These highlights have been artisanly-produced, carefully-curated, and chosen completely at random by an old computer that used to pick numbers for the New York Lotto back in the 90’s.

Julia’s laugh/giggle is bigger than life and so beautiful.

[@yohojones]

Even with only one movie out you could see Julia was a super star. At 22 it was apparent that that smile and charisma were going to take her places.

Cutting to Al Marr was priceless. Such a fun atmosphere for a talk show. Dave IS the greatest

[@wannabe4668]

Miss this show. In this studio before he got in the big studio. Staying up late to watch this falling asleep and awoken to my brother laughing so loud he couldn’t contain himself. Actually one of the few good memories I have of him.

[@brandonbrook9664]

Well your in luck 'cause there's plenty of stuff on KZbin to keep your good memories of David Letterman going forever, and then some.

[@hutch1197]

You could tell Dave was smitten from day one. This blossomed into nearly 30 appearances by Julia on his show.

It's hard not to fall in love with her lol

Julia Roberts is always pure gold.

At 9:20, you see, THIS is the reason why I love watching old reruns of the LETTERMAN show, when another celebratie is in the greenroom and comes out unannounced, it's always great.You never know what's gonna happen.

I love her naturally curly hair I hated when she started straightening it later in her career

Thanks for this one. It was fun to watch and didn't feel setup or made up. The dog going in and out of frame and Dave's shoes :). Nice that Daryl Hannah came out. Big hair and big coats back in the day. So young

Julia Roberts, and Daryl Hannah are both10s!!!!! Totally Gorgeous.

[@ponygirlusa]

Well, you're half right. JR never was blonde, look up her childhood photos. That enormous mouth and beady eyes and bushy eyebrows? No. DH is a thoroughbred who is so feminine and sexy, as well as a talented actress, easy and natural in her own skin. She doesn't work at it like that walking orifice. She is a 10, JR a 7 at best on a good day, in my opinion.

[@Model_Roe]

Julia looks great now but in her youth a real looker

[@MedalionDS9]

The beginning of the on-going flirtation between Dave and Julia Roberts

[@kingofmadprops]

I was going to say she really seemed like she had a thing for Dave. Also…she was 22 in 1989?!?!

[@bboyStuntZ]

You caught that too

[@asantejsaymyname3537]

They probably had an organization after the show pigs

[@EtoTheKay]

JR...absolutely gorgeous. Ever since I saw Pretty Woman as a 10 yr old in 1990 (don't ask lol) I was obsessed with her. It took the entirety of the 90s for me to get over her lol. Still a fan and not obsessed anymore, but she'll always be my first love hehe

[@Model_Roe]

I became a fan after watching Steel Magnolias and saw Pretty Woman after that

[@robertking7269]

you're the best Dave. Upstaged by a dog a pig and a beautiful spirit. You kept the bubble machine running and didn't miss a punchline opportunity.

She has the best smile

[@fulanodetal7229]

their friendships look so genuine that makes me wonder if they are still friends.

[@Chinaski1]

Probably not

Could she be more adorable? :)

[@allisonmalone4618]

To think DH would go on to play Elle Driver in Kill Bill is just amazing

[@Frankincensedjb123]

I forget just how small that studio was. Kind of looks like a cable TV show. This is back when Dave was good, the early years.

[@brycemcneil4404]

I know that she might be too ungodly famous to consider it but a Julia Roberts sit down of memories (e.g. "Julia Roberts Talks About Her Appearances with Dave") would be absolute gold.

[@jeffandersen7397]

@7:25 probably NOT the first time Paul has asked "would you like me to scent the pig a little bit"

[@user-wk8mw6to2g]

Man! Julia Roberts was really pretty back then. Her best role ever was as "Daisy Araujo" in "Mystic Pizza".

[@Model_Roe]

I still think her best role was Pretty Woman she was so adorable in that movie and looked incredible

She never talks about the Mystic Pizza film today in 2022.

