- Most of these clips have been previously uploaded by others. Someone requested I put something together from my own collection, as it's more complete and of better video quality.
All but the last date is in chronological order.
1. August 10, 1995. Harmony Korine. Plugs film "Kids."
2. October 17, 1997. Harmony Korine. "Gummo."
3. April 20, 1998. Harmony Korine. Book A Crack-up at the Race Riots
4. March 18, 2013. Selena Gomez. "Spring Breakers." A brief discussion on Korine.
5. March 25, 2013. James Franco. "Spring Breakers." An explanation for Korine's bump from the show on October 29, 1999.
6. October 29, 1999. Harmony Korine bumped.
Harmony: “I’m a commercial filmmaker, I’m a patriot, I hide in trees, alright.”
Dave: “There ya go. We’ll be right back with Smashmouth.”
What a perfect way to end an interview segment
I think he's brilliant and misunderstood...his book is about a race riot between black and white and the Jews hiding in trees watching. Very smart...think about it...and his quote you posted is weird out of context but think about it
@@williammurphy2486 oh I totally agree and think he’s a genius/very intelligent; I thought his humor here was amazing and was piercingly subversive, and the fact that Dave delivered the alright here’s smashmouth line after was a perfect punctuation
Talking about avant-garde
Earlier in the interview, he mentioned another group of people who hide in trees. Did anyone else catch that?
RIP
I love that they brought him on so many times and got almost nothing out of him.
“Um, I wanted to write the great American novel, and, or, just a, or a novel, I just, well I just wanted it to be American.”
That always gets me 😂
homie was off the shits
@Brandon S It's just disjointed nonsense. Allen's jokes have points.
It's like his thoughts were crumbling as he was talking
@@blankpool he knew what he was doing. I’m willing to bet he is smarter then 98% of the people commenting on here. Everything he says here is made up and he is snubbing his nose to the establishment. He knew exactly what he was doing. Most geniuses are eccentric and that’s exactly what he is
Why do i keep coming back to this...
I continue to search for context and meaning with this compilation. It’s oddly fascinating and wickedly funny
This is my 3rd go
Because Letterman did!
Dave should at least get credit for having the best guests return often. Harmony was a better smart ass than Dave and they both knew it.
This is my 4th or 5th.
it’s my 3rd time
"Each film should have a beginning, middle and end, but not necessarily in that order."

We'll be right back with Smash Mouth
What a show! Trolling master and meme song
moving shadow records you already know.
@@Gawdzillest what a way to describe it
the caddyshack joke was gold and everyone missed it.
Maybe because it wasn’t that great.
It was shit
Or it wasn’t a joke
Explain?
I would love to see Harmony on The Eric Andre Show.
too old now
@@boidinktwistie4389 no eric had on an 80 year old former game show host and it was funny, harmony is two times younger than that. he'll do fine
thatd be sick as fuck
@♢Oui ? I think they mean his personality has changed.
Hot Ones
"he reminded me of buster keaton and he was a paint sniffing survivor."
He's lasted longer than the towers on the end titles.
Bacon is my aesthetic
world’s first redditor
This is a masterpiece of miscommunication, letterman thinks that korine is joking when he isn't, and then is offended when he tries to play with him. Korine is trying to fit what he's thinking into short soundbites he thinks they want but it just descends into adversarial mood... Being high as hell maybe contributed though!
They got each other well
@@eleanorestes2473 exactly. OP's comment needs to be a masterclass on not understanding humor. Korine isn't dumb. He plays dumb but it's done for a laugh. Theo Von and Norm Macdonald do the same, although all 3 of them are incredibly unique in their own way.
@@jordanmorris5827 With Norm though, you always KNOW Norm is playing with you. It never seems like he just might be goofy because he always comes off as being a step ahead of who he's talking to because he is. However with Theo Von you don't know if he's doing it on purpose until you watch him long enough.
Theo Von plays the fool so well it's unreal. It's all improvisation, and that's what they all 3 do well. They're making it weird and funny in the moment.
Harmony doesn't play the fool, but somehwere between Norm and Theo in delivery.
I...I don't think you get it.
