Richard Ayoade And David Letterman
posted September 24, 2025 #
Twenty-one minutes of Richard Ayoade talking with the one and only David Letterman - who, surprisingly, seems to be a genuine fan of Ayoade. It's good chat. Full stop.
It's also an abbreviated chat. It seems to cut off mid-sentence on Ayoade! But don't worry, there's a Part 2 that lets you continue the goods.
As a random sidebar, this is also a bit of a testament to the power of YouTube thumbnails and how bad they can be! Maybe this change in the future but the current thumbnail looks like this - some nice type with some quote bubbles around it. If you are cruising YouTube in 2025, this is barely going to catch your eye. Why not put a still of Letterman and Ayoade in the image? Facial recognition is going to happen quicker than text comprehension. C'mon folks! Who knew I had this rant in me? Certainly not I.
