Dave flipped it on him. He asked Neal more questions than Neal asked him. Dave is brilliant.
Why he’s the GOAT
I believe he is just a natural interviewer after all his years
Conan does the same thing. Instincts
@@TrevorJohnson. Dave does this all the time. He just hits a point where he goes “now I have a question” and it will always be great.
Once an interviewer, always an interviewer. Neal does this a lot too. Not so much on Rogan, but he does it a lot on other people's podcasts.
I will be watching every single one of these episodes. Neal tried his best to get Dave to be vulnerable, and possibly succeeded more than anyone has on video/audio. For many of us who count Dave as a hero growing up, it felt like Neal was eloquently digging deeper and affirming Dave on our behalf. It was admirable and entertaining. Dave seems to think “no one wants to hear this immensely successful person go on about his problems”, but for all of us we’re thinking “this comedy legend struggles with the same types of things I do!” And that helps makes people feel less alone. Can’t wait for the next episode!
100%
Where does one find that interview?
@@thelettermanpodcast hjj
Bravo
What a beautifully written comment.
Dave is really good at steering the conversation away from himself.
@RealSweetKid trying to read your comment was such a waste of my time that i had to waste more time letting you know how bad it was, double waste.
lol probably habit from being a host for so many years
@RealSweetKid it’s amazing to see some random RUclips dumbass say that Dave Letterman isn’t interesting
@RealSweetKid odds are he’s more interesting than you
@@jasonolinger7585 I'm glad you commented so to me it's not a waste. Good to get similar feedback to my own opinion. Keep in mind - all time is 'wasted'. It is spent no matter what you do. Perhaps you wasted time more than normal. youtube comments are disturbing - full of dumb turds and fruit loops.
It's amazing that Dave can't see himself the way we see him: An absolute legend.
That's the trip and irony with life. There's always another side to what it means to create that kind of success and notoriety; the sacrifices that were made to get there. And I think objectively it can be argued that there's no such thing as a wrong choice. It's just a choice and we determine its value and stamp it. So in this case, Dave seems life he's dwelling on the past, regretting his choices, even though, in actuality, he did the best with what he was given.
I feel like anyone who gets angry because they feel like they deserve to have The Tonight show, probably, has a self-regard that's in the vicinity of the _absolute legend_ stratum.
Thank goodness quite frankly
Neil says it in this interview; there is something old school about him
Dave has a certain moral and personal level of respect for things. You hear it when he speaks of Bert and his lack of a shirt (lol)
Thank goodness Dave lacks the ego and what not. Almost to a fault to be fair considering how hard he tries to detract from talking about himself
A legend with a weak ego is someone truly humble. Quite the double edged sword
the kicker is realizing that that is a central reason WHY Dave is the way that we adore so much. I mean I relate to him in so many ways it scares me. In fact I'm not sure there's a single person in entertainment or general pop culture today that I have any respect or admiration for that DOESN'T have massive imposter syndrome. I almost kinda don't trust someone that can't relate to that at all. I certainly haven't even come within several light years of the success of David Letterman, but I have tremendous difficulty accepting a compliment. Self loathing is my oldest, dearest friend lol
I think a lot of people don’t see themselves as legends. Like Jerry I think doesn’t think he’s a legend or one of the best if not the best to ever do stand up.
For my generation, Letterman is a comedy god. There's really no way to fully express just how influential he was, both on fans and on a generation of comics, actors, writers, and directors
Dave's happiness and excitement at learning about Bart's insecurities is savage and hilarious. 😆🙏😌
When they called him I laughed out loud. Then when he said "& that, on the road last year, you made 25 million" I laughed out loud hysterically!!+😊
David Letterman added more humor and intelligence to my average day than any one else I can think of during my late teenage years. Thank you Dave!
Well said. Total agreement.
@@thelettermanpodcast and count me among those who are glad when my heros of humor maintain wit and sarcasm.
Just listening to his voice of reason, his voice of humor, his voice of modesty and his voice of honesty reminds me whats been missing in my life ....
