The Letterman Jacket
Thanks to a heads-up from Eric Boardman, he let me know about a remarkable collection of videos on YouTube from a fellow named Don Giller. Over the decades, Giller recorded pretty much all the episodes of Late Night with David Letterman, and has uploaded about 1,200 clips, comprising full shows, individual appearances, musical numbers and collections that's he's cataloged. I have to believe they're authorized because you don't hide 1,200 video clips.
It's a remarkable archive of TV and cultural history, and I'm going to post a bunch of them. We'll see how long this goes on.
To start with, we'll go with a full show from 1984, this is their 2nd Anniversary Special, since the conglomeration not only gives a wonderful look at the show in its earliest year (after all, being the 2nd anniversary, that means all the clips come from the first season), but also provides a good idea of the talent and lunacy to come.
