Film actor and alleged hip hop star, Joaquin Phoenix may not be nominated for an Oscar this awards season but he has won a television award for worst talk show guest ever. Phoenix received the 'Worsty' nomination shortly after his excruciatingly painful-to-watch interview on The Late Show with David Letterman Wednesday night. Phoenix received word that he had won the award ten minutes later. "Phoenix appeared on The Late Show dressed as Nick Nolte from 'Down And Out In Beverly Hills'" Says fellow 'Worsty' award nominee Crispin Glover. "I was a shoe in for that award.....but Joaquin brought a whole new kind of crazy to the talk show scene, man." Late Show host David Letterman says that the Phoenix interview was more painful "than pulling teeth from a coked up monkey". The last 'Worsty' award was handed out in 1957 to Milton Berle for his nude, black face appearance on the Art Linklater show.
The best story I have ever read.
