I genuinely teared up after this video. I didn't want it to end. David is what I grew up watching and feel the same about how he feels about Regis. He is the last of the best late night talk show hosts. Dave you are the G.O.A.T.
I've watched David Letterman since I was a kid and always loved his genuine sense of humor. In my opinion, he's a living legend of late night television.
So happy to see David Letterman . When I was going to college I would not miss the NBC's Late night with David Letterman. Wish David all the best. Thanks Jimmy for bringing him to your show .
It makes me so happy to see two of the all-time great talks show hosts that have such a fondness for each other! They're both the epitome of THE REAL DEAL.
Boy do I miss David Letterman and his show and of course where would we be without Jimmy Kimmel. Great interview very funny and informative. There will never be another Regis, the guy was so authentic, caring and down to earth. Miss you Regis.
...ready...? It's about TIMING, PACE, build up, face time... For Jimmy, it's baby steps....and baby face beard...attempt. Ready ? For Dave, it's beard HIDING his face, as he hated shaving, and...well . . . it . . . D E p E N D z. ("...I ' LL be here all week. Thank you, . . .thank you very muuuch !")
Don't get complacent. Every single vote for Biden/Harris is a clear message to Trump and the world that Americans reject Trump's message of: divisiveness, hatred, greed, selfishness, incompetence, etc, etc, etc. Vote Blue!
I am so goddam puzzled about the Kim Kardasian thing. 80s Dave would have hated her. I watched the episode and she did NOT impress. So narcissistic, and how impressed should we be that she spends 20 (!) hours a week studying law??? I read 100 pages of case law a day in law school. She is deadly boring.
David Letterman is the my all-time favorite late night host (sorry Jimmy). Seeing him back on television is such a joy. It is like running into an old friend. Thanks for sharing Jimmy.
"So Jimmy, from time to time you have occasion to watch Live with Kelly and Ryan?" "Yes." "What are the circumstances that cause you to watch?" Best line ever!
That is the line I most remember from this interview when it first aired. So subtle and understated, and yet so hysterical. I think many of us feel that way towards that show!
They were always able to pull some of the icons of the era, but get them in most of the times to be themselves. Pretty Cool. I can see that same with Colbert.
Favorite Letterman story: Dave was on some college campus. Started a conversation with a student who seemed to not recognize him, so Dave asked him, "Do you know who I am?" Student responded, "Walt Whitman?" 😂😂😂😂 Such an academic response!
What an incredibly hillarious human being. Dave Letterman is just the funniest man on the planet of all time. I could hear him tell jokes every minute of every day and I'd die happy.
Yeah I noticed that too right away. He likes to cultivate his curmudgeon reputation but Dave can be a big softie, especially with the people he loves and he is fond of
Dave has always been just what you see,a very cool,honest,smart,funny,good guy.. wish him the very best and for his family too...thanks for this great posting
Dude looks so happy. Couple of years ago I studied in the US and was introduced to his show. Now I'm watching the Netflix-My-Next-Guest-Stuff. I'm amazed every time. He manages to build common ground and worm out secrets of people that otherwise you'd probably nerver hear of. Brings joy to me every single time. Much respect.
I agree , he was the first one to call out & confront trump about having his (very expensive) ties manufactured by chinese sweatshop children . His daughter-girlfriend...same deal .
did you ever see his morning talk show in the 70's? mid morning and his humor didn't mix for many people. they're waiting for the soap operas to begin and letterman was letterman and was too much for 10am. but i loved it and learned to really respect letterman for being the very smart, funny guy that he just is.
Dave, you have never been funnier! That whole bit about answering calls at home between 6 and 7 "it's like being in a play." So hilarious. And yes, we love you Regis. Dave, that segment was an A++, it was perfect. Thank you! I needed that laugh today.
I have loved Dave since I first discovered him doing a stand up routine. He was portraying a news anchor who says the end of the world is here, but first does your cat ever make this sound. Then he proceeds to imitate a cat coughing up a hairball. I died laughing. It was the funniest thing I ever saw. I always said it didn't matter who the guest was on Letterman~you tuned in for Dave. Wish they'd do a compilation of all the Jungle Jack Hanna visits and Dave's specials, like the velcro wall. I'm happy that I saw both shows in person a few times. Good memories!!
Beautiful! The amount of respect between these two men is almost palpable. God bless you both. And thank you for the countless smiles not only during this time when we need them more than ever, but also over the many, many years you’ve both been doing your things. Endless love and gratitude for you both. Stay safe.

