Welcome to the Letterman KZread 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.

If anyone's curious, the guest is Letitia Baldrige. Among other things, she was an advisor to Clare Booth Luce, ambassador to Italy. Fascinating woman.

How fortunate that Dave encountered an Italian ‘in the wild’ on a night when his guest happened to be fluent in Italian!
I was on the next version of Let’s Look for Swedes. If only The Donz could direct the forces that be to post it from Oct. 6, 1992.
Dave's looking for swedes, sees a pretty italian and changes the game name, so Dave :D
I remember watching this. Still funny. The genuine smiles plus silliness do more good for humanity than the world knows. I hope all the interviewees are all doing well with life.
"Her shots are up to date?"😂
“Let’s Look for Swedes” was originally a talk show bit from the 1930s, but they found that it didn’t play as well over the radio … and the outcome was far less comical once the Swede was located.
I miss this show!... It was the best!
I loved this time, late ‘80s/early ‘90s. Peak of my life & I didn’t even know it. Being a kid then was the best.

i used to enjoy watching David Letterman in the 90s even at 12 pm in the night
I saw this the night it aired; I spent junior high and high school in Omaha and thought, “Yep, those girls are definitely from Omaha.”

And if I remember right, it’s one of the states where the scandinavians immigrated, like MN, WI, NE, and the rest around there, and they still look Nordic (and Germanic, not just because of the hair but the faces too) despite probably being descendants thereof sooo 🤷🏻♀️

@@Cassxowary All true. About a quarter of the girls in my high school looked like those two.
Reminds me of the time I rode up a hotel elevator once that was full of a batch of beautiful, blonde, Swedish stewardesses.
Beefaroni!!! Perfecto prize 🏆 for the Italian tourist who has no idea what is going on.
I'm eating beefaroni right as I'm watching this! _Have a tooth ache and it was the easiest to eat right now._

We all know why Dave picked Daniella lol
This would still be a good late night comedy show bit today.
"That's alright, we're playing 'Let's Look for Italian's" LOL
You didn't find any swedes, but a swede found you.

Dave is such a horndog. She is gorgeous though
Dave sure knows how to pick winners 😂
Another fun segment. Love you Dave💋
This is the type of stuff I miss that Dave used to do. Today someone would probably accuse a show of being racist, homophobic, or sexist for doing bits like this. They’re funny! Almost any humor is going to offend SOMEone. That’s why it’s funny! It’s irreverent and unexpected.

not all Swedes have blonde hair and blue eyes -- but you can find some in northern Italy

Right, that's something Europeans don't understand or know..l had a friend he was blonde from north Italy looked like any Scandinavian. There're many blonde in middle east and Kurdistan as well. For example kurds have blonde, blue and green eyes but mixed in few hundred years with Arabs, turkish..when they attacked and moved to those places.. Anyway not only Europeans or Scandinavians are totally blonde, but many of them are because they don't mixed that much with another nationalities! Some Swedish have dark blonde hair and brown eyes! Scandinavian are more racist than Germany nowadays.. They have white power kind of movement and they demonstrating without shame on the street with police protection!! I just want to ad something on your comment, personally I'm spiritual l don't care what nationality, race... Because we all are one, no matter if you believe in that or not!!

La Guardia, incoming Minnesota flights. But, Swedes are known for being reclusive, or at least non-inclusive?
It wasn't hard to find Italians in NY. That's kind of like looking for Catholics in the Vatican.
