[xThaCardCollectoRx]

i thought it was going to be from atop of the building

[MrKBnyc03]

If you press 6 on your keyboard over and over, its pretty cool, also if you press 1-9 you can use it as a mini drum kit.

[3210410]

[MARDLAMOCK]

[Enderschoice]

Apparently, Letterman bought the act from Mister Moose and adapted it for a Wimbledon-loving audience.

[wossamaggiga]

Wow I didn't expect it to look that cool

[therealgam32]

all the people are holding balls ;D

[ravi2202]

did anyone notice when Paul said "you cannot be serious!" he was making a reference to famous tennis player john mcenroe who once yelled that at an chair judge?

[dewutube2]

wow love it

[3KEezy]

omg thats amazing lol

[Kedchup]

ITS OVER 5000

[aeroman4life]

I want to try and run through them now.

[hishomie1]

I counted 5.

[Jorickhoofd]

Just because we can

[megarouge2001]

Superballs would have been funnier.

[ExtremeCoastalHiker2]

Does anyone know if there is a video of the scene in which Letterman uses a hydraulic press to compress things like bars of soap, oscillating fans and pool balls?

[rg6025]

"5000 tennis balls....shot from high powered cannons at the audience. " lmao!!!

[TalentedFilms]

i love the sound it makes when all the balls hit the ground

[ELhazo]

[Pruffeel]

Now it's time to play 5000 pick-up!

[emericanhobo]

Pause it a :40, and it looks like a tree.

[gspott2]

[vinkie35]

[jmburla]

[dknights411]

There is no point. That's why its so great!!!

[EU342234]

your pathetic

[ES7upyours]

someone should have stood there! 0:40

[sevatri]

WOW.....!DAVID letterman show is just getting cooler and cooler ha?

[NiTr091]

hey its a slip n slide

[metalheadmania777]

picture the janitor coming out with his mop after the show and like walking around the corner to see those, he like drops the mop and goes, aw what the fuck.

[DeGarmo2]

They should have had someone stand underneath it or lay down underneath it when it dropped. haha

[DeGarmo2]

They should had someone stand or lay underneath it as it dropped... haha

[shadey788]

no way was that 5000

[extyex]

Id hate to clean that up.

[dodgedart74]

tennisball fail. they didnt bounce

[CAMibus420]

that was only 4, 995 teenis balls dave

80 percent of all theft is internal

fire that bald guy with the tanning shades

[kroepo]

That one ball is really bouncing when everyone's rolling

[shawn114483]

payse it when they are in the air cool

[mariotaz]

....................

[HipH0Pe]

Wow the sound it makes is awesome :o

[6shades]

I think the piont of the stunt was so that he could make fun of it and tell jokes. they just used that for him to do what he does best. make jokes or make fun.

[WorthyVideos]

0:40 is all

[chefawkes]

letterman always has the lamest stunts

[MuzicRUs]

pause at 0:40 looks like a shitload of lemons lol

[gunmanvb2]

wat was the point of this?

[GuitarTeacherACDC]

AHHAHAHA

[grem700]

@BJZnRPZ so amateur dude

[yellow242]

@BJZnRPZ very funny asshole

[refusedchad]

Letterman used to just drop random shit off the roof ALL the time

[asdfbim]

I miss those days...

[frailwings100]

that was so random lol

[tricky9981]

i wouldve stood under the dropping balls; it wouldve been cooler

[nickeeeeeeeeee]

i wanna grab a boogie board and just like dive on it ahahaa youd like slide around

[lucicara]

COOL!!!

[zidanetribal00042]

lol, if you say so ^^

[TheShadow2012]

pause it at 40 and it looks like a lemon

[spleeeeeen2]

Pause it at 0:40!

[Pam4Water]

That was anti-climatic. They all got in each others way so there wasn't much bouncing. And it needed slow-mo.

[Jun9ZeroSeven]

Go Letterman, Balls didn't work very well. Maybe more spacing, look like they all just hit each other and rolled away instead of bouncing over and over again.

[hawkteflon]

Ha ha ha! That was amazing!

[terry1919]

was he reliving some memory from Captain Kangaroo???

[Dodsay]

New balls please

[aktornado]

One of those things that sounds a lot cooler than it actualy was.

[nncoco]

I wonder what my dog would do if she saw that?

[wbsouth]

One guy is right. One ball, then a few others, all through out the show would have been great.

[allocated]

he should have dropped it from the room of some building, like he usually does. That would make it much more exciting and long lasting

[Haynkekai00]

WOW! Amazing

[eim9]

Do superballs next.

[xinfinity62]

what was the point of that...

