10 Craziest David Letterman Interviews

[AluCineBlog]

is not "Juaquin" is Joaquin Phoenix

[SliverMonstrosityInc]

The other Harmony Korine (#5) interview is much more strange. He's a wearing a suit in that one, check the other one. lol.

[NinjaPotato01]

Courtney love is insane....and she murdered one of the greatest men to ever walk this Earth.

[niyaterzieva]

Farrah FAUCETT? oh god

[sk8terdiva]

BWAHAHA CHER OMFG

[SummerRoses95]

Farrah FAUCET??

[ImTwixtorXD]

what Ive learned from this video is nobody goes on these shows sober lol

[dmitrriy]

David Letterman sure looked weird back those days, or maybe it's just me having seen him only the last couple of years.

[Wizdome1]

Crispin Glover is a weirdo!!!

[SamDavey12]

Last Words: "im gunna go check on the top 10" XD

[RBNightlinger]

#1 Worst Speller in America: Dude who made this vid.

[ZackVitus]

Crispin Glover!

[WillardStillesHere]

Number one Crispin Glover, YES!! :D

btw you spelt his name wrong, but no big deal :D

[lonewolf7999]

You didn't have his match up with Howard Stern....WOW!

[joseanzaldua]

Lol, he spelled fawcett as faucet x)

[ChadMStevenson]

@gigi051000 He was doing a promotional tour for a movie that was starring in and when he did this interview he was in character... he didn't tell anybody though.

[noobyfrank]

00:5 to 0:11 well that ruined my childhood ...

[missanita6]

@noobyfrank why did your parents let you watch this kind of show?

and most important, you dont like boobs?really?

[noobyfrank]

@missanita6 lol 1st off that was a joke , and the girl that did the dancing played in zack and cody,,,

[missanita6]

@noobyfrank Really?I didnt knew Drew played on that show, now I understand that a little bit, haha!

[darrylayles]

@missanita6 k drew berrymore was not in zack and cody youre fucking stupid COMPLETLY DIFFERENT PEOPLE

[missanita6]

@darrylayles noobyfrank was the one who said that drew played on that show, not me, please, learn to read, thank uuuuuuuuuuu

[jamieelynnx]

@noobyfrank You clearly do not know who Drew Barrymore is.

[chrisstevensjunior]

how can I be on this show?

[Fightthepowification]

Why the fuck did Kurt Cobain stoop his himself to the levels of that fuck?

[018019681356]

@Fightthepowification ffs he fucking married her, had a kid with her, he loved her, shut up

[TDWTB]

Farah I love ya but that was a blonde moment.

[SemiBaked]

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

[chrisstevensjunior]

@SemiBaked ADHD is better xD more hyper and no need to do drugs

[TheLeslieLOL12]

I had a feeling Crispin Glover was number 1.

[chuckyko]

I still remember the Cher interview.

[tonyleicher]

courtney love is a diabolical creature

[ennylekalb]

Oh dear! Sometimes I talk and act like Farrah. I lose my train of thought, it makes arguing really impossible!

[ZankonProuductions]

I know crispin glover is NOT that insane

[Chibekoe]

You shoulda tried to fit the Burt Reynolds thing in there somewhere.

[iheartjohnnydepp]

Wow, dude. How can you spell Joaquin Phoenix, Farrah Fawcett and Crispin Glover's name wrong? Especially since you spelled Joaquin's name correctly RIGHT IN THE DESCRIPTION! haha. Wow.

[ladycplum]

Crispin Glover is one of the spaciest cases on theplanet...even worse than Joaquin!

[themoz3]

99.9% of letterman interviews are very dull

[7y54]

2:18 i can chick??? WTF??

[ultimate8pac]

@7y54 KICK

[karkkiliininam]

Courtney's always oh so classy.. :D yea but she's kinda hot in a gross way.. or gross in a hot way :)

[wearethebomb42]

RIP Farrah Fawcett...

[thecuddlewagon]

One more note on Kaufman: Some outlets were wondering if Joaquin was pulling a Kaufman with his bohemian "act". I never followed up on the story, but I found the connection interesting.

[ApathySidecar]

@thecuddlewagon He was, as was Crispin Glover. They were all in character. Leno was in on all except maybe Crispin, don't know that it's been confirmed or disproven.

