- By request. Four-year-old child genius Lulu Cash Gibson guests on Late Night after having flown in from London two weeks earlier but was bumped. Into the break, the band plays, of course, "To Sir With Love."
Lucinda Cash-Gibson is currently a highly accredited professor at Univ. Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona and writes on Public Health matters
Professor of what? A lot of these kids who are supposed geniuses go on to live every average lives.
@Ordinary Pete probably not Professor of Logic at the university of science.
@@mem1701movies dog house owner, perhaps?
@@tubester4567 she's a professor at u of Spain in Madrid. And u r response is she's probably average? U won't be booked on Late Night soon, cause a genius u r not
I was just wondering what she was up to in her adult life. She was a total cutie pie in this interview!
Her laughing at Letterman saying he was smart is priceless.
She was right too lol
It took .00012 seconds to laugh in his face.
Bingo!
H8 b h
At four, she was even smarter than everyone thought.
She was the youngest member of MENSA at the age of 4 1/2 yrs with an IQ of 161. She's doing very well now she's Professor and Dr Lucinda Cash Gibson BSc, MSc, MRes, PhD.
Awesome fact check . Wonderful outcome
Thanks for sharing 💐
Wow
Now there's a 3 year old
mensa💀
If cuteness were sunlight...she would shine from a million miles away.😇
Yep, approximately 93 million on average.
@@BeckVMH Oh Stevee, You are just too smart. 😉
WAW u would really flatter me if you ever wrote to me☺️🤭❤️
@@iagreewithyou749 the happiest I've ever been. It was a sunset in Costa Rico. It was the most amazing color I've ever seen. I couldn't figure out how to explain the beauty of the sky. I thought I'd never see a color so beautiful. Then, I saw your eyes. It was the same exact color as on the beach. Thank you of reminding me of that amazing day. Would that be good?🤫🤔
@@montemccarty6512 WAW yes!
That's amazing
U can be a poet👊😍
Nice to see that she’s still has a child like spirit.
He said who's the bone-headed VP and everyone thinks of the current one (with her 28% approval rating)
@@noahhyde8769 Better than your one percent approval rating as a scholar.
Yeah it's like she is 4 years old or something.
Wow! I can not believe they did absolutely nothing in this segment to prove her intelligence, I was hoping to be so impressed
They flew her twice for THAT?! Indeed, very disappointing. Anyway, she was a cute kid and she's doing well as an adult, so good for her.
This was a farce. They flew her all the way over from London, and Letterman did all the talking trying to be funny - obviously determined not to share the spotlight.
All she could do was to answer yes or no to his nonsense - as time ran out.
As a result, they could have placed any kid in that chair.
@@lisasim it was awkward
@Gwendolynn Sue doe you need a hobby, When you scroll through comment sections to look missed spelled words usually due to "text talk" you got some serious issues..
@Gwendolynn Sue doe Hmm is a non-contraction of the original two words a misspelling? Doubt we’re dealing with that level of syntactic sophistication.
Best line " the answers arent here , I'll have to take your word for it " 😂
My favorite genius is Don Giller for capturing so much of Letterman's history! Us Letterman fans and NBC owes you a tremendous amount of thanks!
Her smile, giggles, laughter is precious! So sweet, beautiful and bright! 🤭☺️❤️
The way little girls used to grow up
She was adorable. Too bad he didn't have more time for her.
David letterman just treats her like a child, and she is delighted. Not what I was expecting with the title, but very sweet.
🥰🥰🥰🥰so adorable I could never get enough of her wish she was on longer
Sames I was agreeing with the audience when they said they didn't have any time left
Gorgeous kid and could you imagine the laughs you get being around a super cute and smart kid like her. She's a blessing
All children are adorable, even the less smart.
Children are all blessings 😊😊
Somebody needs to have her on now as she is a professor. That would be fun.
Especially if we can ask if she KNOWS and UNDERSTANDs the bioweapon -19.
@@gforcewindswinds291 She would certainly make short work of whackos like you.
Janet Partyka Maybe on "My next guest needs no introduction"?
Yeah, and she could interview Letterman, he'd have the wits of a 4 yr old.
@@gforcewindswinds291 and as a native english speaker maybe you can discern
the text better than I can.
