She's months older than me and she looks like such a flapper in this interview, some timeless jewel from the 1920's. She was so very beautiful and she still is, but we all get older. What a piece of time, what a moment to love.
Same age as drew too.. loved her whole life read little girl lost several times loved ET as a kid.. and would love to be friends with her she's so cool and fun and nice!.. and bit cray cray which is always a fun friend to have. She's matured into a responsible mum now but still funny to watch.
Her hair & fashion was how I exactly dressed in the 90s just 1 year apart from Drew. And I was, whoah I wished we were friends or somebody just like her to teach me something like that and srill look wholesome 😁. Oh how I love the 90s. Thankful that Drew overcame and rose above her personal challenges and used her privilege to serve as an inspiration through her lighthearted but very thoughtful movies and through her insights on how she keeps being faithful in just being a humble 💗and kindly grateful human being✨️.
Wedding crashers. 50 first dates... her cameo and production of Donnie Darko. That holler of frustration . When she thought she was alone on smoke break. After she was fired. Temporarily dismissed.
@@Robert_Douglass smart answer Robert, avoid those charges when the girl wakes up the next day regretting what they were heavily into the night before.
@@Sindoku”regretting what they were heavily into the night before”; more like whenever you’re under any substance you can’t consent properly because only sober people can consent. Weirdo.
Still have this moment on tape. They never showed Letterman here in the UK, but my satelite receiver had German channels where one, RTL 2, used to show Letterman's shows brand new and in English. Great stuff. 90s was a crazy decade.
Yeah. I was the same. Lived in London for 14 years and I bought a Satellite dish to get all the German Channels (WDR, 3Sat,N3,MDR etc) as they had fantastic music shows, especially Ohne Filter Extra, Beat Club and most especially Rockpalast which is still going every Sunday night since 1974. I still have the satellite dish hooked up, but its not the same anymore. Sigh!!! Those were the days. BTW. Used to also watch Jay Leno on NBC etc too. But I was mostly into watching the classic rock guests on Talk shows
More recently Drew takes to letterman about this and said she didn't plan doing that and almost instantly felt like she regretted it- but David made her feel so accepted and not judged ❤😊
There has never been a version of Drew Barrymore that wasn’t endearing. I’m lucky enough to have known her in the late 80’s - early 90’s. LA child actor. We crossed paths a lot. I love her soul.
That's precisely the word for her. "Endearing." She's one of my favorite goofball-geniuses. I've met a few people in my travels and always thought she would be hilarious to chat with on a trip to Tokyo. But you are no slouch, pal. I studied your dad's work like crazy in university and you did sell me some encyclopedias. Downside though, you're also the reason I wore those same "encyclopedia-kid" glasses in the 80's. My yearbook photos did NOT age well. That's on you. That's on you.
Drew kissing Kamala Harris' ass wasn't particularly endearing, for example. On the contrary, it was the epitome of cringe. I liked her as an actress when she was young, but as a talk-show host, she hasn't done anything endearing, to my knowledge.
I miss the 90's feel too. I remember feeling it, even though I was only 10, I remember the feeling of simplicity and as drew says in a later interview: "a freedom to be spontaneous and vulnerable".... without Karens whipping out their cell phones...
Nah these are the people who destroyed the industry. They groomed Drew since E.T she is one of the most wholesome beautiful natural woman alive. Yet they destroyed her.
I remember this but I thought she flashed him longer..and Dave kept saying ‘thank yooou..’. I don’t remember Drew flashing him briefly and just sitting down. Hm.
@@DVGomes Drew was only 20 y/o when she did this..kids do dumb things. She didn’t have good parental role models and had a wild young life. Thankfully, she seems to be a good parent to her own two daughters.
This is easily TOP 5 best moments in talkshow history. So iconic!!! Drew Barrymore was so wild yet so endearing that she was loved by all at the time. A true Hollywood royalty yet still a sweet and humble person today. I’m so glad she survived her challenges during her growing years in Hollywood. ❤🎉
Does anyone remember what happened a few nights later? There was some kind of outside filmed sketch ending with Dave riding a horse thru the countryside. He came upon this little church in the woods & walked in on a wedding taking place. He lifts the veil from the bride who turns out to be Drew & they get married. It was hilarious!
What I love about Drew Barrymore is her girl next door personality. She doesn't let her family's status as Hollywood icons cloud her image as your average, ordinary every day girl.
She would never get away with this today, never. The comment would be “ What about Janet Jackson ?!! Y’all Whyte people so Razist” She would be canceled out of spite, because Janet got in trouble, “ Equality” you know
I remember being in love with her when I was 5 years old in ET she's 3 years older than me. My mom laughed, she told my aunt he's got the hots for the little girl in E.T. I was so embarrassed. Lmfao
Drew was about 7 years old when Dave Letterman started his late night show on NBC in 1982. So I would imagine that it would've been super awkward to see her do that from his perspective. I mean, if I was Dave, I would be thinking, "I've watched this girl grow up!"
