Crispin Glover on David Letterman (1990) *GOOD SOUND QUALITY*

[REKONBALL2]

David Letterman is such an asshole! he thinks he is better than everyone! fuck him!

[scottvska]

"You're sort of living Eraserhead" LOL

[greg55666]

Oh wow, Crispin even mentioned Reuben here. That's cool.

[trayzzay85]

Letterman is a royal a**hole

[MrMoobags]

While Leterman may be a c0cksucker, people need to realise that Crispin is trolling this shit out of him here.. not only that but this was the SECOND time he did it! Guys a genius...

[767scarecrow]

i was walking on the ground,i didnt make a sound,and then i turned arouned,saw a clown,standing on mound!

[artiebarnes]

I produced that album and wrote the songs! Do you care? Crispin is a great guy. Eccentric of course, but a nice guy-

[crackawise]

clover is even a whackier douche-tard when hes sober...what a retard.

[turnthefanon]

*GOOD SOUND QUALITY* - my ass.

[Bassdude]

@turnthefanon Yeah well you should hear what it sounded like before I cleaned it up.

[Bassdude]

@turnthefanon /watch?v=aFePPdrRQdE

[suicidesqueeze]

wow....my opinion of letterman just did a 180. what an asshole.

[almondcroissants]

Crispy #1

[thegoontick]

Crispin Glover kicks ass

[joelgoodsun]

we are usually a byproduct of our parents, socially speaking. crispin has to have had strange parents. i guess that would mean letterman had a-holes for parents.

[2004dale]

i don't care- he's adorable in this. i think i'm drawn to eccentric people. i think it's their oddness that makes me feel at home. weird- i know. he comes off as nervous and hyper in this as well. from what i've watched i think he's cool. :p

[2004dale]

oh my goodness glover is so handsome in this. wow.

[ufcfighter453]

he wasnt in back to the future 2 because he wanted more money he thought he was a big actor after the first movie! career over!!!!!

[rightbrigade92]

i love letterman. he's the one late night host (currently) that actually grills his guests. Last time glover was on he was crazy and letterman wants to find out what went down. the fact that he had him back on the show is pretty astonishing

[MyCrownOfThorns]

Throughout the entire interview Glover is thinking of ways to separate Letterman's head from his body....

[sconl]

Found it, under "Crispin Glover on Letterman, 8/21/87."

[sconl]

Actually, this isn't the clip I was thinking of, but it's still cool.

I could've sworn he came back on a few nights after his first appearance & said that he had acted that way so people would have something to talk about around the watercooler the next day.

[sconl]

Thanks for posting this, as most people don't know that he came on after his first appearance & explained himself.

I don't suppose you have any clips of him with Carson?

[divahime378]

i Iove when he was all giggley in interviews. :D

[reaganremembered]

Hell, I want to kick him myself!

[leebeer]

letterman is just awful..has he ever done a good interview?

[TigerTaint]

i think letterman is justified in being a dick. this guy comes on his show, derails everything with his oddball antics, and shows no respect. letterman just wants to talk to the guy without any of the bullshit. glover is a douche.

[jahezeeus]

first clown is hot

[Jedibuds87]

just saw him where i work....and he is weird in real life man...

[Sabhalta]

letterman may be a cunt and fuck his interns, but...wait I have nothing good to say about him...thought this was going somewhere...oh well.

[erasermcfleafly]

um this sound quality is garbage >_> i can hardly understand them

[rickpsusenior]

I wonder who's more cocky: Letterman or Leno.

[SuperSuckmydong]

I want to punch letterman right in his cocky, rude and ignorant mouth.

[johnkiedis27]

think Mcfly think

[hokteepower]

@jayrobson88 In case you've never noticed Conan O'Brian and Jay Leno don't degrade their guests like that. It's okay to kid around with them but not sit there and put them down the whole time. That was just rude.

[lucaslikesthomas]

Do you know the TWO things I hate about Crispin Glover? Well this is them:

1. He turned down being in BTTF Pt2, now I don't mind that, but number 2 is what kicked it off!

2. He sued Speilberg for using footage of George Mcfly from Part 1 and changing another actor look like him without permission!

[dysartavenue]

@lucaslikesthomas what speilberg did was injust and unfair, now i love stevens work but he got his just deserved

[Byza01]

Could it be that it is in fact Glover who is playing Letterman?

[ERICKALOVESELLIE]

Letterman is such a dick.

