Welcome to the Letterman CZcams Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show - as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. 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.
I don't think I've ever seen a thirteen-year-old more comfortable and confident at the same time being humble and a regular person.
Humble and regular until she grew up and sued Disney because of the Benjamin's baby!
I thought you were going to say something else.
Millie Bobbi Brown fit that description as a 13yr old. So much charisma as well!
You gotta meet more people dude
..and clever
Acting with more charm and confidence at 13 than I can manage at 52. One of the few young actors who didn’t get messed up and became a national treasure.
"National treasure" is going a bit far, no? Betty White or Tom Hanks or Magic Johnson. Okay. Scarlett Johansson I would call a popular actress.
@@itannoysme3348 actress, actor, basketball player... You know what a national treasure is ?
your mum
It's because she cannot act and carry many emotions. Must be an autistic trait.
I don’t think charm and confidence have much to do with age.
Totally agree
My goodness, she was so poised and articulate. If only we all could be so comfortable in our own skin.
yes exactly
It is called education and the culture that surrounds you
@@robinorhysrhys1562 I get it, you're trying to be flip, but you are actually incorrect. There are lots and lots of well-educated children exposed to culture and few have the confidence and poise at age 13 to conduct themselves in a television interview like Scarlett Johannsen did here. And that's okay. She just had innate gifts to have it together at such a young age. She was special, which is why she was able to handle a career film at such a young age.
@@gmh471 bore off mate it ain’t that deep
@@jboogzdnb Someone says something that is daft, I'm gonna respond.
So poised and well-spoken at 13. I was a complete goofus at that age.
Don't feel too bad...I'm still a goofus at 63.
Still one in my 40’s
Wonder what happened as she grew older, it's like she adapted some reality star Kardashian speak.
@@vb8428 The older she got, and the more public scrutiny she received, the more guarded and less open she became. I can't blame her. I think almost all public figures adopt a public persona... but we can't always compare them them to their younger, more natural posture. Who knows what Meryl Streep was like at 13?
@@jackm4457 Nah, her pal Gordon-Levitt still seems clever and intellectual in interviews.
She’s very sweet, humble and intelligent for her age in this video. Good for her!
She’s 13 here
amazing. I'm so impressed. letterman is throwing all sorts of goofy banter in and she's still able to speak intelligently. I wish I could speak with that much skill. I guess I can banter like an idiot too, but I think a lot between words in tense situations sometimes.
Shes crazy, been married a bunch of times.
@@tonym50195 And she's disengenouos. Her mom is a producer. I think that may of influenced her. 😃 I read that her mom is not successful and pushed Scarlett into acting, hoping she would be.
@@sequoiapark4506 Did you actually watch the interview? She said she wanted to be an actor for as long as she could remember. This clip is from 1998, when "The Horse Whisperer" premiered. Scarlett said she's been acting for five years -- presumably that means professionally, so maybe in commercials or in bit parts in TV and film -- so starting in around 1993.
Melanie Sloan, Scarlett's mother, was indeed a producer. She co-produced "A Love Song for Bobby Long," in 2004 -- well after Scarlett had established her acting credentials. She did support Scarlett in some previous films. That's what a good parent does -- support their child's passion.
The "in Scarlett years" was so quick and intelligent, geez. She's been a pro forever. We're the same age and I cannot imagine having done this in 1998. The most I was doing then was visiting Rupert in the deli.
AND the Dunkin' Donuts 'how many ppl in rat costumes can we get in there?', which arose after the cover of the NY papers had photos of rats running around several stores' front window display cases. When Dave ran out of rat costumes, they sent them out in whatever costumes they had. I would laugh until streams ran down my face.
I thought I'd seen and heard it all when I realized she can sing. Now I'm really impressed with Scarlet. A charmer even at 13 yrs old
Settle down
She was more confident and mature at the age of 13 than most of people I know in their 30s
Not as much as Moon Zappa at 14 tho
you know people in their thirties?
Oh yeah, she is confident enough for a role of clown, I hope she does such stunt now and see what is the outcome of her action would be in India. Her research paper is used as Toilet paper over there.
Always beautiful to see a young person who knows exactly who they are
You are right. They didn't have people confusing them like are youngsters now.
I’m sure you’ve watched a couple of the Natalie Portman at 13 interviews.
@@u.r. what do you mean? Sorry I can't remember much of the video after a year...
