Welcome to the Letterman KZhead Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show - as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. And for those of you who like Miscellaneous, you may very well find some Miscellaneous here.
This was the most directionless yet entertaining segment I think I've ever seen.
Welcome to Howard Stern
Howard's whole M.O. was always to not do a pre-interview, take the lead from Letterman & then take the interview wherever he feels like taking it
You've never seen interviews with Norm Mcdonald apparently.
@@loganfischer3582you beat me to this!!!
Howard: "I"m leading." Dave: "No, I'm leading." Perfect.
These two arguing about how much they stood up to “the man” while pointing out how they’re both sell outs is……just fantastic.
Exactly and Leno has been living 'rent free' in these clowns heads for years and I find it hysterical.
@@normanbyrne9868 No he hasn't, Leno is a spineless weasel and they both have experienced his weaselness personally, and called it out. Enough with the Trumpsterism "rent free". If they both talked about him regularly it would be one thing. They're responding directly to his behavior.
@@normanbyrne9868I don't think him mentioning letterman in an interview is the definition of rent free. Poor little fella doesn't even know what it means 😂😂
95% of “talk shows” are not talk. This was great talk. Thanks
I was about to say the same. It's so engaging to watch two friends just talking. No pretensions, no fake laughs. The conversation just flows like a real chat would.
Two "real" dudes.
@@USS-SNAKE-ISLAND You are clueless. Sad.
It actually really was. After some of the initial silliness fades away this turns into a very legitimate conversation between two people. This isn't anything like how most talk shows go.
@@clvrswine 🙄
"Dont break for commercial when im about to tell a remarkable story, U can cut Dave's Monologue or something"😂
I was lucky enough to be in the audience for this taping and it truly was great.
Lucky you! Must have been a great experience.
All of this, continuous, no cuts.. this is tv gold. Thank you for posting.
There seemed to be one cut. Not sure if they took something out or there was a commercial
22 minutes without ads on US television is impossible
@@ChicagoBulls1984 Most of the time it's music rights (that's the cut for Howards entry right at the start).
@Dengueberries: not on public television
The Jay Leno part was almost like a side note compared to the rest of the interview, which was much more fascinating. You rarely see such intimate conversations like this on TV.
Repeating your banjo punchline 10 times talking over the host is defined as intimate conversation to you?
@@ChristopherCraven That was only in the very beginning. Have you watched the whole clip?
@@ChristopherCraven I wouldn't say conversation, no, you're right. Genius? YES! He did perfectly what he should have done. It was one big fantastic punchline.
@@Leo-sd3jt Of course he didn't.
Howard Stern’s gift to media was the innovation of absolute complete open truth. Dave of course knows this, and respects Howard so much that he did the thing he least wants to do. He sat there with the guy responding to every damn turn with unvarnished truth from the heart with utter commitment. It was an incredible gesture, and riveting TV.
Not anymore
Yea too bad stern is now an out of touch, irrelevant, grumpy old boomer, who's been reduced to a phony liberal establishment puppet who, in essence, interviewed himself for Joe Biden because Biden can't talk for himself. That was totally embarrassing, and at this point so is your comment
Jim - well put
it's hard to name a less honest entertainer than howard stern. the guys that come to mind are all pedophiles.
I loved watching this segment. It was uneasily great watching Dave’s body language change once Howard brought up Jay’s name. Howard is skilled at making people uncomfortable. And watching Dave switch from being the professional interviewer to having an actual conversation with Howard was uniquely enjoyable. Thanks for posting this.
It was already on yt brother, but I love that this channel uploads these clips in HD
I don't know who's running his KZhead channel but this is really bad timing. Jay Leno's wife is in really bad health right now
@TELEVISIONARCHIVES I certainly don’t think this clip was meant to harm Mavis Leno or Jay! I also dont think there is ever a proper time to do anything … because someone is always going to be offended.
Zinger🤪🥶
@@TELEVISIONARCHIVES so you want the person running the YT channel to check the health of all involved every time they post something?? 😂😂
This is the most surreal 20 minutes of a talk show interview I have ever seen.
You have a sad life then.
@@clvrswinewhat’s another clip like this you can share? This was a bizarre interview
Howard stern is a hypocrite
@@clvrswine Do you understand the term "surreal?"
