It is extraordinary to think that all those long decades on network television will be nothing but a footnote in Dave's career in comparison to his appearances on the much lauded Barbara Gaines Show.
I find Mary's explicit indifference to be strangely attractive, as if she's channeling all the women I've known intimately over my long life, including my current wife. If Mary and I were a couple I can see a typical conversation with her: Me: Sweetie, I was just thinking about.... Mary: (interrupting with a dismissive "go away" hand wave) Yeah, whatever.
Until this episode, i thought The Barbara Gaines Show was shot in front of a green screen, and the image behind them was just stock footage. I was amazed when Larry gave a wave!
@@dehydratedwater9806 I subscribe because Dave shouldn't have to worry about paying his bills while enjoying his La Dolce Vita retirement. Plus, he has a kid in college and college is expensive.
Thanks so much for this show! I adore it and never miss it. TV isn’t the same without you. You are one of a kind. Best to you, Barbara, and Mary. ❤️❤️❤️
Dave seems much happier now than he was 20 years ago. I've been watching the Dave Letterman videos that were "writer's favorites". Why not have Letterman's former writers interview and reminisce with Dave? Thanks, GKennedy NYC
If one looks up the word "acerbic" in your Funk & Wagnalls, there is a photo of Mary. Iconic, is Mary, but also beloved. Often imitated; never duplicated is Mary. Mary is actually, Barbara Gaines' Svengali. The Wankel engine behind the Gaines' internet entertainment juggernaut is Mary. Yeah, Mary is alright.
Mary is quite adorbsablez and quite fetching; enjoy how she obv loves Dave and Barbara and is completely uncomfortable being on camera yet presses on. More Mary!
I highly recommend Barbara's Gaines Burgers! Your dog will love them, but humans find them tasty as well! Gaines Burgers, the canned dog food without the can.
MARY!! You bring out the best in Dave. He's so prone to be cranky - until you come along, apathetic, and settle him right down in his lovely hospital ward - I mean, insurance agency.
I can never concentrate on the Barbara Gaines Show because I'm always trying to figure out where the hell this is being filmed. It gives the aura of the security hall lobby outside the local library. ...LMAO...just finished this and now they're introducing Larry and Bob in the back. Okay, insurance office! ...Or, a hospital.
Dear Barbara, Mary and Dave: The one question I always wanted to send in to "Viewer Mail", was "Why did you stop featuring "Viewer Mail"?" Unfortunately, I couldn't send in my question regarding "Viewer Mail", because you stopped featuring "Viewer Mail". So I'll ask here and now: Why did you stop featuring "Viewer Mail"? (When Dave hosted his "Late Show" on CBS, I mean.) The "Viewer Mail" segment was always a favorite of mine. Thank-you for all you all do.
This is just speculation. Dave decision in 2000 to no longer rehearse anything could have been a factor. Viewer Mail and later CBS Mailbag gags could be relatively complex.
Bonjour du Québec! A toque is a wool bonet (?) pronounced toook (tuque.) Basque sailors wore it in the North Atlantic for hundreds of years they were probably knitted near Wales. I wish I had a joke now.
Appreciate Mary's presence even if she doesn't like being in front of the camera. Genuinely thought the "guys" in the backdrop were just stock footage! Would love to see Dave answer questions again soon! How's Harry liking college? How's Dad adjusting to him being away from home? (My 19-year-old just finished his freshman year away from home and I can't say I've completely gotten used to the boy I raised for 18 years suddenly not living under the same roof anymore.)
Dave's surname is LETTERMAN...and he's wearing a Letter Man's jacket that reads...PANTS. True to form, true to form. 😂😂🤣🤣😎😎 One thing goes unexplained: why the '99' on his sleeve?
I wonder if Barbara is at Burning Man. I was wondering if we could get either a lushly animated intro for the Barbara Gaines Show like the Pink Panther movies, or a really terrible one like Between 2 Ferns. And if Rupert could sit there sometime and he and Dave could sit and talk and roll cigarettes. I love how Mary hates being there and is so funny if she ever chooses to speak, but is also great just sitting there judging.
God bless you Mary for enduring Dave's endless rambling. Dave, I'm not trying to be mean, you do you, but you do tend to ramble. Still, your the best, never missed a show.
Mary, you are one of the best entertainers on RUclips, next to the magnificent Barbara. You are wonderful and we need you! I can do without that pinhead in the "PANTS" jacket, though.
