    Steve's humor was the essence of the Letterman experience. The Nation needs more of this zany stuff.

    Mujibur and Serijul… I met them at an airport .. then saw them again at baggage claim at La Guardia… months later I was walking down Broadway and they saw me and it was “Hello my friend” so after that I always stopped and hung out with them when ever I was walking past their shop.

    There will never be another show like Late Night and Late Show. It truly was a miracle. Nothing like that will ever happen again. Everyone did such a wonderful job. Thanks Dave!

    • @thelettermanpodcast
      @thelettermanpodcast 5 месяцев назад +7

      Dave was the gold standard of broadcasting and an unrivaled instantaneous wit. And then he surrounded himself with genius level talent for all the collaborative positions. Mr O’Donnell is the gold standard of those collaborators.

    The series of appearances by Meg Parsont on Letterman's show(s) is quite possibly the greatest thing to ever broadcast on late night television.

    Discovering Meg across the street was a wonderful bit of good luck, for sure. Great close to this themed group of Favorite Moments, and loved the background memories of how it happened to come about.

    I started watching this clip at breakfast and woke up at 12:30am. As an Ohio native, it's nice to see a warped midwestern sense of humor behind the success of my favorite show. I really miss Don Pardo.

    We were on a family trip from Michigan to South Dakota to visit family. My parents were thrilled to see the crew at Mount Rushmore, we were all devastated when OJ cut the segment.

  • @davewestner
    @davewestner 5 месяцев назад +4

    That was great, but I must have somehow missed parts 1 and 2, which I will now find.
    But it occurs to me that Steve would make an excellent narrator voice for cartoons. I could imagine him narrating something like the Grinch or something along those lines. He's got such an interesting voice.

    • @thelettermanpodcast
      @thelettermanpodcast 5 месяцев назад +1

      He was great on our show too.
      And speaking of cartoons he worked on Space Ghost :)

    • @bodyslamhimjeff
      @bodyslamhimjeff 5 месяцев назад

      You said narrator, but my brain read host, which would also be good. He’s that affable, dryer kind of silly you get from a Midwesterner. I could see him introducing his favorite UPA cartoons or talking about why this director handled Daffy better than that one. Like the guy on TCM but for goofuses.

    • @davewestner
      @davewestner 5 месяцев назад +1

      ​@@bodyslamhimjeff host would work too....good call! He definitely has the overall vibe for either of those kinds of things.

    I went to that same high school, John Marshall in Cleveland. Coach Quayle was a hard-assed. I was fortunate to never have him, but I did have to run on that underground track many times. I'm surprised we didn't all come down with some lung disease.

    Late Night doesn’t get on the air without Dave and Merrill… but I bet it wouldn’t have become a phenomenon without Steve O’Donnell. The whole show was based on finding the perfect mix of brilliant and stupid, and he made sure everyone understood what was happening. You could do 10 more videos with Steve and he’d still have hilarious bits left over.

    I don't remember when or why but Dave in the late 90s had fun yelling out "hey, dude!" which is a line in a Mott The Hoople song. I always wondered what the context was.

    On your next visit, ask that the temples on your eyeglasses actually fit over your ears.
    You got ripped off. 😢
