Looking for David Letterman 11/7/95 VHS/DVD

Hi - wondering if anyone may have this episode of The Late Show on VHS or DVD. Contains Danny DeVito, Brett Butler, and dipstick skit. I'd be happy to pay you back for your time and materials! Thanks - would love to get this one.

Your best bet would be Alan Smithee, he probably recorded it.

That was a Tuesday, right? I got Monday and Wednesday of that week, but I forgot to set up my VCR to tape Tuesday's because my stupid sister was hogging the TV watching Caroline in the City! Sorry. Good luck though!

Ah! Yep that was a Tuesday. It also re-aired on 4/17/96, 5/30/97, and 1/26/00 if you happen to have recorded those repeats.

It wouldn't have mattered, Nothing Lasts Forever (Part 2) ran long that night and pushed everything back a little. Not sure how you screw up allocating something like that but I guess it happens.

Was that the crossover episode with Jonathan Silverman's Single Guy character and Chandler from Friends?

Try asking the guy who runs this site:

http://ddy.com/dl3.html

Can you get me a video?

CBS and Worldwide Pants Incorporated do not provide copies of past shows or segments. Dave's production company, Worldwide Pants, owns the copyright to Late Show episodes. They don't mind if fans trade segments among themselves.
I get video requests every few days, and have helped people with segments many times, at no charge. I have 540 hours on tape from 5,800 hours of episodes. I almost never record musical acts. I have digital captures of very recent episodes, but you can get them from the Late Show web site.

I'll be happy to check my Late Night and Late Show episode logs to get you the date and episode number, and make you a video if I can, but I will not give you contact information for other fans.
he has a link to one of the skits from 11/7/95 here:

Email? Sorry, I don't believe in computers.

Re: Looking for David Letterman 11/7/95 VHS/DVD

This thread makes me wonder if we'll ever see a DVD collection of old Letterman episodes the way they've released Johnny Carson stuff. Then again, the episodes I'd really like to see are almost exclusively from his Late Night days on NBC and not his Late Show days on CBS...so who knows what legal issues between NBC and Letterman might prevent that from happening.

I'd pretty much quit watching and recording TV by the mid-90s, mainly because reception was crappy where I lived and I also was busy watching free movies at the theater I worked at. I have one Letterman show from 1986, in stereo, to fill up an odd hour at the end of a tape I recorded movies on. I forget who the guests were.

Exactly! You've got a great memory!

bnb2050, I had stopped taping him by the end of '95, I'm afraid. I was starting to feel like he was becoming the type of host he used to make fun of in his NBC years.

Thanks for the help, everyone. Surprised that these are so difficult to find!
