Nearly 30 years after Drew Barrymore<\/a> made late-night history by hopping on David Letterman<\/a>\u2019s desk during a 1995 Late Show visit<\/a>, she returned to the Ed Sullivan Theater Thursday night with a wink to the past\u2014and a nod to the show\u2019s current host, Stephen Colbert<\/a>.<\/p>\n Barrymore was there to promote Season 6 of The Drew Barrymore Show, which launches next Monday. In the middle of her conversation with Colbert, she teased the audience with a callback to her infamous striptease-for-Letterman moment.<\/p>\n This time, the dance was a little more restrained. Still, she found her way on top of Colbert\u2019s desk. With the crowd cheering, Barrymore pulled off her jacket to reveal a shirt emblazoned across the back with the message \u201cWe love Stephen.\u201d<\/p>\n The moment grew out of playful banter. After Barrymore mentioned her history with Letterman, Colbert said, \u201cI am only mildly insulted you\u2019ve never got on the desk.\u201d<\/p>\n Barrymore quickly shot back, \u201cDo you want me to do a little dance for you?\u201d Colbert tried to brush it off\u2014\u201cIt was just a joke. I promise you. No, next time. Next time.\u201d\u2014but Barrymore wasn\u2019t about to let it slide.<\/p>\n Moments later, she was dancing on his desk, remarking to Colbert, \u201cIt\u2019s different now.\u201d<\/p>\n Colbert, caught somewhere between amusement and alarm, laughed it off as the audience roared. \u201cI love that shirt,\u201d he told her as the segment wrapped.<\/p>\n The Drew Barrymore Show returns next week with a starry guest lineup that includes Jennifer Aniston, Issa Rae, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Michael Douglas\u2014and David Letterman himself. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photos: Alan Singer\/CBS, Scott Kowalchyk\/CBS Nearly 30 years after Drew Barrymore made late-night history by hopping on David…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":121781,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[49,48,75,348],"class_list":["post-121780","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=121780"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121780\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/121781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=121780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=121780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=121780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"YouTube](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1757076072_145_maxresdefault.jpg\"\/)
