A Letterman episode from 37 years ago has more truth than today's news media

[SirVic]

For those that don't remember Joe's '87 gaffe - he made a speech about his blue-collar roots, as he had been doing for 15+ years, but this time it was a speech lifted from a UK parliament member who grew up in a coalmining family. Joe didn't even realize he wasn't giving the same speech he had been giving for years, and a staffer was blamed for "accidentally" inserting the portion of someone else's speech into Joe's standard stump speech.

2. "The Golden Bachelor" is on TV now and a man has just so much time
3. Decided to run for presidency of the hospice ward
4. Finally got tickets for Dead & Co. at the Sphere
5. Couldn't pronounce any words
6. His political access business is really taking off
7. Realized he didn't have a chance against the Pelosi juggernaut
8. He accidentally agreed to a debate
9. Plans to spend more time with his imaginary sober relatives
10. To promote his new album "The Tortured Poets Department"

The real highlight here is Biff walking out with the garbage can full of the empties.

"Realized he didn't have a chance against the Gephardt Juggernaut" this can't be more accurate!!

Shows like Late Night need to be taught to kids in social studies classes. This was American culture.

For a second there, I thought someone used AI to clone David Letterman's voice and make a Top 10 list for the present day. Since he reads the lines off-screen, you wouldn't have to lip-sync the video to whatever he was saying.

37 years later and still better than anything I'm going to see at 11:30pm tonight on the subject.

[windsorkid]

Damn I miss that show. Thankfully we've got this channel to take us back.

[Zigidy]

This channel is killing it. That was fast.

[sixtieskid]

Literally 37 years later, same thing.😆

As Tom Leher once sang, "Plagiaze! Let no one else's work evade your eyes."

[johncornell]

Television will never be the same. Amazing how this happened 37 years ago. Thanks Dave!

[teeveeparty]

Wow!! You guys have been sitting on this the whole time. Just biding your time, waiting. Hahaha!!

[jedijones]

Ah, the Dancing Waters and the Thrill Cam! This was MY era of Dave! When I fell in love with his show. Wish I could see every 1987 episode.

[frmaggi]

I miss the absolute frivolity of all the stunts.

[christiansellers]

Nearly 40 years later and all of these are accurate

[jeffreywalton]

Classic Letterman. Classic Late Night. Thank you for posting this.

And then it became Dukakis v H.W. Bush….
