30 years ago, a 20-year-old Drew Barrymore made headlines when she danced on David Letterman's desk at the end of their interview.

Now, three decades later, she's reprised the stunt with Stephen Colbert, removing her blazer to reveal a "We Heart Stephen" shirt before climbing up on The Late Show desk and dancing while the band plays.

"Well, Drew," laughs Colbert as Barrymore finishes the desk choreography by lying down. "That's all we've got time for."