[@rjunk12349]

Wow. I've never seen this interview. It 100% explains the sexual tension between Dave and Julia all these years. Notice she said she was 'tossing pencils into the ceiling?' Holy cow. THAT'S why Dave started that? Good for him.

[@EtoTheKay]

I wouldn't go so far as to think there was sexual tension. I don't think JR liked Dave like that. Dave maybe, but not her. I think they just had a purely plantonic and flirty relationship as the years went on.

[@Model_Roe]

I don't find Dave attractive whatsoever lol 😂 but I do see it between them

[@Model_Roe]

​@@EtoTheKay Dave was a perv lol he was always shooting his shot with attractive female guests he did the same with all the Supermodels on his show 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@gregben4002]

Wait, Julia Robert's hair is 'naturally blonde, kind of dark'? Mystic Pizza and Steel Magnolias are really good movies. Back when late night shows were good.

[@andrewhamell2274]

"Nowank and eat clams."

[@ownpetard8379]

I got that. Also, Julia didn't hear or understand what he said, even after repeating. Thought she might have a hearing limitation, but haven't heard anything about that.

[@claumeister1]

Julia’s laugh on camera is exactly the same as her real laugh. And it’s so appealing. She’s done some fine acting, but you can’t learn, or fake, that natural appeal. She was born with it, along with that big sexy mouth, that elegant nose, and that Botticelli hair. That’s right, people, life is not fair.

[@keefriff99]

She was legitimately laughing at Dave too. He must have felt on top of world seeing a beautiful young woman crack up at his humor like that.

[@caitigrove3548]

She laughs like that when Richard gere shuts the box for the necklace on her hand in pretty woman

[@trbrm6319]

Guys did you know that Daryl Hannah was the choice to play Julia Robert's role in 'Pretty Woman' 1990 before Julia 🙂

[@brandonbrook9664]

From way back in the day when Julia's brother was more famous than she was.

[@Model_Roe]

That must have been waaaaaay back in the day lol because Julia all throughout the nineties was the biggest movie star in the world

[@edub9930]

[@arnolt2590]

Daryl Hannah seemed really shy ?

[@beethovensfidelio]

Daryl Hannah suffered from social anxiety disorder (due in large part to her being autistic), so understandably she dreaded doing interviews which are a big part of Hollywood since it’s both show and business.

[@Model_Roe]

She always struck me as shy Julia on the other hand seems very outgoing very comfortable in front of the audience

[@mediascribble]

[@ziggyff693]

from then on Julia became a regular fixture of the show...Dave tried to set her up on a date even...and she guest hosted during Dave's bout with Shingles

[@mediascribble]

The answer you're searching for about wearing Debbie's perfume is NO Julia.

[@ownpetard8379]

Julia giving gorgeous looks toward the end of video. Incredible beauty. And so much at home with herself. {Ladies, a tip: There is nothing sexier than a women at ease with herself. So, even if you are not that way, if you can fake it, you will be the center of male attention.} Happy she made friends with Daryl Hannah. Daryl and Olympia Dukakis were the only non-Southern women in Steel Magnolias. Sally Field's mother is from Alabama, I recall. Shirley MacLaine is from Virginia. Dolly Parton of course from Tennessee. Julia Roberts is from Georgia, near Atlanta. Olympia's character I think was said to be from Savannah. There are Greek folks in Savannah since the early 1900s if not earlier. Don't know if the story was tweaked to accommodate her being in the film. Steel Magnolias is a chick flick, with the main attraction being the interplay of the women, and each one's individual performance. The dialogue and plot are not great but the ensemble makes it a good view. Julia and Sally did the heavy lifting, but Dolly, Shirley, Daryl and Olympia were a good/great casting combination and pulled their weight.

[@Model_Roe]

Agree 💯 I remember every guy was in love with Julia Roberts and to your point despite being conventionally attractive and thin she never wore loads of makeup or got surgery or wore super tight revealing clothing she was always just herself and you could tell she was comfortable in her own skin I'm sure that's a big reason why men found her so appealing