I LOVED seeing Dave as a guest on Jimmy Kimmels Special. Jimmy's affection for Dave is so sweet. I love that he got to meet his idol and walk in his shoes.
Soooo glad the pronunciation of the word "tuque" was corrected at the end. Otherwise I was going to have to sit down and write a sternly worded letter!
I had to set down my bowl of mixed nuts, and grab a tissue when I saw you use my comment on this evenings program. Looking forward to Paul's theme tune when revenue is more abundance.
Dave is wearing what I would call a flat cap. Tuque (tooook) is what we Canadians call a knit cap, aka beanie, watchman's cap, ski cap, etc. Come back Barbara, all is forgiven.
It is extraordinary to think that all those long decades on network television will be nothing but a footnote in Dave's career in comparison to his appearances on the much lauded Barbara Gaines Show.
Well observed.
He's still Dave from 1982.
@@geraldframinghammer2626no he’s not.
No. You should have been there for Larry "Bud" Mellman. His show was up for grabs each week.
He used to have a show?
okay,...i admit i love listening to Dave and watching Mary's explicit indifference

I like her aggressive apathy, myself.
Very unique,
I never miss an episode of the Barbara Gaines Show!
Best late night host on RUclips
Is it a show or a podcast
Barbara Gaines has missed more episodes of the Barbara Gaines Show than I have!
The Barbara Gaines show, featuring kooky sidekicks Mary and Dave, brings me endless joy.
Honestly, seeing Dave do this once a week is all I need.
This, and his upcoming 30 minutes a day aerobics challenge, hopefully premiering soon. He will save a nation with that show.
@@thelettermanpodcast In memory of Jack La Lane...rest in a jumpsuit💔
Barbara, congratulations on the show! Fantastic!
Mary is awesome. She has the goods and delivers every time. Funny stuff!
And _I think_ she's a total babe.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH That's because she is.
Oh just wonderful. 23 year old here--spend most of my free time watching David Letterman videos lol
Nothing has given me hope for future generations more than this comment my friend
Gives me great joy to see you three every few days. Have a great week!
Mary, you're a great part of Barbara's show!!! You're great, and your participation is most enjoyed!
Until this episode, i thought The Barbara Gaines Show was shot in front of a green screen, and the image behind them was just stock footage. I was amazed when Larry gave a wave!
Me too I was convinced it was just a zoom background or something similar.
I subscribe because Dave is the best. I wish he was still doing The Late Show on CBS.
I subscribe because I know Dave needs the money 🤑
@@dehydratedwater9806 I subscribe because Dave shouldn't have to worry about paying his bills while enjoying his La Dolce Vita retirement. Plus, he has a kid in college and college is expensive.
You gotta admit though, being a guest (and a frequent one at that) on the Barbara Gaines Show is a step up.
"They like your explicit indifference. They like your aggressive apathy. They like everything about it." Dave always sums it up eloquently.
Guys, thank you so much for doing these shows. Nominate Barbara for a Webbie.
Just a few minutes with Dave truly brightens my day
I love that Dave is always smiling in his old age - gives me hope.
He’s still as funny as ever, too!
Love the Barbara Gaines Show and her sidekick Dave Letterman. Thanks ❤😊
Mary asked my question…I’m honored.
Thanks so much for this show! I adore it and never miss it. TV isn’t the same without you. You are one of a kind. Best to you, Barbara, and Mary. ❤️❤️❤️
We love you, Mary! Get well soon, Barbara! Hey, Dave.
Need way more Mary episodes.
she's fantastic. I bet she's a great kisser too.
Dave seems much happier now than he was 20 years ago. I've been watching the Dave Letterman videos that were "writer's favorites".
Why not have Letterman's former writers interview and reminisce with Dave? Thanks, GKennedy NYC
Why? Because one of the perks of retirement is you no longer have to interact with lowly writers.
@lynnturman8157 except for the one you married 😅
Barbara Gaines has the best wacky sidekicks on any show ever.
Mary is integral to the Barbara and Mary show. It's nice they let Dave hang out with them.
We know Mary has groupies lined up down the hall. She’s a rock star. I want a t-shirt with one of her acerbic facial expressions.