[peabert]

Love Letterman, Best shows are without red head and when he had Biff touring. Hate the fake acting but love it when he interviews.

[omfgomfgomfg17]

simply fantastic

[Cayana]

Yeah it was pretty un-spectacular. It didn't seem like 5,000 tennis balls. I was expecting a deluge of tennis balls but that seemed more like a drizzle..

[videoeditingmike]

Thanks CBS for having a YouTube channel. Since my DirecTV dish cannot tune in CBS, this is as close as I can get.

Hey Mr. CBS, by the way, maybe you can help my local affiliate WFSB allow me to subscribe to the CBS feed on DirecTV, which they claim I cannot do because I can get their signal via a rooftop antenna. Seriously who has a rooftop antenna?

[fopstra]

yeahhhhhh

[diebitchesofscum]

i always wondered what 5000 falling tennis balls would look like...

[ucmd11]

yeah, not too exciting...I like the one where he releases feathers into a giant fan a lot better.

[gspm]

I'll take it as 5000. Doesn't look like 500 to me. A bunch left the stage, of course.

[bssilva]

I liked. It's not every day that you see 5000 tennis balls been droped at once.

I think interesting.

:)

[QuasiEvilScott]

I would think that Steven Colbert would be a little envious that Dave has more balls than he. Might see a good ol' fashion "ball off"

-Qes

[hercegov]

Well if it is like he says 750 pounds of tennis balls then it's more then 5,000 balls. One tennis ball weights in at about 57 grams. Now do the math 57 grams x 5,000 = 285,000 grams (1000 grams is 1 kilogram, 1 kilogram is 2.2 pounds) so 285,000/1000=285 kilograms. So 285x2.2=627 pounds So 5,000 tennis balls would be 627 pounds and not 750 which means there must be more then 5,000 balls in there when it look like there isn't even 500 of em.

[lowrider1971]

the best part of this was that Opie and Anthony almost tripped through these coming on stage afterwards. O and A party rock!

[RandyMacKlassen]

Sounded and looked soooo cool. Made the most wicked sound. Haha, this is great.

[shawn3516]

better than that big chin dumb ass jay leno. letterman is a legend

[otterbou]

he said 750lb worth of tennis ball

[CroatFutbol]

hehe cool

[stevemv69]

wow, cheap tv at its best. the opposite of spectacular it truly is

[KhaineDarkhart]

its good to see cbs isnt retaarded like nbc is with their stuff =P

[jz33040]

WEll I'll say one thing.. That took a lot of balls!

[wolferased]

It looks like 5000 not 500.

You saw only 1 side of the drop because it fell on the audience too.

[mavaddatastic]

Notice the perfectly Gaussian distribution of the tennis balls as they fall. For a physicist, this would be interesting.

[porterhouse]

It is interesting TO SEE how many people are willing to post on here and show that they can't spell OR punctuate. Dave, much like Carson, IS FREQUENTLY funnier when he bombs. ---- Please note these corrections, bweathe. It is improper to separate a noun and a verb in the manner that you did. Also, please avoid using incomplete sentences during rants about the scandalous use of improper grammar.

[paulwall08]

pointlessly cool. that should have been "bring your dog to the show" episode too.

[MattiasBOTD]

Shoulda been bouncy balls

[gaudiofan]

looks more like 500 than 5000

[DesiMC]

a lottttttttttt of balls

[irvine14]

you guys need an HD tv. honestly.

[ncaauwe]

"Craptacular"

[Algorhythmiq]

For better or worse... only in America.

[swiftbug06]

Why do people trashbag this kinda thing so much here on youtube? It's a unique thing & some promotional dude from CBS has been kind enough to upload the footage. The title is pretty clear so if your not interested don't watch it. Simple as that.

[zerdda]

Now - a few at a time - with good comedic timing - we might have been roflmho!

[iamloudmusic]

If they were somehow fired at the floor of the stage from the area they were dropped somewhat rappidly and angled into the crowd, could have been cool.

[Furnifur]

I'm so glad to have found CBS's YT channel...I love Dave Letterman...Thx

[bweathe]

It is interesting how many people are willing to post on here and show that they can't spell and punctuate. Dave, much like Carson, frequently is funnier when he bombs.

[Eckyhade]

Dumb and pointless but he truly knows how to spell piece and machinery.

[jamesg25]

a trully, classically, dumb and pointless thing to do... the guy who thought of that idea deserves to be whacked over the head with with a peice of heavy machinary

[drunkenpuyo]

hmmm that doesnt look like 5000 to me :)

[bpgalway]

I would say the opposite of spectacular would be unimpressive, as that ended up being. Better on paper I guess.

[Milter]

That's a lot of tennis balls
