One thing is patently obvious. In these challenging times, we can all agree that what the world needs more of.....is Teri Garr.
I have resisted the urge to click off and gone through half the video. Never did I watch emptier, void of content stuff on a talk show. She's so irrelevant it's painful to watch. Is this what you Yankee consider interesting?
As Dave often observed, Teri Garr is one fabulous babe.
Such a sweetheart.
she cant help it nope
😁yup.
Teri Garr was such a beautiful young woman. Wishing her the best through that terrible illness.
Teri has great gams. Years of dancing has done her well.
It is impossible not to like her.
This is miraculous. Thank you so much for putting this together. She's just about the most charming woman on the planet.
Yes after meeting 3.5 billion women, I agree.
My dad knew Teri briefly, back in the early 1960’s, when they filmed a program called The TAMI show in California. My dad was the drummer of the Barbarians and Teri was one of the dancers. He said she was such an incredible dancer- the best one by far, and was just as sweet and beautiful as she appears in movies and on talk shows.
Your Dad was the one handed drummer? Cool!
@@BenDowdy thank you! I’m pretty proud of him. ❤️ His drumsticks are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Amazing.i always heard can't buy me love was based off a famous hollywood star, and then i hear the story about her stealing the dress to wear to her prom.maybe can't buy me love was based on teri's life.the young girl did look like her
I'm fascinated by Teri's funny demeanor...just such a breath of fresh air.
I own the DVD. I will have to watch it again . For both your Dad + Terri .

What a lovely woman and engaging personality. Always enjoyed her appearances. Thanks for the collection, Don!
Such a Beautiful Soul even years later with her struggles, still shining through. God Bless You Love ❤️
Lisa Kudrow’s character Phoebe on Friends reminds me a lot of Teri Garr. The laugh and mannerisms. I always wondered if Lisa channeled some of Teri’s behaviors into the character… Both are so funny, entertaining, and just... delightful!
Teri played Phoebe’s birth mother on the show. Guess the producers agree with you!
@@allenkishpaugh9228 I just caught that episode last night! With Phoebe getting pregnant with her brother’s kids and the cute pug puppy. 😂
And that’s why Lisa never seemed sincere in her energy for me. Just feels like she’s a poor man’s Teri Garr.
She HAD TO keep coming back on the show. Everyone loves her! She's adorable, entertaining, charming, talented, intelligent, and genuinely funny. She knows how to take a joke and she dealt Dave a few good ones here-n-there too!
I first remembered her name years ago when I saw her in Young Frankenstein, but fell in love with her in Close Encounters. She was so perfect for that role. Very believable. "Like a taco? Was it like one of those Sara Lee, um, moon-shaped cookies? Those crescent cookies? Don't you think I'm taking this really well?"
~JSV
Thank you so much for this!!!!!!!!
My love for Teri knows no bounds. None. If ever there were a woman in Hollywood that a guy like me would absolutely pine for, it would be Teri Garr. She possesses a level of intelligence, and comedic ability that is truly astonishing; her wit is so quick, it’s actually a little bit frightening.
Dave had a lot of guests on over the years. She was the gold standard. No matter the situation, watching her and Dave interact, you had to be constantly on your toes, because you never knew what she was going to say. If you truly paid attention, you were rewarded by her genius. They had this wonderful, relaxed banter, and she was so charming, and self deprecating. It was clear that the two had a genuine affection for each other. But mixed in among the conversation, her words could contain real bite. She wasn’t afraid to speak her mind. She was completely genuine, and utterly fearless. When MS started to noticeably affect her ability to walk, she continued going on Dave’s show as long as she could. Teri’s gracefulness never ceased to amaze me, and yet when she was presented with one of the greatest challenges any human being could possibly face, she continued on working, and would not let her illness force her from doing what she loved. She is the personification of class, and courage. As beautiful, and ridiculous sexy as she has always been, her humanity was always her greatest asset. I don’t think it was possible to see her interviewed just one time, and not fall completely in love with her. I would wait impatiently for her to be back on Letterman. I couldn’t get enough of her.
