In middle school, my daughter was assigned to write a letter to a famous person and try to get something written back to her. She wrote Amy and Amy sent back a really gross bit of verbiage on a headshot of hers and the school called us and said that we had to come and pick it up and sign something understanding what we were picking up. I wish I could remember what it said but it was pretty disgusting and we loved it.
That's too funny!! I think my daughter would very likely pick David Sedaris. She's been reading him since 4th grade, and I believe it was 5th when her school called to ask if I was aware she was reading a book called 'Naked' and this principal had skimmed a bit, didn't think it was appropriate to bring to school. This was Alabama, where the average ADULT can't read beyond 6th grade level, but hey at least they don't read filth, right? 😆😂🤣
Her brother David said: "Amy lives in the moment and I don't live there.'' And I thought that was as accurate a description of a writer as ever there was.
This is what "killing" looks like in late night comedy. Wow! She was landing punchlines every five seconds. Like a master class in being a late night guest.
@@thelettermanpodcast LOL! Johnny Carson hasn't talked about Letterman being off the air yet, until he does I feel like this is just an unconfirmed rumor
There is nothing more enjoyable than watching Dave with someone who genuinely makes him laugh. I know there are many, but Chris E, Norm and Amy always delivered.
Fwiw, I met her at an event, and she was a bit standoffish, kinda guarded. So, it seems like she has to ramp up to the persona you see here, or needs a spotlight to focus her energy. You've probably met someone just like her, just need to catch her at the right time.
@@tvtitlechampion3238 I passed by her on the street in NYC once, and, as she passed, certainly not noticing me, I spun and went "Amy Sedaris!" She turned, and I put out my hand to shake hers and told her I really love her work. She only sort of looked at me, and I wasn't sure if it was b/c she was shy or was afraid I'd start rambling in her general direction (sometimes stars avoid eye contact b/c making eye contact invites conversation, and if they're not at an event, they usually don't want that), she gave me a very sweet thank you, and she walked off...and I 100% regret not asking her out to go to dinner or something. A friend of mine, who knows I've a crush on her, was also angry at me. I mean, I DID get to go out w/The Late Show's Hula Hoop Girl, so why not Amy?!
In a just world, Sedaris would be bigger than Sandler. You don't see too many people make Dave genuinely laugh like that. He was actually rolling the conversation back to punchlines she'd already moved on from.
Using "Five drink minimum" as the measure of how overweight the Lesbians are at the new hated bar that's taking over her favorite chocolate store. Perfect Amy.
Amy is a diabolically funny storyteller. You see her pop up in lots of movies and I’m always waiting to see her slip in one of her little quirks, like the off sync eyeblinking in Chef
I never realized what an absolute comedic genius she is! I was very fond of strangers with Candy, I thought it was delightfully strange and awkward, and I love to be in that place when watching awkward comedy. But her quick wit, and her animated presents is just a fantastic package! I would love to be her imaginary boyfriend!❤️
She's difficult to get in touch with. You'd have to go through her manager, or find someone who's worked with her on the socials, b/c she's got no internet presence herself. Good luck!!
Dave had a lot of memorable repeat guests over the years, Teri Garr, Brother Theodore, Leno, Norm, etc... But the comedic chemistry between him and Amy was as good as it gets. I think if someone had told Dave he could only have Amy as a guest every night, he might still be doing the show.
I love her and wonder about her "real" personality because whenever she's on TV she is definitely ON. It's all hyper, nervous energy which is fun but also a bit uncomfortable at times.
Yes, but I think it's genuine. If you ever read her brother's books about his family, they are all characters. A lot of trauma in their family but at least two of them turned out to be really funny.

Comedians rarely truly laugh at other comedians. But was really laughing. I want to google “where is Amy Sedaris now”? But because I haven’t heard about her for years I’d be sad to find out she’s dead. So I won’t google. Yes, I will.