[thecuddlewagon]

The Andy Kaufman interview was a prank. The wrestler that hit him was one of his "secret" sidekicks. Kaufman lived his life pranking the media. He was a man before his time. I think we need him so badly in this day and age. RIP, Kaufman...if you really are dead. (Some people think he faked his death and funeral. Watch Jim Carey's "Man in the Moon" if you wanna know more about this comedic genius. Could change your life.)

[issuesissues]

so <3 Crispin!!!

[StillDumb]

0:10

[gigie555]

Oliver Reed interview was the weirdest. At one point I thought he was going to get up and punch Letterman.

[sararm88]

omg its JOAQUIN

[TheArmandoRomeroShow]

Poor Dave

[hitheresunshine]

Courtney was TOTALLY high.

[klwewf]

Andy Kaufman is number one. Everyone on that list was trying to be outrageous - due to what Kaufman started initially. And Crispin can just be taken off the list - period.

[thescarycarrie]

@klwewf AGREED! Andy Kaufman, as I previously stated on here, was a genius!

[kodatastical]

lmao drew pwned courtney

[klwewf]

@kodatastical Drew is better than Courtney in every way! :)

[razhurs]

Number 5, Harmony Korine. What was crazy about that interview?

[MiffyeHalak]

Courtney must've been #1.

[adamdyerseve]

I'm sorry but the craziest was obviously with Madonna 1994!

[4ha6]

Poor Crispin =(

[Lowtiercomputer]

No wonder Kurt Cobain blew his brains out.

[luistua1984]

Harvey Pekar must be here

[KennyWorldshow]

thats some messed up people

[3434aaaa]

Looking at some of this celebrities makes me have second thoughts about wanting to be famous.

Nah !!! I'm just kidding.

I still wanna be famous.

[mindtree2003]

A very lovely movie. Enjoy this one at Movie Watcherus website free.

[TriplePalindromous]

Joaquin Phoenix looks like the guy who plays Leonard in the Big Bang Theory.

[MFLuder77]

What about when Gillian Anderson made out with David Letterman...TWICE!!! IN ONE SHOW!!!

[schmeltingaccident]

Crispin Glover...The fucking man!

[MissGreenDay7]

It's obvious to everyone including Dave that Courtney was going to lift her top and Dave still kept looking.

[PeteyPoison]

I love Courtney Love's spontaneity in recalling the Drew Barrymore incident lol, then again before she got sober, she was always looking for an opportunity to flash everyone.

[brageyboy]

lol nr 1 is awesome, never seen that before!

[thescarycarrie]

Andy Kaufman was a fucking genius.

[klwewf]

@thescarycarrie Should have been number one.

[thescarycarrie]

@klwewf Andy Kaufman doesn't get the recognition is deserves. The man was brilliant.

[klwewf]

@thescarycarrie Amen! :)

[chrisstevensjunior]

@thescarycarrie how

[dammam9999]

watch out david .. .. he can arm wrestle

[PAULFC93]

The Joaquin Pheonix one was a bad Andy Kaufman-esque interview....he was trying to be awkwardly funny.....but it was just a complete disaster.....Great actor though lol

[holm81]

@PAULFC93

Sorry to say, but you're wrong about that.. He actually started doing "hip hop", and it is obviously an example ofwhat drugs can do to you.....

[flaredfullyfinally]

@holm81 @holm81 sorry to say, but the whole interview and hip hop career was an andy kaufman type of joke. not "an example of what drugs can do to you." he is making a mockumentary. plus do you think he is going to get into serious drugs after what happended to his brother river phoenix?? come on

[holm81]

@flaredfullyfinally I don't think it have nothing to do with an Andy Kaufman joke... First of all it's nothing compared to Kaufman, there's not a shred of joke it it, second it seems so obvious! Seriously, drugs are harmful. And yes I think that he would. You gotta keep in mind that the Hollywood environment is another world, it drives people crazy and lots are on drugs...

[flaredfullyfinally]

@holm81 uhhh do you even know about andy kaufman?? "seriously drugs are harmful"... no shit buddy. but this is all fake. he did use drugs on camera for a fake documentary he is making with casey affleck but you need to wake up. the joke is that this is supposed to seem real. plain and simple

[holm81]

@flaredfullyfinally yes I know about Andy Kaufman...

