Can't get enough of that Larry "Bud" Melman!

I watched David Letterman back then. That type of practically improve comedy is timeless! RIP

Loved Larry melman

Love Larry "Bud" Melman (Calvert DeForest, RIP

I'm putting you down right here old friend, right next to the parakeets!" lol RIP Calvert.

He had perfect bad timing

He was great!

Bud Melman is a genius

UNBELIEVABLY FUNNY. I love comedians who focus on anti-humor like Neil Hamburger, but none of those guys can approach someone like Calvert DeForest, who's really not playing a role at all--just having some trouble loll. It's like Dave and the Late Night team decided not to let Calvert rehearse or even read his lines beforehand because they knew how naturally funny/charming the guy is when left to fend for himself on camera.

This was a great summary of the brilliance of the Calvert bits ... I write 12 years after it was posted. If Scooby Donkers is still roaming this Earthly plane, kudos.

Calvert having some trouble, yes. But also the quick wit of Dave to play off whatever mistake was made. A great team.

I met him in person @ Carnegie Hall back in '93 :)

Larry’s clumsiness is what kept him on the show

Fun and indormative., shared to Nacho Pesos personal user Facebook account today. Late 1980s I'd begun years of 2nd shift work.

Back when Letterman was actually funny ! Larry was a great character.

tbh dave himself was never funny. he would just stare into the camera or roll his tongue in his mouth to give the audience the cue to laugh.

Man I miss Larry/Calvert. The show sucks without him

Hey G-Man, help yourself to the chopped beef!

"Ohhhhhh! Only FOUR now!"

HAHAHAHAA....ISN'T THIS AN AMAZING ALLUSION HAHAHAHAHA

"i'll be up in the attic with my guns." nice.

I don't agree with David's political views, however he's is the best late night host second only to Johnny Carson for with and ability to make magic out of anything. Larry "Bud" Melman, RULES!!!!!

God this is hilarious!

Was Larry's stuff up deliberate? It's hilarious

shouldn't there be more views? a classic!

'I'll be up in the attic with my guns. That's what freedom is all about' Boy, does that sound like 2020, or what? :/

Haha...it sure does. We couldn't imagine back then that the Larry Bud Melman's of the world would be in control in 30 years.

Chris Elliot and Larry "Bud" Melman were comedy geniuses on a equal footing. But Chris had to work 24 /7 to get his bits right while Larry was pretty much a natural.

2:13 - 2:20 very funny!

Larry went well with pot...so did Dave

Did he tell Dave to "Go to Hell" at the end??

Wheres daves sixth button

division...he WAS the second best. But no one that watched Late Night could POSSIBLY be happy with the garbage that Dave has put out for hte last 10+ years. The stuff he begs for laughs with now are the kind of things that he would mock his LAte Night audience for laughing at. ("You people are just STARVED for entertainment" was a common line Dave would say when the audience laughed at crap.) Will it Float is not comedy. Nor does anyone want a "Ventriloquist Week" in the 21st Century.
