  • Fuck you david, fucking dick!

  • I'm watching the movie now about him, it's crazy shit, it's true

  • Guys you have to watch the movie I'm still here this isnt fake

  • i can,t be the first person to make you feel weird about it

  • it was a joke and Letterman was in on it.

  • @TheCharlesmansun it was a joke and letterman was not in on it. watch the most recent interview with these two

  • I have to laugh at the retards who think its real

  • would people in canada get to watch this show? if so could anyone tell me wat channel? :S

  • The big fake out was convincing everyone that it was a big stunt, big thanks Affleck!!

  • Did no one see his interview with Leno nearly 10 years ago, it was sadly similar. If it was a "Mockumentary," it would have been more funny or interesting! Wish he was acting though, I like the dude too!

  • this guy is an asshole. he has the nerve to get annoyed at letterman for getting more sarcastic with him for giving such a crappy interview...his little "stunt" was stupid and it backfired

  • so this prick gets "offended" when letterman jokes about not having him on to perform his "hip hop" AFTER he acts like a creepy, detached asshole for the first 10 minutes of the interview...

  • @xtinefukovski

    I AGREE WITH YOU.I LOVE JOAQUIN!DONT WORRY HELL BE BACK WITH A NEW MOVIE WHICH WILL BE RELEASED IN 2013 A RELIGIOUS DRAMA AND HE IS ALSO WORKING WITH THE DIRECTOR OF TWO LOVERS HE WILL PLAY THE PART OF A PIMP ALONGSIDE MARION CODIGIARD

  • For a while there I thought this guy either really lost it, or was having one of the most severe mid life crisis's I had ever seen in my life. I know people really think the guy was on drugs, and I thought that to, but then I kinda got to thinking and I mean, if he PLANNED this mockumentary, then he had to have PLANNED his act. You don't plan drugs to make you into Zach Galifinakis. Just another reason why he's one of my fave actors ever. Well played, Mr Phoenix, well played ;]

  • It was not an act. I watched a documentary called I'm still here. He has gone off the deep end. It's a must see and you will understand. This interview is in it.

  • @kenneymann33 Dude that was a mockumentary he acted it all out, he's just a really fucking good actor

  • @kenneymann33 lol bro its a mockumentary. its meant to mock people who really go through that.

  • I wonder what he took off his glasses and said to Dave there at the end. He looked pissed at all the jokes.

  • Wait so was this whole thing he did just an act? Because I seriously thought he went off the deep end...I remember when this whole thing went down and I'm just thinking to myself "that guy was such a great actor, what happened!"

  • i watched the movie last night.......was totally unaware it was an act because i had seen this letterman interview the night it came out , totally thought he was on drugs and had lost it lol........nice job mr pheonix........

  • I've been saying his name Joe-a-quin..

  • It's an act for the movie he was making with brother in law Casey Affleck "I'm still here"

    Which was filmed to look like a documentary but was really a spoof.

    Google magic my friends ;)

    plus the movie is playing currently on the showtime channels!

  • Hi. Is anyone 100% sure this is an act or is it up for debate? I mean has anyone confirmed it either way? Some say it is an act other say it is not. I faintly remember reading it WAS an act on Phoenix's part but dont know if the source was reliable. Does anyone know if Letterman was in on it? Is the "movie" Im still here any good? I really LOVED him in walk the line but have not seen any of his other movies. Any suggestions? Any details or input would be great. Thanks!

  • @KellyAPRN

    Hi. I think if you take a look at the newest apperence he made on David Letterman you'll find som answers.

    Here's a link: /watch?v=97pPMzESi6s&feature=r­elated

  • David Letterman is a legend. He did not take Johnny Carson's job. Johnny retired because he was old and had been on the years for many years. Johnny is also a legend. Joaquin is obviously on a another planet. It's not because he is "not kissing the guests behinds" it is because he has lost touch. The cheese slid off his cracker. Sad to see because he is a brilliant actor.

  • So I'm OBSESSED with Joaquin phoenix and it almost broke my heart to see how he "turned out" to be, but i'm SO glad it's all an act!!! Anyways, I've been watching this over and over, and I noticed that every time he almost breaks character, he pushes his sunglasses up.. haha

  • the makers of Two lovers must have been so upset about all the negative publicity the film got because of Joaquin! :D

    But honestly what a legend he is!!!

