Follow up to this post: In the video, Glover makes reference to a man named Mr. Far, followed by a shot of himself wearing the outfit he wore on a (sort of) famous episode of David Letterman. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jm2CbuTdTtE The episode aired on July 28, 1987, and the “Clowny Clown Clown” music video is from 1989, according to the video in the OP. Also, Mr. Farr’s full name is Rubin Farr, and Glover played him in the movie Rubin & Ed (1991), which I have not seen but I think I probably will now.
