For a little laugh, Top 10 disasterous Letterman Interviews
Time

When Oscar-nominated actor-turned-rapper-turned-hobo Joaquin Phoenix stopped by CBS's Late Show with David Letterman on Feb. 11, America got a firsthand glimpse of the la-la land where Phoenix evidently now resides. Where to begin — his lumberjack beard? His unwashed mane? The creepy, unnecessary shades? Or the catatonic, mumbling responses to admittedly ridiculous questions like, "How's that beard working out for ya?"

6. After the Phoenix interview...
Letterman offered his apologies to her, LOL! However, I was disturbed by the interview. He seemed to be on heroin or something really nasty.

3. Crispin Glover's "interview" was the best!

4. Joaquin is also filming a 'mockumentary' about the odd fall of an actor
methinks he was filming a bit for that piece w/casey affleck.

I'd put money on it.

5. I agree
I watched about thirty seconds of his bad act, and turned it off.

There's something repugnant about that guy.................

7. I hope so...
If he wasn't on massive drugs, then he's a damn good actor! One of the best!

8. I dunno, they missed Cher's first appearance
Letterman: "Why haven't you been on the show before?"

Cher: "I dunno, Dave, I guess I always thought you were an asshole."

It was live, no delay and no bleep.

10. That's like a clinic for uncomfortable TV

12. I recall an awkward Bush Jr. interview when asswipe was running against Gore.
Letterman asked him something about his "uniter not divider" mantra and Bush,always the comedian,responded to the effect that the uniter could be thought of as closing up a surgically opened chest that was "divided."

Letterman had recently had open heart surgery and this obvious reference to his ordeal put a real"Ewww" look on his face. This was probably also the the visit where Bush used a female staffer's skirt to clean his glasses.

And it was painfully obvious that to the future moron in chief he had truly made a witty joke.

13. If animals had been included, this one with the monkeys would have been high on the list...

The female monkey couldn't stand Letterman!

14. Jeez, what an asshole. Phoenix was fine. Maybe Dave should have actually asked him a QUESTION
rather than just being a dick nonstop from the start of the interview. Of course then he wouldn't have gotten the weird "awkward" interview he was going for.

15. Time ripping off Cracked.com now

"I used to think it was his becoming old, crotchety and possibly senile that gave rise to this bizarre streak of gut-busting faux pax, but the videos gathered below prove without a doubt that Letterman’s been a dismissive prick since the very beginning. Well played, sir."