I love this story! You should find a way to tell Amy about the repercussions if you haven’t already. It’s such a great punchline.
She should have her head removed
*"I'M GONNA SIT AT THE WELCOME TABLE - HALLELUJAH"*
Amy was one of the best guests of all times.
How about Amy narrating a GTOger video!
Agreed. Always funny, bit bizarre, good report with Dave.
You haven't really watched his show much have you.
Could not agree more.
Is this Amy writing this? It's something she'd say and do. Lmao
I never saw Dave laugh as hard as he does with Amy. He's absolutely delighted as are we.
Probably why he gave her money to make her movie.
I think Norm Macdonald might be the only other person to make Dave laugh like that.
“bigger than a tumor” almost made him fall out of his chair.
Bonnie Hunt made him laugh a lot too.
He laughed with abandon at Chris Farley too.
Her brother David said: "Amy lives in the moment and I don't live there.'' And I thought that was as accurate a description of a writer as ever there was.
I love David as well as Amy! ❤️ Both are hilarious 😂
Not a lot of people live there like she does.
This is what "killing" looks like in late night comedy. Wow! She was landing punchlines every five seconds. Like a master class in being a late night guest.
Amy is one of those people that just oozes talent and personality...PLUS, what a sweet person.
Yes! And her chemistry with Dave was delightful. They were like a comedy team odd couple.
I don’t think I’ve never seen Dave so genuinely taken with a guest. Amy was so dang funny and charming on this appearance.
Every single time.
More Amy Sedaris please. Love her and the chemistry she has with Dave.
Seconded.
You do know letterman is off the air. And this is a very old clip.
@@lordeverybody872 holy cow, you’re right on both counts! We need to re think some things.
@@thelettermanpodcast LOL!
Johnny Carson hasn't talked about Letterman being off the air yet, until he does I feel like this is just an unconfirmed rumor
@@ExtraordinaryMachine333 VERY good point. Time to get our investigation team on the case. To the mediums!
Lickety Splits a genius name. My cheeks hurt from laughing and smiling so much.
Amy Sedaris is one of the greatest improve actors of her generation.
My condolences to Amy on the death of her imaginary boyfriend. I’ve lost many close imaginary friends myself, so I sympathize.
All my friends laughed at me when I told them about my new girlfriend and they said she was imaginary. Hah jokes on them, they’re imaginary too!
Her dermatologist, Dr. Colbert. - Stephen Colbert reference. Formerly of Strangers with Candy!
No, Stephen Colbert's brother is a dermatologist
Her wit on the fly is amazing.
Love it when Dave can barely contain himself. “They’re great in the summer on the beach.” Pure gold.
big fat lesbian bar fat fat !!!
I concur with your sentiment 100%♡
Australia.
There is nothing more enjoyable than watching Dave with someone who genuinely makes him laugh. I know there are many, but Chris E, Norm and Amy always delivered.
Agreed!
Just the absolute best.
A+ guest.
Every single time.
Why can't I meet a woman like her? She's so wonderful!!

Visit an insane asylum
@@keithpl5438 maybe she's just a lunatic AND you are attracted to lunatics
@@stevehardeman7209 Lunatics make great lovers.
Amy should be way bigger than she is. Brilliant.
Dave rarely laughed that hard with a guest. Amy Sedaris is a pure riot!
Hey Worldwide Pants! Please let Don GIller put the Amy Sedaris compilation back up! It was such a precious collection!
Is that why I can't find certain things anymore? I'm surprised anyone can tell someone else what they can't put up on their channel.
He can’t talk about it. If he told you, he’d have to maul you.
@@michaelmcdonald8452It’s kinda like stocking your store with items you’ve shoplifted….. ;-)

In a just world, Sedaris would be bigger than Sandler. You don't see too many people make Dave genuinely laugh like that. He was actually rolling the conversation back to punchlines she'd already moved on from.
In a just world... I would be bigger than Adam Sandler.
Looks better on the floor, Dave 😂
An American treasure. One of the quickest and funniest people out there.
I have such a crush on her.
I think Dave does, too.
Using "Five drink minimum" as the measure of how overweight the Lesbians are at the new hated bar that's taking over her favorite chocolate store. Perfect Amy.
Bill you comment was beyond fabulous. So you have my gratitude
Beyond hysterical!
This may be my favorite Amy Sedaris appearance. Given the number of times she's been on that's saying a lot.
Yeah, it’s a gooder, but they all were.
I love her. She has great stories & moves from details to the story so fast
Dave barely has time to laugh, & laugh.
Totally agree! Their energy was electric and slightly chaotic.
That was incredible! Strangers with Candy is one of my all-time favorite TV shows. Hilariously bizarre! Amy was so funny in this interview. Loved it!
Amy is a diabolically funny storyteller. You see her pop up in lots of movies and I’m always waiting to see her slip in one of her little quirks, like the off sync eyeblinking in Chef
I totally copied that from her, lol. I usually pair it with a "what what whaaat?"
She’s just amazing. ❤
Dave loves her. It’s adorable.