@@goldy7678 Tell that to Brooke Shields, Drew Barrymore, Macaulay Culkin, etc...
surprise to see her this young. very witty and confident, great conversation
My admiration for Scarlett went to the next level today after watching this!! She aced Letterman!
I think the term, old soul may apply here. Nothing but respect for this woman it's been wonderful to see her talented efforts over the years.
Aww... So adorable!
It's like she was born smart and pretty.
You can tell she had great things coming for her in life.
@@TheActionStack Yes, and let us not forget the stupid and grotesque, who are even less adorable.
To see a 13 year old this natural, confident and articulate would let anyone believe that she has a great future waiting for her. And how right they would be.
I remember thinking “Horse whisperer” being a awesome movie and she certainly added to the ensemble cast. But I never saw this interview (while the movie was being promoted), no wonder she’s had a long and consistent career.
I agree 100%
She had such a great temperament, not getting carried away or go success in your head. Surely beginnings of a great actor 👏👏👏
Pretty confident for 13 years old and very well spoken 👏 interesting to see this
I remember the first time I watched The Horse Whisperer. When Scarlet said "Who's going to love me?" I bawled my eyes out. I also bawled my eyes out the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th time I saw The Horse Whisperer. I was an instant fan and still am.
Are you mentally ill? It's a dumb movie.
Wait that's an actual movie
Its hard to believe a 13 year old could be so poised, intelligent, mature, witty, but here it is. At 13 my head was so far up my a*se. I'm in my mid forties now, married with kids, good career, and i still could not lace this kids boots. Watching this its hardly surprising she went on to have such a stellar career.
I’m sure that’s not true so many people sell themselves short today don’t be one of them. We all have our shortcomings but having a family and all that entails in a loving atmosphere is something to regard yourself as being very successful!
Her and Leonardo
Hey. It's fun being a big kid. We can't take life too seriously.
@@johnschaefer2238 She's uplifting Scarlet, not shortselling herself. Not everyone is a narcissist.
I always like Scarlet Johannson, I never knew she started so young. She is naturally humble.
My favorite movie with here is "Luck".
@@johnarnold893 I liked, Ghost Town (I think it was called), King Henry VIII, and the one with Bill Murray in Japan. Those are the only ones I seen, and like her in all of them. I especially like her throaty voice, it's very sexy.
No need to tell us generic stuff. We all as men like her
@@BigBoss-rw4mn 'generic stuff'? I didn't send you to the drugstore. 'Big Boss'😅😘
@@bonanzatime that’s nice joke my man. Take potato 🥔 for being creative joker. 😂🤣
Talent, poise and maturity showed through from the very first. Truly a star.
Great, normal, person. Self confident, and just a nice person.
SHE NOT YOUR ODINARY NORMAL PERSON EVEN THOUGH SHE APPEARS TO BE
lmao "in Scarlett time" , what a brilliant answer from a young person.
Letterman always interviewed the younger guests so well....and Scarlett's parents must have been so proud. Wow.
Crazy to think just five years later she is in Tokyo with Bill Murray in Lost in Translation, and 16 years later she got to pull a gun on Redford in Winter Soldier. :)
You mean Booie?
Yes, that tends to be how time works.
“Dr. Manhattan explains Scarlet Johansson”
@@VicenzoV what is creepy about lost in translation? It's a very sweet movie.
Also The Man Who Wasn't There
I never assumed she was 13, until she said.....the confidence and the attitude for that age ….that's awesome
Scarlett has always been a native New Yorker. She has always had attitude and swag. I love her to death. She never rode horses, but she's ridden the subways and that is a whole lot more impressive. She's charming.
She has a face that didn't need surgery like almost all these new Hollywood actresses. Hope she didn't get any.... Doesn't look like she did... Same lips, jawline, nose, cheek bones... Naturally pretty.
She kind of looks like Kristen Stewart here. Both beautiful.
She definitely had a nose job
but on the other hand.....
@@davidboda1640 What's on the other hand Dave??!!
Nobody Needs plastic surgery
Lots of people commenting about how wild it is to see Scarlett at 13. Well, you need to watch the movie. It's amazing and ScarJo is REALLY good in it. It's not about horses. As Redford's character says, "I don't help people with horse problems. I help horses with people problems."
I had no idea that Johansson and Redford had acted together before. Winter Soldier must have been a reunion of sorts for them. That's pretty cool.
Saw the horse whisperer years back and enjoyed her performance. However never saw this interview until now. What a lovely charming young lady in this video. Somewhat nervous but so engaging, funny comfortable in the spotlight. No surprise today she is one of our finest actresses. Loved her in the Horse Whisperer and what she’s done since!
