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. The language may strike you as quaint & flowery, the clothing comically lacey & ornate — but that’s how things were back in this colorful and now bygone era.

Hi Dave!
As a Canadian who hadn't known anything but milk from bags until his late teens, I have to say…. I hate milk.
Every time I've done wrong in life, my standard response is, "I'm on a mission from Dave."
Every time you guys post a video with a celeb's name, I Google them to see if they are OK. It's exhausting!
Miss Dave!
Those. Kids. Are. Nearly. Fifty.
Drinking juice from a box? Good heavens!
Man, i love Dave
You need to check the airdate – June 19th – to get that first joke.
Only 980? Won’t somebody think of the four children drinking milk from a suitcase …
RIP Neil
Meh
Letter number 4 , from Neil and Anne from Lexington KY. I hope you took Dave's advice, and you changed your ways, and you began telling the truth.
Grew up in Ontario, Canada and milk in bags was what I was raised on.
Those kids need to do a Barbara Gaines show. edited to add "Please"
Dave with a full head of hair (on his scalp) — and Paul, too. Almost forgot about that look.
This is pretty funny. Also, Chris was very scary during this particular Viewer Mail bit. That psychotic page is dangerous.
This is back when Dave's hair was real big, and there was only half a band.
June 19th 1983 airdate… now the first joke induces massive laughter from the 2023 audience. Notice no mention of Juneteenth in 1983.
Circa 1982 I believe
Thank Merrill Markoe for the combination of weird, crazy and hilarious that this show was.
They got the milk in bags joke wrong. The kids should have been drinking out of bottles in paper bags like a bunch of subway winos.
Date of show has to be wrong…
June 19th 1983 was a Sunday
I think these LATE NIGHT shows were taped at 6 or 7 pm earlier that evening, but they have the feel of a show actually performed at 12:30 am in a half empty studio with some of the lighting turned off.
Paul handles death quite professtionally.
Three acts of pencil vandalism right at the end, yesterday, with a promise their was going to be something nice to buy from the ads coming right up. Like I said, a day later and still no ads, still nothing nice to choose from to buy. The he'll with Boy George.