Thank you! I was trying to place where I knew her from.
These 2 were great together. ☆☆☆☆☆😄😄😄😄😄😄
I love Amy and Dave!!
She's such a hoot this little woman😄
Like a bundle of energetic adorable.
One of our favorite Letterman guests of all time, and she is on our top ten list of guests e would like to have on our show.
She's difficult to get in touch with. You'd have to go through her manager, or find someone who's worked with her on the socials, b/c she's got no internet presence herself. Good luck!!
@@keithpl5438 She posts on Instagram every day.
She is one for the funniest people ever...love her so much😆😅😂🤣
Amy is a riot !!! 😂😂😂
I remember her in Strangers with Candy. I didn't know she was good looking.
Amy and her brother are absolutely hilarious.
Only Dave could bring out the best of Amy.
Conversational performance artist in their element. Genius.
Just love her!!!❤️
Cute hairstyle too.
Her Dermatologist "Dr. Colbert"....A glimpse of what was to come 10 years later...so good.
OMG I LOVE THIS WOMAN ❤

Don Giller's page has EVERYTHING.
Bonnie Hunt too on the list of blondes
She's out of her mind and I love it
Off the rails- At her most manic. love it.
She is too cute! I love her laugh😊
She’s amazing
omg. Amy is SOOOOOO Great.
I have never laughed so hard in my life! Great clip! Love her!
Love that girl. A truly distinctive talent.
I love her and wonder about her "real" personality because whenever she's on TV she is definitely ON. It's all hyper, nervous energy which is fun but also a bit uncomfortable at times.

Funniest comic ever. Her wit and timing... Hot damn
If you don’t love Amy, you ain’t right.
She may need around 200 ml of Thorazine and or Haldol twice daily or as needed.
holy shit she is CHAOS and a rainbow of a performer
She is a comedic genius... so hilarious on Letterman
She's so funny! Love her on The Mandolorian.
Always a hilarious treat!
It's always been clear to me that Letterman had a crush on Amy Sedaris. And who wouldn't?
Dave always drew out the most delightful weirdos.

SHE'S BRILLIANT.
She’s gorgeous and funny, plus loved her in Strangers with Candy…
Yes, and Stephen Colbert as Mr. Noblet. That show was ahead of it's time
excellant choice David
I used to love strangers with candy think it's time to rewatch it
Shes a genius...completely mental but a genius.
She's the bees knees.
Good Lord
what a woman
Improv-ing her way through like 95% of the things she said, but never sounding like it.
Wow she made Dave laugh so much!
I absolutely love ❤️ Amy, a stick of DYNAMITE! Funny
Is the Lickety Split Lesbian Bar still in business?
They went under
@@galedribble9535 damn
What is the gag behind "A little milk, from Pathway"? 7:35
I think the audience was just laughing because of how specific the instruction was lol
What a delight
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂 holy hell she's hysterically funny 😁 😂 😀
Amy Sedaris is Crazy and Iconic.
Her cheeseballs are very much underrated! Such smokey deliciousness!
I remember one
I remember when Gormet garage started in a garage in SoHo. the first time I tased blood orange juice
Love love love her
Dolly is looking great 🌈🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
And now she's a mechanic on Tatooine.
Had a massive crush on her. Might still do.
Pick up the pace, Schaeffer! 😂
I could watch her until my eyes go blind.
It doesn't float! 🤣
hope your dad got to meet him b4 the tragic occurance. I know he wanted to be introduced, as I recall
Comedians rarely truly laugh at other comedians. But was really laughing. I want to google “where is Amy Sedaris now”? But because I haven’t heard about her for years I’d be sad to find out she’s dead. So I won’t google. Yes, I will.
We'll be right back with Andy Kindler.
Amy reminds me a lot of a girlfriend of mine from the 1980s. They were both insane, and….actually thats the only thing they had in common.
Those Sedarisi!
I bet it does, sweetie!❤
She's has a quick wit about her
A lesbian bar called “Lickety Split.”😂 This woman is insane!