Have seen her in other interviews, namely with Craig Ferguson. She’s just so natural, not phony or pretentious. Have become a fan
Scarlett is so beautiful and she still looks exactly the same right now. Wow.
She was great in "Ghost World" (2001) with Thora Birch & Steve Buscemi.
Everytime I see old clips of this show I truly miss it. Letterman was so talented and really made these interviews funny. This was 90's Dave and he really had it then. The later years of this show was kind of o.k but the late 90's was wonderful. Pre internet times for many.
90s Lettermen was damn good.
In his early years he was just goofy much of the time. Which was okay; he was the follow up to the much more serious Carson. But after Johnny retired, Dave came into his own, having watched and learned from Johnny. He was Carson's true 'heir apparent', and the tonight show lost something forever when he retired. Fortunately, we had Dave on CBS to keep us going. Today's group of late night hosts still haven't mastered the art of shutting up and letting their guest speak without interrupting them, trying to insert their own nonsensical comments into the guest's answers to questions.
Letterman was the Man!!
And 80s Dave Letterman as well. That's when I started watching. I'd be hard to wake up in the morning for school because I stayed up watching johnny Carson or Dave Letterman
EXACTLY. The current version of Dave is like a degenerate compared to the late-80's high-energy, super focused version.
Very mature for her age. And intelligent.
I remember seeing her for the first time in Home Alone 3. She's come a long way since then.
She looks confident, smart, well spoken and obviously pretty sweet. I am very interested to see how her career pans out.
Lol… oh my… some people…
You surely know how her career panned out but that's not my case. I've been googling "Letterman" for a couple of days and got this video suggested. I don't know who the girl is but liked het a lot. And I'm going to Google her to actually know how her career panned out! 😉
@@Brandespada shes the highest paid actress now
Some peoples kids don’t know a joke when they read one…
Meh, mediocre. She’s headed to a “Where are they now?” VH1 special for sure.
She looks EXACTLY the same except for the voice which is totally different! This is crazy🤯
she doesn't look the same, c'mon
@@martaxo1625 Idk too many folks who look THIS much similar to their adult years after 30 yrs!! dang she's only 13 here and can easily pass as 18. But my point was that her voice totally sounds different that how she sounds today
@@upfront2375 Exactly lol. if you look at how I looked when I was 13 and now (I'm 23), you wouldn't believe it's the same person. Whereas for her, her adult facial structure was already formed
@@johnpaul4301 I'm 40 and I have ppl that I dunno coming up to me telling me that we were in elementary school together, so I kinda am in that same ship with Scarlett but surely NOT to this extend I mean christ! It certainly looks like this could be done by AI how her face and even body a lil bit don't match her age. She's lucky tho, I call this a "Traci Lord" effect, she was not so lucky to look 18 at 10.. unfortunately.
@@martaxo1625 he doesnt mean exactly the same but very similar... most are changing at age 40+
My god. She went from this - to the highest paid woman actor in the US - now has a net worth of $165 million.
Highest paid for 2 years but now that honor goes back to Jennifer Lawrence. Once the Marvel roles died, there goes the big bucks.
Some guys value people based on their bank account... 😭
I first saw her in Manny & Lo. Fantastic movie and performance.
@@mattmalone524 goes back to? Is Jennifer Lawrence getting another higher paid role?
You gotta love those well-rounded folks, the truly deep-thinkers, who reduce the value of human beings to their "net worth."
Certainly explains the death spiral trajectory this country continues to head down.
When the shows used to be pure quality and amazing entertainment
Miss those times
Scarlet is an amazing person
I've been watching her films since "Lost in Translation". Scarlett was 19 then. Sofia Coppola managed to create that film felt like a literal literature--a short story. Love that film!
Wow I did not realize she was so young in that film. It is a masterpiece and one of my favorites!
@@frankspence8723 it is, indeed. Really feels like watching an art piece, that one.
@@bhoqeem1975 “Evelyn Waugh was a man”
@@frankspence8723 Huh?
@@bhoqeem1975 haha, just a quote from the film.
"wellll....thats debatable....you know".....such a double her age response, very mature way of speaking
Like her character 'Lucy', she seems to always have had access to 99% of her brains capacity.
My god, I am 39 and not sure if I'm that eloquent now, let alone at 13
I love her husky voice that balances out her youthful radiance. She is this harmony of down to earth and beauty which is what is unique to her.
