Even CBS Knows Joaquin Phoenix Was Whacked Out Of His Mind
You have to love when even the network knows something funny was going on with a guest. Last night on Letterman, CBS said, "Joaquin Phoenix was in the chair, but was he present for the interview?" I think Joaquin was present in an interview but it was going on somewhere in the deep recesses of his mind and he was doing it with a monkey named Eduardo who only spoke to him in Aramaic.
This interview, if not a put up job, will go down with the Farrah Fawcett interviews, as well as the Crispin Glover interview which is still tops in my book as the craziest on Letterman. It is 5 minutes you won't get back, but you really do need to watch the interview.
