WEIRD WEIRD WEIRD. FAMOUS FROM THE 1980'S. CRISPIN IS AN ACTOR WHO WAS IN "RIVERS EDGE" MUST SEE TELEVISION.....SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH THIS DUDE!!!!!!
This is from Crispin Glover's heroic days of attempting to end the world's drug problem by taking all of them before anyone else got the chance.
This comment literally had me laughing out loud 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
wow, this caught me off guard...lmao.
Lol, very funny!
This comment made my day
He was bullied by Biff all those years. What did you expect?
Only in the first movie.
Loraine, you are my density
@@zeeoracle President Biff
And all this time, Biff Henderson seemed like such a nice guy on Late Night with David Letterman. ;-)
He tried to go the whole interview without saying ONE thing. Pretty fucking funny.
This is me when I visit with relatives and they don't even notice.
its his theme at least for Letterman appearances
Joaquin Phoenix's inspiration for the Joker
I thought it was Phoenix's inspiration for showing up on Letterman with bizarre behavior.
no kidding, wow.
Oh my god, it must be. Very clever research on Joaquin’s behalf.
Probably influenced the 1990’s nervous Chris Farley SNL classic interview with Paul McCartney.
You get what you f*cking deserve🤷🏻
He was 100% trolling. He's a pretty accomplished actor, director, writer, musician who even has a new HBO show. Dude loooooves freaking out interviewers, though.
I think he's mildly autistic and completely comfortable with being so. He has fully embraced his eccentricity.
Are you kidding. This guy decided to make a movie with nothing but fucking DOWN'S SYNDROME actors. What a fucking riot that must have been. After learning that, this video does NOT surprise me.
@John Carter you're right, these videos is
You get it. He's yanking letterman's chain or it was set up from the start. He was nothing like this at all in real life.
There's info out there that says one of his influence was Andy Kaufman.
He succeeded. We are still watching these clips 20 years later. Brilliant.
30 years.
@@calebrochester9516 Thank you for correcting me. I appreciate that. Now where is that rolling eyes emoji?!
@@erickjason9092 I couldn’t help myself.
@@calebrochester9516 I don't know how I got that so wrong. I actually saw it when it happened. Who knew it would become legendary.
@@erickjason9092 letterman didn’t know what he getting to inviting crispin glover on. I wish CG would come back the TVland and start more trouble. He made a unwatchable movie years ago that is worth the trouble if you can find it. “What Is It?” Have fun.
Slightly impressed how Letterman didn't flinch at that kick
slow reactions from a slow witted douche
He's actually a Genius.... and is taking the media for a ride, he has said before and after this that late night shows are a big joke so he treats them as such
+Dave gillan No. just no.
That would be all and good if he were intellectually capable of making a good point about why they're a "joke," and if he didn't end up being the butt of his own joke.
Noah McDaniel - your a genius...Have you ever heard of Andy Kaufman?..
it's called drugs, my man
krystyon young he is kinda handsome in a strange way
I adored Crispin. He sets up jokes that don’t fit, don’t have punchlines, an he so reminds me of Kaufman on a lot of speed.
You are describing a crazy person.
this dude is the original troll. lmfao OT in the house.
Well, Kaufman did it way earlier, but yes, he is essentially trolling corporate media.
Nice call Toke, Kaufman was the first and best....
Andy Kaufman was the original
He is the spiritual successor to Andy Kaufman.
seems like he’s mentally unstable
Crispin Glover. Best. Guest. Ever.
Harmony Korine.
hands down best ever.
Oh yess young CRISPIN. At his best. The man really is one of thee best actors. That's why everyone is so intrigued and believed into this interview
He’s so cool!! 🥺🥺 When he was younger and even as an older dude
Dude takes method acting to a new level.
