Glover's appearance on Late Night

Crispin Glover appeared on Late Night with David Letterman in 1987 to promote the film River's Edge. During the interview, Glover wore platform shoes and a wig, behaved erratically, and nearly kicked David Letterman in the face, causing Letterman to walk off the set.[3][4] After Rubin & Ed premiered four years later, some speculated that Glover appeared on the show in-character as Rubin Farr.[3][4][5][6]