[IVisionLive]

Letterman is an asshole to those he doesn't really like or want back on the show... Basically he'll be an asshole to anyone he can.

He was an asshole to McCain and REALLY nice to Obama.

[lighhtningking]

poor crispin glover i feel bad for him. letterman stop bein such a dick

[TheMiamifuentes]

Letterman you stupid Nazi jew cornhole, your mad because glover is more virtuous than you, you dishonorable slouch you make a living sitting on your ass you are garbage I hope your spawn follow a more humble hard working example because you are so stupid. gap toothed bobble head

[bobethe]

Glover is ODD, fakest interview on Leterman was Joaquin pretending it was fake and him kissing his ASS, that was a bad act, but people believe that, not the real breakdown thing, WATCH Abel Ferrara on Conan Obrien

[tobeyntucker]

@bobethe Amen... Crispen atleast is real. Letterman favors fakes, Loved rivers edge since I was kid. I always respected Crispen for being a human being. Non corrupted hollywood talent. The Abe interview by far takes first place.

[ZachsGayCat]

@tobeyntucker Yeah I like androids and robots and animals better than humans.

[ilovefreddykrueger13]

Crispin is sucha good sport Dave is a dick to him but Crispin being the nice guy he is just ignores it so he saved Dave a kick in the nuts & a trip to hospital! So Thanks 2 him

[MetallicBill]

I don't mind him, I do think he just had a funnier show in the 80s on NBC. Without the Biff Henderson and Chris Elliot there, and Larry BUD Melmon, it's just not the same. Even Paul is not as entertaining as he once was. The World's Most Dangerous Band in Late Night used to be pretty amusing themselves!

[pitykid]

As a kid,I thought wen I got older,I'd understand Letterman's humor.I never did.

In fact I'd grown to hate him

Unfunny jokes& constant power trips.Lackeys in th audience,inflate his ego with unwarranted applause

Watching MANY different vids on YT,I noticed he's a dick &a bully,unfairly to people who are different &don't deserve it(e.g Harmony Korine)

Flip-side is wen beautiful females are on,he becomes sleazy& apologetically chauvinistic(eg Natalie Portman)

So Someone please tel me why hes funny

[anwealde]

these two are made for each other

[drumdude46]

Dave goes for a "laugh" at anybody's expense, to appear "Funny" in the moment.

I've never really liked him. everything for him comes for a "I"m in control" place........ sure, there's all that "Timing" stuff, it's all about going for the cheap shot, "Placed right after someone just answered his question. he knows how to simply go for the "lowest-common denominator" laugh. at the guests expense.

basically? he's a douche. always knew it..............

[alcoholya]

@drumdude46 and then sometimes his guests just appear like total buffoons and walk right into the Joke.

[MidnightTrashh]

@SchitznGigs damn. Someone needs to take their medication.

[rogiesonzaph]

i hope the next time Crispin goes on Letterman he would really kick him in the head.

[MetallicBill]

Crispin turned down the BTTF remakes because he wanted "STAR" money, that Bob Z mentioned IIRC, was the same as Michael J. Fox, and if the money had been right, he'd had made the sequels.

[N8trone]

clowny clown clown is the beat

[myarseisround]

fair play to crispin for taking all that shit.

[normalpsychology]

It's a battle. David pretty much controls what happens though. He bashed Crispin with wit... but unfortunately Crispin's persona kind of absorbs that punishment and uses it. They're both feeding off one another, but David wins. He has more money, he's funnier, and has his own show.

[MetallicBill]

@normalpsychology Glover has his own show...watch the Tom Green videos on YT, he's smarter then your average Hollywood Randy Quaid it would seem!

[MetallicBill]

@MetallicBill Randy's really out there, however, he should have his own show. They say his wife feeds his paranoia and they need to be kept apart!

[beatle11]

He's just a bit crazy.

[nonstopping]

All who thought that Letterman (the host) was an asshole, watch Crispin Glover's interview from 1987 on Letterman.. you'll figure out who is..

[funnyloe]

i don't know guys, I kinda like letterman, he treats his guests right. why does everyone finds him such an asshole

[jerrytimes]

@funnyloe Because he acts like an asshole often.

[GnomesAmok]

Yeah, to this day, Letterman should seriously apologize for fucking up what should have been a great time with a genius artist.

[nubbs]

@GnomesAmok

you should seriously apologize for fucking up what should have been a world without you in it

ps. i blocked you, so i'll never have to read YOUR trolling comments, bitch. laters

[elsoda]

OH.MY.GOD.....THIS MOFUKA WEIRD!

