I recorded this show an played for many people over the course of a year
until Glover came back to DL and did a show tring to get is reputation 
back.  I will try to recall what we all decided happened.

First Glover was on Carson (as everyone has been writing) twice before
being on Dave.  The first time he wore a Tucks, but it was very obvious that
he was on the edge of loosing control, but Carson must have been worned or
could tell and kept everything smooth.  The second time Glover was on
Carson he dressed up but not as much as before.  The interview with Carson
went the same way so I believe that the Letterman crew decided that they
should try getting him.

I guess the Letterman team told Glover to ware whatever he found comfortable
and found out that he collected things.  Well Glover came out in his
bell bottom grubbies and a couple of boxes of collectables.  The audience
could not stop laughing at Glover's actions and he was quite thrown off and
couldn't carry on a conversation with Dave.  Only about one minute into the
interview and Glover lost it.  He realized that people were laughing at him
and he tried (I guess) to show how strong he was by flexing his arm muscles.
Then he said, "And I can kick." while aiming one at Dave.  Dave had trouble
with the top ten list not being ready all night so he walked off saying that
he was going to check on that top ten list.  As Dave left, Glover looked 
down as if he really screwed things up.  Dave ignored the incident all night.

In the meanwhile I discovered that Glover was a regular on Family Ties as
one of Alex's friends.  He seemed in control here but, his character never
said much.

Several month's after fake kicking dave.  Glover was on Letterman again.  He
and Dave "played" it as if the previous time was all a joke.  Glover
wore normal clothes, but still was on the edge of losing it.  Previously on the 
Carson show, Glover seems happy talking about his pad overlooking
some major shopping area (sounded like an apartment above a store on
some small main street).  Dave asked Glover about his pad on the this second
show, but Glover did not want to talk about it.  Dave kept pressing, but
It just got worse.  Appearently Glover lost the apartment soon after
"kicking" Dave.  The interview I believe was only one segment.

This was the last appearence I have seen of Glover.  Of course he 
was not in Back-to-the-Future 2 and 3.  I believe he has been marked or
really lost it now.

Two other things which are interresting.  Glover told Carson on the
first show that he went an all boy's high school (I beleive he lived
there during schooling) and that of his graduating class, "he was the
only one who didn't go on to do something significant."  To this
day I think this was a strange thing to say.