Yeah. A bad level.
doesn't look like anyone agrees @@ricarleite
Letterman gets it, he just doesn't like it. He seems to always want things to go as planned so he can just do his job and get the hell out of there. That's why so many performers went on his show and did bizarre or shocking things.
bingo
You don't know a thing about David Letterman....very obviously.
Like Harmony 😂
Actually no. Most people went on his show and acted normally. A FEW just had to be asshole clowns like Glover. I saw most all of these live and they weren't funny then and they aren't funny now.
@@spaceghost8995 to each their own
I love this guy man! Definitely trolling Letterman the whole time.
Really strange that David Lynch didn't cast him in more than just "Wild At Heart." He acts like a David Lynch character.
Fact
Christmas Dell
"I'm making my LUNCH!"
Probably why lol, too lynch for even David Lynch
@@zcosmos9 *jingle dell*
The original Joaquin Phoenix.
Andy Kaufman was the best at trolling the audience. He was around way before Joaquin, but not the first to try a comedic strategy like this.
CORRECTION: The original Andy Kaufman.
ANDY KAUFMAN!!!!!!!!!!
Right on point. #joker
"How about another joke Letterman ?"
"And there's the funeral for her there, and the buffalo is looking over at the funeral" may be one of my favourite, utterly surreal things anyone's ever said.
That was brilliant huh?
@@yeah_dude03 YES.
This is honestly one of the funniest things I've ever seen. When he was presenting his art, I was laughing so hard that breathing was hard for about two minutes.
Oh boy is Crispin pulling a fast one on Dave. I can guarantee you this: Out of all the interviews David has done and forgotten from all the biggest stars in Hollywood, he will NEVER forget Crispin Glover!
*coughAndyKaufmancough* He isn't weird, he is doing it to screw with everyone.. for his own amusement
+Eric Berkbigler Yeah, Kaufman was the first name I thought of too.
Or it was just a clever way to cover up anytime he was high as a kite.
when I was five I went to a Dodgers game, and this old drunk unwittingly put on a performance for all within earshot by commenting in disgust to himself over LA's less than stellar play. A few years later, when I was nine and on my weekend bike ride around town, I came across a little league baseball game, with full bleachers. I got off my bike, walked behind home plate / in front of all the parents, and basically did the entire drunk guy's routine as it was indelibly impressed upon my memory. Occasionally, I would turn and take an inconspicuous peak at the parents, who were seemingly all focused on me with very concerned looks on their faces. I carried on for a good 5 mins, then got back on my bike and continued my ride. Not saying that nine year old me was the original troll, but...actually, that it was I'm saying. It was me, THEN Andy, THEN Crispin. "What a ball game what a ball game what a ball game!"
Uncle Tony lol thanks for starting the art form
He was actually playing a new character he was working on for a movie called Rubin.
"Jesus, George it's a wonder I was even born."
Thank you for the laugh, commenter from 2 years ago (from: someone rather depressed by the Corona/quarantine situation).
"Hey you,, get your damn hands off her,,,,, do you think I should swear?"
@@michaelhuppe5151 Yes , God dam it George Swear !
@@nkr3982 he's an idiot , it comes from upbringing his parents are probably idiots too if you ever have a kid who acts that way I'll disown you
@@ericjay6021 🤣
When u see the interview scene in joker and you think its so well done and creepy... Then you see this 🤣
He would make a great joker
I was waiting for the last joke
Now this is how to go on a talk show!
wow, such commitment to the bit. Everyone in the comments thinks he's really like that XD He becomes a different person in each interview to show off his acting chops
thanks, u save me the trouble of putting it out there.
Lol no he's not. He's a neurotic mess.
He was horrible in The Rivers Edge.
Imagine him & Andy Kaufman (if he were alive) on the same episode!
Andy Kaufman, Crispin Glover, Jim Carrey, Robin Williams and Martin Short = 👍👍👍
DUDE. YES.
That volcano music box .... hilarious. I get it! Genius.
I LOVE THIS GUY.