I don't think this is an Kaufmanesque joke. Tbh I havn't checked any later stuff from him, so I can't know for sure, but it's way too druggish man, it really is. You can spot it. It sounds a little like you guys live in a fairytale world where drugs doesn't exist.

Well I'ma go check if I can find something more recent from him. If he's all back to normal then you where right. But I don't think so =]

[flaredfullyfinally]

@holm81 he did a video with miley cyrus and liv tyler about a website suicide prevention... look it up on here. you will see the truth. he is not some junkie, cokehead, crack addict like you make him out to be.

[thescarycarrie]

@holm81 He has a documentary out about his journey into hip hop. It's intense, but it made me lose a LOT of respect for him, he's an asshole.

[restlessr84]

What? No Gary Busey talking about life on his uncle's ranch?

[klwewf]

Kaufman should have been Number 1 - period.

[72grantorino]

Glover's first name is Crispin, not Crispian.

And he wasn't high or tripping during that interview. It was a bit, and Dave was in on it. It was to create a little stir so as to get some interest in Glovers "Clowny Clown Clown" album.

[gozimus]

so excellent!

[AllanHP]

McFly is High!

[disobediance]

lol, her name is Fawcett, not Faucet

[415jdookie]

LOL @ madonna's freaky ass

[wolfgirl83234]

I personally think the Letterman show is a chance for actors to get up on stage and act like dumb asses for a good laugh. I gurantee it wouldn't happen on Oprah or Tyra or Ellen...just Letterman.

[emilyjeanius]

was Crispin Glover for real?

[kazthebastard]

He was REALLY fucking high

[72grantorino]

@kazthebastard No he wasnt.

[jakynme]

wat??!! how did courtney love nott get #1??

[rustedrails]

LOL Joaquin used to go by the name, "Leaf". Shoulda kept it.

[iwantorlando05]

Wow...I see someone has spelling issues:

6. Joaquin Phoenix

4. Farrah Fawcett

1. Crispin Glover

[niptuck117]

And you totally botched the word "botched."

[alienufosarereal]

or butchered

[niptuck117]

@alienufosarereal You got me there.

[imbobsaget]

wow you just totally butched joaquin phoenix's name

[retox]

All the way through this I was thinking "Crispin Glover better be #1"!

[nemesis700]

drew barrymore flashed him....she got no ass tho...llol...that paris hilton interview was hilarious...

[pdm28cin]

Just Crispin, not Crispian. Or just McFly!

[cannonfodder4000]

ah farrah you will be missed :'(

[sagaofbluewing]

The bit with Jerry Lawler was staged. But still awesome.

[klwewf]

No one knew that then. Many STILL don't know.

[imnotrlyadoctor]

Poor Dave.

[Aussipwn]

courtney u hyped up druggy u

[Pallindrom27]

You should trade Harmony Korine & Cher for Jeff Altman & Harvey Pekar.

Cher didn't do anything but call Dave an A-hole & I dont know Korine enough to say for sure but Altman & Pekar's appearances were notable for their eccentricity.

Aside from that you could fix the spelling, add Jerry Lawler's name to the one with Andy Kaufman and then put Andy's bit in it's rightful spot as NUMBER ONE!

[fuzzymini12]

It's not in order.

[Pallindrom27]

I'm not sure what you mean fuzzymini12.

If you mean that the the number #1 ISNT supposed to signify the best I'd disagree.

That's universally accepted as a matter of course that the person or object in the number #1 spot is at least SUPPOSED TO BE the best especially considering the countdown nature of a list like this. My point is the same as others here have made regarding Andy Kaufman in general and the incident on Dave's show with Jerry Lawler in particular, that IT should be number #1.

[DarkPizza]

I'm pretty sure I read something about the CRISPIN Glover one being fake- he was acting.

[dizzymabuk]

yeah he was in character...from one of his movies..Rubin & Ed,I think.But at the time the movie wasnt released yet.The show was done in 1987 and the movie was only released like 3 years later or something.

[wadagirl]

that is one Crisp(in) cracker!

[FFXPWNS]

coutney love for the freakin win

[Beenie0085]

courtney best american girl

[apkryptos]

It's Fawcett and it's CrisPIN.

number 2 is epic.

[samsquamch94]

marlyn manson should have been here

[SAlvr103]

I agree

[kignlt]

Do you wanna arm wrestle? I've been taking....'

