  This is why this channel is lightyears better than the Letterman channel. If you have nothing to do one weekend you can just waste it all on these collections. Pure joy.

  My dad always told me my uncle was on letterman. I never believed him until I finally found this clip 💕 RIP Uncle George 💕

  Since the very beginning of the late night talk show, it has been used as a vehicle for celebrities to promote their movies, TV shows, books, etc.  But those weren't the ONLY guests, until the last couple decades.  I miss these types of whimsical guests.

  I admit I cried a little at the end of the “name guy” segment

  A really touching moment when Name Man is introduced to the staff and the staff’s response.

  People who come at life from a different angle make life interesting, and sometimes open our mind to the possibility of allowing us to expand our horizons in ways we would have probably overlooked.<br><br>In some ways it reminds me of the enthusiasm and inquisitiveness of a child, life seems to drain us of this as we grow, but some manage to hold on to that freedom, I envy that a bit.

  I&apos;m so happy to know I&apos;m not the only one who finds this material to be timeless. I loved Johnny Carson and I love Dave as much as the next guy. This is the stuff that set him apart from everyone else. Bringing the nut lady and the potato chip lady into our lives.

  This is fantastic television, I love it so much. It&apos;s weird to me that with all the cameras and media outlets at our disposal that there is no regular outlet for lovable eccentrics to the wider world... or is there, and it&apos;s somewhere that is sort of a secret midnight experience, like Late Night was...

  God bless Lowell Davis. So sweet and so accommodating by rattling off all of the names at the end.
