I'm here viewing this after watching a small interview with Dave after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock ... In the interview, Dave pointed out that when he hosted the Awards back in 95 , ''no one got hit '' 🙂

Wrong. Look at the other opening monologues. They make fun of the audience all the time. It's not a kiss ass fest. You're not looking close enough. This was ranked the worst because the delivery was stiff, material was okay but dry, like an overpriced steak. Felt like TV jokes spoken at a higher volume. Personally, the worst one was Neil Patrick Harris and the year with James Franco/Anne Hathaway (not Anne's fault - Franco showed up stoned and was dead weight)

The monologue was great...uncharacteristically so for Dave. His performance was terrific. He brought a freshly anarchic attitude to the proceedings, which might be what made people pan his performance, but which is an essential ingredient in comedy. The taxi driver skit, however, wasn't so hot. Less cut-in gags and more verbal interplay would've helped.

It was vintage Dave. All I can say... AND that his digs about Hoop Dreams were spot on.
Dave's jokes are all intelligent and funny. Big shout out to my childhood sweetheart at 7:57 - so elegant, so serene, so beautiful.
Don't remember her name
@@pacojaviersg I think it's Andie Mcdowell that starred in the movie groundhog day together with bill murray. To get from her such a heartwarming genuine smile is a great thing. Her smile here is more than gorgeous is more like to fall in love with her. Not many poeple can provoke in her such a smile quite sure. Thanks Dave. You're the all time best.
@@peternemeth1777 thanks, your right, I don't know what's with me, can't remember many of their name's. Now I don't remember her 0:26
Dave is just ahead of its time.
Aaww! I was 15yrs old when this aired! Good times
All the critics trashed him when he hosted, but look how bad it's been the last 20 years? This show is brilliant compared to what we've had since 2000.
David Letterman is always with the normal people
Love Dave’s laugh 😆..... !! He did a Great job... I remember watching this .... wow... Freshman year of HS 🙈... where has time gone ...
Wow, I watched this live more than 20 years ago and it doesn´t look that bad now. It´s actually very funny. The thing is that now we´re used to guys like Ricky Gervais hosting the Golden Globes and being "mean" to people. Back then the hosts were supposed to be more elegant and polite. Dave was Dave, you know, awkward, strange and very, very funny.
I loved it live then and love it now.
Gervais doesn't have any respect for actors. He is right in that.
except for the Roger Ebert joke...and the Arnold Schwarzenegger joke...and the....basically all comedians are "mean". Gervais is hilarious. Dave does better with a more intimate crowd. I find them both great and talented.
Is your first name pronounced "yahoo!"?
João Solimeo Classic Dave❣️
So many beautiful and young faces. That makes me want to do.. anything I wanted to do, faster, and remember it hard. And love it dearly.
this is deep. We should talk to each other
WOW
What I'm getting from this comment section is that you either love David's humor or you hate it It's interesting that it ranges from "this unfunny guy bombed" to "this was fantastic" I personally find everything he said hilarious
3:28 how gorgeous is Jodie Foster
agree top look for her
Haha that Schwarzenegger joke was funny though. Eat, drink, man, woman? lol
His delivery is so good, when he reads the title, you're already laughing, anticipating the many directions he could take that joke.
whateverpbk yes it was classic Dave Letterman
He is great here and this joke is great.
I came here expressly to hear that joke again.
Commander, the only jackass here is you.
I've just watched every available monologue from 1970 to this (don't ask), and this is the first one I've laughed all the way through. Don't know why he got hate for this. Guess his style of humor just didn't play everywhere.
This hosting gig was like a fine wine, drank by a kid. The kid won't like it, whatever amazing wine you're setting down in front of him. Just give it time, let it grow. It will be amazing. 😄😁
Fuck the critics, Dave was awesome that night!
check bill crystal from 93
I agree - I thought Letterman was great. I would have LOVED to see Norm Macdonald host. That would have been classic.
7:32 The Joker laugh :D (Joaquin Phoenix knew that laugh very well)
Laughing my ass off on a clip older than myself. Classics. Always good to watch an Oscar clip, whenever
Few months older than I am this has aged well
Looking back the dream works jokes are so unintentionally hilarious XD
this is pretty good stuff...he was undoubtedly super hilarious...his mean-ness does the magic
This was awful
Nope it was awesome, ur awful 🤣
Oprah, Uma, have you met Keanu?
God, just take me back to 1995....
Please God
That Arnie joke was fucking hilarious!
And nobody got slapped, what a concept!!!!!
what a year for movies, golden.
