He still looks the same age as he did in Nov 1955.
Aaron Richards not much different
+rainbowsalads haha
It's weird cuz he was born in 1964
What does a minus 9 year old look like?
Obviously, like Crispin Glover.
At 2:45 the camera man thinks "I should really get the clock and this hand sanitizer into the frame"
***** He does it again at 3:02. lol
CharDee MacDennis He clearly moves the camera both times that people enter the room through the door. Just wants to kinda get them off camera.
Pete Rockefeller the sponsorship money must have been crazy lol
yeah I am almost certain that the sanitizer is empty as it always is when i walk by one and try to get some...
lmao clearly he's just trying to put the extra people entering the room off camera but this comment is hilarious
If Joaquin Pheonix wasn’t chosen for Joker, the Crispin Glover would have been my 2nd choice for sure
Joaquin Pheonix? Never herd of her.
Crispin has and always will be my first pick for any role of "deranged lunatic falling apart literally mid breakdown turning into a mass murderer" kind of roles
Crispin is the best lunatic type villain character actor
Glover would have done it better even though that movie is great
Crispin was so excited to see The Joker. He loves Joaquin. I just love an actor that loves everything about their work and supports those he thinks are exceptional at their craft. Hot damn he looks fine for 56 here.
@@audacious6312 He’s 57 and I agree! And I’m glad that he has respect for Joaquin and wanted to see Joker movie. I hope he did and liked/loved it or will see it and enjoy it.
Dressed like a Victorian undertaker for a radio interview...
That's how he always dresses. I read that it was tough to get him to wear the clothes that the yuppie McFly wears at the end of Back to the Future.
someone styling himself "Doctor Parnassus" thinks Crispin is pretentious. Huh. Really useful data point, there.
William Shaw he didn't care for the costume but thats not why, it was because he disagreed with the movies ending message of money=happiness
@@xbmpr Somebody should ask to see his long list of billionaires who gave it all up for the happiness of poverty.
😂😂
Basically, at the time he thought that Letterman trolled him by going astray from what they had planned for the interview, so he proceeded to troll him back, but the bottom line is that apparently he was legitimately pissed off, although now he views it as a huge misunderstanding: to put it in English.
No, man...c'mon...c'mon.
Thanks.
@Alexander Octopus Cortez Still, it was a priceless bit of hijacking on Glover's part. :)
Or even more basically, he got pissed which is exactly what most people thought had happened. Only he now thinks he can gaslight everyone with some other bs Hollywood explanation about spiritual enlightenment or something.
@@deelowe3 - It's not as simple as that, in my opinion. I think he was for sure doing a bit. I don't think he was trying to intimidate or threaten him, which is where the "misunderstanding" happened.
Wow, a coherent Crispin Glover. He is a fabulous actor who did more for actors than pretty much anyone else by legally taking on the production company of Back to the Future for using his likeness without his permission AND WINNING. he deserved an award just for that!
nothing he said made any sense. and this is him on a good day?
You thought that was coherent? I think you need to seek mental help.
I do agree he deserves a lot of credit for fighting for control of an actor's work and likeness.
Not coherent
Thank you. I thought it was open. Word salad also.
Coherent in a Biden kind of way.
Crispin is one of the most eccentric actors to ever live and I have such a crazy love and appreciation for his art. 👋 Be a Crispin.
Your comment is actually relevant to what he was discussing. He isn't eccentric, he is thoughtful and honest and the corporate mindset is too label him as eccentric...don't fall for it.
@@krimpoo he does eccentric performances, his letterman appearances being prime examples
@@peabody3000 ...touche'
I was focusing on his theatrical performances.
Drumming up an audience to see his performances is another matter...but good point.
He knows how to play the game.
Be a Crispín. I wish i had the courage to be a Crispín.
There's Only One
he totally steered the conversation out of the subject.Brilliant.
I was like "am I crazy or did he answer the question"
Dude is a complete narcissist.
No he's not he's a cool person don't be spreading lies about people @@akshonclip
@@sammytorres3340 I’m not “spreading” anything. Its a known fact in the industry.
what...did he...
The most interesting people are generally eccentric like Glover.
I loved watching Conan O'Brien interview him. He really opened up, and they fed off each other. Neither one treated the other as weird. It was fun to watch
Crispin is an interesting character on its own... I really tried to understand his point, but when he talks, he tends to go deep inside his mind, and at one point I wasn't even sure if he was still talking about his weird appearance on Letterman or media conspiracy?!.