That interview didn’t show her intelligence very well , flew her over twice for that ! She was so adorable..
Correct. And, yes. Granted the DLS is a comedy talk show, so the "test" was not proper, or even meant to be: knowledge does not equate to intelligence, necessarily. Oh well, was still fun to watch :)
@@pashadyne Perhaps. But I have to think her acceptance into Mensa was based on an INTELLIGENCE test, NOT a KNOWLEDGE test. And my understanding is that one can increase their knowledge, but not their intelligence - though perhaps this has been challenged. lately. Anyhow, I do know the kinds of questions on a Mensa test, and they are about pattern recognition, and the like, but not about knowledge in and of itself. Unfortunately, terms, concepts, associations/relations are often conflated by those who don't fully contemplate them. Oh well.
@@pashadyne Hm? Sorry I was taken to be shouting, as it was not my intent. The caps were for emphasis, not as shouting. Anyhow, yes, she said she didn't take a test, but I suspect she misspoke, as I can't imagine anyone, at any age, accepted into Mensa w/o taking an approved test - though I guess they could have made an exception. Anyhow, I didn't mean to outright dispute that knowledge at a young age might indicate some level of intelligence, only intended to note the generally view that they are not necessarily connected. I think we are much of the same mind, just having a slight communication issue. As George Bernard Shaw has been attributed as saying, "The single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place."! :D Take care, and be well...
How old is she now 2021? What has become of her now?
Truth
"You can't even suck your own thumb" Lmaooooo 🤣🤣🤣 best come back ever🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dave: "You know, I'm a pretty smart guy."
Girl: Laughs her head off! (HILARIOUS!)
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dave is highly intelligent.
She's s o intelligent that she's STILL WEARING A NAPPY. at the age of three . ! None of the children in our family were wearing nappies after r nine months old.!
Russia is not a country it is a continent. I don't think she is particularly intelligent
She had s imply been t aught a set of facts. and memorized t hem.
@@valerieobrien5521 russia is indeed a country but the size of a continent but yes some children do memorize a set of facts and thus appear highly intelligent whereas their problem solving ability is much more limited
@@valerieobrien5521 Russia is a country, and Google her name. She is definitely highly intelligent.
If cuteness is smart, she's a freaking genius!
There was nothing here that suggested she was anything other than a youngster with average intelligence.
@@generalyellor2187 average intelligence doesn’t get one into MENSA.
@@jennys.214 No one is denying that she was smart enough to get accepted into MENSA, just that it wasn't obvious in the interview. She came across as a typical 4 year old.
Wow they weren't kidding. Look this kiddo up now. She has so many letters after her name for all of her degrees, I'm pretty sure they are going to move onto numbers and symbols next haha.
"If children grew up according to early indications, we should have nothing but geniuses." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Here's where she is now: Currently working at Vall d'Hebron Research Institute (VHIR), involved in the scientific coordination of EU-PEARL project. Also a Collaborative Researcher with the Research Group on Health Inequalities, Environment, and Employment Conditions (GREDS-EMCONET), Dept of Political and Social Sciences,Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona, Spain) The Johns Hopkins - UPF Public Policy Center (JHU-UPF PPC).
@Recuts I'm guessing you have a particular problem with muslims, why is that?
If early indicators are large enough.. I would think it matters.
@Recuts it's the Establishment that you should be angry at....they rule everything.
@Recuts And which country is that?
Ah what a nice interview, not too much pressure and plenty of fun for the little girl
When she laughs at him the innocence of a child.
This is a sentence?
Cliche comment
@@kwisclubta7175 Nope 🤪🤪
I don't think that's taught in schools anymore. Not punctuation, grammar, or spelling, it seems -- the very basics of language.
I like how she laughs when asked "Do you smoke?" hehehe...
"I'm a pretty smart guy" how she cracks up is gold
Nah she laughs cuz she burns out with the best of them
Precious ❤️girl
@@marymccloskey1201 cute
What an adorable, gorgeous bright kid with beautiful shoes, hair and what a dolly walk and oh so innocent yet mature.
Mature? In what way? She struck me as a perfectly ordinary 4 year old.
A perfectly normal 4 year old. Absolutely enchanting, though 😊
you can tell she s smart by the way she sits there like a grownup.
how she looks, talks, watch and see everything... it is sublime, the air of a gifted creature.
a 4 year old would n t be able to sit for 3 sec.
