It’s interesting to compare this to the infamous letterman interview which took place at same time. His nervousness combines with his intelligent strain of social awkwardness and inevitably becomes the center point of the interview. When pressed gently by Johnny, Crispin actually describes the experience of being on as “confusing”. When confronted by his own awkwardness in the moment, he has trouble responding or moving on. Many say he is intentionally trolling David a la Kaufman but I doubt it.

I’ve seen him in very serious interviews discussing legalities about using his image in shooting Back to the future part II and he was very astute and serious. He’s a performer first and foremost and this is displayed in his act.

Johnny was an incredible interviewer!

johnny carson was far above and beyond the talents of Letterman. it's not even funny. Carson embraced his guests and was accually interested in talking to them no matter how eccentric they may be. this interview went by much more smooth and had much better content than lettermans interviews. letterman basically shuts down if he decides he doesn't like where an interview is going. as you can see carson is so much more personable and gets much more out of his guests. he also doesn't insult them behind there back like letterman who called Crispin glover a loser dork among other things. you can't replace a charismatic guy like carson. R.i.p. johnny carson

Yeah I'm sure Carson would have been just fine if Glover tried to kick him. He's barely coherent here and it deteriorated with each subsequent...I don't think you can call them interviews. Letterman had him on twice after the arm wrestling and kick fiasco. Letterman tried to get him to explain why he did those things. Both times he began with gibberish and quickly spiralled into childlike drivel.

Johnny Carson could have a natural genuine conversation with anyone, you don't see it much anymore on talk shows

I remember the first time Crispin Glover was on Johnny Carson. There was a priceless moment when they had to pause for a commercial. Carson introduced a new sponsor, read their slogan and then flubbed the last few words saying "You always get your monkey's worth er, money's worth." Realizing his mistake, Carson laughed at himself; that huge,contagious, booming laugh. God, I miss him.

Johnny Carson was such a great guy. He made Crispin so happy interviewing him. Two amazing men

I love how Crispin Glover is humble enough to be so star struck with Johnny. And love even more how "Johnny had no problem with his eccentricities". That's what was so charming about Johnny, he never left people to hang in their awkwardness. He'd help to relax them and put them at ease.

Johnny was the ultimate pro. Whether Crispin was ""trolling", or just nervous, on drugs, a combination of all, Johnny handled it perfectly and managed to do a ten minute segment with him. Letterman was lost before Crispin even sat down on his show.

Artist actors, can be so mental. This guy's manic presence,.. is nuts. But you hang on his every word. Mental brilliance.

Carson: "You oughta be here" - I love Crispin, but that just proves Johnny's brilliance with his interaction with guests and commentary

This was a couple months before his famous letterman appearance

Johnny Carson had a first-rate mind. He read everything and had catholic tastes; you can tell his appreciation for Crispin’s art is genuine. That’s why he could roll with Crispin and Letterman couldn’t. I mean, can you imagine Dave reading a book or going to an art exhibit? Me neither. But Johnny, definitely. He was super fucking cool

Johnny a class act.

They ought to be a documentary about Crispin. A fascinating man and a true acting great

Wonder if Crispin was an influence years later for the nervous Chris Farley SNL interview of Paul McCartney?

Joker bit off this heavily lol

Seems like he's STILL in Back to the future character!

I can't believe that this nervous "voice loosing" guy is the same person who plays Mr. Foster" in 'The Donner Party." I really like Crispin Glover

Crispin Glover is 100% Comedian and enjoy to fool people around. most of people don't realize that (Remember Joaquin Phoenix when created de "hip hop character" and most people believed he was real).

That dude is barking mad

Crispin Glover & Gore Vidal. Please tell me the rest of this show is online somewhere

If they ever remake “One Flew Over the Koo Koos Nest” he would make a great character!

Total act

I love how Mr. Carson is so respectful. He shows such composure and professionalism. Unlike Letterman's rude arse.

Im a headcase, too. But. Unfortunately I wasn't born in LA. If I were, maybe I could be a rich actor and appear on the Tonight Show!

Still don't know now?

Reminds me of how Lea Thompson was saying she went to his apartment and it was all black.

he is me when im just getting started on my 4th bourbon, talk to much and to quick, nothing wrong with that, give the guy a break..... oh this was 35 years ago..... yeah give the guy a break. ; )

He is definitely on something. I don't know what it is but it is affecting him

Johnny was a class act and very respectful, unlike Letterman, who was a condescending ass. Johnny knew how to control an interview.

he can't really be like that can he? i mean even with the letterman shows he did and the weird characters played on screen is it really possible? or is it just an act like the whole joaquin phoenix thing from a few years ago. i think glover is a genius in his own right. i guess i'm just repeating other people's thoughts here. anyway if you go to the 2nd letterman interview he did those art pieces he brought out were kinda cool.

I knew a peer who started out normal but would get attention and admiration through eccentric behaviour. He would then devolve to a point where that’s how he would add all the time and then, with the addition of gloves and bad influencers, he got stuck in that habit. I think he is now a homeless harri krishna (if I recall correctly). Humans are weird creatures.

He's Gorgeous. look at John Maus. Watch his interview. Great musician and reminds you of him.

мой папа криспин стал заикой из за меня. печалька

He looks just like his father from Diamonds are Forever only taller..

I'm his doppganger. So this is pretty much simply expected.

it isnt a 'performance', he's just nervous as shit

Like some people with a high IQ, Crispin has awkward social skills. Maybe thats why he became an actor.

He looks like the guy playing the Penguin in 'Gotham'. Robin Lord Taylor or something?

He reminds me of a stoner guy at work.

1987!? This looks like 1977.

Paul, is this the first time you've seen a guy drown?

To add to everyones comments about how shitty letterman is vs carson keep in mind letterman makes his show all about him even when hes interviewing someone. He has a way of making himself the center of attention. Carson makes it all about his guest.

He's skrillex

2:51

He should've worn the platforms.

Криспин Гловер ведет себя так будто хочет в туалет, по нужде. по какой? именно не знаю но могу узнать.

07:32 her name?

What an odd fellow.

he didn't try kicking Johnny. lay off Dave. Dave did NOTHING wrong to Glover.

maybe daves was a lark but i think this is just him thats interesting

Carson was much better interviewer than Dale Letterman.

Most TV shows only booked Crispin cause of his weirdness and literally mocked him.

It's obviously not his fault, but I can see why the rest of the cast weren't so upset about him not coming back. Granted, he wanted a lot more money, and he wasn't even one of the major leads. He was a supporting character. An important one, but he wasn't Marty. At the same time, the studio should have had a clue and written the character out of the sequel. Maybe throw some money at Crispin for using his likeness in the 1955 scenes. Done. And I know he was probably annoying on set, but come on. Granted, it was the 80s and psychiatry wasn't taken as seriously back then, nor did it understand these things as well as we do now. He was one of those actors who was really good for certain roles, but if you needed him to play anything other than a goofy, eccentric character, you probably needed to look elsewhere. While I hate that Hollywood did what they always do in a remake of a great film, in this case, Willard, Crispin Glover was probably the right casting chose if they were going to do it. He can play kind of an odd, abused person with eccentricities and PTSD very well.

Slipping Gloves.

looks like the joker.

He should be the next Joker in the Batman movies

Sound is poop

This guy gives me anxiety. I couldn’t spend a minute with him.

Why doesn't he join the other actors with the Back to the Fiture reunions?

He kinda is George Mcfly. Not much acting going on
