I don't agree with Jerry on why you do it... Yes making people happy is part of it but a lot of it is egocentric, with many facets that are to do with one's own self satisfaction.. some of those qualities are positive and others that are not so healthy.

Letterman built like Santa's lawyer.

The proof for Letterman is reality. Both Norm McDonald and Ray Romano, two great comedians, have expressed their great love for him and what he has done for them. He truly has made the world a better place through his television shows.

“I hate my kids, let’s talk about them cuz NO ONE DOES THAT” original material

“No you’re the best” “No, YOU’RE the best” “No you!...”

The truth is that Letterman (particularly in the early years) did a great deal to discover and promote talent that had no other widely-seen outlet. A lot of people's careers were basically launched by appearances on his show. If for no other reason, viewers owe him a debt of gratitude. He was the only one not shoveling the same shit at us that the other talk shows promoted. Of course, of late that seems to have ceased, as he became the mainstream, and nobody has taken his place among the major talk show hosts in doing this. But it's no longer really required, as talent now has so many other outlets for gaining viewership.

Irrespective of what he did for anybody else's career, Letterman enriched my life. Very much. I was in high school when he got started, he helped me appreciate his intelligent and yet sometimes silly brand of humor, which was formative toward my own. So many laughs, enjoying watching with my parents and friends. As Seinfeld said, he could not have done more for people than what he did. Same with Seinfeld. Bringing laughter and moments of happiness and levity to people, in a world that sucks for the majority more than it is wonderful. They have done more for humanity than any person in our government has in my lifetime.

It's so hard to give a reach around, your reach around... But they PULL IT off..hahaha

Jerry is a narcissistic dick. Hard to figure it out?

The dynamic described here is interesting and actually quite characteristic of Dave. The aim of Dave's whole Schtick is to continually project that little matters or should be taken things seriously and this is a great clue to who Dave fundamentally is and what he thinks of himself. At moments when he transcends this avoidance to express genuine emotions, he engenders warmth and caring from his fans. The fanbase are essentially observer of this struggle in Dave to acknowledge genuine vulnerability. When Jerry, enormously successful himself, gives complements, these compliments are more potent and threatening to Dave's self-evaluation and challenge his deeper questioning of self-worth which he characteristically avoids. Despite his popularity and success, what he does, considering a deeper level, is avoidance of his lack of belief in his value as a person despite the enormity of evidence to the contrary: fame, fortune, popularity. He admits that he entered comedy not actually thinking that much of it. He was not filled with trepidation as many comics at the start of their careers who show up at the comedy store to do stand up. The sense is that he is winging it and he walks out on that tightrope denying that there is any danger to it. But as the reality is that there is danger in risk to anyone who cares about their life and avoiding bad outcomes, Dave's detachment to his vulnerability is directly associated with a denial of self-value. He must rely heavily on being distracted from this consideration of his self of a lack of value, which is what drives his walking the tightrope every day when he was on TV nightly. When Jerry reflects on Dave's accomplishments, Dave avoids acknowledging it with substantial discomfort because it threatens his ability to take the level of risks which distract him from the emptiness he experiences when not distracted. That's Dave Letterman.

3:11 that's deep, amen...

OF. ALL. TIME. So true...

The level of this conversation is on the whole another level

idk why but just looking at Jerry's face and that smirk he always seems to have, even when he has a seemingly straight face, it always cracks me up.

And while I didn't always agree with them, I loved the fact that they did it. Because everything else was boring in comparison.

Both these guys shows combined account for more laughs in my life than any others.

I need to watch the actual conversation, but lemme just say that teenaged me couldn't believe there was a network TV show with a host that threw watermelons off the roof of Rockefeller Center and made fun of their corporate overlord on a regular basis. That stuff literally formed my worldview at the time... Letterman is low key a beast.

What do u call a roast battle but with compliments?

I think what Letterman is referring to, without actually saying anything, meaning what's held in his mind, is the fact he knows he kept score with others who did comedy and he never was happy or content in his work, and he held massive grudges toward others who had achieved what he wasnt able to, such as Leno being given the Carson show. Letterman has insecurities and inferiority complexes and so it WAS always about himself not humankind as Seinfeld says. He wasn't doing a damn thing for others, it was about and for himself, and there's nothing wrong with that, my god, it's the norm in every industry.

David Letterman was the most powerful man in the mid 80s, he did more for humanity than any of us could ever aspire for

Two American Treasures right here.

Letterman turns every question he asks back to himself, so when Jerry figures this out, he gives Letterman what he wants..a compliment...then Letterman preceeds to be humble....what a phoney.

It is true'. David Letterman, and Jerry Seinfeld, have bestowed their audience with hundreds, if not thousands of "hours of quality entertainment." one even set aside time to sit and watch their programs. During this time, nothing else mattered. It didn't matter if that day, it would have been the worst day, and the show or the episode of that same day would have been more or less'. the only thing that mattered was seeing them, and you were comforted, and motivated, to find the humor in your life, and make it more pleasant. for my part, I thank you both, for giving a large part of your lives, to make mine a richer one. '

If you took an evening at the 92nd Street Y, made it aggressively crotchety, added caffeine, made the participants pessimistically reflect on their lives, then get the interview subject to maliciously deflect back onto the interviewer; then you would get this clip.
