The Giller, you are a hall of fame editor. You always get the interesting wrappers, and no more. And never cut out abruptly or or leave us hanging. You are a technical god, sir.
Buck Henry was actually a More talented Actor that ended up becoming a Brilliant Writer "truly i Pioneer in field of comedy" he represented a time were comedy was bit upper class still as only the upper-class went a Saw the Stage shows "he was a Stage performer that had done a few skits in his day then moved to Writing Screenplay comedy" it was his passion in the first place COMEDY his heart was always in the right place but needed time to know he was TO BE a writer NOT a famous Actor like he first ambitioned his career to be it took a Good actor of Comedy to know how to write comedy screen play as you have to imagine the whole seen Just like the director except the director already been shown the seen BY WHAT IS WRITTEN in the screen play so it a good job for Highly Imaginative person who has people around them that are naturally funny or WEIRD and a COMEDY writer is BORN , Buck Henry would talk a lot with Mel Brooks and you notice they have similar comedy styles like the move Robin hood Men in Tights has A lot of Buck Henry's comedy but it was as Mel brooks was his good friend they shared jokes all the time
I have been in love with Belinda Carlisle since I first saw her. What a fine woman. How can someone so famous be so shy? And Buck Henry, I remember how excited I would get when he was on S.N.L. I loved when he would be the pervert babysitter and he would have Gilda Radner and Lorain Newman sit on the glass top coffee table while he would slide under the table with his polaroid camera and take some pictures with the bulbs flashing. That was back when there was this art form and is was wonderful. It was called ''comedy''
a Letterman ‘collection’ series is a modern RUclips binge statement that is delightfully sick and grotesquely entertaining mash of organized flashbacks
Great collection, but... what happened? Buck just stopped doing the show after 1994? They really seemed to enjoy the repartee. And he was so funny! I'd have thought this would be twice as long.
If any of their banter is scripted they are doing a really good job of making it sound natural. I was aware of Buck didn’t realized he was such a great guest and actually more likable than I used to think. Maybe he creepy characters affected his public perception.
I'm guessing that the producers of the new show wanted to get a younger audience decided Buck wasn't young enough for the new show. Too bad. I loved him!God bless his soul.
Hi Don, awesome video as always. I hate to ask since I know you are super busy but could you please upload when Belinda Carlisle did Heaven is a Place on Earth on Late Night? There is a clip elsewhere but it is incomplete. Thanks for your consideration!
God I miss excellent dry humor 21st century is almost completely devoid of it SNL is all cue card reading and weekend update guys who giggle at everything they say to remind the audience to laugh
The song was The Who's "Boris the Spider." It came out of the Top Ten list, "Top Ten Items on the Bush/Yeltsin Summit Agenda." (Boris Yeltsin, see...) Stanley "Buckwheat" Dural sat in with the band throughout the show, and a few acts later, Buckwheat Zydeco performed "Hey Joe."
....with little sleep ; 1 to 2 hours per 24 , for a 7 day period , you....move from a general self-loathing.....to progress to a general hatred of everything. Classic.
He may be underrated in comparison to some of the all time great brilliant twisted entertainment minds - Woody, Allen (Steve, when he wanted to be), Pryor, Kovacs, L. David, Carlin, sometimes Burr and CK, Groening, Trey Parker.
“Catch 22” His comments about Quayle were funny. But the joking about Rushdie wasn’t very funny. And I wonder why they never once used the word fatwa instead of beating around the bush.
I don't know man, this was sorta cringy and uncomfortable to watch. Especially how he talked to people, put down struggling business, and was really pushy on her. smh
The Giller, you are a hall of fame editor. You always get the interesting wrappers, and no more. And never cut out abruptly or or leave us hanging. You are a technical god, sir.
Yes! It’s a classy affair.
I didn't remember him being such a great guest. Thanks for the upload!
Thank you for sharing some of Buck Henry's intelligent humor and dry wit.
Ah, what a joy this was to watch! Imo, Henry and Letterman brought out the best in each other during these interviews. Pure delight!
Just heard Buck passed earlier this week. RIP Mr. Henry!
Buck Henry was a great straight man on many SNL skits, and a
brilliant writer! The Graduate was
fantastic...
Passed what? Gas?
@@eerievibes6854 hey, you nearly had a joke there.
Buck Henry was a complete genius and will be missed. He wrote The Graduate and the original Get Smart and so much more.
Buck Henry was actually a More talented Actor that ended up becoming a Brilliant Writer "truly i Pioneer in field of comedy"
he represented a time were comedy was bit upper class still as only the upper-class went a Saw the Stage shows
"he was a Stage performer that had done a few skits in his day then moved to Writing Screenplay comedy"
it was his passion in the first place COMEDY his heart was always in the right place but needed time to know
he was TO BE a writer NOT a famous Actor like he first ambitioned his career to be
it took a Good actor of Comedy to know how to write comedy screen play as you have to imagine the whole seen
Just like the director except
the director already been shown the seen BY WHAT IS WRITTEN in the screen play
so it a good job for Highly Imaginative person who has people around them that are naturally funny or WEIRD
and a COMEDY writer is BORN ,
Buck Henry would talk a lot with Mel Brooks and you notice they have similar comedy styles
like the move Robin hood Men in Tights has A lot of Buck Henry's comedy but it was as Mel brooks was his good friend
they shared jokes all the time
@@aimeeread3898 I agree!

