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.

Its ironic that we're now watching this on Letterman's YouTube channel.
-
Dave and Bill should resume this chat and reflect what they chat in 1995.
-
It’s crazy how this was only 28 years ago. Back then you’d experience the internet to take a few mins off of our REAL lives. Today we take a few mins off the internet, to LIVE our real lives.
-
7:12 and here we are...
-
Incredible how we lived on a completely different planet 26 years ago. First half of my life was in another world compared with the second half.
-
Dave: “So you can listen to a baseball game on your computer. Does radio ring a bell?” Bill: “Well Dave, in 27 years you’ll publish this video clip on YouTube.”
-
I love when Dave asks where do you think this will go. And Bills final thought is "eventually we wanna make computers think". He was spot on with AI now here.
-
Letterman listed a million devices to counter what you can do on a computer, without realising he was effectively proving you'll be able to trim those all down to one device.
-
"Computer at every desk & every home!" Mission accomplished!!!
-
Amazing how much changed within 10 years of this being recorded. From questioning why the internet is better than a radio, to Youtube launching less than 10 years later.
-
such a classic interview I hope this never gets lost in time
-
"The problem is you have too many assistants." Could not have known how right he was.
-
“Troubled loner chat room” is the internet.
-
“You could find other people who have the same unusual interests as you do” is the perfect description
-
This guy just showed the difference between those with vision and those who will be always stuck in the past.
-
90's kids know what life was life before the internet.
-
Im with Dave, that internet thing isnt going anywhere.
-
Bill’s answer to “why don’t I have a computer?” was just brilliant
-
26 years later and now we've got Chat GPT
-
7:12 "Eventually we may figure out how to make the computer think but that turns out to be a very tough problem. In fact there's been almost no progress." It's even more fascinating to listen to this in the age of public AI generators.
