      Dave was sleepwalking his way through this entire interview, constantly sighing while Matt was talking and couldn't wait to shake his hand while he was mid story just to end the segment, he had no interest in the cartoon and yet for the next five years at least it would be an unavoidable part of the early 90s zeitgeist and he'd know who Matt was then.

  • @toddserotiuk9968
    @toddserotiuk9968 Год назад +9

    I remember watching this segment with a ton of excitement, being a huge fan of both Life in Hell and Letterman. Groening's only semi-mainstream exposure at this point was the Simpsons shorts on the Tracey Ullman Show, so seeing a guy who was basically a fringe underground cartoonist on Late Night felt like a big deal. Groening was more the kind of guest that they'd booked in the first couple of seasons. I remember Dave being much more testy about the Romper Room discussion than this clip reveals. My impression might be partly due to Matt's subsequent appearance on the show -- after the Simpsons was a bonafide phenomenon -- when Dave apologized for this previous interaction, chalking it up to the fact that he really didn't know or understand who Groening was.