  • You can tell with that "Joaquin I'm sorry you couldn't be here tonight" jab Phoenix almost broke his character cause it was too funny lol. Letterman is a Boss!

  • Man, Joaquin looks really depressed..and probably on downers of some sort..

    Letterman's a dick.

  • @OrgyAtMyPlaceNOW no haha it's an act.

  • @OrgyAtMyPlaceNOW

    it was fake.

  • I think Letterman was really great

  • He's acting

  • DRUGS

  • @237cupcake it was fake.

  • It was fake, for a documentary thing he was making.

  • i just thought that DL came across as relentless and sadistic. that's all

  • @klepjax Very insensitive is more likely.

  • i wouldnt want to be jouquin phoenix during that commercial break

  • looks like joaquin is tryin not to laugh lol this is funny!

  • Comment removed

  • Joaquin Phoenix is the next JOKER, thumps up so that Christopher Nolan can see it

  • they came out and said it was fake

  • They both did a great job!

  • geeked

  • oh its so much sun ... lol

  • @mjdasilva It was revealed later that it was all an act to hype up his documentary. Dave did a followup interview where he was "jokingly" asking for royalties after being used for the documentary. You should inform yourself before going off on other people who are more knowledgeable than you. You just end up looking like an idiot otherwise.

  • Guys, he's on cocaine..it's frickin disappointing!! i watched half of his documentary..and yeah he's on cocaine so, that's why he was acting that way..

  • @KateyyPandaa you are mis-informed and it's a MOCKumentary!

  • Jahhahhahahahaha it was an act. Are you fucking retarded. He did it to promote his movie "I'm still here" watch the other interview he did with lettermen he tells all.

  • It was an act.....

  • Imagine an actor/artist literally having to produce a documentary to rebuke past behavior that was too far out of the box for the people of Tinseltown.

    Conan would've showed some respect and probably would've gotten a really in-depth and interesting interview from Phoenix, matted hair, grown out beard, sunglasses and all.

  • Letterman is a duesch. Did he really think Phoenix was going to give him any type of an interview after poking at the guy over his look as much as he was? I would've done the same thing, make Letterman's job really hard for the night.

    .....I haven't personally seen this so called documentary that Phoenix put together, but I think it was probably an easy ploy to answer what so many people thought was strange behavior. The dudes a genius in his craft but all these shallow critics and fans look

  • Joaquin is high...

  • Comment removed

  • FREAKIN LOVE LETTERMAN

    

  • Okay peeps. Here is the truth. THE DOCUMENTARY JOAQUIN MADE WAS FAKE !!!! Just goes to show how amazing of an actor he is that 90% of the known world STILL believes everything was true !!!!!

  • Wow, Phoenix is such an inventive talent. I would love to be able to do what he does. Just makes ripples in the water for no reason. haha tongue-in-cheek humor and a rousing social experiment all in one!

  • I don't get the dig at Farrah Fawcett

  • @d0lphnl0vr Farrah Fawcett did a really bad interview with Letterman a few years before this and so he was referring to that being the worst interview he'd ever done, until this one.

  • @d0lphnl0vr Farrah Fawcett came on the show messed up also and Dave is pretty much saying that this is the weirdest guest he's had since her!

  • Phoenix was amazing in Gladiator. I'm just sorry he went along with this joke though. I'm sure plenty of people never even found out it was a joke.

  • knowing that this was just a character makes this hilarious.

  • lmaoooooooooooooo

  • RIP Dave Letterman 1947-2008, you are a comedy legend. I find it very disrespectful that CBS still drag your corpse out every night just so they can film the late show.

  • @MitchConnorHennLopez Why is it that people hate David Letterman again? I can't remember the exact reason. No wait, I remember its because he screwed that one host out of a job at NBC that Johnny Carson promised to him....no I'm sorry, that wasn't him....No its because he lied when he said he was going to retire and give Conan his slot...then when his ratings started sucking he screwed Conan out of a job....DANGIT...sorry wrong person again...

  • @MitchConnorHennLopez I just don't understand the negativity. Is it because h doesn't kiss the guest behinds and cower before them when they're acting out of line?

  • @MitchConnorHennLopez It looks like mommy forgot to tuck you in.

  • @MitchConnorHennLopez You know what, i disagree. After a long day its nice to come home and watch garranteed Fun & happiness every weeknight.

