Oliver Reed interview w David Letterman c.1987

submitted by moodonia

1 decade 6 years 1 month ago

Youtube: I swear this IS the weirdest TV interview ever. Yeah I know the Crispin Glover was all that but this is much denser!

The Late Oliver Reed appears with Dave of Late Night to talk about-- but never gets around to it really-- his newest project. When he made the flattened nose gesture and took off his glasses I thought for sure this was going to be a brawl. Watch Paul run for cover!

Holy cow this Ollie is my new personal hero and role model. Dig this...

*wtf

Adding video to channels (Wtf) - requested by schmawy.

Hey! Back when Dave was funny! I loved his show in the mid-eighties: prancing fluids, "they pelted us with rocks and garbage," the Fugitive Guy, Peace Through Dramatization Players, etc. Not to be a name-dropper but years later, I got to know Bill Luhrs, who appeared several times as bit player on the show.

Funny funny stuff.

Moving this video to moodonia's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

LMAO at Daves "so you quite drinking to avoid damaging your nervous system?"

*quality

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by EndAll.

It's a real shame, oliver was a fucking genius at his art. He made a huge fool of himself so many times, but i'll miss him on screen.

Anyone like me who missed most of his career should check out some of his acclaimed films. Genius. Take gladiator for a kick off.

Wow, Dave looked like he truly thought he was in physical danger towards the end there. Great sift.
