Crispin Glover Video

Letterman should have knocked on his head and gone: "Hello? Hello? Anybody home?"

I totally think it was a "character" he was playing. No one's publicist would DARE let them walk out like that unless they had a reputation for being outragious to begin with. Especially in the 80's. Only my opinion!:raiseeyeb

Maybe a GOOD publicist wouldn't have let Crispin go out there like that, but.... I have no doubt that he was on something, just like that clip of Sly Stone on Dick Cavett from the 70's. As often as celebrities are liquored up/doped up, it's amazing there aren't more clips like this.

It helps that so few shows are done live these days.

Crispin was a odd fellow. He was just in character.

"In 1987, Glover appeared on Late Night with David Letterman wearing a long wig and platform shoes to promote his new movie River's Edge. His bizarre appearance was equalled by his strange behavior, which is thought by many to have been influenced by LSD. After a failed attempt to challenge Letterman to an arm wrestling match, Glover feigned a karate kick, at which point Letterman ended the segment and cut to commercial. Glover later explained this as appearing on the show in-character, participating in the interview as the character of Rubin."

I figured he was acting. The whole thing played out too perfectly to be real. He should have thought it out a bit better though, as most of the time it did seem like he was high.