Dave you were one of a kind and are greatly missed today ....
He's still alive and kicking
My high school crush (Dave) & my current crush (Neal) podcasting together - what a treat! So glad you're podding again, Neal!
Just finished the Tigerbelly (legendary) episode in time to start this one... yay!
Been waiting for Neal to get back into a podcast and here it is!!!
He’s been on like 10 the past couple weeks lolll
me too, I was like damnit how did I miss it, but if this is new I guess I'm ok
Flake basted
NEAL!!! I’m SOOOOO Happy You’re Baaaaack!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
😃😃😃 I really miss Bianca…I hope she’s doing something she loves!! When David Letterman said “this is crap” near the beginning of the episode, and you said “No, this is good b/c people wanna hear this, and no one talks about it!” I was slapping the countertop, like yes!! Dave must understand that his being vulnerable like that was deeply moving as were your last two specials and Podcast. That authenticity and being genuine, that’s the good stuff. Thanks Neal. Welcome back to my ears for an hour or so per week. They’re soooo happy to have you. 😘😆
I miss Bianca too. Was there ever an explanation why How Neal Feel ended? It seemed very sudden.
Just when you thought you couldn't love Letterman anymore than you already do. Dave, so good to hear you open up. Amazing.
The part on Bret Kreischer was the BEST!!! Made my whole freaking week!! Can't wait to hear Bert talk about it!!
100%
A-Hundred-Percent…..
Burnt Chrysler?
"Do you remember Spuds MacKenzie?" 🤣 The perfect way to explain Bert to an O.G. like David Letterman. 👌
Bart just died
This is unbelievable. I've loved Dave since I discovered him as a 14-year-old in 1988 - he's the reason I got into comedy. NEVER have I seen an interview this good. Dave usually deflects so much that he rarely reveals much, but this was just shocking in how open he is. Kudos!!
Dave was the weatherman on the local ABC affiliate in Indianapolis when I was a kid. He was fired after being told to stop making jokes during the broadcast. The night after the warning, he began the weather by saying, "In Carmel today, they had hail the size of canned hams."
Calling bert is the best homage to bert. He calls everyone all the time forever lol
Weird how Dave doesn’t realize how he changed the world in a dramatic, lasting, and profound way. Every comic working today is indebted to him. But it’s the self doubt that makes him so appealing. Been watching him since the very first episode of Late Night when I was in high school. My generation worships him, metaphorically speaking.
Oh for fks sake steve, he did not "change the world in a dramatic, lasting, and profound way", he was not so influential that comics are indebted to him in any way and the majority of your generation probably are, and were, indifferent to him.
@@sg-yq8pm 👍Thanks. People get carried away.
@@sg-yq8pmyou obviously weren't alive back then
I'm so glad he called Bert. I can imagine him giggling when he got the message.
Retirement seems to be treating Dave very kindly. He looks great, so laid back & care free. What a legend.
Loved the last line, "and I wished I could have had a tv show for 30 years." to give Dave perspective.
I've been with Dave since my teens in the 80's. I love him and both shows! Loved this interview! Thank you!
Dave being vulnerable and sincere. What an interview.
Dave Letterman show was the absolute best thing on TV back in the day. I still miss spending time with him every night.
Neil, this was so powerful and generous. Thank you, and Dave.
Dave is a Legend. Neal is absolutely brilliant. What a great episode!
Could not agree more!
Both of these guys are way too "inside their own heads." This is not the way to live. They feel like people who are so successful that they feel guilty about it, and have to concoct some intangible way to punish themselves for it.
Love the show,...anytime I can see David on screen its awesome. Thanks guys!
Oh, I can't wait to watch every one of these. Excellent interview, Neal.
So good to see Dave and Neal together
Thanks for sharing Dave! Youre the best.
Damn I miss Dave so much. He created so many epic moments by just being himself.
Glad this came up in my feed. This was a great podcast. Dave is, and will always be a legend. Love his take on things. I applaud you Neal, even though you didn’t get very many blocks.
