You don’t have to be a fan of Drew to see she is a genuinely kind hearted intelligent woman. She’s absolutely lovely.

I remember watching this on Letterman that night. At the time, Drew had a 'wild child' reputation, so when it happened, I wasn't surprised. If anything, to me, it came off as wild, but cute gesture. Had she faced the audience, maybe the reaction would have been different, but it was all for David, and in previous interviews, he had always treated Drew with kindness. I'm so proud to witness the woman she has become. Beautiful inside and out.

[@yukimaruzam]

Listening to Dave talk. I think he misses being on television. He delivers so well and with so much patience and impact. Not to take anything away from Drew. But Dave seems to be in his element.

[@waterwind2266]

I'm not sure if it's even television that he misses; I think he just really enjoys talking to people. That's why I really love the Netflix show, he has such in-depth personal conversations with his guests.

Doesn't it always feel like yesterday? I can't grasp time. It's baffling. Will say those times were awesome back then. I don't care what anyone says. Drew looks better and better with age. You can sense that she is herself on screen.

Agreed. She's a cute, kind, individual. Genuine.

[@mikestevenson576]

It wasn't a Leno burn. It was saying that he thought it was something special for him and it would be crushing if it turned out that it was something she does on late night shows. If Merv Griffin was still on the air, it easily could've been a Merv reference.

[@NewhamMatt]

​@@mikestevenson576 I think he would favour Leno for a joke like that because the sense of competition over the Tonight Show and the resulting competition between Leno's Tonight Show and Letterman's Late Show make that a significant reference.

And let's all move forward to try and get back to 'normal'.

Always loved Dave. Always loved Drew. Two lovely people

[@cgimovieman]

Dave was one of my many inspirations I chose television and film as a career. I even had a cake at my high school open house just before college, with a caricature of Dave holding my own Top 10 list. I worked in TV for 18 years, but I’ve never had quite the moments that this show did over the years. I’d have absolutely loved to have worked for Dave. I think we have similar senses of quirky irreverent humor, and I’m originally from the Midwest too. I just get him. Only the first 8 years or so of my career were really comfortable, with the next 10 being a see-saw of freelancing with full time work, being out of work, freelancing with partial work, struggling, and most recently and for a long time being unemployed. I’m now 44 and have pretty much lost all hope, but I wish I could have worked on Letterman. It just would have clicked. Drew is another who I grew up with, almost in the same generation. From an early age, Steven Spielberg was and still is my favorite director. So obviously I first was aware of Drew in E.T. like most others. I know she’s had highs and lows, but she’s been one of those celebrities who has always been around who I feel like I know.

[@jtidema]

Kills me when she's talking about her daughters... "Let me just get you set up for life before I throw you in" Wow. Would have been nice if her parents had done that for her. I think she's a really good person.