It's evolved into that now, but he wasn't playing dumb. He was anxious as hell as he was still a kid on one of the most watched live shows in television. He was an artist, not an actor. He had stage freight and was nervous like most people would be. Not sure why you think it was all fake and masterclass acting.
Letterman can’t believe that Harmony Korine rides unicycles but it’s the most believable thing I’ve ever heard
Harmony Korine: I-i like, hm, i like Eddie Cantor... I-I like Al Johnson... i want to do a minstrel with, um Tom Cruise, i want him to play it on his knees
Random guy in the audience: YES!!!
He basically said he almost killed a kid and the crowd went wild lol
Because they could see clear as day that he was just taking the piss out of the whole show.
... And then Dave follows it up with " ...blah blah controversial film..." hahaha... like, isn't isn't it may be controversial to applaud a kid talking about intentionally flipping about and somebody almost drowning?? This is just the lowest depths of that "PoMo Irony" of the nineties flailing in it's death throes... or the pinnacle. Guess it depends on your perspective....
Because, it's funny!
@@iuseitToohorrible take. I bet you're fun at parties.
He literally doesn’t have to say anything.
The entirety of his mannerisms is just enough to be hilarious! 😂😂😂
It must be frustrating to be laughed at even when you're not trying to be funny at all.
The audience was irritating for that.
Exactly 100%
This is what it feels like having aspergers around people who dont
I love that he drinks his coffee without him paying attention
Gummo and the later Mister Lonely are two of the most interesting, beautiful and sensitive films I have ever seen. This 'kid' was a truly brilliant artist at this age.
Harmony's funny af without even trying LmAo
I think Dave's funnier.
@@comfykeegs Andy?
Pretty sure he’s purposely exaggerating his own personality for comedy.
He might be trying.
He’s trying very very hard...he’s just so odd! Haha
Harmony is such a unique human being, I’ve never heard anyone else talk or act the way he does, each line he says could be a comedic quote out of context but even in context it’s still insane
He isn’t insane or crazy. He is a genius and most geniuses are a little eccentric
@@christianburk2432 Oh?
@@christianburk2432 As someone that has a son with autism that is obsessed with actors and scenes in films, this is what it reminds me of. Even the behavior feels very similar
@@vixxie9390 I see that. He admits to doing drugs but perhaps he has Tourette’s? He looks like he has ticks that overtime he has learned to suppress them, or be more comfortable on a talk show?
@@ExileZO Entirely possible. I am in no way qualified to diagnose someone. I was just mentioning similarities in behavior
The crazy thing is he’s telling the truth 90% of the time, but as it sounds so outlandish everyone things he’s making everything up
This guy won me over at "bacon is my aesthetic"
its true too
good job putting this together, when i first watched harmony on dave i thought korine was being evasive and abstract for effect, just like his unconventional art, but after watching his work and reading his bio i realized he wasn't doing that at all, everything he was talking about was in earnest, and wasn't meant to be funny or off putting, what you see with harmony is the way he see's the world, very fragmented, arbitrary, and profound.
he's brilliant, and at a very early age while most of us watch a movie to follow the story, he was dissecting how it was made.
It’s called post modern like drivel. Nonsense
Drugs. He did a lot of drugs before going out there.
@@prankgirl9112 no its called aspergers, or being on the autism spectrum
@@DurtDangle
He has talked about doing a crazy amount of drugs right before going into the interview with Letterman. Many times. He was crazy high, taking both uppers and downers at once. He's lucky to be alive.
I disagree he did throw a couple jokes out there but other than that yes dudes a champion
I think they are respectively having fun with each other. They're both getting good entertainment mileage out of each other.
Agreed. Every comment on here are overly sensitive
The genuine laugh after "80 mil" is gold
I think it was more of a mocking laugh
I read this comment before I got to that bit. Made it even more sweeter. 😂
@@connoroleary6542 Nah that was a real laugh from Dave. Harmony caught him off guard by deadpanning something really funny and both the fact that it was funny and Dave not expecting something like that from him just broke his brain and put him into hysterics. You rarely see Dave genuinely have a belly laugh like that but a few people have done it to him, and it's almost always when he's caught off-guard.