You've got me hooked Neal. There's a thread of thoughtfulness and empathy that runs through your conversation that cuts through the pain. Well done its really valuable to the listener like myself!
The freshness of this encounter was buoyed by the gorgeous set. Two golden personalities just hanging out in the big time. Love you guys 🦁🧡🦁
This is so great. I hope these two get together for another conversation. Great chemistry between these two.
This is by far one of the best interviews I’ve ever listened to. Well done!
Neal!!!! So good to see you. Great show. You've been missed.
I don’t know where to show my appreciation for your special but you’ve raised the bar for sure
Amazing - you know how to interview really well, Neal. Especially someone whose job it was to interview people for so long. Those were the questions that needed to be asked and you showed good chemistry on camera. Please keep doing more
Wow! I love that Dave is such a good judge of people and has such good taste in comedy. He's such a great guy and this is so good. Congrats Neal!
That was absolutely great! Neal is a wonderful host!
Hell, even the set is automatically top notch.
Can't wait for the next episodes!
This is easily the most approachable I’ve ever seen Dave. Great stuff, love to see it
Here from day#1. Can’t wait for more of these!
This was an excellent podcast and its only the first episode!! I definitely needed to hear some of this and I can't wait to the next one 🥰
Congrats on the special, Neil. Glad you're doing this pod, gonna be a fun and informative one 👍
Didn't think I would love this podcast as much as I do. Guests with depth. Something new ❤
Neal is such a great conversationalist. He needs his own interview show. Simply wonderful
This is his own interview show
Yes!
Absolute legend. Great show Neal. Keep doing it.
Grew up watching Letterman's NBC late night show, he was my favorite tv host at the time...really appreciate this interview, thank you :)
Best way to spend my day off! Been looking forward to this podcast!
That was great, Neal! And it is SO nice to see & hear Sir Dave L.!
Great interview! More insight to Letterman and Neal than I've ever seen outside of Neal's most recent show. Loved every minute of it! Thanks for all the hard work and talent in bringing this together. Looking forward to many more.
Agreed!
This is *AMAZING*
So much fun to see you both together!
This is a top tier podcast for sure! We need more of this!
You are one of my favorite conversationalists,Neil. This is an excellent inaugural episode.
Yes!! More please🙏🏻;
Everyone has ‘blocks’, some are more self aware and some are too aware. Such a relatable and lovely convo.
Thank you.
Convo? See what I did there.......
FAINLLY! More Neal Brennan content / talks! I clicked so hard on this and am glad! Welcome back to podcasting Neal!!!!!!!!
Every time I see Neal I fall more and more in love with him ❤️
you must be a bot.
@@jasonolinger7585Lol, definitely.
Found it!!! So excited for this.
Yay so happy to hear from Neal in podcast form again ☺️
Neal… loved the champs, same with how Neal Feel, and I’m so happy you’ve returned to this form of media. You came out swinging with a fuckin HEAVY hitter of a guest for episode 1, so thanks for this free content dude, and glad to see you again.
Hell yeah. The Champs was/is one of my favorite podcasts ever.
I have never heard of you until stumbling across these, but your interviews with Dave and Jay have me hooked!!
Love seeing Dave open up. Hilarious seeing him talk about Bert!
Thanks for this. Super interesting to hear all of the blocks. Please keep this going.
Excellent interview, Neil you are awesome. You are my latest favorite comedian. Love your latest Netflix specials
I’m so glad you’re putting out video with these episodes too!!
This made me so happy!!! I missed his old podcast very much.
We could not have done a better job interviewing Dave than Neal did. Very, very well done.
You are the Brene Brown of comedy. I can’t wait to see your TED talk.
I watched just about every show that Letterman did. Some were better than others but it was ALWAYS worth watching. No matter what his insecurities say.
If Neal has a podcast, I’mma be there to watch! So happy to see this new one 👏🏽👏🏽
Wonderful. Thank you both
I loved this. Neil is such a great host.
