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’ve lost track of how many times I learned that some person of note died because this channel posted a video of their appearance on Late Night

    We don't have delightful, naughty late night conversations like this any more. It's a pity.

    The minute i saw this, i knew he had died. Letterman has literally interviewed everyone

    The famous Amis sentence. Can’t think of any writer - alive or dead - that was able to write an entire book of fabulous sentences. Consider : London Fields, The Information, Experience, Inside Story. With Martin Amis it was always a case of : Better get your Dictionary out. U knew U were going to be entertained (wonderfully) but also informed (usually about the underclass and the very rich) …. even dare I say it : Educated. The mark of a great book is anything worth re-reading again and again and again …. Amazingly …. Just about anything by Martin Amis
  • Martin is now throwing down a pint with Hitch in St Peter's Pearly Gates Pub.

    Gee I was wondering why this interview was on my feed and I'm learning he died 4 days ago. Saw nothing on the news. Loved his essays throughout the years.
