Every time Bill Murray comes on to The Late Show with David Letterman, it’s a pretty magical time.
Whether he’s merely telling true stories or thinking up of who should be in the female reboot of The Ghostbusters or “training for a marathon” or getting back from George Clooney’s wedding, Bill and Dave have some damn good fun.
Hopefully, Bill’s on a few more times before Dave leaves The Late Show.
On Letterman, Keegan Michael-Key and Jordan Peele explain their dynamic on Key & Peele that they divvy up between brains and the ability and willingness to take on an attack dog.
Wanna guess which one is which? Well, take a guess then see if you’re right and watch the clip here.
While Americans seem to show some interest for soccer during the World Cup, there is still a lack of interest in the game that the world calls football for the other 4 years of time when the World Cup isn’t happening.
John Oliver got some insight into why that might be based on his explanation of the English Premier League as well as the other subsequent soccer leagues in England to David Letterman on The Late Show.
While on The Late Show with David Letterman this week, Jerry Seinfeld announced the premiere date of the brand new season of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
Come Nov. 6th, Seinfeld will unveil new episodes with new cars with the likes of Fred Armisen, Jimmy Fallon, and more. An episode of Joan Rivers was planned, but, as you well know, she passed away less than a month ago.
Also, note that this will be the 5th season of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, which makes us wonder if Jerry will keep this show running as long as the 9 seasons of Seinfeld.
In the world of late night, there are comedians that have mastered doing stand-up in the pinpoint, condensed style of delivering material without seeming pinpoint or condensed that most late night talk shows require. That’s part of the reason that a handful of stand-ups get to do several sets/make several apperances on several different shows.
One of those comedians is Jake Johannsen and you can see his latest appearance from this week amongst dozens over the last few decades here.
Last night on The Late Show with David Letterman, Tina Fey sat down and chatted with Dave about the havoc that her youngest daughter is currently wreaking. Fey also discussed a fool proof plan for nude photos in the event that they were stolen from her and leaked to the Internet.
On top of all of that, she found out that the movie that her and Amy Poehler are starring in, The Nest, might be going up against Star Wars Episode VII in theaters next Christmas.
Needless to say, Fey isn’t worried about it all about handling her crazed daughter, taking down Star Wars on opening weekend and outsmarting celebrity photo thieves.
For the last several weeks, many of all of our favorite late night programming has taken their summer vacations and we’ve all been left with reruns at 1 in the morning.
Now that Summer’s over, it’s all back to work for all of us, which includes brand new episodes of Letterman, Kimmel, Fallon, Conan, Meyers, The Daily Show, “@midnight”, Colbert, and Ferguson (that’s Craig Ferguson mind you, not Ferguson, MO).
For tonight, you should especially watch Stephen Colbert and Amy Sedaris on Late Night with Seth Meyers (NBC 12:35AM) and Brett Gelman and Brooks Wheelan on Conan (TBS 11PM)
Bonnie McFarlane put up quite the stand up set last night when she returned to the stage at The Late Show with David Letterman. Not only did it blend personal material with big issues of our day like being transgendered, it was damn funny.
That’s right, Tommy Johnagin has been on The Late Show with David Letterman to do stand-up 7 times. That’s becoming a harder and harder feat to accomplish these days given the proliferation of stand-up over the last decade. Last night marked his 7th set and, obviously, there’s a reason why Johnagin keeps getting invited back (hint: he’s damn funny).
Watch his set from this week here.
Before Strangers with Candy, Stephen Colbert was writing and submitting all over the place. In fact, in 1997, he wrote his own Top Ten List for The Late Show, which he read off on Letterman last night.
Apparently, he was almost an intern and now he’s going to take cues from Dave when he gets behind The Late Show desk in 2015.
Stephen Colbert to Visit David Letterman on The Late Show Next Tuesday
The passing of the torch of The Late Show begins next week when Stephen Colbert visits David Letterman on The Late Show yet again.
Perhaps, the ceremony will be marked by Colbert going in and out of his character, which could just be him switching Dartmouth and Northwestern?
At the opening of last night’s Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert offered up his two cents on the David Letterman’s retirement coming in 2015 and commented that he feels for “whoever” has to follow the late night institution that Letterman has created.
Hari Kondabolu was on Letterman this week and not only performed a nicely done set of stand up comedy, but has a really great insight about the future, specifically, the year 2042.
“Incidentally”, his brand new album is also called Waiting For 2042, which you should pick up after you watch his set here.
If you could give Yelp reviews to entire activities, Jake Johannsen’s story about whale watching on Letterman would probably be one of the best ones.
Watch his performance on The Late Show from this past week here.
Bill Murray continues to be one of the few people whose life would make for a non-guilty pleasure reality show, but chooses to just delight us all randomly whenever he pleases.
Watch him fly, not walk, in to The Late Show with David Letterman, then get a full shave.
Myq Kaplan has become a Late Show with David Letterman regular with this latest appearance notching his 3rd set on Letterman.
Give a watch to see Myq show why he’s routinely invited back to The Late Show.
Bill Cosby is amazing at many things, especially when it comes to comedy as you should know.
According to a story he told during Letterman last night, he also scored an incredibly low SAT score. Watch and see how he pulled it off here.
During her interview on Letterman, Lena Dunham revealed that she was thoroughly delighted to get a 3rd season of Girls (premiering this Sun. Jan. 12th 10PM on HBO) considering everything she did in season two, suspecting that she had gotten away with enough according to HBO.
With that in mind, Letterman gives her a little more encouragement on doing her own show. Watch the clip here.
The Most Intentionally Funny Videos of 2013 Part 4
Our final edition of The Most Intentionally Funny Videos for 2013 at The Nerdist was posted yesterday featuring Bill Murray as Liberace on Letterman, Eddie Pepitone rapping on Arsenio Hall, Jon Stewart’s Deep Dish Pizza Rant, and more.
Watching all of those as well as MIFV part one, two, and three should make any day that you have in 2014.
Give them all a watch again like we’re probably going to.
When not busy with Anchorman or Old Milwaukee or Funny or Die or Gary Sanchez Productions or any million other things that Will Ferrell is busy doing, Will Ferrell likes to indulge in a few of his hobbies like singing with The Vienna Boys Choir.
Watch what that actually looks and sounds like on Letterman here.
Last night, NY based Adrienne Iapalucci made her Letterman stand up debut and did so well that she got invited to the couch (even though that’s not in this clip).
Watch her first set on The Late Show with David Letterman here.
We’re thrilled at the facts that Rhys Darby got to do The Late Show with David Letterman for the first time this past Friday and did so without the seemingly mandatory suit and tie for comedians.
Whether you think wearing a suit might have an effect on the set or not, Rhys was great and you should watch his debut Letterman set now.
The number “26” itself seems almost like a joke when it comes to the number of anything in comedy as it doesn’t immediately bring anything to mind other than it seems like a lot, especially late night sets.
Yet, comedy legend in the making Brian Regan notched his 26th set on The Late Show with David Letterman, a feat that most comics would laugh about getting to.
See Regan actually do so with his set right here.
UK comedian Simon Amstell has been on American television before, but we hope that it will happen more in this context with doing stand up on The Late Show with David Letterman.
Tonight, Bill Murray Celebrates David Letterman’s 20th Year at The Late Show
There’s a reason the Internet can conceive to do a supercut of David Letterman’s inside drums joke as Letterman’s hosted the show for over 20 years and tonight’s commemorative episode should be really fun as Letterman’s good pal Bill Murray is stopping by.
Don’t miss the hijinx on CBS at 11:35PM.