Hilarious!!!! I agree with what one commenter said here-- who cares whether he's high or just in character or is being himself -- He's hilarious and original! I wish that more comedians/actors these days were as spontaneous, funny, creative, and original as Crispin. Instead of all stuck on their images, fancy cars, "bling", and having some stupid self-absorbed actress hanging on their arm.
He's too different to be high.
Amen to that! There's nothing original in Hollywood anymore.
Sabes que tiene una inmensa mansión en República Checa????
Buddy All actors were on drugs in the 80s and the 90s
Maybe he was just a freaky
This is classic! How does he do that laugh? He can make sound on the inhale. That takes REAL skill!
He is also an ACTOR. He pretends for a living. People seem to forget these trivial matters. Like when Joaquin Phoenix was getting into a "rap" career and most thought he went insane, literally. Again, small matter, but Joaquin is a multi award winning actor.
Hey Rick! Didn't expect to see you on here😂
Rebbecca South I’m around the KZhead realm haha
Wow! I'm honestly surprised you answered! I've been a subscriber for about a year now. Your channel is awesome. I appreciate you keeping the classics alive with your love and content. I'm also surprised no one else has replied to your comment in three years!!!!😱 You have a very blessed night, and weekend. Stay safe!❤️
IMO, he is doing what Emo Phillips, Bob Cat Goldthwait, Andy Kaufman and many others have done ... it's an act and works awkwardly for him :-)
This man is clearly a genius he would be a very interesting person to chat with.
Just love the way he takes the whole genre down. Brilliant
This is just too "over the top" to be real. Glover is obviously in character and as in most of his early roles, the whole manic, speed balling persona is in full bloom. I doubt Letterman took it too seriously either as he was invited back to the show a couple of times. If you watch Crispin in current interviews, he's calm, level headed and very intelligent.
I absolutely love him... This is amazing.
crispin glover is my absolute most favorite actor.
I love crispin Glover hes a bright guy no exceptions
Same!! ^.^
One of the most brilliantly countercultural artists when it came to the concept of celebrity late night interviews, actually, countercultural/abstract artists ever. I've heard how maniacal he can be to work with from friends who were promoters and venue managers, BUT, you have to admit...he was about to make Letterman lose his mind at the end of this, and in a very laughable way. And it is nothing less than hilarious and some form of happiness. LOVE Crispin forever.
How great is this? That's the Crispin Glover we came to know & love.
Has anyone ever drawn any parallels between Crispins first appearance on Letterman and the themes explored in the movie "Joker"?
I keep seeing this and I have to ask...yall never heard of 'the king of comedy'?
This guy is pure gold. No wonder he came back so soon
Love, CG. Willard...the performance of a lifetime.
Crispin looks like one of THOSE DOGS that's so happy to see you and excited WHEN they first meet you, that they can't contain themselves!!!
Such a great table turner. Very intelligent guy who was ahead of his time.
He's amazing! A real parody of the stupidity of TV shows.
This is the only Letterman interview I have completely enjoyed.
This should be studied.
Rewind and play it back very slowly 😂
In Psych classes! lol
Methmatics
Adler Post HC yeah by neuroscience
believe it or not i think it has been.. check out bill murray doing his best cripin impression in the first dave late show.. he carries the meltdown so convincingly with authority till its revealed.. it was all a gag and my bet is.. so was this buuut.. crispin himself said he doesnt want to give anything away about it or even acknowledge it was him on the show going so far in his third (and now alas final dave interview though he said he wants to see dave again) as to start rumors it was a stand in double playing him playing his character.. which.. i wonder.
This just goes to show how truly brilliant Crispin Glover is.
Crispin Glover is eternally trolling the whole world.
I don't remember any if this. But I know I must have seen it. My brother and I never missed an episode. Beautiful work
Always performing, and very convincingly. Not crazy, but brilliant.
I get what he´s trying to do...all based in different interviews. The guy is a fucking genious
Care to elaborate?
