My name is hassan I'm from egypt I moved to Brooklyn New York in 93 . I use to watch your show when I was in egypt you and the great city of New York was one the many reasons made me move to the us ..been watching your show for 20 plus years..and you like a father figure to me.. .I love you Dave and I wish health and wealth upon on you ..god bless you
I started watching him in 1987 when I was 8. Had an old small tv in my room at 9 after much begging to watch his show. He was there through my teen years. My college years. My troubled years. My becoming an adult years until he retired now 5 years ago almost to the day. I left work early, took the subway down to the Sullivan Theater and stood around with a bunch of other people on the day of his retirement, just absorbing it all in. A lifetime of him being there at 12:30 and 11:30 no matter what kind of day life had thrown at me. He was there making me laugh to soften the blow. I miss him tremendously.
Do love Dave from the early beginning shows to today! Made me get through many late nights wide awake as a "kid" to approach the next day. A modest genius of my lifetime following him into me being an "old man" of 53 now!
Letterman has probably heard this Thoreau quote before, but it's worth repeating: "Many go fishing all their lives without knowing it's not fish they are after." I never regret not catching a fish, because simply in pursuing them, I will be in some of the most beautiful places on earth. How could I lose?
I love Dave so much. The pace of this interview does not match Dave's energy at all but I'll take what I can get. A real fan should've interviewed him.
Always my favorite host. Even liked him more than Carson. Never knew he was a fisherman,ESPECIALLY a FLY FISHERMAN!! Always remember Dave, it’s FISHING, not CATCHING! Sometimes we do it just to BE there - the wonderful places trout live.🤠
Its so good to see Dave again.....great man always find a way to make me laught.... Dave doing his things , just being David Letterman..... was a joy to watch still is....beautifull soul , never lost the child within him....love you Dave ....bless your beautifull fam....stay healthy wealthy and may your life be happy and joyfull
I never tried to fly fish like Dave & Willie did in this video. I use a spin casting rod the same way my grandfather taught me, like a conductor in an orchestra. It drives the fish nuts. I catch Northern pike, brook trout, small mouth bass, blue gill and perch. Clean 'em, roll 'em in corn meal and fry 'em in Crisco. Yum! Yum!
I wish Willie would have asked about his feelings on aging and how his interviewing approach in the new show differs from his old late night celebrity interviews.
5:40 - David has been saying this "I'll not be around for long" in terms with how long he will be with his son, as he is an older father. However Harry has been lucky to have David around since he was born in 2003. 16 years. I only had my dad around for 10 years, when he died from lung cancer when I was ten in 1995. So Harry should count his blessings to have David around for as long as possible, because when your dad is dead, that is hard, trust me, I know.
Just lost my dad last year, he was 90. I was so lucky to have him around my whole life! Especially the last couple of years helping take care of him. By spending lots of time, listening to stories about his childhood and adult life we got close and healed from all the strife of the past. Spend time with your loved ones while you can.
@@mikefannon6994 Well my dad died in November 1995. I was 10. I remember the day very well. It is burned onto my memory and never goes away. I was at my grandparents home, my mother went to visit dad in hospital as usual. He knew he was dying from lung cancer which spread all over his body. He died very peacefully with my mother and grandfather at his bedside, sadly I wasn't there. He left instructions not to bring me to the hospital to see him, as he didn't want me, 10 years old at the time, to see his dad die from that horrible cancer. I was with my grandmother and uncle in their home. Our priest came to the house at 4.30pm to inform me. I can remember it right now as I type this to you.
I can speak for Dave, as I am getting up there myself. When you are younger, you know very well that someday you won't be around and it's just a simple fact of life. However when you get older. Ten years flies by in away that it just didn't when you were younger and you see how much ten years changes you physically after a certain point. All I can say is that you become part of a whole new reality that you've never experienced. I tell kids every single day, who spend their lives gaming while there is whole world right outside. They'll never be as young or feel as good as they do right now. Someday they'll be so achy and tired that they'll really regret their lost life, but at that point it's too late.
My late Mother and I would sit up many a nights watching David Letterman she would not let me go to sleep until it was over I MISS THOSE DAYS.. Good Times
Thanks for all the nice replies and thumbs UP. I MISS MY MOTHER DEARLY I salute her on this Memorial Day she served in the United States Army..Miss You Mom
The greatest gift DL gave us on changing talk shows forever, was to end the rehearsed Q&A deal, the obvious programmed conversation, and to make it unpredictable. I will never fprgot him getting Mr. T furious on live TV, as he completely yanked people from any possibility of a comfort zone while on his shows.
When I was a lot younger, there were just a few reasons that I wanted to go to New York. One was to go to a Dave Letterman show, just wanted to see Dave in person! I missed out, there will never be another late show host like Dave! The guys that came along after him just don't hold a candle!
David Letterman, your son will start liking you again when he's about 16. He will want to share everything with you. Been there, done that, with my daughter :) Twelve to fifteen was tough.
My name is hassan I'm from egypt I moved to Brooklyn New York in 93 .
I use to watch your show when I was in egypt you and the great city of New York was one the many reasons made me move to the us ..been watching your show for 20 plus years..and you like a father figure to me..
.I love you Dave and I wish health and wealth upon on you ..god bless you
Sam I concur with your sentiment. Egypt is a fabulous place to visit.
Enjoy America.

