- Most of these clips have been previously uploaded by others. Someone requested I put something together from my own collection, as it's more complete and of better video quality.
All but the last date is in chronological order.

2. October 17, 1997. Harmony Korine. "Gummo."
3. April 20, 1998. Harmony Korine. Book A Crack-up at the Race Riots
4. March 18, 2013. Selena Gomez. "Spring Breakers." A brief discussion on Korine.
5. March 25, 2013. James Franco. "Spring Breakers." An explanation for Korine's bump from the show on October 29, 1999.
6. October 29, 1999. Harmony Korine bumped.
Harmony: “I’m a commercial filmmaker, I’m a patriot, I hide in trees, alright.”
Dave: “There ya go. We’ll be right back with Smashmouth.”
What a perfect way to end an interview segment
I think he's brilliant and misunderstood...his book is about a race riot between black and white and the Jews hiding in trees watching. Very smart...think about it...and his quote you posted is weird out of context but think about it
@@williammurphy2486 oh I totally agree and think he’s a genius/very intelligent; I thought his humor here was amazing and was piercingly subversive, and the fact that Dave delivered the alright here’s smashmouth line after was a perfect punctuation
Talking about avant-garde
Earlier in the interview, he mentioned another group of people who hide in trees. Did anyone else catch that?
RIP
I love that they brought him on so many times and got almost nothing out of him.
Why do i keep coming back to this...
I continue to search for context and meaning with this compilation. It’s oddly fascinating and wickedly funny
This is my 3rd go
Because Letterman did!
Dave should at least get credit for having the best guests return often. Harmony was a better smart ass than Dave and they both knew it.
This is my 4th or 5th.
it’s my 3rd time
“Um, I wanted to write the great American novel, and, or, just a, or a novel, I just, well I just wanted it to be American.”
That always gets me 😂
homie was off the shits
@Brandon S It's just disjointed nonsense. Allen's jokes have points.
It's like his thoughts were crumbling as he was talking
@@blankpool he knew what he was doing. I’m willing to bet he is smarter then 98% of the people commenting on here. Everything he says here is made up and he is snubbing his nose to the establishment. He knew exactly what he was doing. Most geniuses are eccentric and that’s exactly what he is
the caddyshack joke was gold and everyone missed it.
Maybe because it wasn’t that great.
It was shit
Or it wasn’t a joke
Explain?
Yes. Please Explain
"Each film should have a beginning, middle and end, but not necessarily in that order."
--Jean Luc Godard.
Harmony was ahead of his time. He’s adorable
"he reminded me of buster keaton and he was a paint sniffing survivor."
He's lasted longer than the towers on the end titles.
I would love to see Harmony on The Eric Andre Show.
too old now
@@boidinktwistie4389 no eric had on an 80 year old former game show host and it was funny, harmony is two times younger than that. he'll do fine
thatd be sick as fuck
@♢Oui ? I think they mean his personality has changed.
Hot Ones
This is a masterpiece of miscommunication, letterman thinks that korine is joking when he isn't, and then is offended when he tries to play with him. Korine is trying to fit what he's thinking into short soundbites he thinks they want but it just descends into adversarial mood... Being high as hell maybe contributed though!
They got each other well
@@eleanorestes2473 exactly. OP's comment needs to be a masterclass on not understanding humor. Korine isn't dumb. He plays dumb but it's done for a laugh. Theo Von and Norm Macdonald do the same, although all 3 of them are incredibly unique in their own way.
@@jordanmorris5827 With Norm though, you always KNOW Norm is playing with you. It never seems like he just might be goofy because he always comes off as being a step ahead of who he's talking to because he is. However with Theo Von you don't know if he's doing it on purpose until you watch him long enough.
Theo Von plays the fool so well it's unreal. It's all improvisation, and that's what they all 3 do well. They're making it weird and funny in the moment.
Harmony doesn't play the fool, but somehwere between Norm and Theo in delivery.
I...I don't think you get it.
It's evolved into that now, but he wasn't playing dumb. He was anxious as hell as he was still a kid on one of the most watched live shows in television. He was an artist, not an actor. He had stage freight and was nervous like most people would be. Not sure why you think it was all fake and masterclass acting.
Letterman can’t believe that Harmony Korine rides unicycles but it’s the most believable thing I’ve ever heard
We'll be right back with Smash Mouth
What a show! Trolling master and meme song
moving shadow records you already know.
@@Gawdzillest what a way to describe it
Bacon is my aesthetic
world’s first redditor
Gummo and the later Mister Lonely are two of the most interesting, beautiful and sensitive films I have ever seen. This 'kid' was a truly brilliant artist at this age.
