The clip is from 1998 and shows a late night talk show host, now 73, interviewing Jennifer Aniston – and sucking her hair.
This has started circulating on social media amid the fallout from the recent bombshell documentary Framing Britney Spears, which scrutinized the way the young pop star was treated by the media.