The joke at 5:28 was hilarious and I know Dave meant no disrespect to the late Ebert because they were friends in real life. Seeing Hanks and Rita Wilson’s reaction to the joke made it funnier.
Gene Siskel routinely insulted Ebert's weight on Letterman's show. This was a running gag, but the crowd seemed to have no idea that Ebert was often in on the joke.
I found him fantastic hosting the Oscars. I miss Dave.
blueearthquake he’s baccckkk
So do We !
He was amazing! Wtf is up with all these LA writers calling him "the worst host ever". He didn't suck up to the Hollywood glam like the other hosts of the time. 22 years later, this is still one of the funniest monologues. Letterman being Letterman,
Wrong. Look at the other opening monologues. They make fun of the audience all the time. It's not a kiss ass fest. You're not looking close enough. This was ranked the worst because the delivery was stiff, material was okay but dry, like an overpriced steak. Felt like TV jokes spoken at a higher volume. Personally, the worst one was Neil Patrick Harris and the year with James Franco/Anne Hathaway (not Anne's fault - Franco showed up stoned and was dead weight)
FAKE NEWS existed back then too
why does he say this was a disaster. seems like normal Dave Letterman
Maria Shriver loved that joke... Arnold not so much.
Cause she related to it big time and and he was wondering why was that funny.
I'm miss 1995 y'all.
TELEthruVOXx gosh me too
The monologue was great...uncharacteristically so for Dave. His performance was terrific. He brought a freshly anarchic attitude to the proceedings, which might be what made people pan his performance, but which is an essential ingredient in comedy. The taxi driver skit, however, wasn't so hot. Less cut-in gags and more verbal interplay would've helped.
The young dave was like conan
Would love to get the complete show. Anyone have it? Or a link to it? Thought Dave did a brilliant job to be honest.
I am here at home Dave. Watching you COVID-19 got me Trapped at home. Thank you Dave. You’re Wonderful
No award presenters were hit during the making of these 95 oscars
I don't know why he was considered a bad host, this is pretty easily the funniest Oscars monologue I've seen
@Jonas Bettencourt you didn't laugh at the Rocky part?
Thats so strange i thought all along he was considered the KING of late night television?? Ahh what do i know..
@@soccerscoutsbdtm9164 The entire monologue was funny. Not just the jokes, but Dave's cadence and timing was perfect. A lesser host could have screwed these jokes up with poor comic timing and being off cadence. Plus, Dave throws in his own personality. It's basically an extended version one of his late night monologues.
I GUESS THIS WAS THE ONLY ONE YOU'VE HAVE EVER SEEN.
i like letterman
0:01: “From New York, future home of the Academy Awards, it’s The Late Show with David Letterman! Tonight, David welcomes from the Dallas Cowboys, Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin, actress and comedienne Whoopi Goldberg and musical guests Sawyer Brown! Plus Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra! And now, the man who gives new meaning to the term, ‘The envelope please…’ DAVID LETTERMAN!!!!!”-Alan Kalter.
Vintage Dave. The best.
This was before we were so hooked up with the internet.I saw this show and I had the time of my life.I didn't understand the next day he got attacked for his hosting gig.
After hearing so many terrible things about this show, I had to come and find it, and it’s great. I don’t know what they were complaining about twenty years ago.
Dave was simply the King. That's it. Not Johnny,not jack paar,not Steve Allen. David letterman.
Holysheeeeeeet he really roasted the dreamworks deal. Dude roasted everyone there,
This guy is a genius
Who's here after Will Smith's slap?
Yes, after hearing Dave big himself up as a host.
@@redlady935 that was a good 1 minute monologue ain't it
I thought it was brilliant when he interviewed the Taxi Drivers and used them to remind the people in the audience not to take themselves too seriously and keep them grounded. I'm sure they hated it at the time, but fuck em'.
Who remembers David lettermen giving Tom Hanks some kind of special award for work In Forest gump.
Wish he had hosted a couple of times... I feel like he was ahead of his time here, nowadays I perceive that many hosts do it similarly but in their own way, joking about the celebrities. The funniest parts to me was the Arnold joke and the Jack Nicholson impression.
The brilliance of Letterman comes from simultaneously giving a crap and not giving a crap.
R.I.P. Blockbuster video
So much better than some last editions!
Wow it's been 24 years. We were all using Windows 3.1 and 14,400 baud modems waiting for boxes of Windows 95 diskettes and Ram Doubler to arrive at CompUSA.
Dave was right nobody got hit this night.
They got slaughtered , brilliant
He's the king. There's nobody like him.