I don't want to wait to celebrate people I love. I don't want to wait until they've moved on from this life. I want to tell them how much I love them right now and always! Today I want to share my love and gratitude for a person who has had an amazing effect on my life, my art and my personality. A person who has entertained me and lifted my spirits since I was 13-years-old - and showed me what fun being silly can be. His dry humor, his attention to the little things that make us laugh and his overall persona - a lovely mixture of playful mischief, warmth and intelligence - Mr David Letterman
Kimmel didn’t even blink when Dave said that. Didn’t even seem to hear him. Watch it again 17:52 People just see what they want to see these days. What a fascinating phenomenon
How good is it to have Dave back...at least in some capacity. I was under no illusions when he left late night at how badly I would miss him, but I didn't hold my breath waiting for a return, so I'm so glad for an opportunity to watch him in any way, shape or form!
Seems? You would know he is a genius if you watched his late night shows. One of the quickest wits to have ever existed. The man truly was and still is a gift.
Funny. I was just talking to my wife about these stupid calls we get early in the morning. My solution was to ask who they are calling for. Then I would say hold on and I'll go get her/him, then leave the phone on the table until they hang up. I figure I can waste his time and spare others from his calls.
@bella rose Totally agree being a black person myself and having read the bible where it is obviously noted. However I was basing it off the pictures that has been thrust on us.
Brings back memories growing up...staying up late to watch Letterman. And feeling pretty cool about it. Lol. Like, we were a little late night club. Great guests, humor and laughter. Thanks, Dave
"What are the circumstances that cause you to watch?" That was a hilarious question and just a reminder of his genius phrasing, delivery and timing and why Letterman was one of the best talk show hosts ever.
Talking about Regis.... Makes me sad to think Letterman will leave us someday. I’m 44 and used to spend many hours laughing with Dave and Paul. After a bad day you could go to sleep in a good mood.
So glad he’s back in the business with his Netflix show. David Letterman also grew up in Indiana and was in the same graduating glass at Ball State with my mother. 😊

Whenever Regis was on Letterman, you just knew it was going to be a great show! Two legends.
It makes me so happy to see two of the all-time great talks show hosts that have such a fondness for each other! They're both the epitome of THE REAL DEAL.
It is so great to watch Jimmy speaking to his hero. Dave will always be the best.

David Letterman makes me feel like the world is a happy safe place ❤
Always and still!
Trolling telemarketers is a calling, not a hobby.
Aw, I missed David. Such a wonderful person. I could listen to him tell stories for hours.
💛
I enjoyed that a lot. Nice to see David Letterman. He hasn't lost a step.

Dave's the best!!
That was the BEST entrance on COVID . OMG - He still making us laugh.
This was great. Dave's comedic timing always makes me laugh out loud.
This made me realize how much I miss Letterman.
But we still have him on Netflix ❤
So much, the GOAT
so freaking much
he's a likeable guy, but I can't forget how weird he was with women he interviewed in his early days
@@lauramessy how was it? I knew he was little creepy. Idk why but after the beard I started to like the guy.
We miss you Dave and that big goofy smile!
You can tell Kimmel is still nervous talking to his idol lol
Lol it's funny and Letterman is just effortless dgaf
I don't think so at all. I think he knows Letterman loves him and they are totally good with each other.
lol You read my mind!
Don't get complacent. Every single vote for Biden/Harris is a clear message to Trump and the world
that Americans reject Trump's message of: divisiveness, hatred, greed,

Absolutely
I fell off my chair laughing so hard.

I think Jimmy would agree with you

That is the line I most remember from this interview when it first aired. So subtle and understated, and yet so hysterical. I think many of us feel that way towards that show!
*WE LOVE YOU DAVE!!!!!* For people of my generation Letterman and Carson will always be *KING* .
They were always able to pull some of the icons of the era, but get them in most of the times to be themselves. Pretty Cool. I can see that same with Colbert.
Oh yes man I agree with you
@@elizabethashcraft9485 Some people joked he looks like Walt Whitman. I love *BOTH* Walt Whitman and Dave, so I am cool with it.

Did Kimmel make that joke in the intro
It was a part of Jimmy monologue that night !
@@boudebaba I missed the monologue. Thanks for letting me know👍
So good 🤣
Thanks Betty
David is a legend
THE MAN.THE LEGEND.THE BEARD - LETTERMAN
F’N RIGHT✅👍💯
David is a national treasure. Love the beard. I really do love the beard.
Dave became emotional when Jimmy talked about Regis Philbin!
You forgot - the NOSE Letterman
@@Augmuse yeah, because you are not his wife! That beard is just horrible on him, he could trim that savage shrub down (a bit). Come on...
Dave is the best interviewer AND guest. I've seen him with Carson and Leno and he's always clever, extremely entertaining and gracious.
Wow. You could immediately see Dave get emotional when Jimmy brought up Regis
For sure
Yeah I noticed that too right away. He likes to cultivate his curmudgeon reputation but Dave can be a big softie, especially with the people he loves and he is fond of
Yes, he covered his face up right away so he could gather himself & we wouldn't see him begin to ugly cry...Very touching.
@@Elleffe Regis and Rickles on Letterman towards the end of his show was incredible. Those two guys were very close to Letterman.
Regis and Dave were hilarious together 🤣😂
All I see is respect, loads of it, in Jimmy's eyes, for David
And the feelings are mutual. When Dave told Jimmy he loved him, he really meant it.
god letterman is such a legend , i just wanna hug him and get him back to the every evening show
Every evening? It was called "Late night..." for a reason - it was late at night, duh!
Letterman is like a Dad to Jimmy 😇
and a crazy grandpa for all of us
Uh, Jimmy's actual dad is like a dad to Jimmy.
Drunk Uncle
@@fredflintstone522 Haha!!!!!!!!!!!
cant get enough Dave... I was lucky enough to see his show live twice... I love Dave...
“What are the circumstances...” lol man, I miss Dave.❤️
Damn I LOVE David. He’s so good!!! Can listen to him nonstop!
The GOAT

