Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. A pair was auctioned off in L.A. Thursday night for $37,500. "This brings together three populations of major Joneses," Fox told Letterman, "the sneakerheads, the Back to the Future people, who, believe me, are out of their minds... in a good way! Thank God for them. And the people in the Parkinson's community who have an interest in research."

When Letterman quipped that Sheen was "all out there winning," Fox agreed: "That's a straightforward argument to me. He's winning, and that's fine, and I have no judgment about that... I wish Charlie all the best, and I wish Ashton all the best. He then joked: "Show business. We're all here because we're not all there." David Letterman Michael J. Fox