She had a lot of the Kristen Stewart facial mannerisms back then. They could've passed for sisters.
Kristen just copied her
@@tpsnm8454 no. Scarlett is acting her age here and Kristen was acting her age when she was promoting Twilight.
are you kidding me? Kristen was the queen of awkward and Scarlet here is the most confident 13 year old's I've came across
Not to be mean, but Scarlet was prettier than Kristen even back then.
Definitely like a cool big sister 😎
She is so smart. “The Horse Whisperer” is an all time favorite movie.
wow. that's amazing. so self confident at 13. I didn't know that. Respect Scarlett johansson!
Scarlett Johansson was just simply amazing. so poised, so smart so confident and so personable. Letterman always rocks and knows how to make interviews interesting. 😊
You think he conducted a good interview?
@@wowwowwow8765 It's obvious to everyone else that he did.
She's charming. I'm charmed by her all over again. She should be in movies.
She'll never make it....
How about Letterman? He was a great interviewer - breaking ground with getting people comfortable, even disarming contentious guests and eliciting meaningful answers with his aw shucks midwestern charm. His was the peak of late night talk shows.
That girl is gonna go somewhere. I can just tell!😊
ROFL
Really?
@@D-Boss-1958 yeah, she's superhero material!
Naked
Even at 13, she had a mature, throaty voice.
I wonder if she still called him Booey on the set of The Winter Soldier.
Ok so she has always been like this. Wow. She was probably born just talking like this, very mature, confident person. I'm so impressed.
I remember watching Horse Whisperer with my mom and saying, that little girl is going places. And here we are. Talented from the start.
I didnt....I thought when is this movie ever ending ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz
@@andiman45 I thought it was really quite a touching film, a bit self-adulatory with Redford's character (like in Spy Game), but meaningful regarding the power of healing. I found it superior to most of the typical hero guy destroys army of bad guys shoot 'em up, geared for the ADD crowd...
@@fenwayify I must have slept thru that part LOL
Cute, very cheerful, funny and truthful.
And 16 years later she again starred with Robert Redford in Captain America 2.
Her adorableness then is equal to her adult beauty now. What a cutie.
So poised at 13, she was destined for greatness
But instead she just continued being an actress.
@@markpayne2217, someone who understands.
@@markpayne2217 There is greatness in every career. Even if you just wash dishes in a restaurant, you can still be the greatest dish washer in the world. Have you ever been great in anything? LOL
@@trumplostlol3007 I actually happen to be the greatest dish washer in the world ;)
@@markpayne2217 How is the alternate reality like? LOL I suppose it is ruled by apes or something. LOL
This is so funny seeing this, she acts and sounds exactly the same, she looks the same, very mature, very herself she always stayed the same
Id sit for weeks just listening to her.. I've seen nothing so Precious like her... I now understand her beautiful message. She is 1OAK! 💕💞
An absolute sweetheart. What a charmer.
She's nervous, who wouldn't be? but her remarkable acting ability and intelligence are obvious.
Scarlett Johansson was so beautiful, down to earth and adorable girl back in the days ❤️♥️❤️💕💖💖
She was, and continues to be, solo beautiful 💐❤️! ...inside and out. We love 😘 you Scarlett Johansson!!
Fifty-one movies and counting! I was blown away by her lead in "Lucy"!!
I loved that movie. The scope of the action scenes were brilliant, with the biggest scenes up front and her action involvement slowly becoming less and less towards the end. Just amazing.
Are we including Ghost in the Shell?
@@neverdown222 - Absolutely!
How about Under the Skin?
Many people are commenting on how poised, confident, and comfortable she seems at 13. I don't think it's a coincidence that she grew up in a large family with 3 siblings (including 2 brothers). Siblings help to socialize you because 1) they have their own priorities and won't always (or ever) treat you like a precious little prince/princess, and 2) even when you have a fight, you can't just cut them off; you have to learn to live with each other. These are valuable life lessons that too many kids these days don't receive because they're the only child in the family, and surrounded by helicopter parents, as well as an over-zealous safety culture.
Agreed. The economy affects the way kids turn out in some unexpected ways.
There’s billions of people with similar family dynamics to ScarJo. There’s only one ScarJo. Not everything needs to be social commentary about how bad the youth has become.
She looks and sounds like a SMART 18-19 year old.
If you’ve not seen it, definitely check out the earlier movie she mentions, “Manny and Lo”.
Highly recommended.
@Nichael Cramer I have it on DVD! It's not bad.
