Late-night talk shows have provided countless memorable moments over the years, blending humor, controversy, and unexpected surprises. From Jimmy Kimmel’s ongoing feud with Matt Damon to Madonna’s profanity-laden interviews, the late-night landscape has seen it all.
One infamous incident involved Heidi Klum’s unintended strip tease on The Tonight Show in 2003. During the interview, Klum’s bra unexpectedly detached, prompting a swift rescue from hosts Jay Leno and Martin Short, who offered their suit jackets as cover.
Another standout moment occurred when Nicole Kidman confessed her crush on Jimmy Fallon during an interview, much to Fallon’s surprise. And who could forget Drew Barrymore’s spontaneous table dance on The Late Show with David Letterman?
Conan O’Brien’s final night as host of The Tonight Show was marked by his extravagant spending of NBC’s money, including purchasing a Bugatti Veyron adorned in a mouse costume.
From Adele crashing the internet with her carpool karaoke session to Marlon Brando giving Larry King an unexpected peck on the lips, late-night talk shows have consistently delivered unexpected and memorable moments throughout the years.
