Their chemistry was fantastic. What a joy to watch these moments again.
Man you're not kidding. So many of these one-liners I saw when they aired, and they stuck with me to the point where I've used them without fail making people laugh for the last 40 years. I'm not a comic but I was doing Richard Lewis.
God bless him.
We were all young once
Great posts about Richard Lewis, what a treasure 😊
What are you talking about? All Lettterman did was fake laugh trying to make him sound funny. Literally nothing Richard Lewis said was funny. He was given the platform like so many in the entertainment industry because of their religion with no talent whatsoever. People are blind to who has owned Hollywood forever and bs propaganda they put out.
What a brilliant tribute, thanks. He really brought out some zingers from Dave too, didn't he. They seemed like great friends.
RiP Richard. I grew up watching him.
He made my family , friends and myself laugh countless times.
Prayers sent.
A wonderful walk down memory lane ❤ Thanks, Dave❤
This is a great tribute to a great guy, Dave.
Thanks for this. I really miss this guy.
Richard Lewis on Late Night was one of those guests you knew had a chance of making you laugh till you cried, especially when he was going "1,000 miles an hour".
I miss him already. I had the biggest crush on him growing up and I got lucky and called into a radio show he was on when he was touring in Miami. He was so nice and funny just talking to me and made me love him even more.
I had a crush on him too growing up. I tried to call into a radio station in Tampa trying to win tickets to see him. I did not win the tickets so I bought them. I roared with laughter. Never met him but I got one peak at him through a side door afterward. I was so happy I saw his standup live. So so sad he's gone just like that.
Me too!!
I'm in love with him too. ❤
I had the biggest crush on him too!
Richard Lewis had a damn good head of hair.
Love this. Hilarious. He was so great on Dave’s show. Thank you guys for putting this together.
End of an era
soon it will be like we were never here at all.
We were all young once.
Mick Jagger has always been right ......
🎶What a drag it is getting old🎶

and it was in the blink of an eye wasn't it?
@@last7509 Elisabeth Shue already knows what that's like.
Yep that red tie blazer and jeans
he really was "on" when he was on Letterman. thanks for these clips! his notes always slayed me.
Richard Lewis was always best on the Letterman Show. He and Dave had that special chemistry that Richard didn't have with any other talk show host.
This is a real treasure. Loved the two of them together. Dave laughing at his jokes just makes you laugh even more . May his memory forever be a blessing .
This is a wonderful collection of clips. He always had so much fun with David and it is a joy to see them again in the wake of Richard’s death.
I had the privilege to work with Richard on a Super Bowl commercial in 2011 for Snickers and spent the day with him having a wonderful time. We did a lot of ad-libbing about gazebos. He was so very funny. It was voted the number one Super Bowl commercial that year and it played all over the states- because he was just so funny.
May he rest in peace.
Losing Rodney Dangerfield
Losing Norm Macdonald
hurt terribly.
There is something next level hurt about losing Richard Lewis
He was so absolutely beloved
I loved when he was on with Dave.
quite frankly, he was wonderful
This was wonderful! Thank you so much for a great tribute to Richard Lewis. Forgot how funny he really was. Sadly, he left us at a time when his humor is needed more than ever before. RIP, Mr. Lewis.
Keith Olbermann just did a wonderful tribute to Lewis on his podcast, saying Lewis was truly the kindest person you could ever want to know.
Thanks for letting people know about this.
10:27 when you hear Dave cackle like that, you know you hit it out of the park! RIP to an all-time great!
"Who's Fred Travelena?!" deep cut. Loved it.
I love around the 15:00 min mark the hair dye on his hands. It's been talked about many times. Still cracks me up
I loved this guy! I watched him all the time he was hilarious... Thanks for the great memories.. gone but never forgotten.
I was so upset to hear that he passed. Rest in Peace, Richard. I already miss you!
Yeah he was great! He had the best one liners! Some of my favorite curb moments were his reactions to Larry.
"You want ME to relax!!!" 😂 Such great memories. Thank you all. ❤
Richard Lewis was amazing. His joke delivery was one of a kind. He was one of first self deprecating comics. Never scared to make fun of himself
He looks just like my friend of 54 years. RIP Richard Lewis.
All hail the Prince of Pain...RIP Richard Lewis
Wow...just heard Richard Lewis has passed and my first reaction was shock and hurt. Loved watching the guy...he was Paul Reiser before Paul Reiser. Always thought Jon Stewart captured his vibe. Just a sad loss. Thank you for the laughs Mr. Lewis...gone but never forgotten.
"Ow! You're on my hair" Soooo funny.
Great tribute - I always loved Richard with Dave and they had such fun chemistry - I"m sure Dave's devastated :( I remember watching them with my dad and he'd always say about Lewis 'He's a nervous wreck' between laughs. One of stand-up's best.
I loved everything about RL. From his standup over the years, talk show appearences and of course Curb. I cried today. I laughed watching this.
This was an absolute treat. Thanks for posting. Rest in Peace Richard 🙏
Babe in Yiddish!😆Love this, Richard was the best. And YES, the best dressed, cat was slick! Hip! I feel a little broken hearted every time I remember he has died. But the laughs he gave us, eternal. Thank you Richard!
Richard was so damn funny, thank you Dave for having him on over the years!
Richard Lewis has kept me laughing since the 1970s. RIP, you silly, brilliant, and charming comedian.
Oh boy, what an incredible set of clips y'all put together! Richard was a must see back in those days. Love that last bit when Dave gives Richard an epic compliment.
THANK YOU for this most fitting tribute to a great comedian.
