Suprise!  He's an actor who was on the show as a character to get some 
publicity for himself.  That's why people go on Dave's show.

Yes, Dave took some really hard shots at Crispin.  Crispin laughed about it
with him.  Dave seemed impressed that he was able to come on the show and
take the verbal harrassment without getting upset.  Look how well Cher or
Shirley McLean have done.

All in all, Crispin Glover is a talented actor who likes to do some strange
things.  I really just don't understand why everyone wants to pick on such
an obvious target.

I think one of them was:

To which Dave (of course) says:  "no, that's Dave's carpet samples!"

If i remember correctly, the week after that appearance he came
back on the show and explained that it was all an act (well he
didnt say it so clearly but he said he wanted to do something
special...). Since then i think he came back twice or just
once in the last year... he doesnt seem to be on drugs, just
eccentric (i'm sure we all can remember some eccenticities about
other actors or public figures... seems to be going out of style
though... can you say brother Theodore? i thougth you could...).

The only thing I can think of is that the Catholic church really does
think that the Pope is the holiest person in the church.  So this
might have been seen as more political/religious commentary than
a joke...hence the misguided censoring.

Either way, I agree it was a silly bit of editing to do...and find

I just read the FAQ and was wondering "didn't Chris Elliot also play
Flunky the Clown"?  Flunky was a slouching, grouchy, cigar-smoking
clown who Dave occasionally interview.  And Flunky was always in
a bad mood, and always answered with very brief, snide, cynical, and
jaded answers.

Anybody remember any specifics from Flunky's appearances?

If my recollection is accurate, then Flunky needs to be included in
the FAQ.

   If I recall correctly, he also went ga-ga over the lead singer of

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help refresh my memory on some
LNWDL episodes...

One of my favorite Dave gimmicks was the Christmas special where 
he'd bring out his incredibly Norman Rockwell wife and kids. 
There was at least one year Dave held some sort of tree contest. All 
I remember was that Kyle, the littlest Letterman had to go 
out into NYC with saw in hand to hack down the tallest X-mas tree he could
find and drag it back to the studio. 

I think if he lost the contest, he was supposed to get coal 
instead of toys. The last thing I remember about that magical Yuletide 
special was Kyle being chased by a gang of kids down a dim steet. 

So after that long ramble my question is this...
 	
	Does anyone know how the remainder of that special went? Also 
	were there similar X-mas specials afterwards?

Your wisdom is much appreciated...

I could see Elton John punch out Micheal Bolton. That would put a stop
to that behavior.

    7. When they all talk about trickle down theories, made 
       Dan Quayle asked to be excused for just a minute.
    6. Gennifer Flowers also guilty of "pulling a Clinton".
    5. The way Gore's family kept yelling "Good answer!! Good answer!!".
    4. All three candidates agree Madonna is a slut.
    3. When an angry Buddy Ebsen stood up in audience and demanded his
       hair back from Stockdale.