So excited about a Buck Henry vid :)
RIP Jan 8, 2020, I really enjoyed his humor.
RIP. A true legend.
RIP BUCK HENRY!!!
Buck and Steve Martin were the best writers.......................period.
I just love listening to this guy talk. Always have.
RIP Buck you were so underrated and unique
I really love how shy, humble and bashful Belinda Carlisle is. Makes her so much more attractive than she already is.
1:41:22 David Letterman makes a comeback SO astoundingly twisted and brilliant that Buck Henry is taken aback. A pair of comic geniuses in the room.
Gave my thumbs up!
Belinda,,, what a beauty! BH wrote some of the greatest stuff, extremely funny.
Wrote for "Get Smart" along with Mel Brooks.
Just to alleviate some confusion: Belinda was the musical guest on 10/13/87, then came back at Dave and Paul's insistence two days later?
Correct.
Rest in Peace Mr. Henry. My condolences to his friends and family.
very good video
Rest in peace Buck Henry Jan 9, 2020
Great collection, but... what happened? Buck just stopped doing the show after 1994? They really seemed to enjoy the repartee. And he was so funny! I'd have thought this would be twice as long.
Buck Henry in film "Short Cuts" while picking up film print order at a Fotomat booth is H I L A R I O U S !!!!
Anyone ever notice that Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven Is A Place On Earth" has the same melody as Bon Jovi's "You Give Love A Bad Name"?
Now that you mention it, I do get the same queasy feeling when I hear them both.
Very similar bassline...
At least Belindas song is listenable
@@PatTheBatmanFan Good one!
@@billharris1847 Truth spoken here.
I was so scared that he had died. Thanks for noting that he's still alive, and thanks for reading my mind and making this much needed compilation.
Alas, Andrew...
Back when Letterman was really funny. The NBC years. I never missed a show.
this is Past That. (Letterman is so fraught with losers and weasels and bats. it's his!)
Great guest, so smart and funny. #RIPBuck
If any of their banter is scripted they are doing a really good job of making it sound natural. I was aware of Buck didn’t realized he was such a great guest and actually more likable than I used to think. Maybe he creepy characters affected his public perception.
He abruptly stopped coming on in 1994, interesting.
I'm guessing that the producers of the new show wanted to get a younger audience decided Buck wasn't young enough for the new show. Too bad. I loved him!God bless his soul.

"you didn't even know CPR"
"I didn't even know HER"
RIP Buck Henry
He was so great on FALCON CREST as Foster Glenn.
Hi Don, awesome video as always. I hate to ask since I know you are super busy but could you please upload when Belinda Carlisle did Heaven is a Place on Earth on Late Night? There is a clip elsewhere but it is incomplete. Thanks for your consideration!
Just put it up -- ruclips.net/video/dOiiKhn52Xc/видео.html
she is awesome
Loved BH on SNL then found out he was a writer on Get Smart!
It's a shame that his mom's film from 1928 no longer exist,
God I miss excellent dry humor 21st century is almost completely devoid of it
SNL is all cue card reading and weekend update guys who giggle at everything they say to remind the audience to laugh
This is intellectual humor at it’s absolute best!
get smart is a fun sitcom and a fun spy movie
Good Writer!
2:00:29 Umm, Green Grass and High Tides??!!
(Must have been one HELL of a long break, huh)
Maybe the Giller can identify if the musical group The Outlaws were guests that night. I guess anything's possible.
The song was The Who's "Boris the Spider." It came out of the Top Ten list, "Top Ten Items on the Bush/Yeltsin Summit Agenda." (Boris Yeltsin, see...)
Stanley "Buckwheat" Dural sat in with the band throughout the show, and a few acts later, Buckwheat Zydeco performed "Hey Joe."
Belinda looks like Ann Margaret.

Shit, did I forget Winters?
38:09 lol subtle, "they woulda pulled me off her after ten minutes"
RIP
freddy giredet was the best chef in the world
Buck Henry blows a bubble off his tongue in a movie, anyone?
I want to hear about the Swiss girl who feinted.
“Catch 22”
His comments about Quayle were funny.
But the joking about Rushdie wasn’t very funny.
And I wonder why they never once used the word fatwa instead of beating around the bush.
I don't know man, this was sorta cringy and uncomfortable to watch. Especially how he talked to people, put down struggling business, and was really pushy on her. smh
teevee teeth
he's really really funny, but the political humor... not great.
