Almost three decades later and I'm still laughing my head off watching Brother Theodore's appearances on "Late Night with David Letterman." Too bad Letterman's show hasn't been as hilarious since his move to CBS. Obviously it's because almost all of his guests now are strictly mainstream.
The irony is how in the 80s the actor and the audience realized his conspiracy theories are a joke - now conspiracy theorists get the most hits on YouTube as purveyors of truth
@f33d4ward hm, I think it's more complicated than that. I believe what he's saying is 100% true it's just framed as a joke in a talk show format so as not to shock the jingos while at the same time getting his message across.
If you are too young to remember the 80's you probably think of Letterman as an annoying goofball but believe it or not there was a time when he was the best thing on television.
@limestoneroad Yes, next to The Young Ones or Kids In The Hall when they were still on HBO. He used to do weird, off beat stuff like drop appliances from tall buildings, and run over various household items with steam rollers, or put stuff under thousand pound presses. There's not even stupid people/stupid pet tricks anymore. Now it's just sit on your ass and do top ten lists.
Remember when they'd have funny guests on talk shows that weren't plugging some lame book or movie? Late nite TV was so great back then. Now they are just infomercials with live bands.
This guy is awesome! Kinda weird, I never really known anything about him until now. Feel kinda stupid for that. But I was just looking for the burbs without knowing the movie title, and realized this guy was in it. And that brought me over here. And he is just awesome!
@lionofthejungle Because people today are too petty and uptight to appreciate this type of raw humor. They'd rather watch feel-good crap like Adam Sandler.
This is the guy who voiced Gollum in The Hobbit so he has my full respect lol
He's kinda scary xD

I would love to know if those two talked after the show, if David complimented him on how brilliant he was.

Brother Theodore is absolutely brilliant at turning Dave's attempts to be funny back on him.

It's funny how the audience laughs and the truth is treated like a joke.
I guess the joke's on us.
