COFFEE BEANS & BEINGS / TO BE THE HUMBLE COFFEE CUP ON DAVID LETTERMAN'S TV DESK

This year we celebrate the 30th anniversary of one of the great moments in television history. 

 On a fun April day in 1995, David Letterman was behind his desk in Manhattan’s legendary Ed Sullivan Theater hosting a Late Show With David Letterman lineup that included Al Franken, Plácido Domingo Jr. ... and Drew Barrymore. Not that anyone remembers who the other guests were 30 years later — that night belonged solely to Barrymore. 

 Midway through the interview, the then 20-year-old actress climbed up on Letterman’s desk and flashed the host to the cheers of the crowd and the befuddled shock of the birthday boy. 

The moment was instantly enshrined not only in Late Show history, but also in late night television history.
