David Letterman launches YouTube channel devoted to both of his late night TV shows

David Letterman has launched a YouTube channel devoted to both of his late night TV shows:

Welcome to the Letterman YouTube Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show - as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. These highlights have been artisanly-produced, carefully-curated, and chosen completely at random by an old computer that used to pick numbers for the New York Lotto back in the 90’s.

My sister - home from college - introduced me to Late Night with David Letterman in the Summer of 1985. Thanks to the timer on my VCR, I never missed an episode of his NBC show. I was obsessed with Letterman. During the student council election my sophomore year, I put up VOTE FOR DAVE flyers all over the school. I even had a Late Night sweatshirt.

This is very cool news!

Yeah the NBC show was the best. Nothing since has come close to equaling it. I wonder how he got the rights to the NBC shows. I think he only owns the CBS shows. I wish we could get complete NBC shows like NBC used to rerun on their defunct Trio cable channel.

NBC Afterschool Special: "They Took My Show Away."

As if I don't have enough to watch already, I'll be wasting a lot of time on this YouTube channel. I would love for a comprehensive best-of Blu-Ray or DVD set of full length episodes. Probably too many rights issues with the music performances, but I can dream...

Letterman's NBC show was night & day different for me from the CBS show. Same thing happened to Conan - it just never worked the same after leaving 6A. Will be awesome to see some of those old clips looking and sounding better.

That is stupid and dumb and terrible

All the musical performances are worth it.

It'd be neat to see stuff from his morning show from 1980, apart from the low-quality YT uploads. I can clearly remember watching it and getting a kick out of it, even though I was only 7. Guess I had good taste even back then.
