But one of the most comments is from a chapter in which the guest was Jennifer Aniston.
It was in 1998 when Aniston was already one of the most popular actresses after the end of the "Friends" series. She was promoting the movie "The Object of My Affection" and attended the Late Show with David Letterman. At one point, the presenter, who is now 73, told the actress: "Forgive me if this is rude, I just want to prove one thing." He then settled behind her with her chair, placed a hand on her neck, and, began to suck on a strand of her hair.
The presenter joked that he would edit that moment and Aniston assured him that "this is something I will never forget." In the minutes that followed, Letterman insisted that she seemed "traumatized" by what had happened. She replied: "I am."
