I’m SO glad they re-released this. I had a battered and warped old copy on VCR tape. My late best friend and I would quote endlessly from this and no one around us understood what we were talking about. This is a classic!!
I remember this segment from years ago. This is honestly one of the funniest ones Keaton has ever done. Selling Tony Curtis' comb on the side of the road. Brilliant 😂
Michael Keaton really is a down-to-earth guy who doesn’t mind poking fun at himself, even today. He has become such an accomplished dramatic actor that you forget how funny he can be!
This was life changing when we saw it together in college. We still quote from it. “Bewildered N All” Perfection. Especially now, having witnessed Michael Kenton’s amazing career.
In the 1980s, I think that there was a law in the state of California which stated that every movie soundtrack must include at least the opening chords of “Bad to the Bone”.
Sometime in the early 90's that changed to "I Feel Good". I think the studio got a tax credit if it started a trailer with "Green Onions", a voiceover, the record-scratch sound effect and smash-cut to "I Feel Good".
@@poindextertunes well it must not be true then right? "Bad to the Bone" has been used in many films, such as: Slayground (1983) Christine (1983) The Color Of Money (1986) Lethal Weapon (1987) Bull Durham (1988) Talk Radio (1988) Problem Child (1990) Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) Problem Child 2 (1991)
I am so stoked that this kind of content can be shared online with the song data being recognized... there WAS a time where this kind of music could take down a video... wicked that it is in its original format thx
@GeomancerHT years ago, a video posted with such music could possibly A) get taken down B) get blocked by country. (I am Canadian, IE Conan Obrien RUclips e content blocked to this day) C) I could go on... but am I really obliged to explain my sound logic to a pleb?
Oh, man! That was epic. The entrance in the movie to "Bad to the Bone"! The whole movie was hilarious!!!! Oh, yah, and the Howard brothers are in it. Wow!
I hope all of these will get posted. I had the first year on VHS that I wore out. Michael J. Fox's hockey/orchestra and Dave marrying Hal Gurnee's wife were the standouts for me. Have to see the rest. Fingers crossed.
Keaton's essentially doing his Beetlejuice shtick without the makeup in the office scene at 3:56, this would've been three years before he played the role too!
If you haven’t seen night shift you must watch. Keaton is great. The guy has such a range. Btw this is before beetlejuice and you can see his character.
I grew up in the 80s, grew up in Southern California, watched Beetlejuice, am familiar with the Howard bros, and play GTA V. All of this is familiar. LOL!
Wow, that was such a long skit. Unusually, it's one or two jokes and it's a cut. This was joke after joke for 7 minutes with big name cameos! I've never seen such a thing for a talk show.
There were a series of these as part of the Late Night film festival--Harry Shearer (who did an amazing piece called The Making of an Industrial Musical"), Jane Pauley, Michael J. Fox, Bette Midler...other folks as well. They got a little budget to make short films. It was really great.

Keaton and Dave's friendship evolution throughout the years was one of my favorite things about the show

I agree. It’s a classic. I wish more people would see it.
Keaton and Letterman remind me so much of each other , funny, smart and their relationship over the years has been priceless. Love those guys.
I completely forgot how much I loved Michael keaton until just now watching this.
One of the best skits of all-time on Late Night!
ron howards brother is the best. he shows up just when he's needed most.

This is one of my favorite moments from the NBC era. Loved the '85 and '86 Holiday Film Festivals!

Perfection.
Especially now, having witnessed Michael Kenton’s amazing career.
I hadn’t seen this before. This is one of the best things I’ve seen Keaton do.
Oh my. So hysterical. I totally forgot about this!!! Thank you!!!😆💞💞💞

All movies needed "Bad to the Bone" and Ron Howard's brother Clint in a small cameo.
I cant think of one 80s movie that did?
@@poindextertunes well it must not be true then right?
"Bad to the Bone" has been used in many films, such as:

Michael Keaton ❤
my Batman from the 80s.
but Night Shift was funny and awesome. Shelly Long and Henry Winkler.
but "Clean and Sober" a touchy film but love it.
Clint Howard would've been great as a Rogues Gallery villain for Keaton's Batman.
Naturally,he’s a born villain
Little Opie Cunningham's brother
The Ratcatcher
Nope, that’s Balok.
Michael Douglas is genuinely hilarious
ultra-underrated comment
My god, this short has lived rent free in my head for 38 years!

SSSSSHHHHHH!!!!!
Keaton credits the music composer at the end of the video so they literally own the rights for the music, what do you expected?

