Gellar actually appeared on the NBC version of Letterman show twice. In 1982 she did the safety skit where she wore a box on her head.

Her left inside forearm has the letters 'C' and 'R', the initials of her children, Charlotte and Rocky. Most recently she has gotten tiny tattoos on her hands.
A Lemur Named Gellar
One of two blue-eyed black lemurs born at the Duke Lemur Center in 2018 was named after Sarah Michelle Gellar. Gellar the lemur weighed 2.5 ounces at birth. Blue-eyed black lemurs are among the world’s top 25 most endangered primates. The Duke Lemur Center announced in March 2018: "Please join us in celebrating the arrivals of our newest Eulemur flavifrons infants, Hamill and Gellar!" Hamill was named after actor Mark Hamill, and "Gellar, named after blue-eyed actress Sarah Michelle, was born on March 14 to parents Wiig and Hiddleston. For their first several days, Gellar and Wiig – like all mommas and infants at the DLC – lived together in a 'baby suite' separate from the other members of the family, as infant survival rates are significantly higher when mom and baby are away from the group for a few days and gradually reintroduced when the infant is less vulnerable. The family’s first all-day intro took place on March 27 and the family is doing beautifully! Gellar is climbing off of her mom a lot and starting to explore the group’s enclosure on her own, although never too far from the safety of her momma."
THE JOY OF READING
Sarah Michelle Gellar teamed up with "The Nestle Share The Joy Of Reading Program" to raise awareness about the importance of children's literacy. "As a mother and avid reader," said Gellar. "I am excited to be participating in 'The Nestle Share the Joy of Reading Program' to benefit 'Reading is Fundamental' Reading has had an enormous, positive impact on my life and I encourage people to support organizations such as RIF that work to ignite a child's hunger for knowledge and inspire imagination."
No Kid Hungry
Gellar is a celebrity partner of "No Kid Hungry", a program to bring healthy school breakfasts to children across the US. She told People Magazine: "You realize when you become a parent that it’s not just your children you’re responsible for, it’s everybody’s children. I really looked for something that I could do on a local and national level that involved children, and also someplace that I could introduce my children to social awareness.”
Slideshow
The Widow Claire and Jake's Women
Sarah Michelle Gellar has appeared in two theatrical productions. In 1986 she was Molly in the Horton Foote play, "The Widow Claire". She played another Molly (Mollie at age 13) in 1990 in the Neil Simon play, "Jake's Women", but the show closed out of town after a trial run in San Diego. When Simon decided to do the play again in 1992, Gellar was the wrong age for the part and Brenda Vaccaro took the role.
The New York Times had this to say about The Widow Claire: "In keeping with his writing habits of four decades, the author of "The Trip to Bountiful" and "Tender Mercies" whisks us into the fictional small Texas town of Harrison and sets his characters about their diurnal business. "The Widow Claire," a 95-minute anecdote in one act, describes only a single long summer night of 1911. Horace Robedaux (Matthew Broderick), a poor but ambitious 21-year-old about to enroll in a six-week business course in Houston, spends the eve of his departure courting the title character (Hallie Foote), a 27-year-old widow with several suitors and two rambunctious kids. Daybreak brings Horace's leave-taking and an exchange of farewells so formal one might wonder whether the couple had in fact stolen a few chaste kisses under the new moon of the night before."
The Jules Asner Interview - 2003
Jules Asner interviewed Gellar in 2003 for E!. The above recording was posted to YouTube by goldcanyon340 with commercials included.
Ice Skating
Gellar skated competitively for three years in the late 1980's, and once finished third in a New York State regional competition. She gave up skating at the urging of her mother to concentrate on acting and her studies.
Cookbooks

Prinze told Zee Krstic of EATER: "The first dish I ever cooked on TV was a sea bass with sugar and lime with Rosie O’Donnell, of all people." Seventy-five of Prinze's family recipes are featured, along with the stories behind them.
Quantum Quest - A Cassini Space Odyssey
In the educational science fiction adventure film "2004: A Light Knight's Odyssey", the character Ranger, (originally named Rayna) was first voiced by Sarah Michelle Gellar. The film was made by NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, but in 2008 the script was rewritten to include discoveries made by the Cassini Huygens mission to Saturn, and Gellar was too busy to participate, and was replaced by Amanda Peet. A new version of the film was released 13 January 2010 with the title: "Quantum Quest: A Cassini Space Odyssey", which can be streamed on YouTube.
