Crispin Glover on David Letterman
 

Found this the other day, a classic clip...thought you'd find it interesting. It's Crispin Glover, of Back To the Future fame, tripping on Acid on the Letterman Show...

Wow, he was fucking gone. Even Letterman couldn't keep his cool with him freaking out like that.

Thanks for digging up that hilarious blast from the past. I remember seeing it on a Letterman special years and years ago, possibly when he switched networks. "I'm strong... and I can kick" has been an inside joke between my friends and I ever since.

Absolutely fucking hilarious...

Dave (to Paul): Is this the first time you've seen a guy drown?
Paul: Who? You or him?

I miss the guy. Reminded me of Andy Kaufman.

It's not like Glover is dead or anything.

True, that...
Just not around doing his schtick publicly anymore like he was before.

Y'know, right after I typed that I had to scuttle off to IMDb to make sure he wasn't dead.

Turns out he has 2 movies coming out this year.

Man, Crispin Glover is one weird guy. He's hilarious in the video, I first saw it a few months ago, and it's still funny.

I read about that a few months ago and must say that although the article described how weird it was I wasn't quite prepared for it to be that odd. It's almost painful to watch. You gotta wonder if he was doing an act or if that's his real personality.

Thanks for finding that. I had wanted to see it for quite some time.

Wow... I actually got a tightness in my chest watching that. Excellent stuff.:lol: What was in that box, oyster shells?

what was in that box?

weather or not he really was on acid.. I feel really sorry for him, really... it's like everyone's [potential] imagined/delusional bad acid trip actually coming true. I'm surprised that made it to tv =P

that was hilarious. I like when he wanted to armwrestle the best...

thats fucking hilarious!

he's fucking out of control... and its brilliant.

Hahaha, that was hilarious. "And I can kick." Usually hard to tell if he's high or not because it does just seem so weird.

yeah, that clip is probably one of the best celebrity on-air fuck ups out there. i'm suprised that pretty much everyone but Crispin was able to keep their cool. classic shit.

Crispin Glover's a weird dude.
He records albums as well as acting, and uses the money he makes from stuff like "Charlie's Angels" and "Willard" to make his own experimental films.

I think he'd make a fantastic Joker.

I read some article about him when Willard came out, he is apparently dating a supermodel.

On acid? I've seen people on acid get very paranoid, and they acted just like that. Except they weren't on national tv.

Yea, Crispin is great.

He is deffinatly himself/
GOt to give him kudos for fucking up Dave s night

Man..that guy is weird. Lay off the drugs kids. :D

wow...that guy is MESSED UP. Thanks for the link. :)

:lol:

That was great. I have never seen the clip before only heard of it. Thanks for posting it!

--jaded

and i thought he just acting. thanks for the link.

I wonder if people call him Crispy for short... or maybe even Extra Crispy.

Oh man, I never heard about this...yikes.

Has he been on Letterman since?

Beautiful. Simply Beautiful. *tear runs slowly down Dylan's left cheek*

I was watching that when it was first broadcast, many years ago. After that clip ends the show went to commercial. When they came back, Crispin Glover was gone and Dave made it a point to mention that the kick came within an inch or two of hitting him in the head, and Glover would never be back on his show. It seemed funnier then, now he just seems pathetic.

wish I could see how Dave handled it after the commercial break. Would be interesting to observe.

This is money. Thanks for the link. Very hilarious

LOL, that was definently one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I would not want to be David Letterman that night. :p

Looked to me like a kid who wasn't prepared for fame and instead of getting the big head went bonkers because of the nasty press.

I thought it was all a schtick (because of the "nice shoes yell" and the wig) but when he kicked and then grabbed Letterman. WOW.

I have seen stoned actors (Farrah on Letterman, Val Kilmer on Leno, etc.) on talk shows but never saw anyone act like that (except Kaufman and the Lawler bit).

hmm, I've seen Farrah but not Val - would love to see that if anyone has a link to the vid.

I've never seen Farrah or Val. If anyone has links, please share.

The Crispin video was hilarious. He was so freaked out.. and Dave just didn't know what to do with him. Good stuff.

Crispin was on Letterman around the time that Willard came out and he was totally different than he was in that clip.

He was almost nerdy geeky that last visit. Wow what a change.

I believe this is the clip.

I haven't actually watched it, yet. So I have no comment.

The Val Kilmer clip is hilarious. Thanks for finding it.

hahaha the Kilmer one was good :D

Both those guys were outta there. Incredible.

He's been on Dave's cbs show but it was when dave was out with shingles and will ferrell was hosting.