Teri, should you see this, I love ya. You are in my thoughts and my prayers. I thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all the joy you have brought into my life. You are one of a kind. A very special woman.
❤️❤️, SO TRUE So true and that is a beautiful assessment of Teri Garr I agree totally God bless you
I couldn't have said it better.
I remember that he once introduced her as "the love of my life". She is an absolutely adorable woman. She had a way about her that would make any man fall in love with her.
The incident at around 54:00 is exactly why many of us fell in love with her. It seems that when all of the fawning and gratuitous exposure of her by the industry hit her she felt the spectacle over her as a normal person was so unnecessary and embarrassing. It is so human to see tears come to her eyes as she sees all this ridiculous worship of Hollywood and its stars staring her in the face. What a sweet, funny, beautiful and genuinely interesting person! I wish her the best!
It was also quite notable how David reacted to her in such a humble, human way. Dave in his prime was the best thing on TV!
Well stated.
Miss those days
Simply the best I used to stay up in The 80s to watch his old show on NBC National Treasure wiity smart humble great listener he put people at ease his rapport with Terri Garr priceless What a funny smart humble and very talented person
Miss that man Terri Garr big fan
Teri Garr priceless
Teri is the real deal. I love her. Thanks Don.
I often stayed up late to watch Late Night in the 1980s, and it was always a treat when Teri Garr was one of the guests. She was beautiful, witty, and charming, and she and Dave had great chemistry together.
The Teri Garr / Jay Leno retrospects are such a blast to revisit. Leno's bullet delivery, Garr's downhome charm, and the Letterman show in general are 3 of the thousand or so reasons it was fun growing up in this period.
It’s amazing to hear her tell stories of meeting Elvis and being in his movies. And she was still so young here. She was also in the original Star Trek!
Once in Star trek. She was in things long before and uncredited.
Lets not forget.elvis liked young girls. I believe every bit of this. Sadly. Not sure how a grown man can like a 14 year old girl
Thanks for posting these, Don. She was one of the most entertaining guests to ever appear on his show.
Unfortunately, this beautiful lady has some health problems now. Best wishes, Teri! We’re pulling for you!
What's going on with her? I've been watching her since I was a kid. Used to have quite the crush on her. I'm 38 now...and who am I kidding----I *still* have quite the crush on her.
@@ontologicallysteve7765 she has either MS or something similar, just bad luck. She's obviously pretty much out of the limelight now-a-days.
@@ontologicallysteve7765 From Wikipedia: "In 2002, Teri Garr announced that she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, the symptoms of which had affected her ability to perform beginning in the 1990s.
The show was so awkward in the beginning. But Teri revels in it. Takes it in stride. An impressive sight to behold.
You make a good point, and I wonder if she helped Dave get more and more comfortable as the shows went on.
Were they ever a couple ?
She is so beautiful, smart, and clever! She's also very brave and doesn't back down from Dave when he's being snarky!
You sir, are a God among men. This collection is the one thing that RUclips always should've had. Now it does!
Reading these comments, I see my own plea earlier this year asking you to compile a Teri Garr collection was merely a drop in a great bucket of interest. This Is absolutely GREAT! Thank you, Mr Giller, for your painstaking work in putting this together and for your phenomenal Letterman channel.