This is not Dave's post box!
So many college nights spent drinking beer, eating dominos pizza and watching Dave. Thanks for the memories. :)
Dave is looking great and still has all of his wit and dry humor and charm and intelligence. God bless you Dave, we miss you!
Saudade dele ele se aposentku
Looking great? Man you need glasses.
I wish he had said the story was, "The beard is for my second career which is boxcar hobo".
Willie Geist is THE greatest treasure on tv today in my opinion…..what a true GEM he is!
I have so much affection for David Letterman.

Dave, you're The Man!! You always were...and you're still the greatest!
Left the show 5 years ago. Feels like 20.
Michael Wayne I can't believe he was on for 33 years! That flew by.
I miss you, Dave! Late Night talk shows are not the same without you & Craig Ferguson.
I'll be looking forward to your new season on Netflix.
David, you're so flipping cool. God bless you and your family.
Letterman is the best , always a joy to listen to.
I have always loved Dave's uber-dry sense of humour and overall demeanor.
I sure do love & miss you,sweet,funny,David!

I sooo miss letterman!!! Watched every night!!! No one like him at all!! Such a great, funny man! Would love to just sit down and chat!!❤
Oops! There goes another one!
Love you, Dave! That Beard is AWESOME! 🥰
I really admire you fisherman who are tallented enough to catch fish you can take home. I can never seem to fit mine inside the car.
It was always fun when Dave would have his mother as a guest!
Five years retired and still best monologues ever in late night, including Carson.
Always my favorite host. Even liked him more than Carson. Never knew he was a fisherman,ESPECIALLY a FLY FISHERMAN!! Always remember Dave, it’s FISHING, not CATCHING! Sometimes we do it just to BE there - the wonderful places trout live.🤠
Never be fooled by Dave he is a very smart man.
Usually the guys who downplay their intelligence are probably chess hustlers.
Very smart: well-read and incredibly quick-witted. And still self-effacing. Brings to mind Norm MacDonald, as well.
letterman's a class act. you did good willie! 🤘
Dave enjoying the golden years.
Sweet & heartwarming. Before beard & after. Love it.
Love Dave. He can do whatever he wants in retirement. Like grow that beard. Enjoy Dave!!!
I loved the running joke on his show about how certain issues will be his son's stepfather's problem !!
He was one intern away from that joke being reality .
Its so good to see Dave again.....great man always find a way to make me laught.... Dave doing his things , just being David Letterman..... was a joy to watch still is....beautifull soul , never lost the child within him....love you Dave ....bless your beautifull fam....stay healthy wealthy and may your life be happy and joyfull
Always a joy seeing a recent Dave
Watched this with headphones on and could hear the trout jumping. Drove me nuts
I never tried to fly fish like Dave & Willie did in this video. I use a spin casting rod the same way my grandfather taught me, like a conductor in an orchestra. It drives the fish nuts. I catch Northern pike, brook trout, small mouth bass, blue gill and perch. Clean 'em, roll 'em in corn meal and fry 'em in Crisco. Yum! Yum!
Such a eloquent well spoken man.
Nice segment and enjoyed the interview. Dave is great about being authentic and genuine and that is inviting and inclusive the humor is a bonus !
Dave is hilarious. Get his sense of humor. I would have been cracking up the whole interview if I were the anchor.
dude, it's realistic. you are loved by us fans (in spite of yourself!)
I wish Willie would have asked about his feelings on aging and how his interviewing approach in the new show differs from his old late night celebrity interviews.
Mark Thomson yeah interview sometime miss the big questions like this
I love his new show! He is so entertaining to watch. :)
Thanks Dave.

