She’s great.
Interesting to see the distance between appearances and change in chemistry at the end.
Yeah, wonder what’s up with that. And Hudson Hawk is a great movie.
I think it's obvious. At the start she's on all the time like Phyllis Newman or Suzanne Somers on Carson. She pisses him off with the pregnancy appearance, and she's reduced to a few times a year. He really seems upset with her after the Madonna thing. I think maybe he was annoyed that she waited till the end of her appearance to bring Madonna out, thus getting two extra segments for herself. In the early '90s, she tells Bill Carter that during a commercial break he once wrote down "I hate myself" on a piece of paper and slid it over to her. She said "why? What's up?" and her underlined it twice and slid it back. Then she recreated that scene in the movie version of The Late Shift. The last time she was on in 1998, during the commercial, Letterman blindsided her by saying "so are you still trashing me in the press?" The distance and increasing lack of chemistry isn't her fault. I want to be respectful, so that's all I'll say.
After seeing the below, I stand corrected. It was Teri Garr, but Sandra played it in the movie. Fact is, Letterman was increasingly uncomfortable with spontaneous characters like Bernhard as the years went on. To the detriment of the show, in my opinion.
@@johndalton3180 Great analysis, John. Thank you. I too wondered about the distance growing between them on later shows.
What was the Shelly Long interview like? She kept on ribbing Dave about it.
I was in school for the entire length of these appearances starting with my sophomore year in high school to the end of college. In her 1992 appearance, she said she had been in Europe which is when she probably did her cameo in Madonna’s Truth or Dare.
She was right about Isaac Mizrahi.
She's a piece of work.
Obsessed.
"With all the great new singers, The Taylor Daynes, The Pebbles, The Paula Abduls, sometimes I just wander around, aimlessly, depressed, thinking WHERE IS STACY-QQQQQQQQ?"
~Sandra Bernhard, Late Nite, 1989
Thirty years later I’m watching this and wondering, how did I miss her the first time around,
she is unbelievably funny!
👍 Late Nite just fit my schedule 1984-1991 esp.1986-88. She is out of sight!
I saw her 30 years ago, but I find that I appreciate her even more now.
She’s funny as hell. Sexy and great w straight man Dave getting a roast in every once in a while
Dave’s Late Show audience is dead. It’s like they had no idea how to process Sandra. The last two appearances are borderline depressing.
Her Late Nite appearances were amazing.
Sandra Bernhard is a natural, she looks at every camera and goof around and whenever she’s the guest she brings the best out of Letterman! Always so funny and messy!
My parents were obsessed with her when I was a child. So naturally I was Un-interested. Fast forward 30 years, and here I am. OBSESSED ❤️
That sequined Isaac Mizrahi dress is stunning. 56:30 - All of the cultural references she mentions are lost on Dave.
Hot!

I am watching from Europe and I am not suprised when americans are dumb!
It is actually shocking to have a halfway decent and informed conversation with an american anywhere else in world.
Sandra was too much for the US.
There's just something about Sandra ...the over-the-top enthusiasm, the pop culture diva, the raw vulnerability, the profound confidence, the sheer audacity - a one of a kind talent and beauty!!
It's called cocaine
@@jordanallen3078 just don't call it 'tootskie'
Excellent analysis.
Well said.
Mlm
Amazing parade of stunning fashion!
Mizrahi! Chanel! Prada! Babe Paley! Eartha Kitt! Glamour! Vogue! Naomi Campbell! Andre Leon Talley!
As a fashion student in the 90s, the Sandra Bernhard brand of stylish sophisticated humor was intoxicating.
it's such a shame...that he never had her on again before he left....come on......she was MAGIC on this show.
He had a bug up his ass about something she did. You could tell he was less and less enamoured with her as the years went by, and unfortunately he didn't treat her very respectfully the last few years, IMO.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH why was she banned finally
Really interesting to see her last two appearances has a four year gap between them...1994 to 1998. That’s a long stretch.
@@pam0626 A gap wider than Dave's! (Here all week.)
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH There is no smoking gun. The probable reason turned out to be surprisingly banal.
Poster "S Garrett" down below unearthed this clip ... ruclips.net/video/XGpBle0g87g/видео.html
One of Dave's best regulars
Don, thanks very much for compiling this!
God, how I love Sandra!
Such intelligence! Such talent! Such raw wit!
Saw her shows three times. She was amazing always. Met her after the last show, very funny and engaging
I love her podcast Sandyland on SiriusXM.... she’s a great interviewer. Loved Bette Midler .. she sings on her show too
Thank you: learning that she's still out there (still) kickin' it made me feel oddly wistful and glad. I'll check it out.
i mean, can we get back to personality already? geez you watch this and then think about that sad, sad colbert guy.
She is a little manic, but at least she brings energy and not the PR controlled gibberish that so many bring..
Man. you are a hard working good-hearted guy, Don.
