Shah Rukh, whose popularity endures far and beyond his performance at the box office, charmed the live audience with his witty remarks and dimpled smile.
The audience applauded thunderously for the superstar several times during the one-hour show, prompting Shah Rukh to gesture for them to stop.
Letterman, who was awe-stuck by the actors' fan following, also hailed Shah Rukh, saying that Khan will figure at the top list of people from whom he has learnt something.