Ultimately what i got is: YES he did the interview as a Rubin, a character from a movie nobody had seen yet, Letterman got angry when he tried to kick in front of him ..etc...etc.
And the reason why he did it, was because he saw him characterized as a weirdo in the media, he knew Letterman would mock him as he often insult some of his guests, so he decided to show up as a character to caught Letterman off guard! But then he got thrown in a cab for it.
As a result, when someone from the general media ask him about the incident, he doesn't confirm or deny he even was on the show! He usually throw whatever story to avoid talking about it, on Letterman or in any other interview (on mainstream media).
It's very confusing, so I could resume it as : he's a little bit paranoid and would rather show off as a weirdo in order to throw people off guard and it's all for comical effect!
The only problem is you need to get how "absurd comedy noire" work to even understand some or his interview. Maybe he should make an auto-biography to elaborate on his mindsets, he's quite a unique character!
He even wanted Georges McFly to become an even bigger loser at the end of Back to the future than he was at the beginning, instead of a stereotypical rich 80's douche (it was the 80's American Dream. Crispin wanted something else!)
Marc-Andre Larouche You are giving this moron WAY too much credit...
That is what he's trying to get across in the interview though if you take the time to decipher it. I wouldn't say Glover is a moron, just very much in his head and ADHD. I have the same problem getting my thoughts across clearly and concisely aloud, often stumbling over my words and repeating the same things worded differently. that said he's not perfect and has his issues, but taking the time to try and understand what people are saying can pay off and give perspective and understand as seen by Marc-Andre's understanding of what Glover said after giving it some actual thought.
Bro you write very well! I hope you do it professionally.
Yeah, that seems like a good summary. So funny I got thrown on to Crispin Glover thread from article on Michael J Fox that just came out. Yes Glover is idiosyncratic for sure.... that doesn't mean he is an idiot. So, maybe not to everyone's taste no doubt, and a bit muddled in delivery but hey so what, he's eccentric.
clowny clown clown, this guy is a hero for people hwo has adhd, like me.
I constantly tell people about his merciless trolling saga of David Letterman. People really underestimate Crispin Glover, he’s a comedic genius!
The trolling was his attempt at promoting his film
He was promoting Ruben and Ed, but the film was delayed for a few years after the appearance, so nobody got it, lol. If you see the movie, it makes total sense because that was his EXACT character. The platform shoes, the wig, glasses, bell bottoms, the way he speaks and behaves, everything
his success was limited, how limited was yours. Think about who you put on your pedestal. I see a flawed bitter but yes bright actor, nothing more.
Crispin Glover, if given the chance, would rival the best actors of our time.
Absolutely.
He already does
…no, no he wouldn’t. Idiot.
He had many chances during the 90s. He just doesn't have the box office draw.
"Hey Ted, where's that fancy corkscrew for the wine bottle??.............Ted!??" 😂
"Hey Ted, where the hell's the corkscrew?!" (takes cleaver to face)
WHY WASNT HE THE JOKER
He looks like the joker from back in the day. Or maybe I'm tripping bc that's old school
He's too dark and introverted for the Joker, but he would make a killer Riddler.
@@kyzf def
No, not the Joker. I think the Riddler is better suited for him.
He's a pretty scary Mr. World.
Actors like him are what really made the talk shows. The hosts were great too. Even if they didn't seem to see eye to eye, they were both entertaining. You actually looked forward to a celebrity interview back then. They weren't all great but, better than now.
He filibustered like a mf 😂😂😂😂
He's profoundly ADD, it sucks.
what the heck is a rant?
Yeah, I had know idea what he was saying. He's good at sounding smart, though. 😆
I wonder why he didn't explain that on the Letterman show the first time he was promoting a movie, which looked very funny, called "Rubin and Ed" they started filming around 87, but the movie wasn't released till 91. You can find the preview here on youtube. And it has the infamous shoe kick in it, and his wig.
Adam Campetti That's exactly right...he was basically wearing the same get up from the movie!
Saw him do one of his performance art pieces a few years back. He's a genius....weird, but a genius
Genius?
Really?
Is say Einstein and Tesla were geniuses but um, ok......
@@mattjames7718Sometimes people are geniuses in a specific area but not in others. Glover is an artistic genius. That's not as impressive or useful as scientific genius, but it is still a kind of genius.
He is an amazing troll
Is he the joker fr 🤔
@@ahhwe-any7434 Thats a great idea.
I think Joaquin Phoenix patterned his interview style and persona after CG
I love this dude. Not enough people like Crispin Glover out there. He would have been great at anything he chose. I wish I did not give a crap what ppl thought about me so I could forge ahead in artistic endeavor with total focus.
