I thought it was really funny stuff. I'm thinking gotcha all the way. He would act like he couldn't remember who was in the film with him one minute and then in the clip comment he comes up with one actress's name instantly. He would clue in just in time to keep up the charade and not overplay the "I'm out to lunch persona".
Looked like a nice set-piece to stick in the movie. Letterman baits him time after time and he just rolls right along. That's hardly a meltdown. Either a drug induced semi-comatose performance or just some more brillant acting and I think the latter more likely.