I loved him. I’m so sad about his illness and passing. Nobody had a style like Richard.
The first bit: Tinder in LA from 2014-2017 was the best time I've had in my life
Rest in Peace Mr. Lewis, thanks for the laughs ❤
That was so so good. Thank you to whoever put that together.
Always loved Richard Lewis. He will be deeply missed. RIP.
Richard just seemed like such a fun guy to hang out with. Would love to have been able to sit at a diner slugging back coffee with him at 2am and just let him talk. I hope this is what he's doing in heaven.
Richard Lewis will be sadly missed. Great compilation!
He was a beautiful, funny, open book of a man. R.I.P. Richard Lewis.
Funny guy! Thanks for putting this together. Richard Lewis will be missed. The world is becoming a darker place.
RIP, Richard. Thanks for all the laughs!
I'm sure I saw most of these when they first aired on Letterman. Thanks for these clips. I laughed out loud like the first time
What a cool gig. Everybody he talked to, was his Doctor or Therapist, and he was the one getting paid. Thats how you work it.
its something to think how fleeting life is. just short of 7 years ago we lost don rickles, and now we are saying goodbye to the next generation of comedians already. bittersweet. God bless from a gentile named Richard.
actually all the best born in the 50s and many in the 60s were wiped out first. now we backtrack to the 40s
Rest in Peace Mr. Lewis. I also miss Dave. All of the new host can't compare.
" who are you, gorbachev"? LOL
Richard Lewis was the BEST.😂
This made me laugh hysterically and then cry at the end. Thank you so much ❤.
One of the greatest! RIP Richard Lewis. You were so funny 😂
R.I.P. RIchard Lewis, enjoy your next journey!
First manic, stream of consciousness comic. Like maron. Coined the phrase "blank" from hell. Also went out with grace kelly. What a life.
He was a gem. ❤
Thanks Dave
Great tribute, thanks Mr. Letterman!
Richard made me laugh every time. Loved him. Thanks for sharing.
“A slooce of poozzi with anchoovies “ 😂😂😂
I had such a crush on this man growing up. May his soul be at peace.
A crush? On Rochard Lewis?
@@concernedcitizen1382 Yes I love crazy white guys lol
I never heard of him until now, but I have been binge watching. Love this guy. If I could go back in time, I would have married this guy.
@@concernedcitizen1382 I guess I had a thing for Jewish neurotic guys lol
Brilliant Comic. Here's to Richard Lewis. Thanks, Dave.
Seen lots of Lewis-Letterman clips on YT/elsewhere. This really tops everything in terms of novelty and great retranscription of preexisting stuff, from Lewis's career. Honestly I wish they could have shown all of Richard's appearance from Late Night's "Too Tired To Do A Show". Imo that was the crowning jewel of Richard's panel work and under adverse circumstances. *RIP* Richard Lewis
thank you to whoever put this together!
Loved this guy. Miss him already
Rest in Peace Richard! Thanks 4 everything 🔥
So unique and so funny.
I always remembered when Richard was going to be on late night and staying up since the beginning RIP RL thanks for all the laughs
what a time that was to be alive. richard will forever be prince john to me. rip.
He gave us so much joy ~
Dave, my condolences on the passing of your friend😢.
Loved ones pass on; they're still w us💞; they never pass away
My favorite Richard Lewis joke was when he said he was on the marquee with "King crab."
"A sluce of puzza with ancheevees". Guy's a riot.
In tears, it’s that hilarious!
That was really outstanding.
Total stream of consciousness genius comedian...Richard Lewis an all-time angst-ridden comedian. Always made the show fun.
Really only knew him from curb appearances so can't wait to watch more. Madcap stuff is great. Brilliant banter between the 2😂
Most memorable face of the 80's and the 90's... i love him so much.
Rest in peace dear richard.
Thanks for this, nice compilation. Forgotten how funny he was.
Richard Lewis was born to be a comedian in the very best sense of the word: masterful, human and brilliant!
This one had me howling. Very underrated comic nowadays, even though he's on Curb. That "sleuce o' putza" bit slayed me back in the day
Such a tough period of loss for those of us who’s life has been enriched by these comedians: Norm, Gilbert and now Richard ( I know there are a couple others I have omitted ) RIP
The Other Great Depression was great. Rest Peacefully. True talent
Thank you so much for this. RL was the best. And DL too.
His delivery and cadence is like a homage to Lenny Bruce.
They should air this at 11:30 every night. Would destroy any of the current late night shows.
Thank you
I remembered loving his comedy but watching this brought it all back. Such a unique comedic perspective..( libido locked in a tomb in Egypt )
This one was born a pro.
Best hair in comedy!
thank you so much for including one of my favorite moments --
"you mean a sluce a' pootza with ancheebies ?"
8:49
the best part of this video is how it flashbangs you between every clip
Why was he never a leading man in a Woody Allen movie? Such a great comedic natural
😥 Fly free Richard Lewis 🦅 Deepest condolences to your family and friends 💖 🌹🇨🇦
I miss the Late 20th Century, what a great time to live....
In the Gilbert Gottfried podcast he said that he was thankful to Letterman for putting him on to do his bit seated, because Richard didn't like his first time in carson.
gilly :(
Legend
Non stop gold!
Be sure to listen to Kieth Olbermann's Countdown podcast to hear how Richard Lewis's death affected him.
Very moving.
that made me wish i knew him
ONE OF THE KINGS OF COMEDY !!! There's nothing quite like that neurotic Jewish humor to really bust you up , he was the best at it !!!
R.I.P. to one of the greats--thank you for making this fantastic montage of malaise.
