Joaquin Phoenix on Letterman

I'm sure it as an act, it was painfully obvious.
It was also painful to watch because it was just... so... LAME!

Years ago, Farrah was on Letterman and acted totally spacey. They pretty much labelled her the craziest guest they've ever had.

Personally, I thought Crispin Glover was the craziest;

Me too.
Very talented guy, I hope he isn't imploding.
They should just bring back Crispin Glover to make it authentic
Yeah, but to be fair her brain is filled with botox, silicon and bon bons.
The Glover link to me, like the Phoenix interview, seems to be completely staged and faked. The linked Fawcett interview? She's clearly coked/stoned/drunk/ditzy out of her skull.
I'm Rick James, bitch!
This whole Phoenix thing is most definitely fake, a method acting, performance art, satirical take on celebrity that's all being filmed for a "documentary" by Casey Affleck.
Glover is a truly weird dude. I saw a spoken word performance of his in Toronto once, and he is...a truly weird dude. His Letterman stint, I have no idea whether it was contrived or not from his side of things, but Letterman most definitely did not know he was gonna' do that and was pissed for quite awhile. When Glover was on the show again in 1990, it was a big deal, as Letterman is known for not being very forgiving.
But the whole Phoenix thing...it's obvious at times he's trying not to laugh at both the audience's reactions and some of Dave's lines, and not only does he take off the glasses, shake hands and thank him at the end, he also apparently asked Dave to crank up the annoyance after the commercial break, which is apparent.
Farrah, I don't know if there ever was a decent explanation for that, beyond "retarded." But I've seen her interview in other things, and she's never seemed like that before.
It's not as funny or as captivating when you know it's all an act. Still good though. I saw a clip earlier today when I didn't know anything about this and I laughed out loud a few times. It still got a laugh when I saw the whole thing and knew more, but like I said, it's not the same. You could see his act slipping in the second segment after the commercial break. The "I think we owe Farrah Fawcett an apology" line from Letterman was funny too.
Crispin Glover was in character, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaNf-A_3fC4. Now whether he was lost in the character or putting on an act is debatable and as to whether or not Dave was in on it.
There's also this to chew on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l_Xm8GQW14
Dave has a bit of history with these alleged "performance art" type things.

I don't think anything will ever top Madonna's apparence back in '94. The "infamous" one.