My Christmas wish is that the entire Holiday Film Festival were online, or available on Blu-Ray.
This is Beetlejuice before Beetlejuice.
It totally is
Michael Keaton can do pretty much anything: comedy, drama, fish head dumping, carpet sale promotion …
DIY electrical work.
It's because he's been cloned 😂
I think he could have played the brother of Richard E. Grant too.
Few Americans will get that although he’s brilliant.
I remember the segment. What I didn’t realize it but they shot this on 35mm film! Looks like a real movie. Those were the days.
Yeah, 35, 36 whatever it takes.
@@freeadrian1144 - well done
Oh, man! That was epic. The entrance in the movie to "Bad to the Bone"! The whole movie was hilarious!!!! Oh, yah, and the Howard brothers are in it. Wow!
Cool....hope to see some more of the film festival!
Nightshift is a classic!!!
I remember watching this that night. Funny then, funnier now. Miss that NBC Letterman.
Both Howard brothers! In one sketch! Fantastic!
I adore Michael Keaton and have since the early 80s. He's only gotten better throughout the years. Dopesick was amazing.
he’s batman, he’s birdman, he’s beetlejuice - he’s the best
Agreed, he was great in Dopesick.
i like that you can see him doing a little of pre-Beetlejuice here
YUP!
Night Shift was one of the funnier movies of my youth. Keaton has developed into quite the actor and it’s been cool watching him grow.
That film had a great soundtrack!
Please make the whole festival available. Each short was extremely funny.
Ron Howard's career really took off after this
Technically correct.
Such a great time to watch Letterman.
"Get the hell off the holy compound!!!"
Ppl forget that Keaton was a stand up comic before he was a big time actor. His Bazooka Joe joke was fkn legendary 😂
1:19 WHEN HE TRIED THROWING HIS GUM IM WHEEZING 😭😭😭😭
Wow they got Clint Howard & his brother in this skit!
9:24 That's the guy from Happy Days! Little Richie Cuntingham!!
Yeah the resemblance is striking
So glad he called him out on the gum.
4:02 This Plastic Man movie is looking promising.
I never knew you could be successful selling combs on the side of the road. (Re thinking retirement plans)
He would of made a pitch perfect Plastic-man he even had the shades ready to go.
3:50 AHA ! So THIS is where Jullian Himself got his style - it all make sense now.
I remember his standup…he was good..I couldn’t believe he transitioned to comedies..then dramatic roles..he’s great..
The movie where he plays the nightmare tenant ..he’s brilliant…
I hope all of these will get posted. I had the first year on VHS that I wore out. Michael J. Fox's hockey/orchestra and Dave marrying Hal Gurnee's wife were the standouts for me. Have to see the rest. Fingers crossed.
Yes! Clint Howard!
Combing was very big back in the 80s … especially back combing.
Imagine producing a bit this long & involved in 2024?? Stunning artifact of a different time
Man am I old this seems like yesterday.
This guy Keaton coulda played somethin' int'restin', like maybe...Batman, or even Beetlejuice. 🤣
I got some hints of Beetlejuice at 4:06.
Keaton's essentially doing his Beetlejuice shtick without the makeup in the office scene at 3:56, this would've been three years before he played the role too!
Keaton also directed The Merry Gentleman after the director dropped out and did a great job.
Such an underated movie!
❤
That thumbnail makes me think he needs to play Plastic Man
IM BATMAN!!!
If you haven’t seen night shift you must watch. Keaton is great. The guy has such a range.
Btw this is before beetlejuice and you can see his character.
Freakin legend!! 🔥
Clint Howard. Hahaha
Always be my Batman.
I grew up in the 80s, grew up in Southern California, watched Beetlejuice, am familiar with the Howard bros, and play GTA V. All of this is familiar. LOL!
“We MUST be maniacs”
I think this is the first time he and Catherine O'Hara appeared on the same bill together, before Beetlejuice.
I see a lot of Jack Nicholson in his face that I never realized before. Right or am I crazy?
The one true Batman.
Poochie actually went on to have a sitcom of his own
Two little squirrels hanging by strings? They don't right stuff this good for TV anymore.
For a coked out maniac, he's mostly well-behaved.
And on that day, Beetlejuice was born.
I wasn’t expecting Clint Howard, lol.
hilarious
Michael Keaton: second best set of eyebrows in showbiz. Right behind Jack Nicholson.
"Keets"..
Keaton and Joe Namath were the REALEST Yinzer celebrities
Thy stayed true to Pittsburgh
He looks like John Candy on the thumbnail.
Daddy Dave slaps MK's wrist. That's power.
Still Bruce Wayne, for me. Love him.
LMAO!!! 8:08
Must have had a hair transplant after this, he had more hair in the late 80s.
oh definitely
4:06 Michael Keaton as Plastic Man
Im not crazy about the spread collar with that tie.
There were shades of what Beetlejuice was to become in both Mike's and Clint's performances here. Great stuff.
Can you please upload Carla Bruni!!!!!!!

Nice One 🤭
The early stages of Beetlejuice.
Is this where Rubber Man's character design came from?
Wish Michael didn't go "serious" after Batman. .Night Shift was my favorite of his. He had a great comic ability
Clint Howard alert!
I'm old enough to remember when his career seemed like it was going nowhere. Then Batman happened!
So this is what beetlejuice was like when he was alive
He looks practically like Plastic-Man here
9:24 Ron Howard
He's working that gum like a DAY job. Could it be the toot-ski? The granulated money? Peruvian marching powder perhaps?...BARKERS!
Beetlejuice❤
This role is kind of a proto-Beetlejuice
It’s this where they got the design for plastic man?
Clint Howard.....!!!!
ALBERT KING!!!
he's batman.
Not dead.
