    My dad enjoyed Charles Gordin’s visits to David Letterman. He really liked that he understood how Charles was putting on an act and how sometimes the audience didn’t seem to get the joke. I’m thankful my dad brought me in on the joke too! I was always so excited to see Charles Grodin spar with David. Mr. Grodin will be missed.

    I love how when David counters, Charles is able to swallow his laugh. Then he covnerts his laugh into a smile to keep the illusion of tension going.

    I remember watching one of his appearances on Letterman as a kid and wondering why he’s so mean while my dad was crying with laughter. Charles Grodins deadpan humor is just perfect. And never once cracked a smile while keeping up the act.

    @andyb811 2 года назад +9

    Watching these while recuperating from knee surgery, it appears Letterman was way more entertaining at 12:30 than CBS at 11:30. Maybe because he was older and had to be more professional, corporate or less jocular. But he was way more entertaining than anyone else on the air now (or is that just me?) I know the writers have much input but Camera Night; hosting the show while waiting for cable; Jumpsuit night; watching a re-run.
