Brings back memories of the electricity in the Letterman era and what good pals Dave & Regis were. Thanks again Don.

Imagine being the guy in the audience. One time David Letterman gave me a kiss on the cheek and a 16 pound roast.

There is a great talk show going on in heaven right now and Regis is the host. May the GOAT of morning television rest in peace.

I love that you got both versions.

I like how Dave brings attention to the continuity errors with the glasses, and the 15 seconds that it took him to get from Regis' set back to his own. He might as well have said, "it's so obvious that we pre-taped this bit." 😆

Dave and Regis were hilarious together. Rest in peace, Reg

another great Regis moment, the reaction from Regis and Kathie Lee when they see DL walking on - DL just adored Regis, DL had Regis on his show many times and you could see the affection he showed him. love the LIVE behind the scenes shots of the set, crew, audience ! ! ! ! !

They all had such a great sense of humour. KLG didn’t take herself so seriously and laughed at the “Doby” joke about her son kody.

Letterman had incredible charisma and you could see Kathie Lee was kind of taken aback by it. Letterman was great at coming into a situation, doing his thing and getting out.

"When they told me my first guest after coming back (from heart surgery) was Regis Philbin, I said, 'I'd rather have the surgery again!'" -- David Letterman, 1/14/2000

Kathie Lee filled in for him on some of those nights. She was really good too!

I gave a thumbs up less than one minute in because, you know... Dave. RIP Regis. What a sweet, funny and stand up guy you were.

Thank you so much for this. Those were the days, my friend, I thought they’d never end.

Man you can tell David had the energy back in the day...lolz

I bet David is as sad as a lot of us are tonight. You could tell he and Regis had a genuine fondness for one another.

Letterman was a lot of fun.

David inviting Regis on his show was always good entertainment

Thanks for posting these.. RIP Regis.

I dug out my old VHS tapes during quarantine and had a few "mixed tapes" of various shows recorded off TV - and this entire episode was one of them!

I always loved when Letterman did things like this!

Great segment for both shows. Nice that you were able to upload the R & KL footage, too. RIP Regis.

Dave was incredibly charismatic in these clips.

This was great! Hillarious! Thanks for sharing.

I hope you have more to come. These are making the mourning go by easier. #RIPRegis

Thank you, Don, for all the work you put in sharing these videos!

Dave was so concerned about 'continuity' with his wearing glasses that he forgot that the BAGS didn't match! :) The bag he left NBC with was tall, the bag he presented to Regis and Kathie Lee was wide!

He wasn't concerned with continuity. That was the joke.

Regis will always be Notre Dame fan God speed to Regis.

Since Letterman does his show at 5:30 PM and Regis did his show at 9 AM....

And Regis dresses very well with shoes and a good tie. We will see the young and funny Regis on KZread for years to come RIP.

You always upload great classic stuff man and rip regis

I loved the old Letterman Show on NBC

This is peak David Letterman.

RIP REGIS....YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE

Letterman needs to organize tribute for regis, hes like 100+ times guest on letterman show

First thing I think of with Regis as a millennial is from how I met your mother when they paint him as a scary gangster, which was hilarious.

The big man and reg were always great together

Lmao at "Doby".

A hundred years from now people will watch him with Kathy Lee on youtube.

Regis isn't gone, his soul is trapped forever in a continuous KZread loop.

Dave is the best...

Don, any chance of you putting up the Blue Rodeo clip from the episode? They're a Canadian band. Loved their stuff. Didn't know they were ever on Letterman. Edit; Just figured out Regis died. Bummer. He was a cool dude.

1. VHS or Beta tape from various VCRs to DVD burner. Finalize. 2. Convert DVD-R to .mp4 on desktop computer. 3. ID file and place in appropriate folder.

Need the clip from Late Show when Kathie Lee sings Happy Birthday to Dave...

That was truly fun times two.. I would like to have seen Manon Rheaume from that day Wow, she is still managing a girls league in Canada. Any way to post that? Also Mitch Mitchel from the Experience was on and I missed him.

I heard Letterman was a stickler about audio quality on his shows, and truly, the sound was better when Dave’s producers mic’d him walking in on Regis compared to the sound of Dave on Regis’ microphones

Wish Dave would come back and save late night TV.

3:49 your son doopy😂😂😅😅

do you have the clip where celebrities welcome Dave back from his heart bypass surgery, and David Duchovny, in his Agent Mulder office, calls Regis a "caffeinated little monkey," and they switch over to Regis on his morning show set firing right back at Duchovny?

now that I'm thinking/remembering it, Regis was probably on his "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" show set instead, it's been a long time since that was on, 20 year old memory if that was in 2000

. Wow......don't know that I've ever seen Regis so (relatively) subdued......usually he was CONSTANTLY yacking (not meant as a dig, just an observation). Maybe it was because he really was (as Kathie Lee also seems to be here) caught so off-guard, he didn't really know what to say or do.... That said, interesting to see how Dave and Regis's (on-air, anyway) relationship "blossomed" over the years, and how these two genuinely seemed to like being together...... .

GOD GIVE US BACK REGIS PHILBIN AND WILL GIVE U STEPHANIE HOLLMAN !!!

Katie Lee seems to be in shock of seeing a TV star? She never meet him before?

let's be honest....Kathie Lee was a BABE back in the day.
