    Beastie Boys Sabotage The Late Show

    In 1994, Beastie Boys appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman. Here’s the official video for the song, and it looks like they had a blast making it. Spike Jonze shot it without permits, and the band did their own stunt driving. This one is such a banger, it lasts well into the future.…

    Here’s the full appearance of David Letterman on a 1992 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Nice to see a full(ish) episode out in the wild too, complete with local TV adverts.

Proctology: A Bottom Examination is my deep dive into Bottom, the hit BBC Two sitcom starring Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson. That’s…