She is AMAZING. I am in love with Sandra Bernhard.
Me too!!!
Aren't we all!

Sandra Bernhard was one of the best guests on Letterman, ever. She is fearless and funny and the type of guests that the audience just loves.
Great, SaBern, more entertainment per minute than any other guest.
No dull pre-scripted talk show comes close, today.
And, nice editing, Giller. Thanks.
Man, I never realized how much of a presence and a character she was. I only knew her from whenever she was on MTV in the 90s and I was a teen. Thanks so much for this Don! I’m a fan of hers now lol
You have got to check out the stand up performance that she did for HBO called "I'm Still Here Damn It!" that is if you haven't already. It's hilarious....you'll piss yourself! ruclips.net/video/LfnLjGyd52k/видео.html
she's so intelligent and unique I don't know why she didn't become massively famous - I doubt here in the UK people even know who she is
Maybe she was too versatile a talent and couldn't be pigeon-holed enough for people to take her on
She has many fans in the UK - even though she seems intent on moaning about the place every time she's here :) - I've been with her since the beginning and seen all her shows ( it's not the UK that pigeon holes btw, it's the States )
Sort of akin to Martin Short in the too-versatile-couldn't-be-pigeon-holed category.
@@mildredhighcock7333 You note without a trace of irony (or self-awareness) that those in the UK don't pigeon-hole others ... by pigeon-holing Americans in the same breath. 🤮
I totally agree with you. Watch that horrible interview on YT she did with Ruby Wax in the mid-90’s where Ruby so cruelly insulted her. I honestly think Sandra came on the scene 30 years too soon. Back in the 80-90’s, Hollywood’s standards for beauty were too narrow for her uniqueness to be celebrated. Similarly, someone like Lady Gaga would never have been cast in A Star is Born had that remake been made in the 1990’s.
@@pam0626 100% accurate. I love this comment
She is funny, can sing and the energy is so entertaining.
She's a great actress. Try =The King of Comedy= if you haven't.
"Where is Stacey Q!?"
I loved that and was shocked it fell so flat with the audience.
@@popastrology1900i guess the audience was filled with Stacey Q, SSQ Fans
What would happen if she- and David Lee Roth from Van Halen, had ....a baby ?
I love her! She would be sooo fun to hang out with!
I have had a huge crush on her since I was a kid. Crush renewed thanks
❤
Keep the love strong, Bud! ❤❤❤
Again: I am so grateful for this!
She was goofy, natural, a one of a kind. Never got tired of her.
👏👏
It’s a lip thang.
I loved the chemistry and banter between Sandra and Dave. I still find myself thoroughly entertained watching these clips.
she's brilliant
She came to Vancouver in 1988. I got her autograph at A&B sound
The "chemistry" is AMAZING.
Love that woman.
@13:54 Wow!! A different time! Very uncommon to see a lady smoking a cigarette on national tv. Imagine if Sandra was doing this, but today and as a on The View ? Different day and age !
@44:00 Sandra signing 'I Touch Myself' by The Divinyls!!! 🤩
She's a total legend. Love Sandra. 💜💜💜
OH BABY! LOVE this broad! My fav! Just awasome fun and sexuality
Ok... I've watched all 3 Sandra Bernhard on Letterman collections 3 times. I might be obsessed.
(What's the deal with her panty hose making giant cellulite on her leg?!?) ;-)
Madonna stopped being friends with her why?
Stole her girlfriend. Ingrid Cesare
Immense gratitude.
Thanks for posting these masterpieces
I wonder why she was not on the show after 1998 since they seemed like nice friends.
Love her dress!👍
I’d like to think her oblique reference to a Whispers song was made only for me.
How the hell was she not born in NYC? She has the style, flair, and voice of the young Jewish NYC women of her time. I just assumed she was from there
Crazy funny, wicked smart.
Love her clothes.
Sandra was always a fantastic guest.
20:12 - “The entire cast of Hogan’s Heroes is doing Macbeth.”
She owns the room
Brilliant Sandra !
Sandra Rules!!
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Thank you SO much for compiling and uploading this, Don.
BACK TO YOU MAURY! 🤣🤣🤣
That was hilarious!!
@@popastrology1900 Wasn't it just! 🤣
I’m more into Redbooking! 👑
David had such a boyish charm. Nerdy and sexy at the same time.
But at the end of the 80ies all the money and fame had made him old and boring.
He didn't want to be touched or kissed by Sandra.
She was too cool to be on his boring kiss assy show!
She was ahead of her time and America never caught up with her!
Such a shame
He was reluctant to be handled by anyone due to a car he was driving that had been rear-ended, resulting in a years-long neck injury.
the story is Mizrahi, darling, as always…
we’re giving sixties, we’re giving high glamour!

It took me 17 days.
THANK YOU, DON GILLER!