Neil Brennan, thank you; I've watched 2 of your podcasts within approx 48-hrs and these discussions reflect my own introspections which provide a sense of hope. I heard about Sebastian Maniscalco thru Bobby Lee citing him multiple times and The Tonight Show with David Letterman was broadcast in Australia in the early 2000's so I watched him regularly.
Thank you, Neal. For those of us who love Dave, this was a real treat. Great questions. And I think we all know to what degree you made Bert's day/week/month. A voice message from David Letterman?? That's fuel for that particular fat man's fire. Tremendous. We'll be right back.
I did not expect this interview to be as good as it turned out to be! Thank you!
Yaaay - So happy this popped up - Been waiting for this after you announcing you were doing it!
Shit this is probably the best Dave interview I have ever seen, and the podcast is great too! Love the editing , the inserted shots, really cool.
Total agreement.
GenX loves you SO MUCH, Dave. Your show in the 80’s was everything.
Beautiful. Thanks, guys. ❤
Thanks Neal. You're a great interviewer and your introspection and analysis is fascinating.
Towards the end of the interview I became obsessed with how close their shoes were to each other
Selfishly I thank you!!!
Your new Pod… It’s such a great vehicle for your gifts in comedy/insight/observation/POV… massive 👍
Neal, your Netflix special was masterfully done. So perfectly crafted and unique.
Great pod! Blocks is the new jam in the castverse. Your interview approach is from an angle that nobody can do except specifically you. I’m looking forward to seeing more comedians telling their Block stories. Cheers Neal!
Love you entirely Neal. Great conversation with one of the greats of our time. Regardless of any self-doubts that Dave may have, he is truly a national treasure and has helped so many people with his silly TV show. You guys both recognizing each other's commitment to the craft is great. Sub-scribed!
Great podcast, Neal! Looking forward to more!
I love this show idea and I really like you staying on the topic and keep bringing it back to the point of the podcast. Looking forward to seeing who else you bring on. This is a great show idea.
This made me love Dave even more. Great first pod Neil.
great first guest, neal!
i love the long form interviews and this one did not disappoint!
I loved your stand up special! I watched it twice🙌🏾 So creative👌🏾
Congrats, Neal! Looking forward to more great content. Keep up the great work!
I'm so so so stoked you did this. Thank you!
This so excellent. Dave is the best and Neal is up there as well. I'll be seeing all of these. Great experience.
Yes
What an absolute jewel! Congrats, keep'em coming, but take your time. :) Peace and love, sir!
I so appreciated this conversation. Have always liked David Letterman and also understand those feelings he has shared. I am in that retirement age thing, still have to work...at least for now, granted...I wasn't a television personality but the concern's Dave shared is something we all go through. The "I can't wait to retire" thing is B.S. No matter your line of work, you still want to create and to make something of value. Thanks for sharing this. Really liked this a lot and was actually helpful to hear.😇👍
Very nice interview, I loved hearing Dave open up 😊 thank you ❤
Never heard of Neal before the Netflix special...really stunned, so good...lets see some more of this fellow, I'm subscribed.
This is so great, so damn touching to see Letterman acting like a regular person, his reaction up how much Bert makes almost brought me to tears! 😂
New subscriber here @Neal Brennan
Long time fan though, had all the Chappelle show seasons on DVD back in the days when we used DVDs and LOVED the new special, as well as your appearances on all of my favorite podcasts recently!
I discovered Late Night with David Letterman in it's second season. I was 13 and dealing with all that comes with that. Letterman's humor and perspective made sense to me when nothing else seemed to. I have been a fan since that moment. Now that I'm in my early 50's, Letterman is still providing me with a point view that is relevant and much needed. Dave has embraced new mediums, is a fan and supporter of younger comedians. He is curious and open to learning new things and integrates that into his life. He is aging but not growing old because he is still trying to figure it out. It is a distinction with a difference and Letterman, then and more importantly now, is example to look to when I try to figure out how I want to try to be. Oh, and he's as funny as ever.
Well that's about the best possible guest you could have in the first episode lol
Excellent first guest! Can't wait to see what next episode is next. Kinda want to see people actually make the blocks
