Glover did his first appearance on Letterman in character as Rubin to promote the release of Rubin and Ed. In this interview and the one following it he uses delaying tactics to waste the interview time, to avoid explaining his behavior in the first interview -to keep it a mystery. He uses the uncomfortable awkwardness in this one, and in the following one launches into a long and unrelated story.
This was really hard and uncomfortable to watch. I’ve seen Crispin Glover do his sideshow and I’ve met him, he’s a nice guy but he’s clearly INSANE!!! He’s really fucked up! Even though I admire him allot, there’s definitely something messed up going on with that guy. I don’t care if he was acting, it wasn’t funny and it was in bad taste. Letterman had every right to get him off the show, and yeah why would anyone want to have dinner with someone like that? Crispin was obviously demented.
Crispins a great actor…Back to the future Mc FLY HELLO!
Sigh…I miss the talk show format of the 60, 70, and 80′s.
@darthspeaks acid me thinks
Geez, Letterman’s “Top 10″ dates back to 1987? Makes sense.

I want to explain this:

Letterman didn’t know. Now you know. Okay? Okay.
What are those things in the case?
Awesome!!! Yeah Glover was an over-compensating DWEEB. But he isn’t a threat to any-one but himself.
Letterman proved himself to be an even bigger A-hole: “I went college.”
Oh please!!!!
@Beerlejuice dude its an act, its a tv show, they script everything before hand including what they are going to talk about and for how long

@HaydnFitzsimons
He’s appaearing in character as a character that he played in a film that he made a few years later.
The Joaquin Phoenix episode was staged…..poorly too.
