    Yeah, that's the right reply. So easy too, and I missed it.
    I will delete my post now, and cry.
    That's the sensible thing to do.

    But he's under Diddy's tutelage!
    Quote Quoting Donald Glover
    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    I'm still going with Kaufman-esque joke. Maybe even Spinal Tap-ish joke, what now with this "documentary."

    I... I have to hold out hope.

    I'm not sure that Joaquin Phoenix as a poor man's Ali G is much more appealing than Joaquin Phoenix as a poor man's Vanilla Ice. Remarkable if he pulls it off though.

    Phoenix doesn't seem like the type who's familiar with the concept of comedy.

    Sounds like he's just desperately trying to keep the project under wraps.

    "There's not a hoax," Phoenix said. "Might I be ridiculous? Might my career in music be laughable? Yeah, that's possible, but that's certainly not my intention."
    I mean come on.

    If Letterman and Pheonix surreptitiously collaborated on that little segment, then hats off to Letterman for really selling his restrained indignation with the whole "I'll come to your house and chew gum" exchange. I was considering the possibility that this was just all part of Pheonix's elaborate pseudo-melt down but that particular exchange was convincingly uncomfortable.

    I thought the whole thing was staged.

    Yeah, this very well might be the case. If so, at least Letterman put some effort into lending the thing some credence.

    I thought Letterman kind of broke the hoax a bit. A talk show host wouldn't really make fun of a guest the way he did if they didn't know beforehand that the guy's not being serious.

    Yeah, maybe. Yet somehow I didn't see the attitude as being particularly out of the ordinary for someone like Letterman.

    Letterman has made fun of his guests numerous times. Or are we saying Crispin Glover's appearance was a staged act as well? Not to forget Letterman's bout with Harvey Pekar.

    Or any of the trainwrecks that are Richard Simmons interviews.

    Or any time Letterman gets the sense that his guest is boring and begins to lob veiled insults and generally be condescending.

    It's kind of become Letterman's thing.

    He was def. going overboard a bit... but the audience was eating it up. And the gum comment solidified it.

    Yeah, that was Letterman being Letterman with an uncooperative guest. I didn't find anything suspicious. I still think it's a ruse by Phoenix, but I don't think Letterman was in on the gag.