"he was a paint sniffing survivor" hahahaha
Nicholas Mackey and it wasn’t a lie either! The lead actor for Gummo - with the funny looking face - was actually a paint sniffing survivor in a documentary hahaha
@@angusraze9638 hey mate, do you know where can i get this documentary?
Guilherme Faria I’ll have to look. It was a genuine documentary and it’s available to see on the tv listings at the time but I don’t know if there is an archived recording. It’s pretty late in the U.K. right now (where I am haha) but I’ll defo look tomorrow
Guilherme Faria it’s not a documentary. it’s the sally jessy raphael show
He's overcome with emulsion
Harmony is more in on it than people realise. Played the audience well.
Yeah, right. A proper genius.
joaquin pheonix before joaquin pheonix?
he was high out of his mind mate
@@oui2611 Joaquin Phoenix is a generational talent. This guy is a avant-garde hack.
I thought Dave hated him after his last interview
I love harmony’s voice idk why
There's a certain innocence to it
Sounds like the pimply faced teenager from The Simpsons who works at Krusty Burger.
The second time you watch this your realize Harmony is referencing the conversation. It's not total random non sequiturs.
How he says "not very good" literally became an inside joke between me and my friends in highschool
When does he say that?
@@conormartin3476when Dave asks him about winning fights
"Bacon is my aesthetic, essentially." - Harmony Korine
A THIRTEEN minute interview without a break with someone like Harmony is kind of amazing, Particularly when contrasted with the social media attention span
these two are so polar, simultaneously so good
There’s a great Vice video on him in 2022, amazingly he is still off the wall. Love his originality.
Dave getting the whole shtick at 2:10 when Harmony drops the "sequel to caddyshack" line. His face immediately changes from interested and confused to smug.
“I wrote a joke too!! ... I read it in a book”
I love when Letterman asked how much Gummo cost him to make
Don, you’ve done it again! Being wanting to watch these complete and good quality for ages! All the best from England man
Recently bought A Crack Up At The Race Riots and it’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever read
Dude I have been waiting for this one for YEARS. Thank you!
Harmony is a big inspiration.
I want a stencil illustration of him errantly knocking Meryl Streep over. On a t shirt!
He was just high as a kite. If that's inspirational to you then go and roll yourself one!
Man this kid has some serious anxiety. I feel his pain.
yeah people just think "druggie" but those are close minded people that don't realize that people use drugs because of all sorts of pain / trauma ect
He’s also trolling. It’s an act. The original troll.
Adam Norvell nah man he’s awkward
@@rm3869 he might be awkward but he is 100% trolling. He knew what he was doing. He was a child prodigy and most geniuses are a little eccentric. He was banned from his fourth appearance on letterman because letterman caught him going through Meryl Streep’s purse in her dressing room.
@@christianburk2432 I'd probably go threw her purse as well, look at him he can use a few dollar's.haa
I watch this once a year. I’ve seen it three times
Have watched it every few months for many years to keep me grounded.
That first intro song at 0:30 is 'Harmony' by Elton John, just saying.
@SixteenTonesStudio
Since you're mentioning it, an even more 'inside band joke' is the 3rd intro at 19:44, "Corinna" by Taj Mahal.
@@papagreenemusic nice catch, I wasn't familiar with that tune
@@SixteenTonesStudio I doubt that Korine recognized it either...
He was too busy tripping over the stage.... Wasted!
I'm wondering how many other intros tailored to guests I missed over the years...
I can count on one hand the most hilarious interviews on Letterman - this easily one of them THANK YOU THANK YOU for loading up this unedited clip - makes laugh harder and louder every time
Imagine if you had six fingers on one hand...then you could have “the six” most hilarious interviews.
@@mobiditch6848 😂
“I’d use a row boat” harmony giving the life of pi guy his inspiration
He is one of the best artists who ever lived. One of my main inspirations
Right
Interesting
Relax lol… he’s a talented artist but this is a part of the character he played. He’s an industry created artist.