“Streep, Barr, brilliant!” Omg, she’s SOOOOO funny! The best!
Watching her last interview and I was wondering and looking for answers to her first baby, just to find out she was just teasing haha
How do you not love Sandra. See: Bill Maher interview SB 2024
Yup, that was a great episode of Club Random podcast. Bill got pretty buzzed drinking and hitting a joint, and next thing he knew, Sarah turned the tables and was interviewing HIM. You could tell Bill was a bit uncomfortable a few times but he stuck with it and revealed a lot about their unexplored relationship potential when they were both younger, new in the industry trying to make it. IMV, Sarah was putting on an unnatural shtick all the time back in the day - like the Dave Letterman shows - and just never "made it" the way Bill has now, later in life. She bemoans that a few times on Club Random, tries to play it off but you can tell she feels robbed of the kind of long-lasting fame she felt she deserved.
Did the scene in 'Late Shift' where Dave writes "I hate myself" actually happen w/Sandra Bernhard? If so, do you know in which appearance it happened?
It was with Teri Garr, and the incident was pumped up bigger than it merited.
@@dongiller Wasn't the origin of this story actually rooted in something embarrassing Dave had done during the segment (he had misunderstood something Garr had said, I believe) and he was trying to apologize for it?
It started n a Spy Magazine article. I forget what actually happened, but it wasn’t as extreme as it was made out to be. Will dig it out when I get a moment.
Speaking of which, are you working on a Teri Garr collection? I've heard she was one of his favorite guests.
Leonard Stilwell In time. After a compilation of this size, I need to decompress.
Omfg, Steve Winwood playing "Glad" at 54:05 !! :D
I did not have time to watch all of this but scanned through... Unless I miss it, I was hoping for the segment where she brings on Diane von Furstenberg paper towels... Been looking for that for a long time. Cracked me up! Thanks for the video.
One way to find out.
@@dongiller FOUND IT! THANKS! Duh.. did not read.. It's in parts. In part 2 of 3.
She's high! On life.
😅 I looooovvvveeeee iiiit!! 😂❤
57:17 OMG dave is savage hahahahahahaha
Savage? I found her reply to be the better bon mot.
Where's the one from the movie 'The Late Shift'?
It’s not included here, obviously.
Does anyone know what song she came out to on June 23, 1989? Around the 13 minute mark.
I would guess it’s something she recorded.
Karyn White "Secret Rendezvous"
Kindof a pisser that he never had her on the CBS show. Did he?
Her two Late Show appearances are included here.
"It's probably a nice...blend."
Box O Thrills
What’s the song that starts @38:30?
Love Is Here and Now You’re Gone by The Supremes
@@simonjacob3949 thank you
Dave is thoroughly amused by her. Love it.
Letterman's show ran into 2015. Was her last appearance in 1998?
Yes.
Boring 2000’s talk show stuff it changed to
These were some good times ❤ Sandra is one of a kind
There never was a better chat show guest than La Sandra...
Did she stop going on in '98 or...and why? Anyone? Loved her on the show when I was a kid.
@Justin Stewart Whatever it was Sandy won't say
@Justin Stewart Can’t you tell? Dave is hugely irritated with her in this first clip. She tried to pull his head to her and she hurt his neck. When he tried to tell her she completely talked over him, which he also found irritating.
And... she seems like she’s high, maybe coke? Which if true, Dave would never go for.
In later appearances she continually takes the show away from Dave, and constantly talks over him, which he didn’t appreciate.
I also imagine Dave’s girlfriend grew weary of Sandra’s incessant over the top sexual advances.
So if her last appearance is in this series, though sad, I can understand why.
Dave switched over to a different network and "wiped his slate clean" started off the network with all New actors. Supposedly.
God made her & formed her in her mother's womb. Yeah God!
August 14h 1992, was there another segment after the commercial break that was emitted from this video?
With Sandra? No.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks as always, Don. A little sad to see that her last appearance was in 98. (The Late Shift movie was 96, so presumably it wasn't down to her appearance in that.) Searched a bit to see if she thought there was a reason and found this:
ruclips.net/video/XGpBle0g87g/видео.html
Sandra and David...they resemble
Was that Traffic at 54:00?
Just Steve Winwood, who was sitting in with the band that night.
@@dongiller I meant the song? It was Glad, right?
You are correct, sir!
ruddy brilliant woman :)
What’s the song playing from 13:05? And which episode do they play Rolling Stones Angie in?
karyn white secret rendezvous
good jagger take
Pareciera la hija de la Vitola.
5:34!!!!!!!! LOLOLOL His face!
why was she banned from the show?
Will there be a Maher's Box O' Thrills Collection?
There already is. I put it up two years ago - ruclips.net/video/vK-n0-tws24/видео.html
Dave: No, it's too easy. We actually have to dial your schedule back - we're trying to work with some other people, don't you know? And was it ever any better?
Never.
