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.

We all have this friend
This is great. Also love it being Thursday
Paul is decidedly unimpressed. He even turns his back in disgust.
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Would love if you guys started posting these old “viewer mails” everyday!
"Danitra Vance just got another job." – The most amazing throwaway line in comedy history.
Dave: "Can you hand me an adjustable wrench"? Paul: grabs tire iron
Dave looked good in those jeans!
Chris was the best character in schitts creek. He's just a fecking funny person.. Without trying too hard…
In 87 I know I was watching. Love Chris and Dave together, comedy gold I tell ya!
I actually checked imdb. Chis Elliot actually was in an episode of Miami Vice. Episode was called "Down for the Count: Part II"
Paul was FANTASTIC!!!
What odd timing – one of the retro TV channels that I watch actually had the episode of Miami Vice that Chris Elliot was on the day before this clip was posted.
Chris Elliott is a National Treasure. He should be on friggin’ currency.
oh yeah! Late Night….87!
Ahh the 80's..reminds me, i got to pick up some mousse!
Chris should have had this hairstyle on Schitt's Creek.
NBC Letterman was the greatest. CBS Letterman was the downward slide. WOKE Letterman today is insufferable.
The best was Chris in "Manhunter" ruining the tension of a serious meeting.
When I think of how my sense of humor was developed, several things come to mind; my dad, the Far Side comic, Monty Python, Weird Al, and Chris Elliot on David Letterman. Love Dave, but there was something about Chris!