[rb333]

Schizophrenia is great

[harlemstreetz]

That motherfucker is weird

[PoisonPandaKisses019]

Letterman is such an asshole...

[avlisk]

Dave is so cool here. He knows the audience is about to get up off the couch and turn the channel, so he's trying like crazy to squeeze some entertainment out it. Nice work.

[breathingwater76]

clowns are evil. crispin glover is a riot & letterman is not a jerk, he's just doing his job & weird guests are not easy to deal with. i wouldn't want his job.

[axisofpeter]

Seems pretty obvious they're playing off each other. At various points, each plays the straight man for the other one. Geez..understand a joke...

[t3mpl3sofsyrinx]

Letterman had neither the wit nor the savvy to handle this. Glover owned him again.

[jigalojim]

dave letterman can be such a wanker sometimes

[miracleworker12744]

Did he ever come back to David Letterman's show after this?

[victorhv23]

Letterman is a CUNT

[jayrobson88]

@victorhv23 Christ what a bunch of Morman-sounding pussies that are commenting on this video. Do you want your talk show host to be a nice guy? Or a guy with personality who puts on interesting television by being a hilarious smart alec.

[carstereobandits]

@jayrobson88 "Mormon-sounding" that's weirdly specific

[casanovacraig12]

clowny clown clown is effing scary looking

[KookyCanuck]

LOL @ *good sound quality* description. Yikes.

[necolas111]

if i was in letterman shoe , spically after the story of rubin >> i would slap this guy on the face and Air it everyday

[C0sm0sTheM0use]

I like everyone's excuse about how he's always "In Character".

He's apparently been in character his whole life.

[artifice22]

@C0sm0sTheM0use Well said.

[jehouse]

Just kick him already. Geez.

[EvilSnooche]

Calling out stupidity in a sarcastic way is when David imo is at his funniest... even though crispin who cares made that clown video aimed at David... David still made him look stupid with the comments afterward... check out between two ferns with Ben stiller... same type of stuff just a little more over the edge....ull love it.

[ThePokeyPictures]

@EvilSnooche no but zach galifianakis was kidding and they were buddies, these two arent letterman was just plain rude

[whitelionlane]

Atter watching Clowny,Clown,Clown fully and this interview, I think Glover was in character 'Mr far' on the first show. And he made CCC as a rebuff to Lettermans dickish handling of Crispin's character piece. It is great that Crispin got Dave to play a clip of a video calling him a clown and equating his cronies to livestock. Dave completely misses it ,then continues to 'clown' his idea of the man in front of him

[fossilbox1991]

yall are all idiot, crispen wasnt even acting normal so why should letterman have treated him normal?

[ThePokeyPictures]

@fossilbox1991 he was in charachter, it was wrong for letterman to be so rude

[bumblefritz]

He's trying to get people to wonder if he really is crazy or not. It's all part of his act.

[andrewcramer13]

whats with the box around crispin's head from 1:25 - 1:29?

[kingalow1]

I wish he had kicked that condescending pompous-ass cocksucker in the head.

[kingpingu]

Wow. Letterman is a total moron.

[TheClarity93]

I'm English, and i don't get it, is Letterman famous for being an asshole?

[MetallicBill]

@TheClarity93 David is legend...and you are??? NOBODY! Dang, man, He always gets insulted for just trying to keep the show flowing, no one likes dead air on TV so Dave's job is to keep things flowing 1 second to the next, and mostly for his part, ti's caustic humor but all in the frame of mind of enjoyment, not malicious

[milkb0n3]

@MetallicBill 50 years from now, people will STILL remember Johnny Carson. And they'll remember Jay Leno. Hell, they may even remember Conan O'Brien. But they won't remember David Letterman. He's a hack. He's always been a hack. And worst of all, he's an asshole about it.

[MetallicBill]

@milkb0n3 That's a knee jerk reaction to Letterman, to wonder why he's mean, but it's his type of humor, to poke some fun at the guests for a CHEAP laugh, but I always liked him, I just think sometimes it doesn't go so well, and some times he's off the mark, but I still like most of what he does. I watched Letterman from the early 1980s, you have to understand. He was deemed the Gap Toothed Prince of Late Night at one time, back then!

[pitykid]

@MetallicBill

True,Letterman finds his own dry humor entertaining.You can notice every show, Letterman on a power trip.He enjoys exerting his power over others.

