Love him or hate him, Dave Letterman has done some good interviews over the years . . . such as this 1987 gem where Crispin Glover (aka George McFly in Back to the Future) nearly karate kicks him in the head.
Well, last night’s sit down with Joaquin Phoenix was one for the books too. You won’t recognize him from the clip, but he is the Oscar-nominated actor from a couple of my favorite movies: Gladiator and Signs.
Dave doesn’t have a lot of patience for guests who come on the show blitzed, so it doesn’t take him long before he lets out the zingers, such as my personal favorite:
“So, what can you tell us about your days with the Unabomber?” HA!
The full interview seems to have been taken down from youtube, but here’s a highlights version:
And here’s a write up too.
To wrap it all up, Dave sent Joaquin packing by saying: “Joaquin, I’m sorry you couldn’t be here tonight.”
Classic.