I wonder what :3

[SASUKE100117]

4 LOL 9 LOL 7 LOL and jerry the king lawler LOL wwe made

[CookieMonsterLives54]

#2 THANK GOD 4 Jerry the King Lawler

[JokerishDish]

It's CrisPIN Glover. -_-"

And Andy should've been #1, friggi'n epic! XD

[johncage1000]

And it's Farrah *Fawcett*, not faucet, like a bathroom fixture.

[klwewf]

@JokerishDish Exactly on Kaufman.

[mekissingyou]

Farrah :) she looked gorgeous there.

bless her xxx

[CamiloSanchez1979]

wow..that babe at 1:20 is so fucking hot

[JDL2594]

i knew the madonna one would be on here...

[bjnboy]

Did Cher bleach herself?

[snaredrums123]

RIP Farrah

[Maryhc67]

Omigod, I remember that Crispin Glover interview when it first aired. That is one strange fella!

[tumadrexuxa]

maury is better than letterman and who is crispian glover

[bman2665]

He played in the Back to the Future's. He played in Rats. Friday the 13th part 4. He's an actor.

[Hounsfield]

marty's dad in back to the future 1

[anythinggoesjoe]

i would have said "i can also kick " than i would have kicked him right in the balls

[gut197]

what was wrong with that guy?

[poutouellet]

When I saw Drew at #10 I thought: Wait, how can anyone top the most memorable Letterman moment ever!?

But then you helped remind me of all those other wonderful wackos. TY!

[guruatomik]

Farrah Faucet? The inventor of the widely used bathroom fixture? Wow.

Not related to Farrah Fawcett, the sexpot actress IIRC.

[YoureAHoeAndDontKnow]

lol @ Cher comment!

[Ninnjaro]

Where is Beavis and Butthead?

[thatwassolastweek1]

its. and act like Stephen Colbert. he's playing himself as another personality.

[onyxsplash]

why did they bleep out hole but not ass?

[EvilCorporateWhore]

because 'ass' is not actually a swear word; it's a term for hoofed mammals. hole isn't a bad word either... but, putting them together is. so they had a choice... Cher calling Dave and ass... or a hole. they went with ass.

[MacReady118]

I think Harmony K should have been replaced with Harvey Pekar for number 5

[Campingcam]

number one must have been smoking some pretty bad granola

[CasPioneer]

rofllDAVID ROX

[Charmedone9805]

LMAO what was Courtney Love smoking that day

[Rob206206]

lol whos drew barrymore i fort he was a man

[indiesk8r1]

I had no idea what Harmony Korine looked like.

[strawberryrobin]

What was so bad about the Harmony Korine interview?

[Falconsfan35]

number 3 lol

[celess21]

crispin rules

[XdoveboyX]

ROTFL 4 XD!!!!!!!!!

[820423]

is the last one for real?

come on.. tell me the story, if anyone knows. heheh

[henrik6754]

Yeah, he was on cocaine or something.

[kuushaal]

it is said that the last one was real..he got kicked off the show during the commercial break coz he came close to "denting lettermans head"..he came back on the show a few years later..looking much better!!

[QTMarkus88]

Some people think Crispin did it for publicity...

[sinbysin666]

He was playing a character from a movie he was promoting. But no one knew that, cause the movie didn't come until years later.

[Scike]

Crispin Glover is a freakin' genius.

[POOPERMCPOOPS]

Number 5........ wow Idg it

[Pallindrom27]

Farrah Fawcett's last name was misspelled in the vid which is a little egregious considering her health situation.

Did anybody hear what notorious eccentric Crispin Glover said about the Dave spot? Was he doing a "bit" as Andy did so many times and as Joaquin tried his own hand at recently(I believe.)?

[TIDDzyWELL]

Why isnt Marylin Mansion on here he was on there and he is creeepy as helll!!

[Treseler7790]

Poor david? He knew it was coming. Look at his face beginning from 1:47.

Hahahaha.. David, David, David..

[xaphan321]

Who slapped andy?

[Pallindrom27]

Wrestler Jerry Lawler slapped Andy Kaufman out of his chair xaphan321 but it was a deception they worked on together and Lawler kept it a secret for years. It wasn't until "Man on the Moon" (The Andy Kaufman biopic with Jim Carrey as Andy) came out that anybody really knew for sure.

[graceland313]

hmm didnt recognize jerry lawler -- lol -- ty 4 the share
