Often, particularly colorful characters take to the various late shows to flex the full range of their unique spirit, just for funsies.

Host David Letterman looked nervous, but Phoenix looked relaxed, and that might be why Phoenix's good-time appearance took a serious turn when the 'Inherent Vice' star announced his engagement on air.
