That has to be one of the most resilient ‘Lettermanisms’ out there.

I’m told there’s a compilation of all of Kamarr’s appearances on Dave elsewhere on the KZreads. Unable to confirm.

I looked it up. Danny Thomas died February 6, 1991. He appeared with Dave and Macaulay Culkin on January 8, 1991.

These pieces always lift my spirits, thanks Dave!

It's great to see Morty looking very healthy after all these years and that he seems to have a very nice couch. Great guy!

Finally :) When we had Morty on our show last year, one of our best shows ever, we had 2 questions. The first was if they would finally give him a staff favorite moments segment on this lovely channel. The second, will they let him cuss on said segment. Thankfully, both questions enjoy the affirmative.

13:26 The look on Dave's face after Morty had fondled his heiny...PRICELESS!

When I was in college, we used "They pelted us with rocks and garbage!"

Really good. Thanks Morty.

Morty is a legend! I remember SPY magazine used to poke fun at him for his "man about town" ways.

Way to go, Morty! You helped Dave out with some of the classic Late Night/Late Show With David Letterman moments ever. Thanks! Well done!

I just mentioned wanting to see the hypnotist the other day. Thanks for posting a clip of that here. I believe at one point there was another hypnotist as well. But thanks for posting this one. I think some of the best material are the mid 90s remotes when Dave would go on location places. Any of that stuff would be great as well.

So great to finally have Morty on here! Not as sweet and down-to-earth as so many of the other staffers we've met, but his personality fit his role, and for the good of the show!!

miss you love you

Everyone loves Pea boy.

I'd love to see Laurie Diamond do one of these.

Punk rock comedy. Dave's interactions with Morty stood out to me as the ultimate "cool" thing in the late 80's / early 90's. It took away the pretense and "perfect" glean of a professionally produced talk show and just made it feel like the audience was cool enough to be in on all the jokes.

This guy is an epic realtor now. Look up Robert Morton at Smith and Berg

love my morty

The history of American comedy is broad and deep and complex, and it includes so many people you've never heard of who stood between visionary talent and the corporate suits who sought to control them. We all know Lorne Michaels, but producers like Morty Morton and Jeff Ross (Conan O'Brien's long-time producer) did the job five nights a week.

Salute

Every time pea boy comes out all I can think of are the poor people who had to clean up all those peas :(
