immediately hooked. I watched every night during my stay. He had a magnetic charisma like nobody else. Letterman comes in as no 2 and Leno at 3. Conan and Kimmel are good but not in the same league as these 3 above. You are lucky that Corden has left. Seinfelt is too rich otherwise he would be good!
Conan & Kimmel stink.
Soo funny. I remember watching both Dave and Johnny when I was growing up. Such good times.
Love Clint Eastwood 👍
Absolutely amazing actor and director ❤❤❤❤
Clint, a father figure for America. We love you Clint.
I’m doing the math and the thing I’m focusing on is that I think he’s 93 right now which would make him what 61 years old in this ??? That is one damn tall strong broad hunk of gorgeous man … 61 holy crap what genetics .
How is Eastman a "father figure" for America? He has at least 8 known children, that he was legally forced to admit. He cheated on his wives...and families. He threatened and ruined the career of actress Sandra Locke, once their 14 year relationship ended....he had her blackballed in Hollywood. The entire time he was married to Dina Ruiz, he was having an affair with a jazz/lounge singer. He knowingly discriminated against the disabled community, when he renovated his Mission Ranch, and legally attacked a woman in a wheelchair, when she filed a legitimate complaint. His claim to fame as the Mayor of Carmel, was that people could eat ice cream...(long story). Eastwood is just an SOB.
@@alfredgeorge317don't say that about my daddy!
@@DavidMcdonald-df8tb I speak the truth.....tell me which part of my comment is not true.
@@alfredgeorge317 I was mostly joking. I just like Clint. I don't think Sandra would have had any career without Clint in the first place. The government has got way out of hand with regulations which Clint fought against. I wish he had become our governor and then president.
Great show great guest !!!
Clint and Johnny went out to dinner together after this episode.
Loved seeing Dave needle Clint.
In the end eastwood handled that hack his azz
@@abcall-timesboxingchanneln7076 Nahh. Eastwood was showing early dementia in this clip. Dave was (and still is) the master of comedy.
@@EmilyTienne Let me give you an assign ment. Find Daves stand up comedy videos on utube. You probably won't find one. Because he absolutely sucked. He kissed Carsons butt and the rest is history. Lettermans daytime show was funny. His late night stuff wasn't his, it was the writers if it was funny. Dave got his popularity by being rude and obnoxious to guests and making people uncomfortable. This made it different than all those before him and his younger audience thought it was funny. He became everything he claimed to hate an entertainment industry hack. Watch king of comedy thats what Daves dead end job world was. He had no talent so thats where he ended up.
@@EmilyTienneThis is the stupidest thing I’ve read on KZhead today. And that’s saying something.
Watch Clint’s eyes @ 9:28. That’s when he notices the gym socks. He’s thinking “I’m gonna use that later, punk.”
I have great respect for Client. A true all star superstar.
There will never be anyone like these 2 masters of their craft. Thank goodness we have their movies and shows to watch many more times...Clint could paly any part and make it his own. Johhny could always bring out the best of his guests on show after show...
Clint Eastwood is the epitome of cool and class.
My gosh Clint still looked young in the early 90s.
He looks 90.... Still in good shape though..
@@michaelvandyke6715 His comment referred to the 90's, this show. He looked great - nowhere near 90.
Yeah I know, I’d be very happy to look like that when I’m 62!
The 80s were awesome.....I miss them.
so charmant, Clint!
absolutely great interview
3 of the greatest!
I watched an interview with Clint Eastwood's son and he said that Clint had written the script for Unforgiven many, many years before he actually made the movie and how he thought he wasn't old enough to play the role so he just sat on the script until he got old enough to play the washed up gunslinger. Crazy how he's still doing films even 30 years after this interview.
The 'gym socks' 🤣🤣
I miss Johnny Carson. Classy. Smart. Timeless.
So funny. Good memories.
It wasn't the "giant" anything, it was simply called "Tarantula." Eastwood played a pilot near the end of the film who bombed the spider just outside of town.
that movie scared the crap outta me when i watched it on TV as a little kid
Do you think Johnny gave two shits what the name of a movie 37 years old was? 😂
@@Guitarplayer724 No I don't. I was commenting for the benefit of present day viewers who might want to look up that 1955 John Agar movie.
I love those old monster movies.
I lived that movie when I was a kid, wouldn't mind seeing it again.