Oh oh oh, and there's more famous MEMORABLE clips of them 2 together on his show, too! Both are sooooo great ❤ together, funny as f! 😂. If i remember correctly 🤔, Drew had major crush on lettermen!
She’s perfectly 20 yrs old. It’s hard to remember being this young and sweet.
And High
“Sweet”? Really? Wow
I love you Drew Barrymore 😊
And coked up. She was geeked to the gills in this.
@@stacie2695 I would say she was being groomed. No humility or self respect. The drug issues in her life say a lot.... to my observing.
She's months older than me and she looks like such a flapper in this interview, some timeless jewel from the 1920's. She was so very beautiful and she still is, but we all get older. What a piece of time, what a moment to love.
She has the features of her grandmother (who was a big star in the 1920s, Dolores Costello) in her face when she was younger
No father would ever want their daughter doing this. Woman are just cringe.
Same age as drew too.. loved her whole life read little girl lost several times loved ET as a kid.. and would love to be friends with her she's so cool and fun and nice!.. and bit cray cray which is always a fun friend to have. She's matured into a responsible mum now but still funny to watch.
Drew Barrymore is a diva. She has been gorgeous all of her life, no plastic surgeries needed. 🥰🥰🥰 I love all her movies, guest roles, and her TV show.
See if her nose still looks the same
All natural
50 first dates.
She can do anything for money just a dancer in a bar..dont worship her..

Drew was so full of energy/ her 90s vibe was infectious
She was on something
So full of cocaine
@@malumello17she drank pretty heavy in those days
She was full of cocaine !!! But stil she is so cute !!!
Her demeanor is infectious.
When Drew Barrymore asks, "Would you like me to do a dance for you?", the answer is always Hell Yeah!
My answer would be "Up to you".

A very rock and roll moment for television
There are a few, a very few, personalities that must be loved. Drew Barrymore is one of them.
I love the 90’s, when I was in my 20’s. And being free like that was fun!
I miss the 90's feel too. I remember feeling it, even though I was only 10, I remember the feeling of simplicity and as drew says in a later interview: "a freedom to be spontaneous and vulnerable".... without Karens whipping out their cell phones...
Indeed. The 70s were great too! Eighties were ok. Then the music scene changed in the 90d and I was so relieved. Just couldn't stand hair bands.👍✌️🎶
I felt she was high though it was actually unsafe compared to now
I'm in my very early 20's and never felt free in my life. What's your secret?
Nah these are the people who destroyed the industry. They groomed Drew since E.T she is one of the most wholesome beautiful natural woman alive. Yet they destroyed her.
Drew did that very well - funny, yet graceful !
One of the best! Thanks for sharing these memories w/ everyone Dave!
I remember this, it was an amazing piece of late show history! Drew is awesome!
I remember this but I thought she flashed him longer..and Dave kept saying ‘thank yooou..’. I don’t remember Drew flashing him briefly and just sitting down. Hm.
Drew is a beautiful pretty lady, but this was a dumb, self-degrading thing she did.
@@DVGomes Drew was only 20 y/o when she did this..kids do dumb things. She didn’t have good parental role models and had a wild young life. Thankfully, she seems to be a good parent to her own two daughters.
Now she loves transvestites that claim they are actual women. Not so awesome anymore.
She then realised the error of her ways
One more button got did up
The skirt crept lower and lower
And drew became just like everyone else
I was 15 when this first aired. Drew was/is a dream.
I was 10, and I instantly fell in love with her lol
I was 12 and i was already in love with her
I was 78 and fell in love with her too.
I'm falling in love with her everyday.....in my bathroom.
@@AFMMD-q8 💀
That’s what you call a good day at the office 😂
I love her so much shes so sincere

She was hanging out with Courtney alot during this time period while she was on tour with Lolapolooza. She's Francis's godmother btw 💕💜💕
She's so genuine

She is my favourite artist until now, she was humble and and tolerant, her face is timeless by age.
Because of the Dylan Mulvaney thing?? She lost a lot of points with me over that??
Until now?
Tragic
As Lettermans life flashes before his eyes.
I’m reading her book Wildflower and she mentions this moment. Crazy to be able to get insight of what was going through her mind when she did this lol
@Billy Loomis what's your favorite scary movie
Her choice. I wish everyone would stop making a big deal about it. They're just breasts.
@Billy Loomis I assume you're referring to Janet Jackson?
Women lacking self worth crave attention. As do men. Wonder how her dad felt after he saw this. Probably not too great.
@@cherylmckelvey9816 her parents weren’t the best
This is how 20 years old should be. Sweet, humble, excited about life, and free.
This is so 90s !!!
Omg the 90’s was so crucial with Drew in it. Love her ❤️ 💕 💗 don’t know what we would have done without her!
One of the greatest moments of late night history 😅
FACTS!!!!
What I love about Drew Barrymore is her girl next door personality. She doesn't let her family's status as Hollywood icons cloud her image as your average, ordinary every day girl.
“Happy Da, Birthday Ve!”
(The couple with the shirts that Dave noticed.)
