Welcome to the Letterman YouTube Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show - as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. These highlights have been artisanally-produced, carefully-curated, and chosen completely at random by an old computer that used to pick numbers for the New York Lotto back in the 90’s.

Wow, I didn't realize how nervous Jimmy was in early years.

Dave was the best! Got me through high school in the late 80’s. Crazy that Jimmy actually got the show that Dave and Conan both wanted.

Thanks to Strike Force Five ⚡, I now know Jimmy did infact get all fixed up for the show. He hired a stylist and that outfit was super expensive. Just because of the name on the tag. Letterman just sees a T-shirt and jeans. Just goes to show you, sometimes you really are just paying for name.

This is the most time Fallon ever spent on camera without laughing.

Jimmy Fallon was the Pete Davidson in its era

[trekkiejunk]

When he first got SNL, a lot of people asked, "How did he get this show?" Then he got Late Night (Dave's old show), and a lot more people asked, "How did he get this show?" Then he got The Tonight Show, and even more people asked, "How did he get this show?" To many of us, Jimmy Fallon's entire career is a conundrum.

Looking forward to seeing Paul and the band on the Tonight Show!

[frk]

imagine someone telling you in 1999 'this guy is gonna have his own late looks like a 14yo on a sugar rush, LOL

[JackSilbert]

Very nice touch, with Paul and the band on Fallon tonight, thanks!

Was Dave a little mad there at the end after his physical comedy bit? It was funny

[michaelrmurphy]

Its so funny to see Jimmy as a sweet kid. Now HE has the show himself! And he's STILL young! Only in his forties!

[thegreyhound]

Of all the Jimmies, he’s one of them. He can go tussle Trumps hair.

[shawnuel]

Irony: Letterman says “They don’t just give these show to chimps” which, Fallon disproves a mere 8 or 9 years later.

Does anybody remember when Jimmy did an Adam Sandler impression in front of an audience and suddenly Adam pops up on a large screen to confront him? I vaguely remember it being the early 2000's and may have been during an awards show. Adam pretended to cry and screamed something like, "THATS WHAT YOU THINK OF ME?!" I can't find a clip of it anywhere on the internet. Maybe I was so high back then and imagined it all but if anybody else remembers this please tell me where I can find a clip!

It's good to see Lonnie Donegan as a guest on Dave's show.

[Koodayengine]

I had to check my playback speed was not on 1.5 is this real

[aaronburratwood.]

It seems like this wasn’t really that long ago until I looked at the date. Memories…

[danvickers]

2:28 is David letterman not wearing shoes?

[john_dont]

"And Lorne, of course, full of white wine" 2:14

Wow, Dave was grilling him! But Fallon stepped up to the plate! Dave was impressed and even invited him back. Jimmy even got to guest host Dave show when he was recovering from bypass surgery.
