Peter's parents: We'll be back Thursday to pick up Peter. Good Luck!

David Letterman was the best person to talk and deal with children. He just seemed real natural and funny with the kids. Putting them at ease in a funny way. I’ve secretly been in love with David Letterman for more than 50 years. He doesn’t know I’m alive but, I know he’s alive that’s really all that matters. 😂❤

Letterman embracing the hand he was dealt with the out of control little kid was brilliant. He played off it and made the whole segment hilarious. He was a Master.

The kids were cute and even funny. Dave should get an award for making great humor out of really awkward situations, plus the way he treated the kids was tops. But i bet he wished he had a fly swatter for the jumping bean.

ALL of the kids were GREAT!.. They're KIDS!.. And Letterman's way of talking to/dealing with each of them is a beautiful thing to behold.. I cant get enough of this clip!..

That 6 yrs old girl couldn't believe she remembered all those lines to the joke. David forgot on how to answer it.

I have watched this video now a few times since a few days ago just to laugh hysterically, specially at his joke, but also all his actions combined including his minute laugh right before his punchline, he knowing some mischief was coming. And yes, the little bitty girl was so adorable, and then her going next to the older girl and holding hands was also special.

Peter isn't!

When television was at its finest, I remember watching Letterman almost every night I watch Letterman and I love this segment when he brings the kids on and they tell jokes or either showing him like and what they invented that’s when kids were kids just so innocent and Funny and fun things were so much better back then now all kids do is watch Kim Kardashian and listen to Drake and they’re on their TikTok and Instagram and wear sweatpants to school and oversize jackets and boots. I don’t know and they’re in some of them are really rude actually Anyways best television ever letterman I got the opportunity to see Letterman live in New York City many many many years ago it was so awesome.

Dave could make anything funny, and he was brilliant with kids. His Halloween shows were always hilarious. And those kids were adorable. Well, MOST of them.

The little man joke was the funniest and brilliantly told with great comic timing.

The girl with the red shirt I think should be the winner. The boy in the green shirt by now is probably hosting a late night show somewhere on this planet.

First kid cracks me up. Hard to believe this was thirty years ago.

The developmental difference between six-yr-old boys and six-yr-old girls is immense. Dave was actually amazing with young Peter. I only wish I had had his brilliant sense of humor and timing when I was teaching! 😂😂😂❤️💥
