Drew Barrymore and Amanda Peet are looking back on the time they made out at one of Carrie Fisher’s legendary house parties.
The Daytime Emmy-winning host kicked off her interview with the Your Friends & Neighbors star on Monday’s episode of her talk show by asking her if they’d ever kissed.
“I miss the eighties. By the way, speaking of, did we make out at Carrie Fisher's house?” Barrymore asked, to which Peet replied, “I… feel like that might have happened.”

Barrymore, in response, cheekily leaned forward and added, “It’s so nice to see you again.”
The 50 First Dates actress went on to shed some more light on their liplock as Peet laughed. “I feel like Matthew Perry was there?” Barrymore said, prompting Peet to exclaim, “Yes, he was!”
The host seemed to suggest that such activities were simply par for the course at one of the late Star Wars alum’s fetes. “It was at Carrie Fisher’s house!” she exclaimed. “Listen, again, life used to be so much more fun.”
When Peet wondered if they both felt that way because they’d gotten older, Barrymore replied, “There is that. I guess maybe you also grow out of that kind of behavior? Especially when you become a parent. That changed me entirely.”

Peet agreed. “I’m still probably messy and silly,” she acknowledged, “but yes.”

Barrymore has spoken about Fisher, who died at 60 in 2016, and her infamous bashes in the past, revealing on a 2016 episode of Watch What Happens Live that she was "glad" to have survived some of those nights.
“I loved going to her house. It was like a hacienda type of like beautiful home off of Coldwater Canyon, very Los Angeles,” she said at the time. “She just had a very open home. I'd been there for parties, her office in the daytime. It was classic, Spanish, California — sunshine, orange groves, and creativity.”

When asked by host Andy Cohen if she ever attended one of Fisher and Penny Marshall’s joint birthday parties, Barrymore answered, “Oh hell yes! Oh yeah! They were [legendary parties]! I'm proud to say I came and went, because I feel like a lot of people stayed.”
She added, “I remember Garry Shandling being weird in the driveway. And I was like, 'I'm so glad I'm going home! I'm so glad I'm surviving these kind of nights.’”
The Drew Barrymore Show airs weekdays on CBS.