Yes, I thought the same. 4:34 how she looked at the bubble machine and gauged how the audience reacted. Processing.
Some 4 year olds, maybe. I've known 4 year olds who can sit still and answer questions. In fact, it's a fairly recent phenomenon that 4 year olds can't sit still for 5 minutes. It used to be that most of them could and did.
I can’t believe this clip came up! I remember watching this episode when it came on.
Omg…that laugh of hers is so beautiful to hear. Dave is amazing with children!
he was fucking weird... he was obviously nervous, talking nonsense, complementing her appearance multiple times. I mean, couldn't he ask about school, pets or something? he never talked to a kid before? wtf. Also, of course he couldn't control himself at the end and had to put her on his lap. Fucking old creep
And animals! (RIP Bob😘)
This is the video i needed in 2021. Thanks RUclips
I think she would have liked some more interesting questions.
A study in how to artlessly fritter away time by avoiding asking intelligent questions of an intelligent child: commenting on appearance /cuteness, inconsequential facts, irrelevant chatter, mildly mocking comments directed at her intelligence and finally creepy proximity!
@@meganc5884 That's YOU reading all that creepiness into this. Says more about you than Letterman.
I think she would've like a more interesting interviewer 🤓
@ Megan C. Very insightful comment.
"What's the capital of Assyria?" is historically a tough question.
She was so smart that she studied what would get her over in America at the time and determined that ultimate cuteness was the key!
She was adorable, let her shine brighter and show her intelligence to all of us, interview didn't go quite like it should've!!
She's just so adorable. I've never seen anything cuter. What a sweetheart.
So true my friend
You never had kids? Never cuter? Get out in the world
@@KQwest98 ?
Precious and hilarious! And so is that little girl also...😉
@@heavnnnsent wdym she’s “😉”
Letterman should've given her a large doll house.
Such a cute little girl, the interview was precious.
Ah yes, TV was actually fun 30+ years ago when late night TV featured real comedians and Guests wore gorgeous attire!!
She's adorable, love her laugh.
Wow she's a genius🙄 She's so smart that she behaves like a normal child to fool us
Her laughter is so unforced.
I like how Letterman doesn’t talk down to kids; yet makes them laugh.
Are you kidding? He was so arrogant and condescending it's almost unimaginable. (Sorry, I seem to have missed your irony).
letterman talked the whole time. The kid had no chance to say anything.
I much prefer how Carson used to handle these kind of interviews. He was a natural with children and animals. I think the key to his success here was that he used to park his ego at the stage door, as it were, and just let the guests shine.
I often wonder why in heck Letterman ever had kids on at all. He is so awkward and uncomfortable with them. Am I right or am I missing something?
@@1960markN That's certainly how I see it. I feel really uncomfortable watching him interact with chikdren. Never felt that way with Carson. He played it liked someone's favourite uncle or beloved grandfather with a ready smile and twinkle in his eye.
"Ehh... Rusher." I remember that well. Dave would ask so many kids if they smoked. I'd venture to guess he never got a bigger laugh than this one out of that question. Thanks Mr. Donz! I really appreciate what you're doing here.
That is the sweetest little girl!
OMG, she was ADORABLE!!!!!
She handles an interview well.
Like any other four-year-old.
yup,she listens think and responds in a timely manner.
He didn't give her much of a chance. All she could do was answering yes and no, and time was gone.
The interview was like the bubbles that was supposed to amaze her...puff.
What an adorable child.
This was an interview with a child genius. Meanwhile, a fellow commented that this interview was a (waist), a (waist) of time. How wonderfully amusing. She was tiny, and so she had a tiny waist, but I didn't see this as a waste of time, not at all.
😂😂😂a waist of time!!!
A mind is a terrible thing to midriff.
@@sdkerby What an abdominal pun.
Thank you ; the level of nastiness of some of these commenters -- directed at a FOUR YEAR OLD -- is mind boggling.
@@patricias5122 As of this year she would be thirty six, but still. She was a sweet, harmless, adorable child.
She is so cute and sweet! She reminds me of my first daughter so very much.
I miss Johnny and Dave. When Talk shows were great.