What a genuine soul
My late Mother and I would sit up many a nights watching David Letterman she would not let me go to sleep until it was over I MISS THOSE DAYS.. Good Times
I'm sorry about the loss of your mom.
Thanks for all the nice replies and thumbs UP. I MISS MY MOTHER DEARLY I salute her on this Memorial Day she served in the United States Army..Miss You Mom

Miss you hosting Letterman show
letterman describes my fishing experience perfectly, "every fish i catch, is a mistake.
Enjoyed this a lot. Letterman was real!
Lovely interview, Dave is our man.
I had David Letterman as a Hoosier project!
I'll B patiently waitin' for Part 2
OMG, fishing with Dave. What fun!
When I was a lot younger, there were just a few reasons that I wanted to go to New York. One was to go to a Dave Letterman show, just wanted to see Dave in person! I missed out, there will never be another late show host like Dave! The guys that came along after him just don't hold a candle!
I bet he really loves life now. He looks relaxed.
Adorable!❤️
We love you dave.
I remember, so well.(the last night, ever, I viewed a late-night talk show).
I'm a flyfisher too , always wondedred if he did with living in Montana and all ......sooooo glad he is into it ......''tight lines'' , Dave !!!
wondered
I live in a desert, one day when I retire I will move to Indonesia and fish all day
Same ol’ Dave. Enjoying semi-retirement.
David Letterman, your son will start liking you again when he's about 16. He will want to share everything with you. Been there, done that, with my daughter :) Twelve to fifteen was tough.
Love ya Dave!!!!
Enjoyed his show so much.
We miss you Dave. We dig the beard.
David Letterman is Awesome !!............PERIOD !!
How cute...Dave is just wonderful...[on camera].
David Letterman is now a real life Santa
i love dave letterman i hope he'll be happy in his life ..he worked hard with big success for his money
he is my hero
WHENS PART 2
Yea, where's part 2?!
The Today Show neglected to post part 2.
there's a piece of it, at least ruclips.net/video/Mub1CxOb8hM/видео.html
Dave obviously doesn’t get hassled by people, that beard beats any costume department 😂😂
Miss letterman show
No, it's Mr. Letterman Show! ;-)
Same outfit.
Dave is one of America's living treasures. His latest show is not (as far I know) on Australian TV. :(
Love and miss Dave.
“Neither is his mother” 😂.
For someone that doesn't like to be interviewed or be on TV any longer, he sure is doing the opposite.
Dave is the MAN!!
These two are a great team. Wish they'd go on the road together.
Time to go watch reruns of Letterman’s show🙂
The softer side of Dave. I love it.
With his look they should put him on a US denomination money bill.
He is a comic GENIUS!
2 of my most favorite guys on the planet, Willie & Dave. What a treat!😃🌈🌈🌈
Does willie actually have a toupee ?
Miss you Dave!
Love you Dave!
As a poor person i love that i can fly fish and money has nothing to do with the fact that I can out fish David.
you made it . Paul and all of the show was amazing, How did Shelly Sholt from Utah do?
This man is a legend. This generation will never know how BIG this man was back in the day.
I know, but the thing is, he isn't really that funny. So people lose interest in a talk show host or a comedian whose humor we just don't get/ see
My fav Dave interviews were always with Johnny Depp. I believe they loved each other.
Great interview..... where is part 2?
So Don Rickles was right, Letterman just out in the midwest doing things. haha
Where the heck is Part 2???!!!???!!!
found a piece of it, at least ruclips.net/video/Mub1CxOb8hM/видео.html
Top 10 reasons why Willie should grow a beard...
Place to store your soup
Man I miss his show so much I could cry.
That guy is amazing.
In some ways I cannot stand Dave but in other ways he is the best, basically a real human being
looks like he subbing in for Santa Clause too
Letterman is a national treasure.
Very cool 😎 he's pulling ur leg w the fish 🐟 jumping behind u. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now I finally get the beard. He wants to be Jeremiah Johnson.
Just love Dave.
