Anybody catch "Wakeen" Phoenix on Dave this evening? Dude was high or some shit. He had a scruffy beard,hair and mumbled with what seemed to be a British accent! Picture late sixties Beattles. I dont know if he was going with the weird actor vibe...perhaps the "Im too cool to promote my movie" thing...Dave annililated him...thanking him for not being here, and at one point saying he wanted to appologize to Farrah Fawcet. I thought maybe Wakeem might go Crispen Glover on Dave. Dave couldnt get him to do anything but mumble.

Old school Dave not kissing his guests ass...NICE!!!

And then...Dave goes at the SI swimsuit cover chick, (nice boobs btw, but wheres the pubes?), about how she met Leo Decaprio...she has none of it and evades in a fun way.

Is this going to be a daily summary?

I can't really stay up that late, and I do like Dave sometimes, so I'd be down with that.
Who's on the schedule tonight?

Who Phoenix ?

It's show business. What isn't a set-up ?

Dave might not have been hip to his agenda, but he had an agenda I'm sure.

Definitely a set up. Gotta be. That guy has done a bazillion talk show interviews. He knows better than to mumble one word answers, followed by obviously uncomfortable silences.

That is, unless he's simply lost his mind. Considering his choice of "music" and his recent career path change, well, maybe...hopefully.

"...But now Phoenix has a new image. He sports a scruffy beard, wears dark glasses and says hip-hop was always a passion.

"Hip-hop is something I have loved since I was a kid," he said. "It's just the right medium to express myself in now."

His decision was disclosed only a few months ago and took Hollywood by surprise. The shock of it, coupled with his falling off stage while performing at a Las Vegas nightclub, has many industry watchers thinking this new act is a spoof cooked up with his brother-in-law Casey Affleck, who is chronicling Phoenix's crossover in a documentary..."

Definitely looked staged. Look at the way he hops up after it's over, shakes Letterman's hand, and I believe says "good job."

Can we expect him to return and apologize to viewers along with a gospel singer and testimony as to how he's come to know Jesus ?
