Hi, Mike! I took the full ride, good buddy. I watched all four videos and thoroughly enjoyed every second of them. I laughed out loud as the younger crop of comic geniuses paid tribute to Dave, and when they showed the highlight reel covering his 32 year career as host of a late night show, I was surprised by how many of the guests and bits I remember seeing at the time those episodes were first broadcast.
I needed surgery at the end of January 1983 and spent several weeks in bed recuperating. I stayed up late every night to see the new show that had everybody buzzing, Late Night With David Letterman. I have been a huge Letterman fan ever since. Dave along with a handful of other comics are responsible for influencing and shaping my style of humor.
Thank you very much, Mike, for posting this great salute to David Letterman. It truly is the end of an era!
Great Mike! I watched the Kennedy Honors for Led Zepplin that night, so I caught Dave too!! Good memories there. I thought the steam machine and Richard Simmons was hysterical! I didn't realize Bob Dylan wrote that song! He actually sounds good.
You've made my day with another creative tribute! Bye-bye Dave, we'll miss you.
I mentioned tonight was his last show in class today, and the kiddos weren't sure what I was talking about. It took them a couple minutes to catch up.
End of an era.