I love how the Glove gets physical & rambunctious and Dave shits his pants, but then when he (C.G)'s laughing at his half arsed scrutiny, Letterman openly threatens him with violence!
Letterman was a known bully. It's super obvious here.
That “im about to slap you” made me laugh the hardest this whole interview. He was joking for crying out. Dave is the perfect straight man for Crispin.
He was on a level that no one even knew about yet or yet still maybe only a few now it seems.
The funniest interview I ever saw was Crispin Glover on the Jonathan Ross Show in the UK. I was in tears at the level of weirdness he exuded and more of his artwork. So great.
If Letterman slapped him, Glover would just start throwing roundhouses.
Lol cant stop laughing watching this.. Crispin is great!
He still didn't cop that the original kick time on Letterman he was in character as Rubin from the film Rubin and Ed. This would have played much better in the social media era. There would have been plenty of people familiar with his upcoming film and it would have been a thing. Also his company to publish his books and movies is Volcanic Eruptions, so that volcano case is probably an Easter egg reference to his company. Social media would totally pick up on that too these days.
This man is adorable.
Crispin Glover is possibly one of the best most eclectic performers in the entertainment industry. He strays away from social norms and doesn't conform to Hollywood stereotypes driven by corporate appeal. Watch closely and you can tell he thinks Letterman is a joke... so that's how he is treating the show. Mr. Glover is an absolute intellect, icon and probably one of the kindest most genuine humans you could meet. Think about it, did anyone leave that auditorium without feeling entertained or intrigued?
You changed my outlook with this explanation. I simply thought he was just a freak but I am also counterculture and believe that Hollywood is made up of a cabal of weirdos and freakazoids. If he was trolling Letterman and Hollywood, then I approve.
Felt like the box of lemonheads said “dont do drugs!”
Definitely an act. He's pretty good in Deadman with Johnny Depp.
+Larry Parker he played that part just perfect. and what a great scene to usher in the movie
+Larry Parker Nah he's definitely on drugs here.
He's an actor who can play different roles from his actual personality? Crazy!
He did such a brilliant job playing Andy Warhol in "The Doors"
And in Alice In Wonderland with Johnny Depp and other movies! ^.^
He wanted to expose how big a jerk Letterman is...success
I don't care if he's high or just in character or being himself. He is a hoot. This is great and this is what makes entertainment the ENTERTAINMENT industry. It's got all the uptight people gabbin'!
Hoots are rare in this world..
Glover works in the "arts" at a genius level. He loves messing with people who take themselves too seriously, like Letterman, and this whole charade is pre-planned. That's how well he messes with folks. To prove a point, they had absolutely no trouble filming him for the Back to the Future movie series, and is one of the iconic actors from that time. Could you imagine him acting like this for his audition? No director would likely touch someone with the "character" he plays on Letterman here. Enjoy it from this point of view and you can see that Letterman is really being played.
I think letterman was played the first time but here he’s playing along
I get what he was doing. It's so obvious. And he did a great job. Letterman, Schafer and the whole audience were duped. Good on your Crispin.
He trolled Dave so hard lmao
River's Edge was a fantastic movie. It's one of the few movies with kids that's dark and weird and never sentimental.
He shouldve played Steve Jobs
Definitely one of Paula Poudstone's more bizarre appearances on Late Night.
One of the best method actors there is. He’s eccentric but he’s also super smart.
My impression is he is intentionally acting weird for his own amusement. The joke is on every one else while he goes through his bizarre little charade on the letterman show.
Like Andy Kaufman.
He actually explains everything. "Avant garde" is "interesting." You don't have to appreciate whatever. But this make's you think, feel, or react. My reaction is usually to cringe or say "wow."
Did he put up another act to explain his first act?