That sketchy mall Santa look though...
@@SENone-wu5cd william james 19th century to early 20th look. Like a wise man or is it wise guy

David Letterman is just an icon. His sincerity and natural sense of humor is just authentic and fabulous. Miss your night show Dave!
This has been such a weird insane year (2020), but seeing & hearing David here makes me feel re-grounded. 👍
Thank you all! ❤️
"What are the circumstances that cause you to watch ?"
LOL I LOVE THAT MAN SO MUCH 🤣
These man will never get old LOL
Dave has always been just what you see,a very cool,honest,smart,funny,good guy..
wish him the very best and for his family too...thanks for this great posting

I ask for their home phone number and tell them I'll call back at their breakfast/lunch/nap/dinner/bedtime. Gets them every time.
Watching letterman talk show was my method to learn English, he will always be my favorite .
RIP Regis .
I love Regis too, and Dave, and Jimmy ❤️
Dang, no one drops stuff off buildings like Dave. Such a hero, he's someone the protesters in Philly can look up to.. literally
Yeah! And the Know Your Cuts of Meat, Is This Anything?, his mother's pies, Stump the Band, the pizza on the Christmas tree, Will It Float?...
The first time I've had a real crying laugh since Letterman left the network broadcast Jimmy and Dave are the best...
Dave is the best there is, there was, and there ever will be.
This was great... so missing this interaction!
Those were the days. Miss you Dave!
There isn't anybody like David Letterman we miss this quality. Jimmy you bring back what old tv gave us . Thank you

David Letterman a true entertainer for all ages. Remember Mujibur and Sirajul in his early shows?
Whatever happened to those guys? The show was great with them.
Best guest of covid-45 era Kimmel show.
I could listen to Dave talk every single day. For hours.
I am so happy Jimmy has moved up a long way since when I first saw him on a set of Win Ben Stein in the early 2000s in Hollywood ....
Jimmy, "You say 'I love you' back when David Letterman says he loves you!" :)
"Love you back!"
I miss the timesso much when Dave was on 5 nights a week. Quite often for me, it was the best part of the day and made everything worth the hassle.
Letterman looks like one of the biblical prophets that's about to save the world
I was thinking Moses
Indeed! Too funny!!
His humor would save a lot of people from anxiety and rage & help them chill out.
I'm sure he'd be just as comfortable going with 'crazy old granpa who makes assorted craft items from recycled garbage'.
@bella rose Totally agree being a black person myself and having read the bible where it is obviously noted. However I was basing it off the pictures that has been thrust on us.
Actually there's no one better host of a show than Letterman
A night with Regis all through the house, not a sound to be heard and not even a mouse...
Who doesn't love Dave! Except for maybe Jay! Ha!
who the hell likes Jay?!! lol
Jay loves himself and conning innocent elderly people into buying privacy products that do nothing and rob them of their money.
@@SoItGoes5 Her "boyfriend" (a "48 Minutes" producer) knew what she was doing before she did it. Did you just get off the newbies bus??

Brings back memories growing up...staying up late to watch Letterman. And feeling pretty cool about it. Lol. Like, we were a little late night club. Great guests, humor and laughter. Thanks, Dave
It’s like Letterman talking to Carson! Miss them GOATS!
I actually think Regis was more alive and free on Daves show than anywhere else. They were great together.
Dave Letterman is the best person ever
Love David. Miss him. He's obviously very happy where his journey has taken him. Miss you David much love and blessings to you and your family 💕
People didn't really appreciate just how iconic David Letterman was until after he retired.
These two guys are enjoying the talk so much...... It's refreshing 😊
I love Jimmy's laugh ♥️
"What are the circumstances that cause you to watch?" That was a hilarious question and just a reminder of his genius phrasing, delivery and timing and why Letterman was one of the best talk show hosts ever.
Wallpaper over the light switch. Dave is definitely old school.
Wall paper AT ALL., right? Lol. I love it!
@@dollymadison2397 Wallpaper has been back in style for some four years now. Updated , not like Dave’s.
I believe he lives in a real old house in Montana (?) I can't imagine redecorating is high on his list of interests or priorities.
Talking about Regis....
Makes me sad to think Letterman will leave us someday. I’m 44 and used to spend many hours laughing with Dave and Paul. After a bad day you could go to sleep in a good mood.
So glad he’s back in the business with his Netflix show.
David Letterman also grew up in Indiana and was in the same graduating glass at Ball State with my mother. 😊