If one looks up the word "acerbic" in your Funk & Wagnalls, there is a photo of Mary. Iconic, is Mary, but also beloved. Often imitated; never duplicated is Mary. Mary is actually, Barbara Gaines' Svengali. The Wankel engine behind the Gaines' internet entertainment juggernaut is Mary. Yeah, Mary is alright.
I like that Dave can swear now.
Dave you are the reward buddy!! Thanks for all the laughs! 🤣🤣🤣
Mary is quite adorbsablez and quite fetching; enjoy how she obv loves Dave and Barbara and is completely uncomfortable being on camera yet presses on. More Mary!
Gold star for whoever was behind the camera, who probably listened to Bob And Doug McKenzie's "Great White North" album as many times as I did.
I love “retirement” Dave. He’s just popping up here and there, having fun.
I live in Poland and I love Mary. And her reactions.
Love the explicit indifference.
I highly recommend Barbara's Gaines Burgers! Your dog will love them, but humans find them tasty as well! Gaines Burgers, the canned dog food without the can.
I must say The Barbara Gaines Show with guest host Mary was a historic moment for our nation
Great to see Dave again😀
I am never anything but happy to see Dave.
I LOVE THE CONNECTION WITH DAVE!!!!!!!!!!! PRICELESS!!
MARY!! You bring out the best in Dave. He's so prone to be cranky - until you come along, apathetic, and settle him right down in his lovely hospital ward - I mean, insurance agency.
I happen to resent that none of my previous, funny, comments have been acknowledged by this man.
I love your explicit indifference.
Mary really knows how to setup a comical answer
I love when you, Mary, yes you, appear on the show. 🥰😊
I love The Barbara Gaines Show. You three have the best chemistry. I'd call it a driving cap.
@@patreekotime4578 yes or in a car to keep the sun from burning your head.

It gives the aura of the security hall lobby outside the local library. ...LMAO...just finished this and now they're introducing Larry and Bob in the back. Okay, insurance office! ...Or, a hospital.
I still think its the lobby of Dave's assisted living home.
Dave finally trying to figure out how to monetize RUclips is hilarious. “Do we get money?” Dave asks “Eventually” is the answer. lol

Dave will always be funny. 😁
You mean, henceforth?
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH I mean past present and future.
If Don Rickles say Dave is funny. You better believe it.
I like Mary!
The dislike is palpable 😊
I rang the bell 🤣🤣🤣
There is so much passive aggressiveness, the needle broke off the meter.
I LIKE Mary on the show! More Mary!
We love Mary on the show! ❤
Hi Dave! Best energy ever! Keep going!
Love it whenever they have Dave the intern on.
Dave needs to do a Staff Favorite Moments
Dave being Dave. It just
starting to get better.
I love Mary. She is indispensable to these.
Way to go Dave. 👏
"Or do you have some comical answer?" Hahaha Mary is the new Dave!

First time viewer. Pretty funny. Thanks for making me smile. 😄
I miss Barbara Gaines on 'The Barbara Gaines' Show. It was nice to get George R.R. Martin to co-host this week.
A jacket that says PANTS? What's next, pants that say JACKET? I'm working on Gallagher's One Man Show...can I use that?
I like Mary's bad attitude.
Love this!
Well done!
The spin off ‘Barbara Is Busy’ -We follow Barbara running errands and cooking slow cooked meals for her family.
Yes. More Mary please🙂
Mary, you are one of the best entertainers on RUclips, next to the magnificent Barbara. You are wonderful and we need you!
I can do without that pinhead in the "PANTS" jacket, though.
LOL
This whatever the hell it is, is proof how valuable writers can be.
Dave's cap is referred to as a "British Convertible Car Drivers Cap" -- I wore one all the time while driving around in my 1962 Triumph TR3
WORLD...WIDE...PANTS! I love those jackets.
We love Mary!
This is like rousing a belligerent hermit from his cave to do a show
Mary is babe, was a babe, and will always be a babe.
Montreal loves Dave!!!
My stepfather was David's family accountant at the floral store.
was he the one who got arrested for embezzlement ?
He wishes!
@@rhuephus Wait WHAT !?! Charles Jordan ???
I like that Dave knew about ringing the bell and the younger person didn't seem to.
I hope Barbara isn't a casualty of the writer's strike!
I LOVED seeing Dave as a guest on Jimmy Kimmels Special. Jimmy's affection for Dave is so sweet. I love that he got to meet his idol and walk in his shoes.
