Is That Really the Little Girl from E.T.?
You know what’s great? Seeing a guest embarrass Letterman instead of the other way around, which is exactly what Drew Barrymore did in 1995. That year on his birthday, she spontaneously jumped onto his desk and, with her back facing the audience, flashed her bazongas in his face.
“It’s still something I think about and talk about and tell my friends,” Letterman told Barrymore during her visit to the show in 2007, a month before his 60th birthday and right after the 32-year-old actress denied his request for a re-enactment of sorts. There’s always next year, you creepy old man you.
Next: Twilight or Twilight Zone?
Twilight or Twilight Zone?
Twilight star Kristen Stewart’s 15 minutes of fame might have already passed (until the next movie in the series, at least), but, oh, what a memorable 15 minutes they were. Less than a week before she would be photographed smoking drugs on her Los Angeles doorstep, Stewart dropped by Letterman’s show for one last plug of her vegetarian-vampire flick. The result is equal parts hilarity and horror. Take this exchange, for example:
Stewart: We have this big European press tour to do. I’m not sure if we’re going to end up in London or Berlin, but wherever we end up, I’m going to drive to Russia. I’m very, very excited about that.
Letterman [deadpan:] Let’s hope for Berlin.
[Audience laughs, understands geography.]
Stewart [oblivious to joke:] I’m actually hoping for Russia. Very much so, yeah.
Letterman: Um.
Eek, is more like it.