I'm posting this comment under the first installment of this collection (rather than the 5th) in order to encourage folks to watch it--and watch all five parts, in as tight a time-frame as you can manage. Set aside time to see #5 when you won't be distracted. I myself finished the final installment a couple of days ago, and it was the culmination one of the most beautiful, devastating and profound documentaries I've ever seen. The way Don has sandwiched these Letterman spots between other media brilliantly frames Garr's Late Night appearances within the context of her skyrocketing rise to fame, her time at the top, the eventual fade of her star and the twilight of her career. More astonishingly, the collection chronicles a complex relationship between Garr and Letterman--professional, personal, passionate, sweet and sour. We see her grow into herself, evolve, struggle to break out of her carefully-constructed shell, and eventually find her own voice even as her body ultimately betrayed her. We see Letterman become infatuated and come to love her, only to have to say goodbye to the dream--the ideal--of Teri Garr and see her as a human being a who, in her frailty, found the strength she always sought. For my money, Giller has made something of a masterpiece here. Set aside some time and give this story the attention it deserves.
Wow. Though undeserved, thanks!
@@dongiller Completely deserved, Mr. Giller! The great documentations are those who get out of the way and let their subjects tell their own stories. You've really done it here--especially with that bizarre (almost gruesome) Carson clip at the very end. Gave me goosebumps! Well-chosen and very cleverly placed. It's just exemplary work!
Well, you’re just extremely kind. I was taken aback at how well-crafted your critique was, and I have to believe you write for a living.
I agree with you in everything, except that I don't think there was ever really anything but friendship between Dave and Teri. Aside from her genuine kindness, I would assess her as a great performer but very reserved deep-down.
@@joshportnoy8102 Yeah, Josh, in hindsight I think you're basically right. I may have overstated the depth of what happened between the two of them, maybe projected a little subtext onto the relationship that wasn't really as "there" as it seemed to be. But hell, can you blame me? Especially with two people who seem so uncomfortable in their own skins, unsettled in their personal lives, it's easy to imagine each fantasizing about the greener grass the other represented on the other side of their own personal fence. Still, if you watch the whole thing together, there's no way your mind won't be blown by the human drama of Garr's final appearance. It's just...stunning.
Love you Teri I wish you all the best.
I'm really surprised at how admirable, respectful and polite Dave was at the beginning. It was her care-free, whatever attitude that changed his approach to her.
Teri is so adorable. I always enjoyed her appearances with Dave. They had great chemistry.
Letterman was still finding his stride in these earliest interviews. Teri was already very much on her game. She is one funny lady!
Would you like a roll in za hay?.
Thanks so much. Fantastic segments that bring back so many memories.
Wonderful girl. Dazzlingly cute. Absolutely adorable.
So heartbreaking to see her going through such hard health issues.
Such a strong courageous woman.
God Bless you Terri Garr.
I absolutely adore Terri,…on many different levels.
When ever i need a lift I listen to these Teri Garr interviews.
Wonderful Teri Garr. Love it. Had a crush on her in these early years as a young teen - and she was my mom's age lol. Thanks Teri for being so genuine and upbeat and fun and REAL. Very refreshing.
I just so fell in love with her when I was 16 and a Letterman groupie. I would go after school to go see the show 3-4 days a week and it was a highlight whenever she was a guest.
Awesome!
Absolutely loved the show in it's ealry days. Back then I worked at Mcdonalds on the closing crew, and would get home just in time to watch the show. It was so great. Funniest thing around. Not so good in it's latest years, as Dave turned it into a bitter, politically based platform. Nothing like the old days though.
And Terry Garr! She made ya melt when when she came on...
@@billregan9160 i could hardly watch it in the later years.the last few weeks were good.but i hate to say this, He shoulda got out earlier, And enjoyed his life and son and beard grooming.and money )
Love the moment at 1:29:48 when she is genuinely embarrassed that she just sat down and relaxed as though she were a permanent guest. So relaxed already and as other comments say an integral part of this era of the show. Love these compilations, fabulous work.
Gotta love Teri Garr. Such a lovely person.
This compilations are trully great. A passage in time of the people, situations and instances that made this show such an important cultural event.
Congratulations
Thanks!
These are labors of love, you can tell. A great deal of care and thought was put into these compilations.
Thanks for this compilation Don.
Teri is indeed a treasure! David and the Band are incredible!
