    I tend to watch that ending montage every now and then. The montage mixed with the rockin’ music from Foo Fighters really encapsulated the show’s overall attitude and themes into a neat little package.
    Kudos to Barbara Gaines and her team for this huge undertaking of pouring over thousands of hours of footage to take the fans of the show, new and old alike, on a 33-year trip down memory lane. It was a marvelous send-off and a brilliant bookend to an historic run of late night television. Brava and bravo to everyone who worked on the show on a job well done.

    I'm not even north american, I'm brazilian, but this video always gets me whenever I watch it. So many good and memorable moments, people grew up watching the show. Sadly everything comes to an end sometime. I think about it when I see really old footage of TV shows or artists performing, so many poeple living the time of their lives at the moment, and they're probably all gone by now. It makes me glad I can enjoy the shows I grew up to, the songs, the bands, the movies. It's not just about entertainment, it's about company, moments and memories. Nobody saw it in the past and people will have other things in the future. It's our time to be alive and enjoy it.

Watching this makes me really appreciate how amazing the American culture used to be between music, TV, movies, arts, comedy, politics, entertainment, etc. I’m a teacher now, and seeing the lack of interest in pop culture history is both astounding and heartbreaking. This truly was the pinnacle of America, and we have these memories to help us feel that nostalgia. Thank you Dave, for everything.