@@lupefiasco9476 industry created artist? how? he's not a plant if that's what you're saying. just because he's in hollywood or the US, doesn't mean he's 'industry created'.
@@lupefiasco9476wtf is an industry created artist? He was picked up off the side of the road by some obscure photographer and asked to write a movie script
Harmony is the kind of guy who sits on the tv and watches the couch.
This is the most amazing video thank you
“He was a paint sniffing survivor” 😆
He said *”y o u r e a s i n n n e r”*
Like that, so I just wrote it
"" so i just wrote it"" sums up Korine and his work pretty well
Kids was a great film. It really captured the grittiness of a huge counter culture of New York in the early 90's.
Too bad it didn't realize that and instead tried to speak for teens in general and made them all out to be monsters
@@doctorfeinstone6524 I suppose it's open to interpretation.
I think about that move every single time I walk by the Tompkins skate park
I promise you those Kids are still there
This is great, and very smart to put the bump at the end so we see it in context. Catnip for weirdo late night chat show obsessives like this cheetah.
This is amazing.
I love how he tried to be more prepared on the second interview but like still going to unknown ground, lmao, so he tries to evaluate if his cognitive state is alright or if he is fooling him hahaha with like linear questions and answers. 7:23
My favorite storyteller, thank you for existing
Would love to see a conversation between these two in 2023
“Bacon is my aesthetic” Harmony Korine
Another gem upload, thanks
I want to go back to those 90s.
Thank you Don!
"you think this is easy dont you"
"Yeah"
Something poetic about "I'm a patriot I hide in trees." followed by "We'll be right back with Smashmouth."
I really wish that Dave would interview him again on his new show
He banned Korine from The Late Show after he caught the dude stealing money out of Meryl Streep's purse.
@@dildonius yes we watched the video too
@@secondtrruy2484 OK? And? I'm addressing what this comment wrote.
@@dildonius i know, it's hilarious
Dave has a new show?!?
i love his sense in style while others make laughs of it i never truly understood it because that's just the way i have always thought,
seemingly to have a different thinking or thought process than those around me growing up but that's exactly what it feels like being a neurodivergent in a neurotypical world and it was always hard for me feeling like a misconception to those around me but when i discovered harmony i felt a sense of resonation and belonging and knew right then and there that he was my favorite artist. he is one of my main inspirations that have helped me pursue myself in life. i realized that i can't make people like me and that all i can do is show them who i am, how i feel, and what i believe and that it is up to them to understand my worth.
watched these when they came out. Harmony seems more sane and hilarious every year
Such a legend
was just watching a 20 year old macaulay culkin on a late night appearance and just spent the last 20 minutes trying to remember Harmony's name and find these old interviews. they're gems. loved this guys style
Thanks for putting this together!
1:52 The way he says “yeah” kills me every time I hear it 😂😂😂
Didn’t catch my attention the first time but it made me laugh after seeing your comment lol thank you
Love Harmony, but hes definitely off the whoop in some of these interviews. Glad he got past his drug problems
He was acting like this because of drugs, this is who he really is.
What's whoop?
@@tonyg7260coke
great rendition of TOP's You're still a Young Man
This is truly amazing on both sides, I miss constructive thought
he's like a real pee wee herman..maybe he's his cousin..or somethin..
This is probably my 8th time watching this hilarious video
Holly shit the Quality are spectacular
“He also liked to gamble…and when he’d play golf he would…….uh gamble.” 😂😂
Bro 😂 that “Thanks” responding to Dave’s “interesting piece of work, Gummo” is hilarious
This is my favorite video on TH-cam.
"Bacon is my aesthetic.." Harmony makes me laugh so freaking hard. He is so whacky, and I LOVE that about him
Even funnier because he's Jewish.
20th century painter Francis Bacon?
He's talking about Francis Bacon.
1998, I'm guessing that's when the drugs kicked in.
Yup
BACON IS MY AESTHETIC
He was 22 in the first clip, yet looked and acted like he was in his early teens. The irony is that he is in his 40's now and looks like he's in his 60's.
I think he was actually only 19 in the first clip but still
Hollywood gonna get ya cha!!!