That final bit where Dave gets Paul to play the music over Stern's rant. I started crying laughing in the library
Shh.
And it's "My Way" he starts playing. Absolutely perfect.
How long have you been homeless?
Was interesting the slight delay from Paul and the band to come in - gotta think on some level Paul was enjoying his boss getting uncomfortable
You don't know Paul very well@@nicksimon7364
Howard had a stranglehold on this interview. Two of the greatest. For completely opposite reasons
Yes. That is a part of the joke
"You know what you need? You need a banjo. That's what you need." Lmao 😂
Can’t believe the program stopped already 9 years ago It’s still timeless Thanks for posting
It made me sad to hear Dave say “when he’s gone, that’s it”. RIP Don Rickles
We still have Trump... too bad Dave doesn't get it
@@TheKitchenerLeslietrump is of the same generation as Don Rickles?? Lol. No.
@@TheKitchenerLeslie awful take
@@TheKitchenerLeslie get what exactly?
@@TheKitchenerLeslieHoward hates Trump too. Both are smart enough not to fall for the con man.
David Letterman knew what was going to happen when Howard Stern appeared on his show. Wild stuff was going to be discussed.
I would love to see Howard Stern and Graham Norton together. Such different styles and yet they’re the two best interviewers around and share the rare ability of being able to occupy either side of the interview.
This was incredible. Thank you to whoever requested. I normally hate talk shows because of the phoniness of them but, I enjoyed how raw and honest this was.
David Letterman was the greatest talk show host who ever lived, and this conversation was one of his greatest.
Here’s Johnny
Dave’s still alive and still interviewing people. What’s with the “was?”
Conan surpassed him.
Wrong..he is #4….The times Gary Shandling stood in for other hosts and the fact that The Larry Sanders talk show segment,was not scripted! Fact ,my sister is a first A.D. assistant director, told me…..makes him the greatest host of all time!…imagine if he took over The Tonight Show in 1992! Number #2 is Conan #3 Carson #4 is this legend! I know my list is extremely odd but I go with interviewing abilities, wittiness, comedic timing,quality of ther jokes and if they write their own monologues and finally, the level of comfortness he makes his guests …..it’s very important to their exchange in dialogue and for the viewer….that’s where Letterman always lacked…..funny yes…intelligent, very…..but creativeness,like Conan, he delivers short….not counting the 80’s old show…he was outstanding then…..I guess I’m still bitter about him cutting out Bill Hicks stand up…..not sure….but to say he was the greatest, over Johnny Feakn Carson is a bit much…….to each is own……. hell it’s better then Kimmel/Fallon/Colbert! Can’t watch those ! Their awful! Letterman was the last great one!
@@thegiftedone Save some words for the rest of the internet.
I didn't want this interview to ever end. I haven't smiled and laughed this much all week!
There will never ever be another talk show host of the same caliber as David Letterman. By the time Late Night with David Letterman began in 1982 Carson was already an old dude with a fairly humdrum show. Dave Letterman changed the genre for the better and hundreds of shows have been created in his wake. I began watching when it began in February 1982 and watched all the way to the end. God bless you David Letterman. You’re the true King of Late Night television.
I absolutely loved this honest discussion between two friends. It felt like eavesdropping. Fantastic.
Dave and Howard are like the odd couple.
This was really remarkable television - thanks so much for sharing this! It reminds me of that time that Dave showed up for Howard's birthday - they really do mesh very well!
Dave's the greatest. He's really involved with the interview.
This was so funny they act like they got a crush on each other but are too shy to admit it lol. Then it turn into an old couple fight lol. Dave is the best.
That was unparalleled insanity, and the dance at the end. Dave is the perfect handler for Howard. Encore!
Finally! Thank god, this interview is one of my favorites. Bless the moderators of this channel!
The second half of this interview, the part about friendship, is amazing. I feel like this is the first time that I've seen Dave truly open up. Here's the thing: I understand. I'm the same way. I have trouble making close friendships, because I feel I have to keep everyone at arm's length to protect myself. It's so ingrained that it may as well be instinct at this point. For many years, I've loved Dave. I thought it was because he is the type of comedian I most respect. He's truly rebellious, and he's got guts. But maybe this is the real reason. Maybe I just relate to him. Every comedian performs because there is a hole he or she is looking to fill. I think it's important to remember that all good comedy comes from pain.