  • @MitchConnorHennLopez sure, he's aging, but I'd have to say letterman is pretty on here

  • @MitchConnorHennLopez what you said makes no sense. would you care to explain? Be clever and say No.

  • Es un GENIOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! es un genio!! I'm still here es espectacular bien comedia de los hermanos Cohen, un ídolo, una inesperada alegria :D

  • lol great acting ! just saw the Mockumentary. Great !

  • This is the real Joaquin Phoenix

  • This scene seems much more serious in the doc/mocumentary than it does in this clip

  • one the best actors around. Hurry up and come back. This is to funny.

  • lmao at 9:10 he grabs the gum again some thing tells me he was really getting mad or that was his way of pissing letterman off so they didn't speak and less chance of him breaking character.

  • What do you gas them up on...lmao!

  • It just shows you how sick people are...

  • the best way to cover up something embarrassing, like the movie I'm still here... is to say that it was all a joke, if you saw that movie you would know that he was having an anxiety attack on letterman... but they just said it was a joke and the movie was fake to just cover it up, no one can fake what hes doing that good

  • @sprinkles512

    it`s a joke man don`t be silly

  • @sprinkles512 ...... no one but actors. because you know.... the whole "they get paid pretending to be someone else." thing. so yeah.....

  • No it isnt a joke u morons...it's because of "weird" stuff like this that Dave Chappelle literally ran away to Africa...

  • @GodHatesPortugal

    it`s a joke man calm down

  • This is genius.

  • @StringSnare you call making fun of someone on drugs of some sorts genius. you must be genius.

  • @DJSexLeopard ... first of all ... wow what an wierd Name so If I would be you I would truely belive that you are a Sex Leopard wich loves to DJ at the Weekends but I am not you and I think you might missunderstood the whole "I´m still here" Documentary ... of course his Raps are fucked up and he is a douche bag but thats part of his roll ... he didnt disrespect any Rapper or even the Hip Hop Culture he only plays a fucked up Dude who ends his career and terrible fails ... PEACE

  • this guy is a fucking quack and he can't rhyme for shit. watch this douche bag on netflix and his documentary shows that he is a fag cock loving crack head that disrespects all rappers. He needs to never rap again!

  • ok someone please what letterman says there? "what can you tell us about your days...?"  PLLLLLEEEEASE

  • @joannafcuku days with the Unibomber

  • @robodaisy thanks:)

  • I mistyped,..its Joaquin,..no M.

  • This is way funny! Joaquim finally let people in on the Joke he and Casey created.LOL!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @TodGakk Letterman blows. Owned.

  • so was this interview a joke? did he ever establish that it was?

  • He was filming something with Casey Afleck. It was a joke.

  • @kewlcat193 it wasn't really a joke. He was playing a character for a film he did called 'I'm still here'. Lettermen didn't know at the time.

  • @funnipony thanks!

  • I wish Joaquin would have said, 'Man is a territorial life-form, living on a sphere, bound for global conflict over clan supremacy and when the complexity of a conspiracy exceeds the point beyond which justice can hold it accountable in the system then a state of free clandestine reign is achieved indefinitely.

  • sorry what is dave says what can you tell us about your days in...?

    sorry not American PLEASE SOME1

  • @joannafcuku days with the Unibomber

  • Dave is one of the best tv show hosts. I mean come on, he even made this one funny.

  • @Michele88232 why is he a bully? Joaquin himself signed up to do the show. If he didn't want to do it, then don't do it.

  • Dave really shows his skill in this clip. Even a crazy Joaquin couldn't shake him. He kept rolling out the jokes and asking questions to keep things moving along. And he did it pretty much with a monologue. I was very relieved to learn that the whole Joaquin thing was an act for his "documentary." I was bummed to think such a gorgeous man was a nut.

  • @pumkin54 i don't think his crazy I think he's messed op o Heroin just look at his shades and the beard.Hard core Heroin addicts don't like to shave and Shower often because Heroin hit u harder and gives them a better high that way.Used to experienced it myself and hung out enough with Junkies that I think I can see certain insider things that only a person who went through it personally can see.Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

  • @pumkin54 "the whole Joaquin thing was an act" & "such a gorgeous man"?? Are you fucking retarded or what? The pig was drug-fucked out of his mind & needed a reality check, which his geek friends couldn't give him because they didn't have the balls/heart (though David sure did). Look at the way he looks at the audience when he realises they're laughing at him. Dude was lost & couldn't figure out y they were laughing. An "act" lol. You people need to get your heads checked more than Joaquin does.

