    She was wearing high heeled shoes, and a jacket/skirt ensemble, with her nightgown, with little pink ribbon, tucked in underneath! How do I no this??
    Because my mom would have done the same thing at 4AM!

    Fun fact: In David Sedaris' published diary, he describes Amy doing the same bit at 5:19 where she pretends that random people are her friends when visiting him in '87 after she finished her first few improv classes.

    wow... she looks great! and.. this was brave of her! used to see her in her building (not saying where obviously) bear with me i've been up all night so this will be confusing.. This was such an odd time only a few years after 9/11..trying to feel normal. I worked here a few years later. (this video is making me realize how long ago it was and it sucks). I just.. miss it with all of my heart... and it's not so much the location sometimes as cherishing the time spent here. This era... god.. The West village is ... such an amazing place.. the affluent... the poor.. the weird.. it's probably one of the smartest and progressive areas in the entire world.. I still can't believe I got to be here everyday. Sadly I can't just hop on an R train right now and see it within a few spins of my ipod.. I'll never forget my first halloween night here during parade.. my first date here.. and so many things have changed in 10 years... Walking through washington square casually while Obama is giving a speech.. coming out of a building on Hudson and getting a smirking glance from Lou Reed.. or playing dogs with Famke Janssen.. eating a hard boiled egg from a bodega... watching a man get hit with a baseball bat in broad daylight at the old Gotham porn shop...nearly getting blitzed by paparazzi tracking Minnie Driver.. paparazzi talking to me while waiting for Gisele and Tom Brady.. wondering if the hot babes in meat packing ever checked me out... yeah... R I P Kim's video!!!... I guess you never really knew how intense it was because it was so calm, I miss my acquaintances... even though they knew why I was there and we exist in separate classes.. everybody felt welcome.. we all had a common connection. I don't think it would be the same with a visit as the generations change but.. This is truly the adult-world disney land... I fucking miss it.. I love and miss all of you.. from the homeless to the celebrities..we were all on the same team in this cozy cutout of Manhattan island.. it's been too god damn long. I miss throwing up on the street from $1 drafts at Wicked Willy's .. I miss talking to Raheem. I miss playing darts at kettle or margaritas at cowgirls.. creepily sitting alone at slaughtered lamb (wow we drank a lot) or wasting quarters on galaga.. I miss sitting in front of Werner Herzog at IFC.. or taking low photos of Marwencol dolls on the sidewalk before I knew the story.. Spent a lot of time here... rarely at home.. in ten years whatever has happened to anyone professionally.. or if they're still with us or not.. It's really the strongest bittersweet I've ever felt. Unreal. Thank you so much for the memories, and here's to the future. I love and miss all of you.. I hope to feel that magic again soon. oh and $3 lychee martinis near caliente.. oh first short film festival submission in the village.. small or not having a film played in Manhattan was a big deal for me. rooftop party afterward... remedies at 4am haha... wow.

    • @VillemarMxO
      @VillemarMxO 7 лет назад +19

      Dave used to do this kind of random anarchic shit like having a show at 4AM all the time on his old NBC show, at the 12:30 AM slot after Carson that Conan O'Brien took over, like a show where they rotated the angle of the show 360 degrees over the course of the hour, holding a show on an airplane flight to Florida, a show done in a hotel room, things like that. It was pretty rare for him to do those kinds of shows after his switch to CBS in the 90's through till 2015, so this is another reason why this segment is so awesome. Not only Peak Amy Sedaris but Dave is mixing it up by filming at this hour, which was a great throwback.

      Villemar Conan O’Brien was inspired by some of Letterman’s antics when he finally got his shot on the late night slot. Conan did an entire show on boat. He once did an episode where the entire audience was children. Wonderfully awkward moments that you can only catch if you were up.