I have always loved Terri Garr when I first saw her in an episode of MASH kissing hawkeye. That was '74, then her career cintinued to grow. I am disheartened she is now disabled unable to do anything at all. I alwas enjoy these bittersweet segments.
This is great. Absolutely love Teri Garr. Always wished Teri and Dave were a real couple.
what would happen if both Julie Newman, Andrea jeager, chris evert qnd Ann Bacroft showed at at the same time Terris showed up at His private tennis court
Not me. I selfishly wanted Teri all to myself. She is such an incredible woman.
@@woodskier Are you saying that David Letterman dated all those women?
teri's the absolute best! i'm reliving my high school days, when i used to watch dave late at night. thank you!
I always loved Terri Garr.I wrote a song called Terri Garr after I saw the movie The Black Stallion on an old piano at my friend`s house in Alabama where we recorded.I`m going to re-record it after seeing this fine collectiion,thanks!
I am a old fan, if you follow this to the end you will cry
Natural comedic genius, zany and brainy, and oh yes a classic beauty. Thanks for this collection of Teri.
Don, this still remains the most cherished thing on RUclips. Just a pure joy, thanks for capturing!
Thank you, Don Giller. I've been wondering when you would post the Terri Garr collection. Wow- ~8 hours. I'm sure that took a while to compile. Here's to your scholarship and fortitude!
she was so radiant. and i am not talking just about her looks
Loved her. It’s so sad that she has MS and is in a wheelchair. I wish her all the best.
Definitely a dawning of something special here. It's awesome seeing her first appearances, and then they figure out what kind of relationship they would have in subsequent appearances. About the third episode, you can definitely see the dynamic emerge between the two, and it would just grow stronger.
Dave was right. Teri is stunning. She is one of THE most beautiful women I have ever seen. And so witty! She was a great foil for Letterman.
Teri Garr, David Letterman, Don Giller...National Treasures the lot of them!
I can't think of a funnier actress in the last 100 years. She always makes me laugh and she was supposed to win the Oscar for Tootsie.
wow. once you transcend beyond be her beauty the brilliance is at least ... humbling
My favorite actress. I think the whole world is/was in love with her
She seems like such a nice, Personable, Genuine person.
Tootsie: "It's very funny. Great idea. Going to be a big hit". Understatement of the century! :D
I've been anticipating this one... can't wait!! Greatest channel on RUclips!
Impossible not to smile watching them interact.
She was my favorite Letterman gues! Sweet, sweet woman!
Thank you Don for putting this collection together! I've had a great time watching through all five this week. Great lady, great relationship.
No one, I mean no one, bats an eye like Teri Garr...
You can NOT help but smile when she is on. One of the most beautiful ladies in all of show business. I would take one Teri Garr in exchange for all other female actresses. She is the epitome, in my opinion, of a woman. The thing I love about her is she gave as much as she took when sparring with Dave. And Dave in the early days was no easy interview. Clearly they had a little thing going on, maybe no physical, but they certainly had a mental connection happening.
My best wishes for her in her current health issues. Meet them head on Teri, for you can only depend on you.
I thought Meg was my favorite compilation but now it’s this! I spent the last few days watching all five parts and now I’m rewatching it again 😂 Thank you for all of your hard work!
I’ve never seen Dave so in love w a guest
Not at all even Teri Garr said it was all an act and she didn't talk to him off stage. He was totally into 20 year old interns...
He and Bonnie Hunt was good chemistry.
@@pepper1188 It was not an act. He was nuts for her from his radio days. Partaking of what you can get does not make it a preference over what you can't get. If Teri went for it there never would've been a couple of interns. The fact that I own a used Jeep from 2011 instead of a new Wrangler doesn't reflect a preference but rather what I have to settle for.
@@BrunetteOnTheCouch Read her book, she said it was an act and that she barely knew him and they didn't talk off set. I think he was being kind and had her on the show off and because he knew that she was ill.