Harmony Korine: I-i like, hm, i like Eddie Cantor... I-I like Al Johnson... i want to do a minstrel with, um Tom Cruise, i want him to play it on his knees
Random guy in the audience: YES!!!
I love that he drinks his coffee without him paying attention
He basically said he almost killed a kid and the crowd went wild lol
Because they could see clear as day that he was just taking the piss out of the whole show.
... And then Dave follows it up with " ...blah blah controversial film..." hahaha... like, isn't isn't it may be controversial to applaud a kid talking about intentionally flipping about and somebody almost drowning?? This is just the lowest depths of that "PoMo Irony" of the nineties flailing in it's death throes... or the pinnacle. Guess it depends on your perspective....
Because, it's funny!
@@iuseitToohorrible take. I bet you're fun at parties.
Harmony is such a unique human being, I’ve never heard anyone else talk or act the way he does, each line he says could be a comedic quote out of context but even in context it’s still insane
He isn’t insane or crazy. He is a genius and most geniuses are a little eccentric
@@christianburk2432 Oh?
@@christianburk2432 As someone that has a son with autism that is obsessed with actors and scenes in films, this is what it reminds me of. Even the behavior feels very similar
@@vixxie9390 I see that. He admits to doing drugs but perhaps he has Tourette’s? He looks like he has ticks that overtime he has learned to suppress them, or be more comfortable on a talk show?
@@ExileZO Entirely possible. I am in no way qualified to diagnose someone. I was just mentioning similarities in behavior
He literally doesn’t have to say anything.
The entirety of his mannerisms is just enough to be hilarious! 😂😂😂
It must be frustrating to be laughed at even when you're not trying to be funny at all.
The audience was irritating for that.
Exactly 100%
This is what it feels like having aspergers around people who dont
good job putting this together, when i first watched harmony on dave i thought korine was being evasive and abstract for effect, just like his unconventional art, but after watching his work and reading his bio i realized he wasn't doing that at all, everything he was talking about was in earnest, and wasn't meant to be funny or off putting, what you see with harmony is the way he see's the world, very fragmented, arbitrary, and profound.
he's brilliant, and at a very early age while most of us watch a movie to follow the story, he was dissecting how it was made.
It’s called post modern like drivel. Nonsense
Drugs. He did a lot of drugs before going out there.
@@prankgirl9112 no its called aspergers, or being on the autism spectrum
@@DurtDangle
He has talked about doing a crazy amount of drugs right before going into the interview with Letterman. Many times. He was crazy high, taking both uppers and downers at once. He's lucky to be alive.
I disagree he did throw a couple jokes out there but other than that yes dudes a champion
Harmony is more in on it than people realise. Played the audience well.
Yeah, right. A proper genius.
joaquin pheonix before joaquin pheonix?
he was high out of his mind mate
@@oui2611 Joaquin Phoenix is a generational talent. This guy is a avant-garde hack.
I thought Dave hated him after his last interview
The crazy thing is he’s telling the truth 90% of the time, but as it sounds so outlandish everyone things he’s making everything up
I can count on one hand the most hilarious interviews on Letterman - this easily one of them THANK YOU THANK YOU for loading up this unedited clip - makes laugh harder and louder every time
Imagine if you had six fingers on one hand...then you could have “the six” most hilarious interviews.
@@mobiditch6848 😂
Don, you’ve done it again! Being wanting to watch these complete and good quality for ages! All the best from England man
The second time you watch this your realize Harmony is referencing the conversation. It's not total random non sequiturs.
Dude I have been waiting for this one for YEARS. Thank you!
There’s a great Vice video on him in 2022, amazingly he is still off the wall. Love his originality.
This guy won me over at "bacon is my aesthetic"
its true too
I think they are respectively having fun with each other. They're both getting good entertainment mileage out of each other.
Agreed. Every comment on here are overly sensitive
This is the most amazing video thank you
The genuine laugh after "80 mil" is gold
I think it was more of a mocking laugh
I read this comment before I got to that bit. Made it even more sweeter. 😂
@@connoroleary6542 Nah that was a real laugh from Dave. Harmony caught him off guard by deadpanning something really funny and both the fact that it was funny and Dave not expecting something like that from him just broke his brain and put him into hysterics. You rarely see Dave genuinely have a belly laugh like that but a few people have done it to him, and it's almost always when he's caught off-guard.
Harmony's funny af without even trying LmAo
I think Dave's funnier.
@@comfykeegs Andy?
Pretty sure he’s purposely exaggerating his own personality for comedy.
He might be trying.
