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 artisanly-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.

He's right, this internet this is never gonna take off.

[lowmax]

The fact that we are watching this clip on the internet is the ultimate irony

[JayRock]

Looking forward to checking out this "Internet" thing.

"It is easy to criticise a thing you don't understand."

Understanding THAT is a mark of a wise man!

[deceio]

Is that thing we're all addicted to now.

[TheRealMrMagic]

It's amazing to see what the internet has grown into since just listening to a ball game.

[elpukka]

Dave always had this aura of know it allness

[richardgrayson]

Radio? I've heard the word. Vaguely.

[ChicagoFightSox]

A baseball game on the radio has a 200 mile reach, at best.

[jaremaw]

Internet - the government plugin in your house.

[ilmasai]

After 30 years
"What's NO internet exactly?"

[MLABCD]

I wish it never went farther than that.

[jordancieslik]

Mark my words, this internet thing is never gonna catch on

[cactustree]

Married to a computer engineer, I was involved with microcomputers in the early days. I remember this interview fondly.

[beepst]

You can send electronic mails? That’s wild.

[DylansPen]

And we all had never heard of this beard thing Dave.

[micko]

And we just thought Huh ! And kept going through out simple no media lives.

[Saybleu]

God I miss Letterman’s show. The G.O.A.T.

[balajisrinivasan]

The way he said “sure” felt more like “uh oh, he’s asking me about something I couldn’t steal and profit on and have no clue about”

[abheerrazdan]

Bills passion for technology and being visionary is what has transformed him into today