💯
👍
Say that when your daughter brings him home to meet you.
@@sidsimon5963 😂
@@sidsimon5963weird thing to say
I can translate; he said they set him up on letterman by treating him like a kook, so he gave them what they wanted.
Three and a half minutes of talking without actually saying a single solitary thing.
Trev Moran that's what I thought too.
He was there promoting a film as the character he played in the film.
They were supposed to play a clip, that would have given context to why he was being a weirdo, but they didn't play the clip.
Instead they ambushed him with a negative newspaper review of his work.
Not knowing how to respond, he improved some weirdness.
it's because he didn't want to say anything, he doesn't answer that question
Beef Chavez is right. He was playing his character from "Rubin & Ed" ... Letterman rarely catches onto these characters when people try them on his show. Would have worked if Crispin had let him know or had been in rehearsal or something. More a failing on Letterman's part to notice ACTING, imo.
Erilis000 I hope, I just thought he was tripping lol
This is a real actor that has to contend with a mainsteam Hollywood world. So sad.
The whole Letterman thing is simple to explain. He was doing his character from the movie, literally as if that character was on TV for the first time, and pretending to be super nervous. Letterman introduced Crispin and instead Ed the character walked out. Letterman didn't know he was doing the character because Crispin didn't tell him. The audience knew they even yelled out "nice shoes" because the weird shoes and the kicking are in the plot of the movie. Fast forward and the movie is largely forgotten leaving the interview seeming even weirder because now everyone watching it is essentially like Letterman assuming that is the real Crispin. I don't think Crispin anticipated Letterman being quite that freaked out. If he planned the whole thing as a performance piece using the movie as only one level of it it's pretty genius but I still think Crispin didn't expect Letterman to be quite that weirded out. Letterman literally thought Crispin was either high, insane or both and once he did the kick (again actually in the movie) Letterman became genuinely afraid of him.
Letterman is an idiot. The same thing happened with Joaquin Phoenix.
Thank you for explaining this! It all makes sense now. I had wondered how anyone could be that odd in an interview
His character from the movie was actually Rubin not Ed.
To which movie are you referring?
@@jonathanwoods9843 Rubin and Ed is the name of the movie
The Letterman appearance was his attempt to be like Andy Kaufman
His attempt at explaining just made me more confused
That’s the point Bois lol that’s the joke
Man... this dude is waaaay brighter than we give him credit for!
Who is 'we'?
@@DrMcMoist 😂
I won't give him much credit. HE IS A FREAK.
What I got from this, was nothing about Letterman, but why he doesn't like answering media questions about Letterman or anything in general that could cause the media to spin his words in a way he doesn't like. He'd rather chat with friends or fans on the street about it than anyone in media. So instead of answering, he gets all rambly and veers the discussion elsewhere and confuses the person asking so much that nothing gets said. It was his kooky Glover-esque way of saying "no comment"
Or so I think. Perhaps. Possibly.
+comedycat2 I say: "Clowny Clown Clown" to what Crispin just said !
Exactly. He's way... waaaaaay too much work. That's why he doesn't get much anymore.
It’s crazy to see that Crispin Glover has not aged a day since Back to the Future
Those two guys are still in the background of the interview?
He’s just such an oddball. Truly eccentric. What an interesting personality.
I wish he was in bttf 2&3, oh well. Rivera Edge will always rock!
Oddball for sure!!!!
English is not my first language and I understand that the media changes his words and turns propaganda. That I think is what he was saying
dude...what THE HELL is he talking about?
this was his schtick on Letterman. It made people talk. He rose even faster after that first interview on Letterman because he was so unconventional. But really He was parroting Kaufman pretty hard. "No publicity is bad publicity."
See: ruclips.net/video/7dYjdKbMT_c/видео.html
James Donnelly........Crispin does not have any paranoid feelings, just explains what happened, nothing more, u know that Dave has always tried to mock some of his guests (and it's not a problem for Crispin to deal with it) but in this particular situation it didn't works well for nothing, look in that case there was an obvious lack of fair play in that television show, as you well said, he attended the show in "character" (promoting the movie "Rubin & Ed"), at the time, producers and Dave not clarify it during the interview and they left Crispin abandoned without a script adjusted and placed out of context so he tried to impro a crazy- funny behave ......... Ok that was a little weird, but it's not Crispin's fault ... and come on man, the critique of the corporations for things like that It's obvious and fair, bcause it's real, nothing that u don't know ...