Looking at 3 appearances by Glover it looks like two possibilities to me: 1 - Glover was in on the schtick and all these appearances were for ratings for Letterman. 2 - That Letterman saw after the first appearance, ratings and news of Glovers 'crazy antics' was super huge, So yes, have the guy back on and it would help to boost ratings for David's second rate, second place in the late night ratings show... It's showbiz baby!
Fascinating to watch this "battle" of the cynics. I say this as a huge Letterman fan and moderate Glover fan. Dave's cynicism was well known, but I think Glover was really pushing Dave's buttons (successfully) -- also a rather cynical act.
His first appearance, with the wig and platform shoes, was actually a character from a movie. A movie that wasn't released until years later. He may be the only person to out-Kaufman Andy himself.
Utter nonsense
Those "art props" he made are a dead give away that this is an act. This guy is in the same class as Andy Kaufman. Genius. They both risk their careers to do things like this.
His first appearance was promoting a movie that was actually delayed for a few years. This made his first appearance so strange because nobody would know he was portraying the character from a movie until years later. Even then not many people saw it.
Ok. I was wondering why nobody mentions Rubin and Ed. Makes more sense now.
His hair is so River Phoenix love it
Crispin Glover is the man!!
DRGONZOOBOOGIE hey Sean I was watching this and was happy to catch your comment.
funny coz he looks like the woman
2018 still funny as hell
I remember an interview with him in Rolling Stone magazine after River's Edge, and he said his home phone number and address, which they published. He invited people to get in touch with him
WOW... I'm now convinced. Joaquin Phoenix stole his talks how bit in The Joker from Crispin. WOW
Love me some Crispin Glover!
I go to Crispin, among other sorts, when I want to explore the "weird" in people and life... :D
I hadn't seen this one before, this was actually really nice!
Cocaine is a hell of a drug..
lsd
Ryan Goebel Like my screen?
I love Crispin Glover he's so awesome... sure he's pretty weird but in our hearts we all are xx also am I the only person who thinks Steve Zahn looks like him?
its all an act....I think.
john dennis it is an act. how he was acting at first, then when they ask him about things....i have no idea
Tangible Darkness he probably doesn't even studder.
It's an act - he was basically trolling everyone, especially the media.
They both seems so relaxed.
thank you
With this appearance, he pulled an Andy Kaufman and got the viewing audience to buy into his act. After all, he is an actor. Sheer genius.
Agreed...This and his previous appearance really did seem to follow the Kaufman mold....
Yeah, or he's just geeked out of his mind on a shitload of cocaine.
I agree Ted, some of his work definitely reminds one of our dear Andy. Which of course, makes Andy all the more genius ;)
Did anyone else think "Popped a molly, now he sweating"? I mean shit. I'll have what he's having.
He's eccentric yet brilliant. Just like his dad, Bruce Glover who played Mr. Wint in the James Bond movie "Diamonds are Forever".
If he is indeed in a character.......then he is one of the greatest actors in the world
This actor’s work has all been filmed on one take I bet. My blood pressure just went up after watching this.
He’s amazing!!!! He was a troll before trolling was a thing!!!! OG OT right there!!! Love him!
og ot??
OG means original goat and OT means original troll.
@@natwalsh2710 og means Original Gangster. Not original goat lol. You got OT right though 💪
@@Lord_Pistachio_Nut Oh okay lol Sorry. Thanks for correcting me. And ok, yay!
@@natwalsh2710 I just godda say. You rock lol. We live in a world where 99.9% of the time when you correct someone they become hostile right away, acting like you're being pretentious/a jerk etc lol and it's exhausting. It's refreshing to interact with a genuine human being again!
OMG!!! That music box is fucking awesome!!! “Plays Beatles I wanna hold your hand b/c her hand is being boiled over by the lava” 😂😂🤣 Crispin is great
Contrast to today, when nearly every celeb who comes out is is polished, practiced, put together, and all but cut from the same mold, differing only by what they do and whatever pieces of flair they've added to their aesthetic.