Stop being so scared all the time. Forget about protecting yourself and just live a little!
@@AhPhoey Ah, if only it were that easy.
In the top 10 of funniest talk show segments- ever. Howard is so honest, he really gets Dave going. Fabulous!
@@SarahMaywalt I hope you are able to do it still! Friends and family make life worth living!
Howard said it guys if you picked up on it. The reason he's such a wacky guest who never shuts up is, that he watched Rickles do the same on TV when he was a kid, and vowed to be that way if he ever got famous. And that he did, and now was blown away that he was actually getting to know his idol in person.
No, Rickles knew Howard was a phony and gave him the treatment normies are given. That's how he weeded people out. Stern was always jealous of John Stamos' relationship with Rickles and he was probably set up.
@@TheKitchenerLeslie And you know this how?? Did Rickles tell you?
@@TheKitchenerLeslie nice detective work Columbo, what do you want, a cookie?
@@h0lly_blue She's a hockey puck!
So, don’t really know the actually motivation. But if you watch lot’s of Howard’s TV appearances, his delivery and pace is just about the same, including drawing the audience in for a bit of participation. Something he repeats for all appearances. Watch the Joan River’s Show appearances, the same. It’s his TV only delivery.
Thanks Ramin for asking them for this one. Legend.
Commenting while I'm watching. This is a GREAT interview. These men at the top of their careers reflecting on them as, what after, this interview became their decline. Really insightful for all of us watching to learn and live from.
perfect balance of true heart sharing and comedy - thank you both for your honesty.. that's what comedy is supposed to be all about, showing the silliness and touchingness of life at the same time.
This has to be the best talk show interview I've ever seen! Both men respectful and aware but even more so honest. I don't think I've ever seen Dave so honest and straightforward and really interested in what the guest thinks and didn't even sidetrack it by resorting to snideness or sabotage! Bravo!
I thought I watched Dave every single day of my life, going back to his morning show, but I never saw this segment.. One of the best ever.. Two legends.
Love this, thanks for uploading!
one of the most engaging interviews in the history of television
Unbelievably wonderful to see this again, Bravo🎉🎉
This Fan Friday thing is a great idea props.
"I mean what is with the BANJO?? Everyone HATES it!!!" LOL I was rolling.
There was a hurricane heading for New York and people stayed inside but Dave & the crew, bless their hearts, put on shows without an audience in the theatre. It stands out in my mind because Dave was absolutely hilarious throughout and the crew was cracking up all the time. So a humble request from me if you could be so kind and upload some parts from then :) Also, there was a bit when something goes wrong on the show and it cuts to Allan that curses out Dave for not coming to rehersal, and Dave checks with Paul and Paul curses him out too 😁 thanks for all the uploads. Letterman and the show was one of a kind
It was Dave’s rant about Brad Grey that was even more entertaining. Dave showing solidarity with Garry Shandling there.
Oh that's right!
SO great. I remember watching this live. Love You, Dave & Howard!
I love how Stern can be honest with himself.
Fantastic! The riffing was off the charts, including the "My Way" ending!!
"We're not done!" Letterman shouts, as Howard pulls him into a close embrace.
Loved this interview. And the band with the music bit at the end. Great TV
"He did Dave wrong" send shivers down my spine. Love Dave.
This was one of the best interactions between 2 modern hosts I think I have seen. This could have been recorded in Dave's living room. True entertainment.
20 plus minutes, minimal cuts and live. Much respect Contemporary Howard Stern is so disappointing compared to his former self. So much for sticking it to the man.
Both of these titans tearing into each other over their connections to powerful executives. Bless em both, we won't see defiant hosts like this again.
Imagine Fallon doing anything similar. Not in a million years
They say "the commonality in all of your failed relationships is you". With Letterman, O'Brien and Farrell it says a lot about Jay
This was simply amazing!
WAS LOOKING FOR THAT INTERVIEW FOR AGES! Watched it like 30 times back in 2013😂
same lol
I met Don Rickles at an art gallery opening in Beverly Hills back in the 80’s, he was so kind and attentive, he was the type of person who you felt very comfortable with, it was like I’ve known him for years. Great interview!