In 2019 and is still funny af
DAVID HOSTING THE OSCARS!!!!!!!!! AAHHHHHHHH
They need to put up security screens between the host of the Oscars and the guests.
I never saw this, but the same thing brought me here. He's walking out like a straight trouble maker lol. I look forward to this video.
why did the press hate the uma oprah bit at the time ? it's dave being dave ?
hakim amalou I didnt even get it
Poor wittle snowflakes get offended at normal people acknowledging how goofy those names are.
jedijones I love David and his opening but it's not that anyone was offended it was just poorly executed and confused.
That Ebert joke was great actually. Dave did a fine job, certainly much better than most of the corporate suckups who host. The Taxi Driver bit wasn’t that hilarious but just that Dave would include some actual regular blue collar folks in the show says a lot about him, he wasn’t an out-of-touch showbiz elitist type.
I miss David Letterman show..
miss letterman. good thing he is back on netflix
And when Dave hosted, nobody got HIT!
Dave is funny af.. I saw this when I was a kid.
I hate when people criticize a comedian whose humor they don't quite understand yet. Only they can know how the joke should have been told. The only thing a comedian needs is confidence. You can't teach someone to be funny.
03:40 that guy who is sitting next to oprah... that face always makes me laugh.
Never saw this before---don't usually watch the Oscars---but have heard about it, and that Letterman bombed, etc... This is very funny, in my view, not sure why it has the bad rap.
Can someone please explain the Oprah-Uma joke please
I found this explanation....
!This guy hosting the oscars on the best year in movies history
Forest Gump and Roger Ebert walk into a candy store....
10:56 😂😂😂😂😂. This is hilarious for anyone who remembers when Jack Nicholson went nuts with a golf club on someone’s car 😂😂😂😂
He was funny. How was he bad people?
Who says he was bad?
@@kukoshkin He got bad reviews at the time... I'm not saying that's fair, but his hosting wasn't generally considered to be a success.
every host in Oscars modern history has gotten bad reviews - I died laughing during the MacFarlane telecast and I think the critics were mental tearing that one apart. I actually giggled a few times during this one.
He was voted the worst Oscar host of all time
@@redlady935 Nah, I'd probably give that to Amy Schumer this year.
I'd been searching awhile for just one part of this monolog--my personal favorite from memory--that being "Eat Drink Man Woman" was "coincidentally how Arnold Schwarzenegger asked Maria Shriver out on their first date". Still as funny today as when I first saw it nearly 30 yrs ago. Maria looked like she got a good laugh out of the joke; Arnold not so much. The NYC taxi routine has worn well over the yrs too.
Pure genius.
I've read many stories saying Dave was a terrible Oscars host. I'm not sure i get why, this is a great clip. Perhaps the Uma Oprah thing went on a bit long, but other than that, this is classic Dave.
Notice though it got a bigger laugh the third or fourth time he said it. Classic Dave repetitive joke effect.
jedijones exactly!& he was great!
People today like offensive and dirty jokes, no wonder they dont like elegant and subtle stuff
I think the argument was that he was just doing a version of his own talk show.
To quote Conan, "Dave was the anti-show," People won't get him more often than not. Especially the Oscar audience during that time.
Best opening ever
I'm listening it with very good speakers at 5'34 i begin to hear a voice saying "noooo" and then making comments about Dave's jokes that I can't not understand very clearly. Who is this voice? The producer of the show?
Dave was the best host.
The guy seems to enjoy himself!
I don't think David did bad at all, this is all 100% Dave. : / What was the problem?
+spacededman Dave's style is irreverent, movie folk take themselves too seriously
Dave's biggest targets were always people who took themselves too seriously or those who put on airs, which was and is pretty much everyone in Hollywood. They didn't take very well to Dave pretty much making fun of them all and the nature of an awards show. I remember watching it and finding it hilarious. Best moment was Dave pulling Tom Hanks from the audience and making him help with " Stupid Pet Tricks".
the thing I didn't understand was Tom Hanks didn't really have a sense of humor ... when usually Tom and Dave have many funny moments together
I see your point, but I wouldn't say that due to one cut away after a fat joke about Roger Ebert. Hanks looked like he was trying not to laugh and did look stiff, but I wouldn't read that much into that reaction. One thing that jumped out at me was how much people said that "Jack Nicholson impression" joke didn't go over well. It KILLED in the room.
The whole Uma/Oprah thing was just stupid and tiresome!!
Oi, Sylvester Stallone looks so handsome!!!
Legit!!
Are you gay? (not that there's anything wrong with that)
Like he just said, "On this broadcast, no one got hit."
Uma looked SO beautiful= the color of her dress is just absolute Perfection!
