It took place in the 1980s as Keaton was channeling her inner <strong>Madonna<\/strong> with her outfit for the interview.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/newsletters\/daily?utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=top\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:\ud83c\udfacSIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news &amp; celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox\ud83c\udfac;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">\ud83c\udfacSIGN UP for Parade&#8217;s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news &amp; celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox\ud83c\udfac<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The interview featured Letterman revealing that Keaton snuck into his studio audience during a taping of the late-night talk show. Keaton revealed she simply wanted to see his show, nothing else.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Letterman and Keaton\u2019s exchange was hilarious, especially when she admitted to wanting to be a member of his audience more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cYeah. I\u2019d like it. I think that would be nice,\u201d she said with a huge grin on her face.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In true Letterman fashion, he gave her gruff for not speaking to him the night she was in the audience but talking to other people in his crew. The interview took a turn after Letterman asked Keaton about being in the audience at a wrestling match earlier that week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Keaton erupted in laughter, admitted she was there, and it was great.