Just stumbled on this and happy I did. Two masters of gab going toe to toe. Great pairing and highly entertaining.
I thoroughly enjoyed this banter, conversation between the two.
if that "My Way' bit wasnt planned by the band, that was awesome improv over just one line from Stern.
I was scrolling through comments to see who said something about the band just all immediately breaking into My Way because Stern said the words. I love watching musicians with that kind of skill
But also to let the black trumpet player play the lead on it after Stern’s ignorant comment about him is magnificent. The level of talent of that band is ridiculous.
"You know what you need? You need a banjo!" My laugh wake the whole house. 😂
Dave and Howard had such great rapport. They communicate so well and genuinely seem to "like" one another.
What a great interview. Such a masterclass by two of the greats
The only other people who can take over an interview for the entire segment without being asked a single question like Howard Stern are Robin Williams and Kevin Smith.
You only ask Mark Hamill one question. BOOM! Three hours go by, and he finally answers the question with context
and the late Norm Macdonald
Jeeeeez, the best talk show talking “inside baseball”. Dave was the greatest!! What commercial break?!?! 😂
Dave coughing while Stern tries to name drop is hilarious.
this was awesome !
This was an amazing interview. I absolutely loved it! THIS is good late night television. The guys nowadays need to step up their game.
I’m sure that Dave’s opinion of Brad Grey came from the tumultuous legal battle between Garry Shandling and Grey. Most people say that Grey ripped off Shandling to such a degree that it sent Garry into self imposed creative isolation. He was pretty much done with Hollywood after that. Sadly Shandling died much too young and Grey died not long after.
You should give more background on this because it's a dark story.
Garry Shandling was quite a bit ahead of his time. Then he made the Larry Sanders Show which was superb on many levels.
@@howard5992 His first show was better
These were the great old days, loved this.
Frank Greene's face (on trumpet) when Howard ask him about the man... "Why you hasslin' me??"
Amazing 😄 and unpredictable. Wow! Loved it!
I remember listening to Dave on Stern calling in during his heart surgery recovery. Quite the commentary on Leno, and who could guest host.
First time watching this interview. It's now one of my favorites. Only the fierce and overwhelming personality of Howard Stern could overcome Letterman on his own turf.
Howard never stops talking. It must have been exhausting for Dave. "You need a banjo" so funny, thanks Dave!
That's what a host wants a guest to do! It's harder work and less rewarding pulling teeth from guests who have nothing to say. It says a lot about a guest when Dave continually has them on and they get laughs and conversation out of him rather than just random filler questions.
I miss old KZhead when it showed the number of down votes. Because I hit it on this comment, dude. 👇
This is like a podcast episode, but on another level
This was so great 😂
This is pure gold! 😂
I love how every time Stern is on. Dave bumps commercial breaks and gets the ratings boost.
What an amazing exchange between industry icons who've seen it all
What a great segment!
That was so sweet and absolutely fantastic!!
Hilarious!!! Thanks for the laughs.
Many great moments were guests who were on equal footing with Dave, and Howard was always that. In fact, early Leno appearances were the same. Absolute, pure entertainment. ❤
Its refreshing to see an uncut, real conversation. Nobody was sellin' anything. Just two people in the biz ragging on each other a bit.
The golden age of late night TV was just brilliant and wonderful. I miss those days.
Foiled!!! Howard said we're not going to commercial break, and then KZhead goes to commercial anyway!!! 😂😂
this is fantastic
You'll never see a late night interaction like this again on TV. Loved seeing this, but sad there wont be more.
I'm in love with this.
8:13 for the Jay Leno rant.
You sir are a gentleman and a scholar all I cared about was the title
Oh boy, that's the Howard Stern that I remembered and loved. Those were the days!!
"Don't break for commercial when I say this is a remarkable story! Get out!!!" ROFLMFAO!!! 🙂
absolutely gold!!!
Letterman and Howard Stern are legends…I remember their 9/11 segments…Stern live and Letterman’s after the event…both just great at their individual talents; radio and television!!!
This was great 😂
Man, that interview was quite a ride haha.
Great stuff.
Howard Stern is so much more chilled now
Two masters of their craft duking it out!
I love this.
