[rurmundo]

[yatah]

Lmao. He looks like one of the guy of the 'what is love' skit with Jim Carrey.

[noodlesmealey]

its mikes imaginogoriaum

[TheresPooOnMyShoe]

David Letterman's face when he said "Oh a series?" seemed like he was thinking, "yeah right buddy good luck with that."

[stewardo]

0:30 Why does Maggie have a full-toothed grin?

[boydman117]

@stewardo The reason maggie has a full-toothed grin is because it's old Simpsons.

[stewardo]

@boydman117 it was just an observation

[tuzoangi]

[wallstreetyoung]

And the rest is history

[ThePokeyPictures]

@99jackbutler after seth macfarlane and matt groening

[User323232]

Yikes... I guess sarcasm escapes a lot of people on YouTube.

[Tofu4Dinner]

Glad this jerk never did anything with his drawings

[andrewdude1]

oh a series? see how long that lasts....20 years later

[SIMPFANN]

Wow, I've never seen this before! As a huge Simpsons fan (hence my username), it's fascinating to see how such a now-legendary show was promoted when it was new.

Funny to see Matt looking so much younger..even his voice sounds a little different than it usually does in later interviews.

[Rorschach2710]

and then matt groening went colossally down in history

[minski76]

these strange yellow cartoons from the tracey ullmann show??? nah, that's not gonna work, I don't give them two months ;) (sad thing: I seriously doubt they'd survie their first season in today's TV-environment)

[Gamer1713]

@minski76 what do u mean theyre on their 21st season, its a very popular show.

[minski76]

they are popular because they created a loyal fanbase over the years. I seriously belive that if a show with that kind of subversive homor would start nowadays, most TV-executives would cancel it after the first inevitable waves of criticism from the usual keepers of morale.

[Gamer1713]

@minski76 ur retarded, they just created a show even cruder than the simpsons just a couple months ago and one a couple years ago, and theyre doing very well.

[drumsfouraliving]

South Park?

[titorambo]

your statement is denied by the exemple of "weeds". there are many more, but i'm not interested in bothering my mind right now.

[randomguy1774]

matt groening is my hero!

[carpenterpimpo]

wow they're voices are wierd and they're drawn really badly. the best of the simpsons was about 93 to 2006.

[drummy747]

hope this show does well :p

[undisputed4life]

@drummy747 I hope David Letterman doesn't rape his own employees.

[flandersfails]

POWERNERD

[asumbudee23]

Oh, and Matt Groening for President! :)

[asumbudee23]

How far he's come. It's so cool.

[btnh4lifeniggaz]

how can i download this?

[pepe7drum]

try the atube catcher

[musictube123321]

matt is so cool

[cultclassicthumbsup]

Funny how Conan went straight from writing for Matt's show to hosting Dave's show.

[TogaManBQ]

:34 always makes me die laughing

[slausd]

Crazy to hear the end where they talk about it going on and becoming a series. I'm sure neither thought it would go on to be the best show in history!!

[rhather]

He looks like Kevin Smith in that video

[sateliteoflove202]

Unreal. The Simpsons went on to become the biggest sitcom in TV history. Has Matt done any real mainstream press since?

[andersbarca]

Not much. But he went on the Daily Show a few years back.

[mrm4xim4m]

cool guy. and obviously very creative and talented indeed.

[hunyghan]

If it's not about car racing or dogs, then Dave couldn't give a fat rats.

[kolst8406]

This is actually December 1989.  The Simpson's Christmas show Dave refers to is actually the show's first episode.
