it was deliberate. Dave shown how brilliantly he can carry any interview

If anyone thinks, de niro is acting awkward, or uncomfortable, it’s because he is. He does not give interviews. It gives him really bad anxiety and he tenses up and cannot talk, that’s why you see him acting like that and also never see him doing interviews rarely.

I love how Dave throws out the line about Hoffman and DeNiro being "subsumed" in their characters, and then the two take a small side bar and kibbutz about the meaning of it. Classic Dave and a brilliant ad lib by Dustin and Robert. All of them; Masters of their craft.

Robert de Niro isn't obligated to please anybody. David Letterman still had to deal with it till the end of the show. The awkwardness of it all made the interview a classic.

DeNero was difficult and Dave was a pleasure to watch such a masterful job. Dustin a true gentleman.

I dont think DeNiro likes to verbalize the experiences of being an actor. He feels it and internalizes it, understands what he's doing with regards to preparation and execution, but doesn't (and often is unable to) wrap it up into neatly digestible words.

A Legendary interview. Dustin Hoffman was amazing in "Marathon Man". The Godfather Pt.2 Robert De Niro was brilliant.

Dave: "You guys are subsumed by the material." Dustin: "Subs...?! Subsumed? What is subsume?" Deniro: "Yeah ok... Sort of... Something like consumed and... Yeah" That was priceless.

These 2 are so special....off screen they're so witty and interesting. Even though they really are not particularly talkative. And Letterman is great at interviewing " quiet " personalities.

Midnight cowboy and pappion.

Dustin Hoffman has done SO many legendary movies

Non-comedians will never know how hard it is to try to make an entertaining bit when the person beside you is flat. It’s one of the hardest things you can do and only the best Comedian can do it. I commend Dave for being able to pull it off. Johnny Carson used to ban people from the show for acting the same way. Dave played on it. The funny thing is, had Dinero not been laid-back and quiet… The whole segment would not have come off as entertaining. It could’ve been disastrous. I commend all three. I’m sure Dinero actually really enjoyed this. You could see him breaking a smile every once in a while. Probably second-guessing his history of not appearing on the show. I’m going to guess that it was in loyalty to Johnny… Or maybe he just for whatever reason had preconceived notions about Dave. Definitely hilarious.

Dustin once spoke at a school I was attending and gave the most inspirational speech. Saw Bob and Pacino speak at Paramount on different occasions, they were o.k...... but Dustin ....I mean WOW! 💖