And didn’t talk about politics that no one cares about.
I don’t miss Letterman and grouping him in with Carson is an insult to Carson. Carson was at least funny. Letterman was a narcissistic jerk whose one great accomplishment was to make it fashionable for middle aged men to continue to act sophomoric. He was a negative influenced of the culture while Carson was a credit to it. Carson’s show was light and healthy and appealed to the better side of us while Letterman’s was dark and disturbing and appealed to the baser side of our nature. His humor was ascerbic and biting. He tore down while Carson built up.
@@alextaylor8776 that no one cares about?! What planet are you living on?
@@Person-mh6xq Klingon Homeworld and all I got to say to you is yIDoghQo.
@@CSUnger : Clearly, you don’t remember Carson that well. His opening monologue was full of topical humor & jokes about politicians. And when in New York City, his guests included John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Nixon & other political figures. But when he moved the show to California, the show leaned heavily on Hollywood personalities & cheap laughs. Letterman, starting at 12:30, & being based in New York, was more experimental, more about parodying the whole genre. Carson always favored Letterman, & wanted him to succeed him as the host, but the network preferred Leno.
Having a sense of humor is a sure-fire sign of intelligence, especially
in young kids, who mostly tend to take tongue-in-cheek statements
literally and don't recognize irony ("You smoke?")
That makes me feel smarter..
Should have brought her back a third time. She was sharp and adorable.
I want to believe her immediately laughing at him saying he's a pretty smart guy is a sign of genius level comedic timing, and she understands what she did there.
Nah just a kid being a kid
@@swirlingfudge I agree, you can be plenty good with numbers but I think understanding social cues and wordplay and stuff like that comes with age
@@ryliel3130 Yes, and that is why the OP said he WANTS to believe it.
They really spent their time to explain and demonstrate this girls genius in this segment...
hey it's Letterman, what did you expect?...
She was precious!
The way she said cause people tell me is amazing ahahahahhh
No affectation there and that is very smart for a young child.... She's adorable.
I'm glad he was having fun with her and not making it a science experience. 😀
I scored in the top 1% of societal intelligence quotient and I live a normal fulfilling life. I love God so I'm happy being me. My family turned down mensa when I was in the 1st grade. Some local college professors had me put in the paper for understanding vast chemicals and their interactions, also in the 1st grade. I hope my daughter is more intelligent than I and does something good to benefit humanity.
The more astonishing thing was seeing a British child. They're elusive. Like baby pigeons, you never see them.
What a charming young person she was... a real sweetie pie.
The sweetest little munchkin I’ve ever seen!
She's in jail now.
@@redwater4778 Don't try to start rumors.
My gosh, that kid is adorable! That smile...
4 years old kid understands the adult joke very well and you are asking if she even smart?
"Lulu Cash Gibson" is a tremendous name. Also a great interviewer
@Chi Sam got me! Should've said interviewee. boy, my face sure is red! Thanks for the call out friend :)
@Chi Sam ever since I saw beauty and the beast as a young chap I have avoided the word! How dare you
If ever there was a 'genius' late night talk show host, David Letterman was it. I even miss the bubble machine!!
💩💩💩💩💩
@@CIoseyourmouth I don't understand
"To Sir, with Love" 😌...awww, great film, wonderful song, sung by Lulu, about a beloved teacher...Paul was himself always a bit of a genius with his lead in and break songs, always brought me such delight!
💜😉💖 I miss this show. 😔
What are YOU smoking???
She's adorable. I love that laughter and giggles.

Remember when we had real late night talk show hosts?
Bill Bored - You can't seriously mean Letterman? He has been a jackass buffoon his entire life. There was nothing funny about him, but the size of his own ego. Couldn't stand watching him.. he was so untalented. Leno, Carson and the greats, letterman will never be.
@@ms.farmgirl Thanks for letting me know your opinion on Letterman. So interesting.
@Fvck Off Peoples opinions of a talk show host = FACT. Makes perfect sense, LOL :)
@Fvck Off You responded to my post..... yeah? I wasn't letting YOU know, I just made a comment. You just had to disagree, just had to let me know YOUR opinion. So your response there, doesn't quite work. But hey, good try. But hey, your 'opinion as fact,' will always make me laugh.... we have that. :)
@Fvck Off Yours too. Ok, I'm off to watch some reruns of Letterman, best late night talk show host! Cheers.