And the lackeys in the audience feed him applause.

After watching many different vids on YT,I noticed he's a dick to people who are different(e.g Harmony Korine)He's a fuckng bully

The flip-side is when beautiful female guests are on the show.He is sleazy& apologetically chauvinistic(e.g.Natalie Portman)

I hate Letterman with a passion

[p0ooo0p]

@milkb0n3 Jay Leno can go stick his chin up his own ass.

[notoriousmichal]

@TheClarity93 Its arsehole Mr English

[EnigmaOnThe5th]

Back when Letterman was awesome....

[EnigmaOnThe5th]

@TheClarity93

you are a troll....shut up already.

[DJBludLust]

@TheClarity93 Yes, yes he is.

[rhcp484]

@TheClarity93 letterman IS an asshole.

[chanteleigh1]

Sounds to me like you get it perfectly. :)

[hcvang]

@TheClarity93 he used to actually be a funny comedian... but since he got this show, a bunch of writers to write his jokes, he's gotten the way we all get when we stand at a supermarket counter all our lives... bitter, tired of life, and eager to make everyone look like an idiot to make himself look better.

So yeah, these days he's just a jerk. Sometimes. Some think it's part of a schtick he arranges with some of his guests - like he was in on glovers first appearance.

[michael96686]

@TheClarity93 you don't get what

[chrisjlat]

@TheClarity93 This is the kind of person every American male strives to be... lol!!!

[psychedelicstan]

I love Crispin Glover in this clip. He very skillfully, and politefully, avoids talking about the previous interview (for whatever reason) and puts up with Letterman's mean comments with a smile. I can understand why Letterman wanted to discuss the original appearance, but they should have dealt with this in the pre-interview instead of trying to sabotage Glover.

[DreamofWires]

. . . it has been a few years and yet David is still not funny / cannot understand a joke.Crispin remembers, it's David who wants to forget because deep down inside he knows that he should have been kicked in the head by Crispin in order to knock the funny into him.Well, at least David played a snippet of Crispin's amazing video even though he didn't get it.So he poked fun, but not in an intelligent way.What does David do when he sees a Bosch and "doesn't get it"?And David went to college?Hhhmm

[Wildcock23]

Yeah, Letterman's a prick

[BuildingAScene]

It cracks me up that he does a different character every time he appeared on the show. Brilliant.

[VitoPossilipo]

"Good sound quality"? Is this irony?

[StaticGirl22]

Man Crispin Glover is a talentless piece of shit. Good one Letterman.

[flashbang504]

Crispin owned letterman.....led him down a road to nowhere.

[comic93]

"I have a friend", "That's a good start" LMAO

[MYERZ08]

GOOD SOUND? are you fucking jokin?

[retro80stv]

@MYERZ08 Do you have a better copy from 1990? Post it.

[Darklordabc]

sometimes David Letterman is a bit merciless

[LowPro15]

so what actually happened with him? why was he acting weird?

[sambam6492]

i get kind of an alex trebek vs. sean connery vibe from these two...

[THELIVINGJOKE]

After the heart attack he really changed for the better. I don't know how he could have been such a prick to guests.

[dantedraco]

Letterman = Dick

[BevHillsKid]

@dantedraco

Letterman=Jew....this explains his behavior.

[finfangfoom716]

crispin killed it! totally swung the conversation his way and made letterman look like a clowny clown clown...

[RyanFromBako]

Don't you all see. Crispin does this because he KNOWS it annoys Dave. Crispin was probably offended by how Dave treated him the first time he was on. Dave is smart though because he knows it makes great TV so he keeps inviting him. And Crispin, I bet, loves making Dave uncomfortable.

[mnkyspz]

Letterman is a dick. 

[moolovett]

These interviews make me want to kick Letterman in the head myself. xD I think Crispin was just being a genius and messing with Letterman, which I personally thought was brilliant of him! We love you Crispin! ^-^

[roger9065]

Yes, Crispin is totally in control and was in EVERY interview. Letterman simply displayed the fact that he is a complete idiot in EVERY interview! I cannot think of someone more stupid except maybe Sally Jesse. Letterman proves that you can make it in show business even if you are someone with special needs. There's hope for everyone!

[Armbaandsperle]

Crispin Glover is so cool.

[DeadKold]

letterman is a total douche

[tristanv1]

Watching this makes me uncomftroble.

[PappyHab]

Honestly, I thought Letterman was cool up until the living "Eraserhead" line. That was totally uncalled for.

