Welcome to the Letterman RUclips Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show - as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. These highlights have been artisanly-produced, carefully-curated, and chosen completely at random by an old computer that used to pick numbers for the New York Lotto back in the 90’s.

This guy held me as a baby back in 92. He was doing a signing promoting his Bat Out of Hell 2.

[@harmonyvegan]

7:11 is when they talk about The Rocky Horror Picture Show

[@benstahl3576]

What a down to earth dude, a real treasure. He sees right through the BS of the interview immediately

[@michaelmcdermott209]

" You better be Meatloaf because we are gonna watch you!" Lmmfao 🤣🤪🤣

[@mathiastheflyest1]

Hot Patooti bless my soul, I really love that rock n’ roll!

[@PrankZabba]

His autobiography is amazing.

[@noglenogle]

Which one ?

[@PrankZabba]

@@noglenogle Back Out Of Hell. I'm assuming there must be paperback copies out there. I've only seen it as a hardcover. The book is kinda short with its sorta mini chapters and lots of photos. Basically how he grew up. Got famous. Things happened. Got famous. Things happened again. Got famous. And kept at it. I dont own a copy at the moment, but I would totally read this again.

[@noglenogle]

Thank you so much for the info. I'm ordering it now.
BTW I love your handle.

[@KimFsharpHarp]

I have to get it. Thanks for the tip!

[@2puffs770]

That audience was full of old, or dead people, because when Dave mentioned his next guest released "Bat Out of Hell" there was ZERO excitement in the form of applause. That was surreal, imo.

[@mkv2718]

Do you not know how those shows work? They have “applause” signs for a reason. Dave’s monologue wasn’t done yet, if they cheered, he would have had to re-record the introduction.

[@hallucinati]

Meatloaf passed the dave test. Dave was planning on ripping in as usual and making some fun. But Loaf was too damn cool 😎

[@pauld205]

Yeah, dave could be an ass sometimes. I always wondered if his drinking had anything to do with it. Anyway, dave was/is a big fan of rock music, so maybe that had something to do with the cordial tone of the interview

[@thefantasyreview8709]

Meatloaf was pretty famous at this stage, and possibly a bit unpredictable so I don't think Dave was going to make fun of him.

[@THE-A-TRAIN]

They better post the interview with the man who invented the Nautilus machines, I feel as though I've been cheated.

[@batgurrl]

Rest In Peace ❤️This seems like Dave when his show followed The Tonight Show with Jonny Carson. The Phil Rizzuto part was priceless. As a NYC Boomer I appreciated his Waverly comment.

[@ankhor9252]

Damn, what a loss. It sounds like ML was in touch with so much going on in his era. He knows how to relate and tell a story. He could have had a brilliant podcast. Did he have a podcast before he passed? Many people do now.

[@ceser33]

Letterman is the European Rudi Carell ^_^ Thanks to Meatfloaf he shared all his wonderful thoughts and ideas with us! R.I.P. and we will do anything for love my friend!

[@andrewnau433]

But, I... won't... dooo that

[@pauld.cullenjr.7934]

Great guest. There were 10 stories cut short there!

[@ingsve]

Seems like the best way to prove that you are Meat Loaf would be to just start singing.

[@guypainter]

I get the distinct impression the audience had NO CLUE who they were listening to.

[@petermgruhn]

In 1982, everybody knew who Meatloaf was.

[@AstroVanTribe]

If you haven't yet, see the movie Roadie - Incredible....!

[@torontorox]

rock star! ✌🧡

[@pepelepewx]

celebrity palsy omg

[@kiillabytez]

Meatloaf should host his own talk show.

[@healsyeah]

... i got some bad news for you

[@Struwwelpeter]

@@healsyeah lol

[@joebaumgart1146]

Well, he's dead so...

[@lumineria1]

I wonder if he had a cold, you can hear his wheezing breathing

[@YAMMAS]

at 0:20 what did the person say?

[@milesmacy8788]

That's Travis Redfish the greatest rodie who ever lived

[@heldig5617]

2:20 They clap at everything! What about 2022? Basically the audiences are clapping-trained seals.

[@kevinsteele246]

R.i.p. meatloaf

[@PacoOtis]

Boring interview, and we are Meatloaf/Rocky Horror fans!

[@petermgruhn]

word up

[@joyceleneave2147]

Manliest legs EVER

[@thefantasyreview8709]

Meatloaf seems a bit all over the place, like he has ADHD

[@Binstone]

i think it's just cocaine

[@erohw]

He was Sucha bad host… still don’t get his success…
