The 5 Most Obviously Drug-Fueled TV Appearances Ever

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.

Aww..you guys failed to add one of my favorites! Joaquin Phoenix being interviewed by Jay Leno.

It's nice to know the Americans yearn for real satire too. AFHV was never funny... mainly because, well. Being told what's happening as it happens in a baby or cat voice is probably the BEST way for me to not find it funny.

Guys, Crisping wasn't doing drugs.. It was a skit he does often. He was making fun of Jimmy Farr.

Crispin Glover looks like he just got shanghaied and is still trying to figure out where in the hell he is. More than likely though he was going to a PGAST convention (pretty girl and shiny things) judging at the collection of necklaces he had and looking like a bewildered transvestite. At least he had high heels!

In the video Kinski was rather harmless and civilized. Compared to some of his legendary tantrums during the shoot of Fitzcarraldo or in this interview: http://is.gd/1qRU

It's called 'Ruben and Ed' by the way.

To all those who have no idea what they are talking about regarding Glover:

It's a great movie. It's also where you will find the same character Glover is doing in the Letterman sketch.

Crispin Glover was dead sober, you fools...

you missed out on john stamos on australian tv. The dude was off his chops on the kerri anne show. Maybe he'd been drinking all night, but he could have easily also necked 4 e's. Nonetheless its pretty funny.

56th!

Crispin looks like he barely knows where he is. Also when the audience laughs the look on his face is classic! It's a face that says "WTF?!"

how do you know what richard pryor did all the time? are you a cop? are you a f****n' cop, man? why don't you just stop f****n' with us, man? crack is rock cocaine.

Yeah, thanks Robinstigator. We all know what free base is because we've been out of our parent's basement for more than two consecutive days. You should stop using coke. Seriously.

Posted on 8/6/2008 1:52:33 AM

richard pryor would smoke cocaine all the time. it is how he burned himself up. crack is actually freebased cocaine, and freebasing is what richard pryor did all the time.

Posted on 8/4/2008 1:52:03 PM

Smoking cocaine? Classic.

Posted on 8/4/2008 10:25:25 AM

Crispin has pretty big muscles

and thats one of my friends weed smoking names hhaha

ohh crispin.....

Posted on 8/4/2008 9:25:41 AM

In the Kinski video, it's obvious this guy's on cocaine. Maybe he did'nt snort to much that day. I can spot coke users by the way they develope a lizzard tongue action. lol