I love her smile and everything 😮
God I loved the 90’s
She was amazing back then. I loved her. I met two girls at a rave once that looked just like her. Great partying with those girls.
we were all so young and sweet inoocent to the world still...
HOLY !!!!! WOW!! Uncaged energy! That was wild! Thanks Drew!
The look on letterman's face was like, Homina Homina, WA WA WA. 🤣
Pow right in the kisser
Never seen Dave speechless
Drew in the 90's happy and free
Did she sit on a sticker or that part of the pants? 😂
Thank you!! I saw this and was like oof wait stop... Is that what I think it is...?
That’s why I’m watching this video now! Saw a clip on tiktok and was like-wait a minute-is that umm 🤔
I need answers!
I think it's a weirdly placed hole in her pants.....90s were weird
Her mic
When the word CRINGE was used way back then, love it💕
somehow i feel privileged to be alive when this occurred. im sure my 11 month old self snapped at this exact moment
Remember watching this live maybe with grandparents or other family 😂😂
On April 12, 1995, I was born, and a couple of hours later, Drew Barrymore flashed David Letterman.
Dave was pretty composed afterwards, all things considered.
Love her she’s so pretty and cute
Best guest ever. I’ve never liked David letterman, he controls the narrative too much- she ripped it out of his hands 😂❤
That's his job.
If you liked this one you'll love Harmony Korine's 3 interviews with him. He bullies Letterman so hard 😭
This is one of the greatest TV moments ever.
Best freaking clip EVER! I remember this one too! Yeeeeee, so cool
I’m here thanks to Douglas Murray and the madness of crowds
I remember watching this live. I was 14 and she was just... *swoon*.
ICONIC
Boyfriend is 'like a father to me and he looks at me like I'm his little girl'
OMG
i love how she says that speilberg is like a father to her and him and letterman are exactly the same age
His face! Priceless! 😂
This was classic
Oh I have loved Drew for years 💕🎶
Drew was definitely high imagine her doing that now would love to see that 😂
You don't have to be high to get a little crazy at 21.
@@lizavance 21 is adulthood nobody would do that in their senses atleast on TV even way younger than that
The 90s were a VERY different time to now,and i for one am thankful it wasnt all cancel culture/500 genders/tik tok dances back then
She would never get away with this today, never.
The comment would be “ What about Janet Jackson ?!! Y’all Whyte people so Razist”
She would be canceled out of spite, because Janet got in trouble, “ Equality” you know
Way to go, Dave. 👏
I met Drew at Coachella in 2007. She was a lovely, very friendly lady. 👽✌️
4:06 what's stuck on her pants?
Dave's desk started to raise 4 inches. No wonder he had to sit sideways.
Gotta love Drew
She's a treasure ❤️
She knew how to make a talk show interesting. That's why she got her own TV show.
Frigging LOVE Drew forever!
Think that's the first time I've seen Dave's eyes lol
She was such a stunner at 20
stop! i love little drew
Too cool. Everybody loves this one.
Omg I watched this Bach in Jr high..so funnn..quite a fun personality
When people were not scared to have fun, the good old days.
Dave is spinning and spinning
We had such fun being young❤
This comment made me cry.
Good times
I remember when Morely Safer did the same thing. I cried for three weeks.
Honest , sweet ,, miss these days,,
Madness of Crowds brought me here
Hahaha same!
Same. Stopped mid gym session for this
Drew Berrymore in the 90s is the polar opposite of who she is now
I remember being in love with her when I was 5 years old in ET she's 3 years older than me. My mom laughed, she told my aunt he's got the hots for the little girl in E.T. I was so embarrassed. Lmfao
This is awesome but sad at the same time. My God I miss these days so so much.
Pisces problems.
She’s my birthday twin and I love her :)
That is really amazing of Drew Barrymore! 😀
Dave Letterman discreetly got wood seeing that front and center.
I would, too, if I was sitting in the chair Letterman himself sat in.
Drew was about 7 years old when Dave Letterman started his late night show on NBC in 1982. So I would imagine that it would've been super awkward to see her do that from his perspective. I mean, if I was Dave, I would be thinking, "I've watched this girl grow up!"
Drew Barrymore was my adolescent crush I was totally in love with her
Anyone else here because of The Madness of Crowds?
Oh oh oh, and there's more famous MEMORABLE clips of them 2 together on his show, too! Both are sooooo great ❤ together, funny as f! 😂. If i remember correctly 🤔, Drew had major crush on lettermen!
Dave probably thought ALL his birthdays came at once and not just this one!
I remember watching this and I thought she was eighteen when she did this. Now I see she was in fact 21. This was so wild.
Close to 21 but 20 then
She rocks ❤
Loved this
Just WOW ... Speechless! O.O
His face at 4:16 😂
When you look up cute in the dictionary, this Drew Barrymore comes up.
Drew has always been such a darling. Amazing she turned out so well with such a narcissistic mother.
Im getting happy and crying more often❤❤🎉🎉
Iconic moment
Can never forget this night, was on a handful of really good acid, just wow...lol
madness of crowds
