Drew Barrymore recalls the moment she flashed David Letterman on television: ‘There is TMI’

Drew Barrymore has recalled the moment that she flashed the talk show host David Letterman on television.

The Never Been Kissed star famously appeared on Late Show with David Letterman in 1995 when the 20-year-old danced on Letterman’s desk and lifted up her top in celebration of his birthday.

Reflecting on the memorable scene now, Barrymore told CBS Sunday Morning, “I think if there’s one thing I’ve learned in a very long life in front of people is there is a line.”

The 45-year-old added, “There is TMI. And I kind of know what that line is, and it’s a feeling.”

“I pushed the limits a lot, many different times in my life,” she said. “And I’m very lucky, I know that. I tested, I pushed, probably too far many a time.”

After starring in Steven Spielberg’s 1982 classic E.T. when she was only seven years old, the actor went on to play leading roles in other iconic movies including Scream (1996), The Wedding Singer (1998), and Charlie’s Angels (2000). 

Most recently, Barrymore starred in the horror-comedy Netflix series Santa Clarita Diet which aired for three seasons before it came to an end last year. 

The actor is launching her own daytime talk show titled The Drew Barrymore Show. The first episode airs today (14 September).
