Truly. Surreal.

Larry "Bud" Melman was the most beloved man in America for a few years.

Happy 100th to Larry "Bud" Melman - July 23, 2021. RIP Calvert.

Calvin DeForest RIP loved this guy

Larry was so cute. Like a character from a far side cartoon, glasses and all.

For those who might not get this, this was the essence of Letterman. You put him in front of a dumpster fire, and watch him squirm!

This is why I was often late for school.

I miss these days. He was eccentrically funny🙂

This is absolute magic….just OUTSTANDING.

I remember my first viewing of "Late Night" in the summer of 1983. Author James Clavell was the announced guest, and this guy strutted out, posed imperiously in front of a giant mock-up of the cover of "Shogun," and then proceeded to denounce David for his weak questions and failure to understand his writing. Then he broke into tears and called himself a "sham." I thought it was horrible to witness this breakdown, but couldn't look away. Everyone else knew it was Bud, but not me, cause I never saw the show before. I was a loyal viewer for years, and always awaited the great sham author's next appearance. Larry was the king.

@@larrymelman Wow. It shows me how tricked my memory is. That was my favorite Bud Melman memory, and it turns out wrong.

80s Letterman is best Letterman

Always Loved the way he said "Hi David"

"Well pump me full of sewage and leave me in a ditch." LOL

Does he say "sewage" or "suet"? It's hard to tell.

It's unbelievable just how big and unexpected of a jackpot Larry "Bud" Melman won with his gig on Letterman.

Correction: Calvert DeForest as Larry "Bud" Melman as Kenny the Gardener as Donny the Pastry Chef as Jay Leno. But thanks for a great clip. =o)

I knew Larry Budd Melmen. he was one of my first customers at Sterling Optical BayRidge Brooklyn NY Bud Millman wore Contact lenses under eyeglass because the eyeglass we're part of his act to be funny. May he RIP Bud Melmen

Larry Bud was so cute, loveable, and cuddly, that I would have married him on the spot if I had the chance, donning the best wedding dress any wedding in the World has ever witnessed. AND I'M A STRAIGHT GUY!

Omg the sound effect!

Everyone loves Larry

Wending machines, lol. He was the best. And the worst.

My hero.

Hey, whoops!

Hi David. What a sweet guy.

LOL "coins?"

When he broke into Bali Hai I nearly shat myself

These train wrecks are truly the best. They were so far ahead of their time.

Everything with Calvert got higher and higher concept as time went on.

2:33 I swear he's saying "what's fucking Donnie"

Hey whoops!

I can't help but notice. You have 111 Subscribers, Brett Walsh. One, for "no Gardening. One, for "no Landscaping" and, yet, another, for "no Flower arranging." Congratarrangions. Edit: "

Donny was the godfather of fusion cooking..................

Hey Donnie

You would be half asleep, and there he was.

BOINNGGGGG!

Best. Episode. Ever! Best part on his first appearance was when they’re about to get started and Sylver is concerned about a couple of the volunteers and Dave frustratingly just kinda waves his hand and says, _”...nobody’s buying this anyway!”_ And nobody was, then or the second time. Dave did interrupt a lot, but the whole act was nonsense! 😒

Hi

I wish someone would post the Enzo Bud Melman bit where Larry pretends to be Enzo Ferrari.

It was amazing how distinct his impressions were from each other.

Letterman owes a bit to Chris Elliot?

Why is the volume so low?

...either this ep. lost it's 80's luster or seriously... WTF?

Donny the Pastry chef never worked as well as Kenny.

Chris Elliot was way better