@James Donnelly Letterman WAS a dickish douchebag in that interview. Actually got booed by some of the audience.
Acid.
you cant work within a broken system in order to fix it
Thats actually exactly how healing happens.

Lol my last comment was two weeks ago and you tell me to shut up haha.
you don't het it, he simply didn't talk about it
I love that hes always wearing suits. Hes so eccentric, I really admire him.
Andy Kaufman, Crispen Glover and Joaquin Phoenix..and even Madonna. Sane newsworthy shock. Same purpose.
"What's Crispin Glover like? Very weird. Please stop asking me the questions." - Thomas F. Wilson A.K.A. Biff Tannen
Everything he's done since the 90s has been revenge on Hollywood
yep, bitter. "hello! Mcfly!"
I'm here because I want to understand this man.
Me too!
I'm not sure it's possible to be fair.
Big brother is watching Crispin too....😁
Crispin is ahead of his time in understanding about corporatism and propoganda very interesting guy
That dude in the back with the scarf is like: What the fuck is he saying?
I've always assumed he was acting in a role/and being a bit of a "troll", a blending.
Crispin, I love ya brother, but you got a busy head. Relax.
Best way I've heard it described
Those with racing brains wish they could shut it off. As I'm up all night, calming my brain by watching Crispin Glover interviews. :)
What you really said: Im too stupid to understand what hes talking about so I'm going to be demeaning and all of the other stupid people can congregate to me like flies.
Seriously. I doubt you understood half the words he said let alone comprehend them as a whole. I'll give you homework: What does Non-sequitur mean and how does it apply to what he said.
@@Zanenoth lmao, that's not even the point. He was talking just to hear himself talk.
He's saying "my weirdness was a problem, so I challenged them" Aubrey Plaza does the same thing!
I’m not into older men but DAMN look at him !!
You find that awful middle part haircut and his bird beak nose attractive?
@@gdawgs101 Yes
@Kite Kawa The fuck does race have to do with this? Also calling Jimi Hendrix just a "black man" is hilarious...
@gdawgs101 yes totally
Ok, this guy is crazy, in a genius way. He's totally not getting in the way of an awesome rumor! David Lee Roth would approve.
All he had to say was "drugs"
This guy sounds strangely a lot like Jordan Peterson.
🤣
Both autistic?
He was playing a character from a movie....that wasn't released until several years later.
Crispin Glover has a childhood friend lookalike that he put on the show in his place.
Crispin is on a different level. He's like David Lynch, Sigur Ros, Andy Kaufmann, Mike Patton, Jed McKenna. If he levels with us, if he slips down to our level, it cheapens his gift. It would be a disservice to us.
Your latter comment is what destroyed Robin Williams.
I understand what he’s saying...where’s the confusion
He's a very intelligent man, if you don't understand what he's saying look up the big words and expand your vocabulary.
You know what is just as entertaining as watching this guy act in Back to the Future? Reading peoples comments about him. Most amusing indeed.
I honestly think that he is only actor who can replace Madds Mikkelsen in Hannibal.
all these years later, and he still trolling .. GREATNESS
To anybody still wondering about this: Crispin Glover was promoting the film Rubin and Ed at the time. He dressed as the character Rubin, whom he plays in the film. His mannerisms and speech mirror the character. I don't know if Letterman was in on this or not, but that's what was going on. The film used to be on RUclips. It's worth a look. Really funny.
I watched that interview for the first time just a little bit ago, and it looked like he was having a panic attack. The way he looked at Letterman, and then to the audience. Maybe he'd stumble with his words, and the audience would laugh, and he'd pause and look back at the audience. He was like a wild animal staring people down from inside an aquarium at the zoo. It wouldn't be hard to understand or empathize with someone who would be scared in a situation like this. It's possible he was playing a character, and it's also possible he was on acid, but I just think he was frightened and was having a panic attack. Maybe I can understand just because I can relate, and have had severe anxiety my entire life. That said, I don't blame David Letterman, nor the audience for their reactions. It's just the roll of the dice. It's what was in the cards, and it happened. All there is to it. Nobody is perfect.
Come on, he's a fucking actor
That was a character from a movie
I like that Crispin is pointing out propaganda in all forms of media. You will hear people call it different names, like optics, communications, marketing, etc, but it all has sway with audiences whether we realize it or not.
Crispin is operating on an entirely different level of intelligence.
Or to put in simpler terms he has a few screws loose Lol!!!!!
