Every time I've done wrong in life, my standard response is, "I'm on a mission from Dave."

Man, i love Dave

Dave with a full head of hair (on his scalp) -- and Paul, too. Almost forgot about that look.

This is pretty funny. Also, Chris was very scary during this particular Viewer Mail bit. That psychotic page is dangerous.

Thank Merrill Markoe for the combination of weird, crazy and hilarious that this show was.

Viewer Mail night was always my favourite night.

I think these LATE NIGHT shows were taped at 6 or 7 pm earlier that evening, but they have the feel of a show actually performed at 12:30 am in a half empty studio with some of the lighting turned off.

I'm thinking it could have been closer to 5pm at one point. I say this because during some years, they constantly made mention of "Live at 5", a local New York news magazine show that happened to broadcast from just across the hall from Late Night at 30 Rock at the time. During the second custom made show they did, they actually shot tennis balls from a machine at their studio doors for a couple of minutes.

I've always thought the same. The dim lighting gave the show a very 'late night' vibe.

Paul said in one video that without the show, "what do you do at 4PM?" which I assume is rehearsal start time, sounds too early for taping. The dimmed lighting is great, I never really put together how it looks "late", but I noticed it in Jimmy Kimmel Live's setup, because it is a little TOO late-looking and dark for my tastes

You need to check the airdate - June 19th - to get that first joke.

I wouldn’t go that far…I was their age in 1983 and I’m gonna be 45 in a couple of months. “Nearly 50” is 47-49. Or maybe I’m just rationalizing being an old man.

June 19th 1983 airdate... now the first joke induces massive laughter from the 2023 audience. Notice no mention of Juneteenth in 1983.

They got the milk in bags joke wrong. The kids should have been drinking out of bottles in paper bags like a bunch of subway winos.

Every time you guys post a video with a celeb's name, I Google them to see if they are OK. It's exhausting!