How sweet both of them🤭💗
I don't know who is this girl and i know that she is 16 years older than me now but when i see this interview it makes me feel like i want to protect her she is soo adorable! 🤗
I don’t care how smart you are , you gotta love bubbles .
Boom Shock a lock a Bubbles
I must say though, I wish we had got to see some of her smartnes here on this show, asking her two questions wasn't convincing me of anything. She might be smart and a genious but this clip didn't show it.
All Dave needs is kid to goof around with and he's gold.
Johnny was great with kids too.
Looking at this she be 36 years old today love to see her again
What an adorable little girl!
He was right, that was a cute dress.
She is so adorable!
I miss Letterman so much!! She was a cutie... I actually remember when she was on! Wow I'm old I guess! 💕😂💕
Dave was great with kids in his own way. Always treated them nice, and would throw in a few jokes over there heads that the adults would get, without being inappropriate.

Hi Nancy, it’s nice meeting you here.. I’m Richard by name, it would be nice getting to know you better, if that’s ok with you? My mom once said good friends are never too much to have. if you don’t mind, can we be friends??
Lovely smile you got there on your profile picture, it can brighten up the most darkest atmosphere of any man’s world😉
That's what someone with good parents is able to achieve. If you come from a bad family and have a high IQ, expect to be punished and dumbed down as much as possible the moment you enter public school.
I always wondered how you can determine that a 4 year old kid is a genius. I would assume that it would be primarily by assessing their problem solving skills as how much have they seen at such an early age. Come on knowing who is the president is not a sign of cleverness even at 4 years old. One thing for sure she is lovely and look very happy a good start in life.
I was tested at age Six sitting age appropriate puzzles and problem solving questions. I am gifted, an abstract thinker. However, I didn't have pushy parents.
When I was tested at age 5, it was with the Stanford-Binet instrument. Like Thomson I was asked age-appropriate questions and did puzzles. I also read out loud the notes that the woman facilitating the tests wrote on her paper - in cursive, and upside down to me, sitting across from her. The woman didn't believe I could possibly do that, so she wrote more and I read it back to her from across the table again. I ended up scoring a 144 on my intelligence test - and still play Scrabble upside down to this day!
Her telling him he didn’t know how to suck his thumb was genius comedic timing
@@bluemoon1972 It's really good that you're so smart. And humble!
I was tested at the age of 4, in the 1950s. At that age, I could read my dad’s doctoral thesis - I didn’t know what all the words meant, but I could read it. The only part I clearly remember is being shown pictures of different piles of blocks and had to quickly say how many blocks were in each; it was easy and fun!
So adorable ❤
I found an article that stated Lucinda Cash-Gibson became the youngest-ever member of Mensa in 1989 at the age of four and a half with an IQ of 161. She was so adorable.

Hello Susan
How are you?
Dave is soo good with kids, I'm glad he had one.
You consider that good with kids? She hardly said 3 words.
@@ViaticalTree I taught young children for 35 years. You are correct. He won’t draw any child out with yes/no questions.
Dave isn't good with anyone. He has interesting guests and sometimes he doesnt spoil the interview completely. He is a condescending prick.
This is how I lost my talk show. I tired to make it about me instead of hurling watermelons out the window.
When going to break, the band played "To Sir with Love" by Lulu.
One of my all-time favorite songs when it first came out...and even now! it really meant something to me...think it was like 1967-68 something like that...it just was beautiful and so passionate....I loved it
Good for you. I missed that.
It's hard not to like such a cute kid.
help
my ice cold heart
it's melting
"Rusher..."
So lovely to get an update on lil lulu
That was sweet!
"To Sir, With Love" sung by Lulu. Very clever.
She's still just a kid. I imagine so many people telling a kid they are highly intelligent would have it's dangers. Glad it turned out well
I watched his show every night after becoming an adult in 1990.
It came on at 11:30 pm. I had to get up for work at 6:30 am. I couldn't do that today on 5-1/2 hours of sleep.
@@pattiday431 I wish I could get 5.5 hours of sleep a night. I'm lucky if I get a full 4 a night. Never watched this show however, can't stand the guy!