Julia Roberts
Rewatching this for the second or maybe third time -- Dave mentions they covered the inventors expo in NYC a few years; I would love to see these episodes.
Wow, love her. Part of my growing up.
I've been waiting for you to do a compilation of Teri Garr on David Letterman for a long time. Thank you Don.
quite the conversationalist. brilliant. Knows how she comes across with every comeback.
Thank you for putting this collection together!
This is great! You must have put a lot of work into this. it is much appreciated
Thanks!!
It's all been said: breezy, charming, clever, and so, so easy on the eyes.
this showed up in my auto-play, but i'm sure i would've looked it up eventually. well done.
And if I may be so bold - what did you have for lunch today? Thank you! Go Trump!
Thanks, Don. Some of Dave’s funniest moments were with TG.
Dave and Teri always had very good chemistry together. I always looked forward to her appearances.
Amazing work, Don. Thank you!
Very cool compilation, they had a great comedic rapport. Thank you, Don Giller.
She. Is. Adorable.
When she rolled her eyes over Dr. Ruth's shoulder I screamed 😂
Thank you for this. Sh is my one since always.
I have a feeling that Phoebe from Friends was based on her, although very exaggerated, of course. What a lovely lady.
She’s so precious
thanks, Don G ❤️
The one I have been waiting for! Thank you Don..
One From The Heart was an excellent picture and the music was great
John Candy. You hear this buzzing, Then yelling, Breaking things and coming out with a bag of Wasps. LMAO. I miss him. He was such a sweet, Genuine guy.
Me, too. 💔
Bows to don giller 👏👏 .. i need to watch all these before WWIII starts
Pack your gear, we're shipping out at oh-five-hundred.
Just started watching, but... That bit when Shaffer comes over and steals her away was really funny (28:40)
Can’t wait to dig into this. Thanks Don!
Teri Garr... the ultimate Senior Prom date. Then. And now.
So, the very first appearance on Dave's show in 1982 is when she first started seeing signs of having MS, but it only became visible in 1990.
She wasn't diagnosed until 1999.
Man, oh man! Been waiting for this for a long time! Thank you, Don Giller!
Teri is just so damned adorable!
"Now, you're not steamed again, are you?" - Dave's motif throughout the interviews.
Thank you, Don!
"I think this next gal is swell/She rings the bell/She was in that last Coppola film that didn't do well." A reference to that spring's "One From The Heart," which really put Teri back some career-wise. Naturally the dig rolls right off her, and thus the tone is set for years to come.
Sounds like it came for the lyricist who wrote "Don't row your boat
Don't get your goat
That's all she wrote"
@@Bill_Woo My suspicion is it was that swingin' Canadian cat Paul Shaffer:
"It's raining men, every specimen/
Tall, blonde, dark and lean
/
Rough and tough and strong and mean."
@@billslocum9819 We'll agree to disagree over whether P.S. is swingin'. He's a competent bandleader and has memorized an expansive repertoire, but his little "ditties" are deeply lame to me (and I'm a serious musician), particularly in the lame lyrics - in my opinion :) And he's so feebly unfunny that I wish the show had just hired an actual funny sidekick like Andy Richter. Anyway, do you not recognize the lyrics I cited? It's from a swingin' movie score title track :)
Bill Slocum Thank you, Bill! You understand the Late Nite vibe. I always loved seeing Teri Garr’s visits, and Late Nite wouldn’t be Late Nite without that swingin’ cat Paul Shaffer and the band.
Teri Garr might just be the only person who has lived through the 80s without a single fashion faux pas.
She would look great in a potato sack.
9:28 - The first time I saw Teri Garr was in Star Trek - The Original Series. She played Miss Lincoln in "Assignment: Earth" :)
If you were to make a list of the top 10 things of the 1980s.... Teri Garr appearances on Letterman would be high on the list. It was American pop culture at its purest best.