@@brandonstewart7145sounds like you weren't paying attention to what he was saying
Ok Had to check the comments to see if it was just me... thanks guys lol
he could do Kermit the frogs voice!
........Crispin just explains what happened, nothing more, u know that Dave has always tried to mock some of his guests (and it's not a problem for Crispin to deal with it) but in this particular situation it didn't works well for nothing, look in that case there was an obvious lack of fair play in that television show, Crispin attended the show in "character" (promoting the movie "Rubin & Ed"), at the time, producers and Dave not clarify it during the interview and they left Crispin abandoned without a script adjusted and placed out of context so he tried quick to impro a crazy- funny behave .........

They should make another back to the future movie with him going in the time machine to fix the past and make the movie end right.
I just realized How the hell did I get in the Crispin Glover rabbit hole???? I perfectly understand what he was saying. It was a fight agianst the corporate slugs.
He said he was on Letterman 3 times, he was actually on Letterman 4 times, twice in 1987, once in 1990, and once in 1992. In one of the interviews he talks about how him and this guy called Rubin who looked like him went and saw the summer solstice and that they liked pretending to be each other.
He also keeps bringing up his Johnny Carson interviews in the Letterman interviews kinda hinting at that he probably didn't have time to do the first Letterman interview and that it was actually his lookalike Rubin who went to the interview.
So it's one of two options
1. The first interview on Letterman was his friend Rubin and the rest were him.
2. He is bonker nuts.
Glover should get a role in a bond movie!!!!!!! 😎
Living legend who gets shit for questioning
Think for yourself. All of my heroes and heroines have always told me to think for myself and question everything and sometimes even go so far as pushing you away if you attempt to follow them as a leader. I appreciate that. The world is a lot better when you can think for yourself. I did not come here for an explanation, I got it when I watched the Letterman appearances. My parents also insisted I think for myself and question authority. I just enjoy watching to see if other people get it.
I like this cool actor. I've seen him in Charlie's Angels, Like Mike, Willard, and Hot Tub Time Machine.
This is how you get out of being fired when called into your bosses office. By the time it’s over you’ll be walking out with a promotion and they won’t know why.
I love that Crispin understands that the Huffington Post is propaganda! Love it!
Sad the top comments are ppl who didn't understand what he was saying.
Sad that you're so insecure that you have to pretend that random babblings have some deep meaning that only you understand.
@@VideoHostSite maybe...that was 6 yrs ago i was a lil pretentious lol
crispy neither confirms nor denies he danced like a spaz in friday the 13th 4
He is a complete actor.
the one thing i wanted to know what was in the box that he brought on set?
He probably took slow aging deal over potential Hollywood A List game and fortune lifestyle deal.
Another gormless interviewer, where do they get these people?
He was on letterman after his alter ego performance and he talked about it with letterman the while time. Did he forget? The clip is crispin letterman 92
Seriously, what the fuck did he even TRY to say?
So, still no explanation? You’d make a great politician Crispin.
So basically with Crispin Glover's statement he acted like that because he thought it would disarm and throw off Dave Letterman's typical interview style. Kind of like trolling Dave in a manner?
If you have an ounce of intelligence and you watch the Letterman clip , you will know it's an act .
He never shook that Willard look.
I get what he is saying. It's like how, 10 years after Mel Gibson's DUI incident, he still occasionally gets questioned about it when he is promoting a film, even though it's like 10 years ago and has nothing to do with whatever film he is promoting. Once the media latches on to some dirt, they never let go.
Crispin Glover is such a wide arrange actor and I appreciate how he really makes a character come alive. He is a better actor than most and way better than Tom Hanks. Thank you Mr. Glover
He is soooooooo underrated. Give him work if that is his wish. Jeez Hollywood.
Crispin is a brilliant actor, too bad that he went not casting for more films/series. Very underrated actor
I love this man...
Being a weirdo keeps you young
TRANSLATION:HE BASICALLY SAID THAT DAVID LETTERMAN IS A JERK AND THAT ALL THAT HE WAS DOIN IN THE LETTERMAN SHOW WAS WEIRD PROPAGANDA FOR A FILM
When this video ended I sat there pondering what he said for a little while and all my brain could muster for me to say was....... "What?"
I thought , I thought a putty cat. I DID !I DID THOUGHT A PUTTY CAT !
Hwy NotSam... full show @ where?
He was never good at confrontations.
Such a thoughtful/honest human being,discussing VERY important subjects.
Mass corporatiztion is 'the' most important subject in the worl as it informs every other matter of importance,starting with climate change.
