"How's the Weather" Collection on Letterman, 1990-91 + '92 Extras

No worries, its the same thing when you dial a crisis line in the USA

Dave Letterman, Conan O'Brien and Craig Ferguson were the kings of late night talk shows, every late night talk show today is nothing but a very poor copy and let's be honest it's all propaganda....

Aha, hope Helen Nice caught the show!

Was Dave not allowed to say the name of the program?

Funny how she screams from the back

Dave you bonehead dial a 1 first. Someone off camera told him this right after I posted this.

@Don Giller, is there any chance we can get the rest of the footage from June 18, 1991, where they bought the woman some new shoes?

I have never liked a woman's hands more.

This was truly an amazing show and none today even come close. I may not always agree with Letterman politically but he never let that show when he was on air.

David had all the awesome ideas on his show no one can come close now a days all boring shows

Leave me alone damn it, I'm watching how's the weather.

Barbara Gaines is so cute.

Omg laughing my head off! Thank you for this compilation!!

Dave said "man alive" a lot in the 80s and 90s. A lot.
After watching countless hours and videos from Don's archive I've meant to comment on it and I guess now finally I did :)

From how much he used this expression I don't think he used it much in 00s. I wonder where the cut off was and he stopped using it.

Don, you are the King of Letterman. I thank you for all these amazing collections and all the shows in general. This was truly an amazing show and none today even come close. I may not always agree with Letterman politically but he never let that show when he was on air. ALL executives are weasels, simple. On the same note, I am now not getting anything done because I am watching all these clips, for that, also, I thank you!

Something tells me he had a preteen in his own family the time he made these skits! That was when crank calls were harmless

I can't believe they called Minot again and picked the Grog Shop. I recognized the liquor store as soon as they said the name. Thanks for indulging me just can't believe they called Minot twice. Did they call anyone else's hometown who happened to watch this? I'm done not even done with the video, they may call again. 😂

In the second segment they called Minot, North Dakota, which is where I'm from. He said the number was out of order but it sounded like somebody answered. I listened to it a few times.

As with most comments, of all the characters working with Dave, the one I'd love to meet and chat with is Barbara Gaines. She seems to be, to this day, one of Dave's best friends.

Dave would get cancelled these days for all that grab-ass 😂

I swear Barbara Gaines is the most delightful Human on the planet 🙂

After the third time 🤓

i'm surprised miss Gaines did not file sexual harassment against letterman the way he was touching her on some of these.

Steve Vai's riffling music was great

Yes it's not a new idea ,but it is the person and the chance of being slightly on the edge

BBC this nearly beats the Two Ronnie's for a fraction of money

The most annoying, boring, stupid thing Dave does is dial the phone, with his stupid slow heavy one finger and paralyzed brain. For such a hip guy, how can he be such a moron and think that we are entertained by this? Definitely the worst thing about the program.

Poor Bette, she was nervous and excited, she just wanted to make sure she played her keys right, she didn't prepare for how to properly pretend to listen to Letterman telling stories about the timbers in his house in CT.

I loved when Barbara got some air time. She's was as adorable when the show ended as she was when she first appeared and she had a great rapport with Dave.

Did Dave send Helen and Ray a copy of the show to prove it was him for real???

When life was fun and simple

Back when you had to throw a pen at a camera and make it, in a reasonable amount of takes. Unlike these lil tik tok instagram 100 take bit*hes with their gat dang ping pong balls and dominos.

Cool to see him dial mi, it looked like he dialed 313 for saginaw mi, i know nowadays its changed to a new area code.
Btw what mother says on air " hows my barbara doing, put her on a diet" whoa ! That is just horrible tough 💘

Sadly I am here to announce the passing of one of the phonebook people. Merle Humphrey of Vidalia Georgia died in June, 2006 at the age of 96. She never made it to New York to visit Dave. Rip

OMG, that is great ...... "I fired the little bastard, he's out" ....You'd never hear anybody saying that these days......I laughed so hard, my stomach ached!

"I fired the little bastard!" Few people could pull that off

It's sort of crazy to think that these phone numbers were basically put on air for anyone to copy lol. Each number has a specific tone, so reverse engineering the numbers would be pretty simple if the program was recorded. The whole country basically had access to a person's name, area, home phone number, and whatever else Dave got out of them.

I was hearing him dia,l and I'm thinking, didn't you need to dial 1?

A lot of old people went to bed early so they probably didn’t know what the David Letterman show was. My grandma when to bed following the news.

Where was Paul?

Gives new meaning to the old saying, "I'd listen to him read out of the phone book"

I wonder if that Nice woman watched the show she was on.

Barbara Gaines reminds me of everyone's favorite aunt
