[hsmjcl]

I do not watch many movies Meryl is in but I love her!!! It's the best actress ever, her academy awards and golden globe nominations through these years can say that!!!

[drawdaniel]

But ya that would be awkward coughing ha but at least she pulled it off good :)

[trew9710]

did anyone else find themselves coughing during this interview

[Smifarino]

Lung infections suck... They're so awkward

[064657943]

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE SONG THAT PLAYS AT THE START

[MsSpider26]

@064657943 no doubt "don't speak"

[Licitari]

TRUE CLASS! Meryl is one of those once in a lifetime people. She is truly one of my rolemodels.

[itcoll]

Doubt was an excellent film

[Pischen1993]

I love Meryl!!!!!!!

[ArthurSpoonerFan]

Porky's 2... ROFL.

[Kimagure80]

What does Letterman says at 8:23?

I really don't understand...

[Yasi12039]

I think he says " And here we discuss this: How do I know that you're not acting "

[MalleSR]

what is she saying from: 1:02 - 1:07.. She is saying what is wrong with her, but I dont understand what she is saying.. please, somebody tell me..

[kestra79]

She says that she has a sinus infection and a bronchial infection aka bronchitis.

[MalleSR]

oh thank you so much.. you can't imagine how many times I'v been asking that question, without getting any answer!! Thank you, thank you, thank you..

[meryldepp]

Oh lol. Well known in the U.S.A i guess lol but here... never heard of ^^ Thanks you both ! =)

[meryldepp]

Love this interview =) but gosh , I'm french , then.. Can somebody help me and tell me what Letterman is saying at 5:08 that makes Meryl die of laughing ? lol

[jcmusic1218]

He said 'Porky's Two'. It's the sequel to Porky's, a trilogy made in the 80s about sex crazed teens who face these challeneges.

[meryldepp]

Oh thanks ! I understand much better lol ;)

[CarlyIsAGangster]

He said Porkies 2

Its a movie, ahaha. I saw the first one.

Idk its some washed up comedy.

But its well known.

[1212tinaa]

i love her laughing at 5:15

she is the best!

[hanaaiiscool]

LEGS. 0:40-0:42.

She's so gorgeous/halarious/adorable!

[kakilino]

God, I love this woman

[ChryssaLime]

Does anybody know why everybody laugh when Meryl said "I was afraid to cancel"??

[sid2876]

coz just a few days before this show happened John McCain had cancelled his appearance on Dave's show....and it got lot of publicity and Dave made lot of fun about it...

[ChryssaLime]

Thanx very much!!

[jcmusic1218]

McCain had canceled about a week earlier, saying he had other commitments. He then did an interview with another station/interviewer on another channel. So Letterman gave McCain hell for it.

[chilens66]

you have to find a geat guy from indiana!!

[kestra79]

you know whats funny, I am marrying a guy in August from Indiana. She is right he is a great guy.

[jennyfunny121]

sexy legs!

[Estrella1988]

¿¿Qué dijo cuando se rieron tanto en el minuto 1.14??

[Cylopacomeodas]

She said: I was afraid to cancel

[kimpedersen93]

"i was afraid to cancel"

she's so funny.

[badalnow]

She's just lovely. Absolutely lovely, charming, articulate and smart. She just looks lovelier than ever, so comfortable with herself, despite being under the weather. So much more interesting than these brainless, ego driven "stars" around.

Will always admire and respect her.

[leiaco]

oh thank you, this one i get...that with the miricales and the anniversary...but after he named all her movies, then she said: it´s gonna take so long and then he sais something with "porkeys" or so? what ist that? why is she laughing? thx

[badalnow]

He is referencing Porky's 2, a silly teen sex comedy. I suppose he threw it in for a laugh after reading out films like The Deer Hunter and Kramer vs Kramer. He just wanted to throw her off a bit. I thought it was funny.

[leiaco]

why was she laughing so much at 5:20..

what is "porkeys"?

help!!!!

i did not get that :(

[ilriaoo]

I am Italian , when I have seen this video I have thought....... Meryl day-dreams and uproarious Letterman... Hi...

[HolbergEM]

Great actress- no questions.

PS: BTW, ALL flu is a swine flu. Humans are the NEXT host to the modif. virus after the swine.

[ConcertGurl18]

[BiggCojones]

such a lovely woman.....does she have swine flu?

[georgiakatedurkin]

she was afraid to cancel lol

[adiandreas123]

hahah..she is hilarious..and when she entered the band played "don't speak" haha.

[p0pcultureic0n]

i think they played dont speak because its by No Doubt and she was promoting Doubt

[adiandreas123]

that could be..although it would be funnier if they played it cause she couldnt speak!!

[mineeeerva]

[alexahaller]

7:21: letteman's talking

7:26 you pray for miricals

[lmgc14]

I do not understand why she says " you prays for miracles"

[BillyRVaughan]

Cause marriage is hard. That's why so many people divorce.

[alexahaller]

oh cuz letterman says how does she keep a long relationship and she says you pray for miricals.

[lmgc14]

really thank you very much!

[alexahaller]

Congrats, Meryl, on your 23 Golden Globe Nomination, surpassing all. We are so proud of your body of work! You are the greatest actress/actor of all times! My 12 year old daughter is taking me to see Doubt for Chistmas. She is your newest fan since Mamma Mia! Get well soon! Love and Respect!

[aprilwearsgucci]

Meryl is so HILARIOUS! 1981 another academy award nom. Porkys 2. Loved how she knew the exact amount that Mamma Mia made. As always I love her laugh. And what she said about Don is so sweet. And everytime she coughs Dave tells her you shouldn't be out of the house.

[lovelydoll10]

She asks her "how do I know you're not acting?":))