Wow...Scalett as a kid. I remember her in this film. Sweet kid didn't know she'd one day be the queen of Hollywood.
when scarlet saw redford on the set of winter soldier and shouted boooey!!!!!
everyone else must hv been so confused
She always wanted to be an actress, she started young, and to this day she hasn't had one monumental role. Now THATS amazing!
LMFAO careful you don't cut yourself on that edge champ.
She was so bright at her age and witty too. She could have had a future in comedy. Looking at this makes me so sad to see the state of 13-year-olds these days. She was a delight, she was mannerable, articulate, she was smart, she was witty. I wish the world could go back to to then.
We all envied that. It is called education and the culture that surrounds you
@@robinorhysrhys1562 too bad today's education is more like indoctrination of political fallacies (rather than reading, writing, math, and reasoning based on fact).
@@shellchenonceau6987I assume you're not in school currently, but I am. My math class is just math, my English class is just English, my biology class is just biology, and so on. Biology is my favorite because we're focusing a lot on organism classification (taxonomy and cladistics) this semester. I never understood why people nowadays act like math class is suddenly not math anymore. I've not had the experience of having my Trigonometry and Calculus classes suddenly talking about politics.
The simple fact is that highly intelligent, personable people are a very small percentage of the population at any juncture in time.
I miss Dave and Paul. The Late show was special and feels like a bygone era now.
agree 100% actually I now never watch it anymore. Current presenters make the show more about them then about the guest..
@@computerjantje I hate the current MY LATE SHOW with Stephen Colbert LOL!🙃📺👎
@@SuperMarioBrosIII Colbert used to be good in the Colbert Report, but ever since he has done the late show, he has become the same kind of character that he used to parody.
- 13
- So you are just a kid?
- Sure why not.
She is so stinking cute! What a sweetie pie. I love her charisma. Her parents must have been so proud. Great kid…
Dave you need to stop it! 😂
Wow. What a grounded human being and so bright
What a sweet, intelligent girl. I hope she hasn’t changed very much over the years.
She is precious!
It's scrambling my brain that she shot *Lost in Translation* just 4 years later.
6 years
@@benlawson5939 This interview was on May 20th 1998. Lost in Translation began shooting on September 29th 2002. So, 4 years and 4 months from this interview. She clearly says she's 13 here. She was 17 during the one month shoot.
And the love interest of Bill Murray. (LOL)
She would have made a good Meryl Silverburgh back in the mid 00s
I had dinner with Chef Ashbell at 12. He still remembers that dinner because of how well spoken & intelligent I was. It took me until I was around 25 to figure out most people weren't that way... So there is a drawback. You eventually get an ego due to your naivety.
I will never believe that this interview was not rehearsed and written, there are no pauses in it
They always do prep for every interview on these shows. They go over what’s going to be discussed, so yes, they are rehearsed.
What a trip to see her here so young while I’m thinking of her as Black Widow!
Scarlett, inteligente y simpática... 😇
Such casual confidence. Most kids that age (including me) aren't nearly as articulate. In Lost in Translation, she held her own when acting with Bill Murray. When she was named for Black Widow it sounded perfect. And she was.
Been in love with her for many years , not the obsessive kind tho 😆 she’s beautiful and talented. ❤
Why do parents make their children wait - when they so clearly WANT to do something?
A smart, humble, squared away 13 year old, grew into the same as an adult. Come from a good platform and it carries with you through life.
When the two of them look at the camera in mock shock. LOL. They had many more interviews. Friends.
She was already stunningly beautiful...
Damn comparing her to me as 13 years old its like comparing Space Shuttle and Bicycle! How some kids can be so outspoken and smart!
Lovely very young Scarlett.
My daughter's the same age, she makes me proud... Scarlett's parents must be so proud of their kiddo
I pretty much had her penciled in as a future superstar when I saw the movie. She was just such a beautiful kid I didn't see her catching the ugly virus as an adult. It's literally amazing how similar she looks now at 37 to when she was 13.
cringe
@@ChrisVallejos Milllennial
Why cringe?! She looks the same. Some people’s features don’t change that much.
@@ChrisVallejosget a haircut hippy
She was gorgeous even then!
What a beautiful woman
I would've asked her more questions about her role in the film, and how she liked the story and the script, and working with such a gifted
actor like Mr. Redford etc. Letterman always seems to wanna interject with far too much humor so you don't get a better feel for the
guest. She's very pretty, and quite intelligent.
Man, such a young age. Scarlett has always been my favorite actress.