[deathmetalhippy]

Dave Being a dick is overStated. Th truth is he has Crispin on the show all the time and is on of his favorite and memorable guests.

Also, Letterman, is very polite in letting Crispin plug all his stuff and inviting him on the show again, anytime.

[KillerSaiyan]

glover is a retard get over it 

[ggggggggwar]

@KillerSaiyan I agree man. This guy doesn't have his shit together. Instead he just takes everyone elses shit.

[RaptureFilmz]

This is the best change of subject since the balloon dad tried to explain why he was busted on TV by going on about grocery shopping.

[TheGreenPlague]

Is there anyone out there who bought the album and figured out the theme? Let me know, I'm curious.

[pdw2309]

i cant help but like this guy and i loved him in fri 13th pt 4

[ExsanguinateMalice]

Letterman is the definition of douche bag.

[Asafschulhof]

Crispin Glover is SO autistic!

[HickeySaidFcukOff]

david wants 2 smack the mouth off him

[SoleyNSilent]

Glover was recently on Chelsea Lately. He doesn't look much different haha

[proni1]

kill yourself

[linkfan160]

I used to like David Letterman. But after seeing Crisping's first appearence on this show I hate David for that reason. He called Crispin a "Weirdo" and a "dork" which he is NOT.

[CrusaderEmber]

@linkfan160 Ha! He's NOT a wierdo? He's NOT a dork? You're talking about Crispin Glover right?

[linkfan160]

@CrusaderEmber Like hell I am!

[CrusaderEmber]

@linkfan160 I kinda thought so, and yes dude you are both wierd and a dork.

[linkfan160]

@CrusaderEmber What? What is WRONG with you people?! CRISPIN GLOVER IS NOT A WEIRDO!

[datacipher]

@linkfan160

He's weird enough to have tried to appear in character, without the host knowing, and totally blown the appearance. He thought it would be entertaining and hilarious, but it was just a painful train wreck....

[linkfan160]

@datacipher Well in my opinion. He was just really in character but it wasn't like he was on a set or anything and I think that's what made him blow up the character. And David Letterman teasing him about it didn't help either

Bottom line: Crispin Glover is awesome. David Letterman sucks. Period.

[SammieDeLuce]

I remember him in "Friday the 13th Part IV"

[CryingGypsy]

Crispin is soo adorable

[NYgirl4HollywoodLA]

aww he is soo cute XD

[Ikesgurl123]

Haha I love his laugh <3

[tbarton00]

".... I thought that was gonna be kinda stupid, but it's not!' hahahaa

[Meatykins]

I absolutely despise Letterman. He is such a pompous, disrespectful dickhole.

I love how he rolled his eyes when Crispin said he went to a prestigious private school. Little does he know that Crispin is lightyears above him intellectually. And I don't get why he's so sore that Crispin "tried to kick him" on his first appearance. Crispin obviously wasn't TRYING to hurt him, he's just bitter that he was upstaged by a far superior personality. Letterman needs to get his head out of his ass.

[tbarton00]

@Meatykins I don't get why you'd keep watching Letterman videos if you despise him. I despise the band ABBA and I can promise you I don't go trolling around on their YouTube videos.

[Meatykins]

@tbarton00 Since you've apparently been e-stalking me, surely you've noticed that I've only watched Crispin Glover's appearances on Letterman. (And Drew Barrymore's "flashing" appearance, out of sheer curiosity.) So how about you connect two and two together and stalk some other innocent girl, weirdo.

[blackfootnavajo]

@Meatykins why do u call him a stalker when he just has to go to a channel to see what kind of videos you watch?

[Meatykins]

@blackfootnavajo I don't find him interesting enough to even take a second glance at his username, let alone go snooping through HIS YouTube history. It's creepy, that's why.

[blackfootnavajo]

@Meatykins its not creepy its the concept of youtube :D so maybe youtube is creepy?

[CryingGypsy]

@Meatykins i completly agree with you.

[futurestoryteller]

@Meatykins It's funny that you think being an upper class douche raised in private school makes you somehow BOTH a true artist and a genius. I've heard Crispin talk candidly about art. He's just as much of an 'dickhole' as Letterman.

[DAC027]

That's what makes Letterman great, he lives to take an uncomfortable moment and stretch it out as far as he can.

He is the king of late night

[nirvanakid247]

I want to kick him in the head.

[triplej89]

Letterman is and will always be an ass...