He’s trying very very hard...he’s just so odd! Haha
these two are so polar, simultaneously so good
I love when Letterman asked how much Gummo cost him to make
Im not kidding i watched the first 3 interviews over 50 times each (maybe 5 times a year at least) for 10 years or so and i remember the james franco one when it came out and the selena one as well i never saw the last clip until now. thats insane. thank you
My favorite storyteller, thank you for existing
Another gem upload, thanks
"he was a paint sniffing survivor" hahahaha
Nicholas Mackey and it wasn’t a lie either! The lead actor for Gummo - with the funny looking face - was actually a paint sniffing survivor in a documentary hahaha
@@angusraze9638 hey mate, do you know where can i get this documentary?
Guilherme Faria I’ll have to look. It was a genuine documentary and it’s available to see on the tv listings at the time but I don’t know if there is an archived recording. It’s pretty late in the U.K. right now (where I am haha) but I’ll defo look tomorrow
Guilherme Faria it’s not a documentary. it’s the sally jessy raphael show
He's overcome with emulsion
Thank you Don!
How he says "not very good" literally became an inside joke between me and my friends in highschool
When does he say that?
@@conormartin3476when Dave asks him about winning fights
I love harmony’s voice idk why
There's a certain innocence to it
Sounds like the pimply faced teenager from The Simpsons who works at Krusty Burger.
"Bacon is my aesthetic, essentially." - Harmony Korine
Thanks for putting this together!
This is amazing.
This is great, and very smart to put the bump at the end so we see it in context. Catnip for weirdo late night chat show obsessives like this cheetah.
Would love to see a conversation between these two in 2023
I want to go back to those 90s.
This is my favorite video on RUclips.
“I wrote a joke too!! ... I read it in a book”
He said *”y o u r e a s i n n n e r”*
Like that, so I just wrote it
"" so i just wrote it"" sums up Korine and his work pretty well
That first intro song at 0:30 is 'Harmony' by Elton John, just saying.
@SixteenTonesStudio
Since you're mentioning it, an even more 'inside band joke' is the 3rd intro at 19:44, "Corinna" by Taj Mahal.
@@papagreenemusic nice catch, I wasn't familiar with that tune
@@SixteenTonesStudio I doubt that Korine recognized it either...
He was too busy tripping over the stage.... Wasted!
I'm wondering how many other intros tailored to guests I missed over the years...
Harmony is a big inspiration.
I want a stencil illustration of him errantly knocking Meryl Streep over. On a t shirt!
He was just high as a kite. If that's inspirational to you then go and roll yourself one!
Man this kid has some serious anxiety. I feel his pain.
yeah people just think "druggie" but those are close minded people that don't realize that people use drugs because of all sorts of pain / trauma ect
He’s also trolling. It’s an act. The original troll.
Adam Norvell nah man he’s awkward
@@rm3869 he might be awkward but he is 100% trolling. He knew what he was doing. He was a child prodigy and most geniuses are a little eccentric. He was banned from his fourth appearance on letterman because letterman caught him going through Meryl Streep’s purse in her dressing room.
@@christianburk2432 I'd probably go threw her purse as well, look at him he can use a few dollar's.haa
This is truly amazing on both sides, I miss constructive thought
watched these when they came out. Harmony seems more sane and hilarious every year
“I’d use a row boat” harmony giving the life of pi guy his inspiration
I watch this once a year. I’ve seen it three times
Have watched it every few months for many years to keep me grounded.
We could definitely be friends
Recently bought A Crack Up At The Race Riots and it’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever read
A THIRTEEN minute interview without a break with someone like Harmony is kind of amazing, Particularly when contrasted with the social media attention span
was just watching a 20 year old macaulay culkin on a late night appearance and just spent the last 20 minutes trying to remember Harmony's name and find these old interviews. they're gems. loved this guys style
He is one of the best artists who ever lived. One of my main inspirations
Right
Interesting
Relax lol… he’s a talented artist but this is a part of the character he played. He’s an industry created artist.
@@lupefiasco9476 industry created artist? how? he's not a plant if that's what you're saying. just because he's in hollywood or the US, doesn't mean he's 'industry created'.
@@lupefiasco9476wtf is an industry created artist? He was picked up off the side of the road by some obscure photographer and asked to write a movie script
Dave getting the whole shtick at 2:10 when Harmony drops the "sequel to caddyshack" line. His face immediately changes from interested and confused to smug.
Harmony is the kind of guy who sits on the tv and watches the couch.
Holly shit the Quality are spectacular
This is probably my 8th time watching this hilarious video
“Bacon is my aesthetic” Harmony Korine
I really wish that Dave would interview him again on his new show
He banned Korine from The Late Show after he caught the dude stealing money out of Meryl Streep's purse.
@@dildonius yes we watched the video too
@@secondtrruy2484 OK? And? I'm addressing what this comment wrote.
@@dildonius i know, it's hilarious
Dave has a new show?!?