  • @pumkin54 "A nut" He obviously looked like he was has developing some kind of depression.

  • it's just for show,fake.

  • Johnny Galecki

    ICMFP

  • No, Letterman knows, however, drugs are not the issue. Joaquin is the Unibomber's brother and he feels bad about turning him in.

  • This man is a genius

  • this is so funny! He is weird funny actually.what happened to him?

    letterman is ...he rocks the interviews he is one of the best tv shows comedians he rocks love his show and the way he well making fun of them in front of them!

  • what do you gas em up with? you got nitrous kickin around this joint?

    lol

  • Dave is so honest in plugging stuff he likes, and talking honestly about stuff he doesn't. We need more people like him on TV.

  • I love how Letterman peppers him with sarcasm and then gives him praise... Classic!

  • "hip hop"

    HAHAHAHAHAHA

    HAHAHA

    HAHAHAHAHA

  • the crowd is really awkward

  • @marts1233

    yepp, I thought so too, what a retarded crowd

  • BoozeFTW! I can smell the Jack Daniels on his breath THROUGH YouTube!

  • Just n act . at the end he takes off the glasses n shakes hands.

  • best interview ever.

  • good actor

  • omg Joaquins poker face whenever David asked him a question just killed med!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • but it's pretty crazy

  • the guy is crazy, he did not even know WHAT speech, kkkkkkkkkkkkk ...

  • damn this playback is annoying.

  • i wonder how he feels, about his brother river phoenix RIP, so sad

  • so so so soooo glad this was just a joke. hahaha

  • Hahaha!

    This is comedic gold!

    Absolutely brilliant.

    'Some of Joaquin's best acting, and Letterman (the poor guy!) was on top of his game, too.

    Brilliant.

    And for Joaquin's sake, I'm glad it was a hoax for the mockumentary (I love 2:40 where you can see him trying so hard not to crack up!).

  • Joaquin pwned the crowd.

  • he was just acting. watch the interview with letterman after this one.

  • Dear Joaquin... Whenever you need someone to shave you ... let me know ... ;)

  • @cpinto75 what the fuck kind of weird creep comment is that?

  • Part offootage to be used in a "mockumetry" called Im still here done with Ben Afflick. Letterman knew and played along. Film came and went, its well known this was all one big sketch

  • whattadick!

  • i may be wrong but in the last few seconds of the interview when joaquin stands up and quite genuinely shakes letterman's hand after taking off his glasses and i think that might be the point where he tells david what just happened!

  • On his return interview Joaquin said he that and got in trouble for doing that

  • it's all a joke...people take it too seriously...

  • @13needforspeed He was acting. The follow-up apology by Phoenix is on the CBS's YouTube channel.

  • @2:36 dave starts to say 'are you kidding me'

  • I thought this interview was genius. I loved it. Dave always asks the same dumb questions to the actors in his shows and he always expects them to play dumb, not say much of anything. It was refreshing to see Joaquin breaking the rules. There is a lot going on in that interview. Very smart guy. Even more knowing it was a hoax. He got to say all he needed and walk out of it.

  • why does it seem like they use a laugh track ...

  • @kinglmssj They didn't

  • @13needforspeed

    dude this was a hoax

  • @UserPickForSix Yea it was a hoax.. but Letterman didn't know that. lol

  • Comment removed

  • they'll laugh for anything

  • @syedtalhasxr they are american ;)

  • Joaquin Phoenix: Greatest troll in the world.

  • Comment removed

  • @AvedisIzmirlian Galafianakis takes A LOT from Andy Kaufman.. Even down to the Wardrobe.

  • most boring interview ever

  • I thought the whole thing was amazing. I'm a big fan of Joaquin, and this was just a treat. Andy Kaufman style, but not a rip-off.

  • the wry smiles he breaks out in every so often make it obvious he is talking the p**** and really only acting. ..Letterman ,i don't thin picked up on Jaoquin's nods at the audience..... fantastic actor.

  • daves in his element here

  • priceless you know that seems unlikely you will be in our rolodex lmfao
