Re: Actor-Signer Incident on David Letterman (1980s)

[iChesus]

if anyone reads bill carter's book about the conan vs leno debacle, all your presumptions about what a lowest-common-denominator schmuck leno is will be completely CONFIRMED

[aliwant2do]

do these people really think they are better than us cause they are on TV? Im so glad I dont watch tv...

[simonwedege]

@aliwant2do Yet you're watching YouTube? That's even worse than regular tv :-D

[kentonlarsen]

Classic bit!

[RealDefentertainment]

the only Time i`ve actually seen Paul being funny

[jettadude736]

How many Actor-Singer deaths did Dave do?

[chickenringNYC]

I love how Dave is always cooly removed from the skits he does, even as he delights in pulling them off. As soon as Paul starts going nuts he has a seat, crosses his leg, and enjoys Paul's goofy freak out.

[AccordionManiac]

LOL, "That's like killing FOUR people!"

[ickymicky]

Im so old, I can actually remember when David Letterman was funny.

[unamuno42]

steve martin is not an actor singer. He is a book writer, banjo player, and Egyptologist. Do your research man! my god, its like any yokel with a computer is just allowed to comment on a youtube video.

[EldritchMask]

Didn't "Paul" have any hair?

Cheers.

[vai82]

those letters existed? it's like email spam!

[curb1510]

Paul emoting. Brilliant.

[rawoctopus]

that's NOT steve martin is the guy who plays FLUNKY THE CLOWN

[metatronius]

Steve Martin is the actor singer.

[rawoctopus]

that's flunky the clown!!!!!!!!

[ItsDuckSandwichFilms]

the music is awesome. that bass line is so cool

[LaJaDiSc]

"We've killed 2 actor singers, that's like killing 4 people!"

[zickey100]

Was that Taylor Hicks?

[LimonSebon]

Wait, doesn't this bit make Paul an actor/musician?!?!?

[pac401]

I loved dave's old wrestling sneakers.

[gggu]

"Damn this network; budget!"

[DaftSwank]

I'm telling you man -- Letterman's Late Night show on NBC was so much more cutting edge than what he's doing on CBS now . . .

[lionofthejungle]

Well, he's a lot older and frailer. But he still does it better than Leno by a LONG shot.

[DaftSwank]

Yeah, you're absolutely right . . . But I miss "Stupid Human Tricks", Dave in wacky suits being dipped in stuff, and especially the "Late Night Film Festival" he hosted . . .

[roquefortfiles]

Couldn't agree more. I hate Leno. Middle America Crap. Dave has edge and balls still

[coffeecat73]

Leno is much wittier than Letterman. Letterman is just weird. He thinks name your cuts of smoke meats and will it float? is funny. Everytime Leno was on, he killed it and Dave just sat there like the humorless moron he is, not knowing what to do. Thats why Dave hates Jay now, cuz he couldn't hang with Leno when Leno was a guest. Letterman shouldve retired 15 years ago. Leno may not be as funny as he once was but he's still allright.

[roquefortfiles]

Thats your opinion. I actually used to really like Jay. He was very edgy and funny. I simply cant watch him now because his act is so watered down and middle America crap. He reminds me of a host from Americas funniest home videos. I want to vomit half the time i watch him. His humor is so safe and pedestrian now. Weird or not Dave has a thousand times the wit that Jay will ever have. He is simply a brighter guy. You gotta be smart for comedy.

[Lennon4life1968]

Amen Roquefortfiles...amen!

[agent385]

@roquefortfiles define "edgy"

[roquefortfiles]

@agent385 Mmmm. More cutting!! A tad cruel!! (and cruel because its true!) Not sucky ass middle America crap that only conservatives approve of or understand!!. I HATE LENO!! He used to be a funny guy and i respect for him back when he used come on Dave's show in the mid 80's. Then he got Tonight and became this safe, lamo watered down comic. Though Dave is not as hungry as he used to be he smarter and delivers better. You gotta be smart to do comedy!!

[KWilhelmII]

lol at anyone thinking ole pelican chin is witty. nice to see your hero couldn't retire gracefully but had to steal conan's job. you must be proud

[John6yt]

@KWilhelmII Well said. It's amazing how many Leno fans trash Dave for the most trivial reasons, yet act as if Jay can do no wrong

[TheAdamStabelli1]

@John6yt I know. Jay fans make me sick.

[roquefortfiles]

@TheAdamStabelli1 Jay is so fucking lame!!! Total sell out to Mid America!!

[AfroSchmuck]

@roquefortfiles Disgusting. This peice of trash would still live with mother had it not been for you servitude.

[KWilhelmII]

@AfroSchmuck lol "peice of trash" and "you servitude", try learning spelling and grammer and you won't come off as the total moron you are lol

[AfroSchmuck]

@KWilhelmII Typos can fixed with a click of a button, your leader can't be.

[zipzap73]

Hey, what happened to the original?

[MagicAlDF]

"Actually, I'm an actor-singer."

"Why can't they afford girders!"

I loved this stuff. I miss the old show's writing.

[gmonday]

this is why paul stays with the band now

[Qermaq]

Are you kidding? This was part of what made the show great!

[bleedingicon]

No one can doubt Paul's comedic ability. have you not seen Spinal Tap for god's sakes?!

[gugumumu]

roflmao paul screaming
