Viewers will recall his performance: he began with what could charitably be called sleepy detachment, but as the show rolled on he looked like he could barely keep his eyes open. More than once, as he gazed blankly at the camera, poor co-host Anne Hathaway jumped in to say his lines, growing ever more frantic in the process. Franco would just smile, either bemused or bored.
