Sarah Paulson does a killer impression of Drew Barrymore, which she did last year on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" -- and unbeknownst to Paulson, Barrymore happened to see it.
Paulson returned to the scene of the crime Tuesday night and told Fallon about what happened when the "Santa Clarita Diet" star approached her about it at a famous friends' birthday party -- but not before reliving last year's fame and doing her best impressions of Holly Hunter, Kathleen Turner and, yes, Drew Barrymore.

And all of a sudden, I had this whiteout in terror thinking like, 'I did an impression of her on national television. She may hate my guts!'"
"But she didn't. She thought I was OK," Paulson added before going into another stellar impression of ET's finest. She also did her best Juliette Lewis from the 1991 thriller, "Cape Fear," which nearly put Fallon in stitches.
"So now, you actually decided to not do celebrity impressions anymore," Fallon said. "You wanna do--"
"Animals," Paulson interrupted. "'Cause, you know, you don't have to worry about running into them at a party."
