Letterman and Phoenix: How Does It Compare To Letterman And Fawcett?

Toward the end of David Letterman's whatever-the-hell-that was with Joaquin Phoenix, Dave made reference to Farrah Fawcett. That's because in 1997, Letterman presided over an equally kooky (but much more animated and less hirsute) interview with Farrah. Choosing which is crazier is kind of like choosing between gold and platinum. Part one of the Letterman/ Fawcett fiasco is above, and here's part two...

What do you think? Pretty tough call, right? And even more difficult when you factor in Letterman and Crispin Glover, from the Late Night days:

If we had to, we'd go with Glover at #1, because of the apparent mania. Then Phoenix, then Fawcett. Again, they're all great. Meanwhile, Dave is already making reference to Joaquin being on, you know, something:

Letterman on Thursday said that since so many of today's stars appear screwed up on one substance or another, "we've put together the `Late Show' celebrity drug update."

Video of Olympics swimmer Michael Phelps appeared with the caption, "Michael Phelps: Weed." Baseball star Alex Rodriguez followed, captioned "Alex Rodriguez: 'Roids."

Then came a picture of Phoenix from the night before, wearing sunglasses and a long, black beard and the caption: "Joaquin Phoenix: ???????"
