Hollywood superstar Scarlett Johansson recently appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman to promote her latest blockbuster, “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” and pay tribute to the late-night legend as he prepares for retirement.
Johansson, who became a mother seven months ago, expressed deep admiration for Letterman during the show, showering him with compliments and gratitude.

Despite a lightheartedly awkward start—when Letterman remarked that her elegant white dress resembled an “old-fashioned linen tablecloth”—Johansson, 30, shifted the focus to the host’s enduring impact.
She reminisced about her first appearance on the show at 13 years old, promoting “The Horse Whisperer” in 1998.

“Coming on this show is like you’ve made it,” she said, adding that Letterman “gave me a canned ham, which my dad kept in the fridge until I was 25, and it practically walked out on its own.”
The actress repeatedly emphasized that being on The Late Show has been a career milestone for her, exclaiming, “Thank you for everything, Dave! There’s never going to be anybody like you.”
She made it clear that her appearance on the show was more about celebrating Letterman’s career than promoting her new film despite its already impressive box office numbers.

When Letterman teased her, saying the movie had already grossed $200 million, Johansson replied, “I just came to see you, actually,” earning appreciative sighs from the audience.
Throughout the interview, Johansson shared glimpses of her personal life, talking about her seven-month-old baby, Rose, whose middle name, Dorothy, is a tribute to her grandmother.
However, the mood briefly turned heavy when Letterman asked her if she were concerned about the world her daughter would grow up in.

“Oh my God, that’s so heavy,” she responded, laughing and admitting that she hasn’t slept much since becoming a mother. “I’m just a new mom—cut me some slack.”
Despite her charming anecdotes, Johansson’s movie promotion skills left a little to be desired. She confessed that she didn’t know what “Age of Ultron” meant until the film’s premiere.
She introduced a clip from the movie, which turned out to be a gag reel featuring an old black-and-white video of a woman being chased by a remote-controlled robot, much to the amusement of Letterman and the audience.

When asked about her future as Black Widow, Johansson quipped, “As long as I look good in a catsuit, I guess—so probably about seven months.”
Her humor and candidness made for an enjoyable and heartfelt farewell to a beloved talk show host, proving once again that David Letterman holds a special place in the hearts of his guests and viewers alike.
