[hardcanard]

anyone know why Will Lee wasn't in the band?

In This Clip, From 0:00 To 3:05, It Was Late Night With David Letterman Video Open From June 25, 1993.

Hahaa, Tom Hanks? Man he shows up at every 'last show' in late night doesn't he? That's pretty cool.

[aido2002]

On the January 18, 2010 edition of the Late Show, Dave said, "'Theyre saying now and we dont know this officially but theyre saying that Conan OBriens last show as the NBC host of the NBC Tonight Show will be Friday. And I was thinking, You know, if CBS had a sense of humor, theyd send a guy out here right now to fire me.''

He's recycling jokes from sixteen years ago.

[LetThatChildAlone]

@aido2002 So? Comedians run out of shit sometimes.

[washcloud]

...you mean you totally failed to see that he was paying tribute to his own '93 joke?

Are you by any chance employed at the NBC?

[aido2002]

Okay, you two, I was pointing out the fact that he did pay tribute to it that way.

Any chance you write for Jay Leno?

[washcloud]

..."recycling" and "paying tribute" sound kinda contradictory to me however.

[aido2002]

Like I said, you sound like you write for Leno.

[aido2002]

Everyone gather around! Flame war! It's a good 'ol fashioned flame war everyone! Taking all bets!

[jayrobson88]

@aido2002 Not as bad as Leno. On teh jay leno show first night late night wars started he said NBC stands for Never believe your contract: the same joke he made in 93 that was actually in that Late Shift movie.

[stopthemadness1]

Conan and Dave - forever bonded.

[X5Str1ker]

Conan made the employe of the month joke too. Funny Carson, Dave and now Conan.

@X5Str1ker

Great late night minds think alike

[badtown88]

Letterman was so much better back then. I can't even watch him anymore.

[prowlie]

then maybe its you thats changed...

dave is still dave

[badtown88]

Give me a break. If you can't acknowledge that Letterman has lost his edge, you're blind.

[AdamStabelli777]

Dave is my idol for a reason. He's damn awesome.

[Baldeagle79]

Dave stole the employee of the month joke from Carson... he said GE named him employee of the month on his last show... no biggie. Dave is a great talent, although I wish he weren't so political lately.

[thundermik]

great intro

[blik879]

I thought that Cheers was 1990. It didn't look like '93 Cheers to me. Nice.

[TimmyTickle]

Fun fact: The cold opening with the cast of Cheers was taken from the Late Night 8th Anniversary Special in 1990.