Bro 😂 that “Thanks” responding to Dave’s “interesting piece of work, Gummo” is hilarious
1998, I'm guessing that's when the drugs kicked in.
Yup
Such a legend
i love his sense in style while others make laughs of it i never truly understood it because that's just the way i have always thought,
seemingly to have a different thinking or thought process than those around me growing up but that's exactly what it feels like being a neurodivergent in a neurotypical world and it was always hard for me feeling like a misconception to those around me but when i discovered harmony i felt a sense of resonation and belonging and knew right then and there that he was my favorite artist. he is one of my main inspirations that have helped me pursue myself in life. i realized that i can't make people like me and that all i can do is show them who i am, how i feel, and what i believe and that it is up to them to understand my worth.
Kids was a great film. It really captured the grittiness of a huge counter culture of New York in the early 90's.
Too bad it didn't realize that and instead tried to speak for teens in general and made them all out to be monsters
@@doctorfeinstone6524 I suppose it's open to interpretation.
I think about that move every single time I walk by the Tompkins skate park
I promise you those Kids are still there
Something poetic about "I'm a patriot I hide in trees." followed by "We'll be right back with Smashmouth."
He was 22 in the first clip, yet looked and acted like he was in his early teens. The irony is that he is in his 40's now and looks like he's in his 60's.
I think he was actually only 19 in the first clip but still
Hollywood gonna get ya cha!!!
@@gettintired6744 He was born in '73 so in '95 he was 22
cocaines a helluva drug
great rendition of TOP's You're still a Young Man
“He was a paint sniffing survivor” 😆
he's like a real pee wee herman..maybe he's his cousin..or somethin..
Letterman asked him if he was alright in the third clip and he was balls strung out.
Totally fascinating
This is Pure Pure freaking Gold!
This is where he references Weekend at Bernie's. I love that movie
He looks anxious and the more Dave makes jokes about him makes him more anxious. Or is that just me ?
After reading a majority of his interviews and rare magazine articles, harmony korine was diagnoses with ADHD as a child which explains some of his behaviour.
he's high, that's it...
No he was anxious. Every interview except the banned one perhaps
@@bbm1077 very anxious
Love this so much haha
Awesome.
BACON IS MY AESTHETIC
"you think this is easy dont you"
"Yeah"
25:21 the way he points back at letterman with zero hesitation without even looking at him
My pits are sweating watching this.
After watching this kid, insanely enough, Gummo actually makes more sense now
I can’t believe Gummo got him a Letterman appearance lol
kid grew up in a commune in Bolinas, CA. nuff said. much lov HK
jesus i love him
Love Harmony, but hes definitely off the whoop in some of these interviews. Glad he got past his drug problems
He was acting like this because of drugs, this is who he really is.
What's whoop?
@@tonyg7260coke
I've seen all of his movies, but I never knew who was behind them until this week. I just watched the Vice episode they did with him and I just came back to say; This man's mind is as unique as his films. He is a true underground icon and art legend. If only Dave could try to understand, instead of being so passive aggressive, he probably would have had more respect for him and the show. Also, Meryl could have easily replaced whatever he was trying to take from her purse, and (I can't say this as a matter of fact but) after learning about him, I think he was going for a souvenir rather than something to pawn. I'd like to see him on Dave's new show. Either the air is cleared or we'd witness a fourth battle of wits. Win/win.
Going through the purse was wrong, regardless the motive. He had no right whatsoever.
yeah i don't like how condescending dave is a lot of the time, especially here.
For real- letterman is being rude and playing up the "you're a weirdo!" thing too much.
When asked about the choice of actors in Gummo, Korine says that it was essentially like casting snoop dog in a stage adaptation of James Joyce's Ulysses, which is witty and actually answers the question. It's the juxtaposition that he likes. Then Letterman is just like you're a weirdo, hey everyone look at this weirdo.
@@rumo1086 letterman doesnt like being upstaged. I sued to love him but re watching some of the interviews I think hes a sucky person. he really could've had fun with korine and played along, instead of sticking to the script about the movie, etc. they could've played off of each other. instead Dave was arrogant and tried humiliating him..
I’m not sure why more thieves don’t use the “I was looking for a souvenir” excuse?
Started geekin in 97😂
“I know, I’ve learned to swim” Dave: :/
I love how he tried to be more prepared on the second interview but like still going to unknown ground, lmao, so he tries to evaluate if his cognitive state is alright or if he is fooling him hahaha with like linear questions and answers. 7:23
“He also liked to gamble…and when he’d play golf he would…….uh gamble.” 😂😂
Does anyone happen to have the video of Chloe Sevigny on the letterman show in 1998? It was one of my favorite interviews with her and I can't find it.
i relate to him so much
real
