Crispin Glover on Letterman


Date: July 28, 1987
Evidence: The first symptom is the wig. We're not sure what George McFly's hair looked like prior to this interview, but we're pretty certain it didn't look like that. Then there's the clothing. He's dressed in striped pants, a heinous purple shirt and a pair of black platform shoes that don't appear to fit him. Keep in mind that this is '87, not the early '70s. If you're wearing what Crispin Glover is wearing during this interview, then you've clearly been high long enough to have gone shoe shopping while fucked up.
As far as behavioral symptoms, we're not really sure how to describe what Glover is doing here. At first he seems to be terrified of Dave and the audience, but then he challenges Letterman to an arm wrestling match and tries to jump-kick him in the head.
Drug(s) They Were Probably On: Difficult to tell. At first it seems like a classic acid freak-out. He is looking at Dave like he has three heads and the audience like they're a big tangled lizard orgy. But then he starts getting physically aggressive. Our theory: a second drug along the lines of PCP, taken right before he went out, kicked in halfway through the interview.

Glover's late night appearance was staged, he was in character for his new movie, which apparently no one saw a commercial for. =]

Glover was in character from his movie Ruben and Ed. Nothing drug related about this, in fact it was near genius.

Yeah, that's totally German. I took four years of French, and there isn't ANY in there.

I'm not German, but I took German in high school and I'm pretty sure he's talking German, not French.

Just quickly, Are there any Germans on this, because NO. 2 doesn't sound like French to me, more like German.\
Would anyone like to clarify?

Ok, not a bad list, but you left off the biggest one: Charlie Rich at the 1975 CMA Awards where he burned John Denver's award. It was truely blasted on something

I always liked Crispin Glover,He toured through Cali with a weird slide show he was doing and it was great. Hes not A list but always pops up in these weird roles and spices up a film or tv show real well.

Pretty sure Crispin wasn't on drugs. It was one of his "characters". All in all, he's nuts. Just watch any of the independent movies that he's produced.
