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.

I enjoyed his work in '9 to 5' and 'Tootsie.'
50 years later we still finding celebrities to debate our condition
he looks like Dabney Coleman
Gordon was a legend, He was a badass
Here, at Gush Katif
I saw that show Gaslit, And I thought there's no way Gordon Liddy was a real person, He was nuts lol
G. Gordon Liddy was incredibly smart, but with that intelligence came some serious sociopathic/psychopathic traits. A guy I'd absolutely want at my side in a fight or an immediate subordinate in a reporting structure; but someone that otherwise I'd try to stay at least two or three states away from if possible.
"were you frightened in prison?"
Not after eating the big one's left haunch, I assume.
Interesting…
I just watched The Whitehouse Plumbers last night. Good
This was unexpected. He maybe the first person on Letterman from my high school textbook
Conservatives sure do find it easy to betray the USA.
this is amazing. Way to go dave – advertising the existence of biohacking substances.
Prolly sure Colby's meeting about Hanoi's POWs was before Nixon's statement he was gonna open up a meet n greet with Mao in China… since we knew China was helping being guns n hell to Senator Mcain….it kinda worked out this way. Now we got the most disgusting display of bizarre bad actors I can't even watch the movie – dammit man.
What a trip
G. Gordon Liddy, is the one person from the 70's that gave me my first ''Leather Daddy'' vibe. like he has a basement full of S&M gear and a gimp ready to serve your needs. LOL
Liddy was quite a character and could be very charming and entertaining, but in the end, he was nothing but a sociopathic, fascism-admiring thug with delusions of grandeur who helped damage this country immensely…we're still living with the after-effects of all the crimes the Nixon White House committed to this very day.
The fact that he became a celebrity and a sought-after member of the media in his later years says a lot about this country, none of it good.
Very fascinating guest. Thanks Dave
The CIA attracts people like this..
Ahhh Gordon Liddy. He and Ollie North have the distinct honor of being criminals with the excuse that a President told them to do it, who then became heros of the Republican party and television personalities. America is a weird fn place.
an immortal pos
Fan request-any Gordon Lightfoot?
Justin Theroux was born to play this guy. Christ what a loon.
———————— Dave couldn't be any more polite…..except he completely forgot to read Gordon his Miranda rights prior to questioning…..
Well, that's an interview that none of the current late night guys can get away with. Wow!
My three heroes, two present and one Tim talked about. I remember this episode. Thank you.
Impressive man, faults and all.
Good guest too!
Liddy had a honest good point at the end. Like it or not truth
I LOVED G. Gordan LIDDY… R.I.P.!!!
not right away…
but later on the show Gordo morphed into what seemed to be a Richard Nixon way of conversing…
reminding me of the Forrest Gump scene :
"oh no… we have a much better place for you to stay"
If I had a talk show, these are some of the first types of people I would invite on.
This was a strong interview performance from Dave, considering he had only been at the Late Night desk for four months. I am impressed.
The day Liddy died the world was a better place. Good riddance to him and other Nixon maggots.
What a weirdo.
Liddy did a number of talk shows in the 80s and 90s, and I've read he was regarded as the rudest guest across the board
Used to enjoy his radio show back in the day. Always interesting, always intelligent, always flawed.
This certainly aged well and how appropriate for the newly convicted for seditious activities against the current government.
G. Gordon was one of those far-right people whose views are horrifying, but who have so much intelligence and personality that you can't help but enjoy watching them.