@@gettintired6744 He was born in '73 so in '95 he was 22
cocaines a helluva drug
25:21 the way he points back at letterman with zero hesitation without even looking at him
This is where he references Weekend at Bernie's. I love that movie
Letterman asked him if he was alright in the third clip and he was balls strung out.
Totally fascinating
I've seen all of his movies, but I never knew who was behind them until this week. I just watched the Vice episode they did with him and I just came back to say; This man's mind is as unique as his films. He is a true underground icon and art legend. If only Dave could try to understand, instead of being so passive aggressive, he probably would have had more respect for him and the show. Also, Meryl could have easily replaced whatever he was trying to take from her purse, and (I can't say this as a matter of fact but) after learning about him, I think he was going for a souvenir rather than something to pawn. I'd like to see him on Dave's new show. Either the air is cleared or we'd witness a fourth battle of wits. Win/win.
Going through the purse was wrong, regardless the motive. He had no right whatsoever.
yeah i don't like how condescending dave is a lot of the time, especially here.
For real- letterman is being rude and playing up the "you're a weirdo!" thing too much.
When asked about the choice of actors in Gummo, Korine says that it was essentially like casting snoop dog in a stage adaptation of James Joyce's Ulysses, which is witty and actually answers the question. It's the juxtaposition that he likes. Then Letterman is just like you're a weirdo, hey everyone look at this weirdo.
@@rumo1086 letterman doesnt like being upstaged. I sued to love him but re watching some of the interviews I think hes a sucky person. he really could've had fun with korine and played along, instead of sticking to the script about the movie, etc. they could've played off of each other. instead Dave was arrogant and tried humiliating him..
I’m not sure why more thieves don’t use the “I was looking for a souvenir” excuse?
i relate to him so much
real
He was ahead of his time with "random" comedy, which of cours was huge in the early 2000's. Unfortunately, as a comedy fad, it hasn't died out yet...
This is Pure Pure freaking Gold!
I can’t believe Gummo got him a Letterman appearance lol
He just fascinates me. What an interesting guy
Fascinated by someone who clearly has sobriety issues? He clearly needed help there and surely wasn't an idol, especially not for kids! 🤦 how people celebrate him being high on a talkshow fascinates ME!
@@nk6122 i’m i love him i am a just a teenage girl i am love him he i
@@nk6122go away nerd.
“I know, I’ve learned to swim” Dave: :/
kid grew up in a commune in Bolinas, CA. nuff said. much lov HK
jesus i love him
Getting high for letterman was a thing in the 90s
I wish it still was. Made for great television.
He was a dick, you'd almost have to be
He looks anxious and the more Dave makes jokes about him makes him more anxious. Or is that just me ?
After reading a majority of his interviews and rare magazine articles, harmony korine was diagnoses with ADHD as a child which explains some of his behaviour.
he's high, that's it...
No he was anxious. Every interview except the banned one perhaps
@@bbm1077 very anxious
Awesome.
Started geekin in 97😂
There are so many young guys like him in this modern world right now and i totally understand his sense of humour with hints of intelligence 🥰
Perhaps the era could not catch up with his true talent 🍀
Well unfortunately the majority of young people these days don’t have the ambition, patience , etc to write a novel or direct a movie . So while their mannerisms might be similar they are without the talent that harmony posseses. I blame social media and generations of parents raising their children like they’re the most important person who ever existed . The future isn’t looking too bright
@@ktothec24 classic boomer cynicism. "those dang ol kids and their social media" the cycle keeps happening where the old shit on the kids. you can literally blame something on a whole generation since the beginning of humanity. psychedelics in the 60s violent movies in the 70s, hard drugs in the 80s and 90s, porn, video games in the 2000s now its social media. the future is never looking too bright when youre always looking for something to use to dismiss an entire generation time and time and time again.
♢Oui ?
None of that compares to the narcissism of having social media.
Everyone does it so it’s normal to take photos of yourself and tell everyone you’ve ever know what you’re doing constantly.
@@ktothec24 you don’t know what your talking about. Speak for yourself fr
are there tho? havent seen at least in movies or youtube
