famous people are allowed to be assholes.  the pedestals we put them on gives them that that right.  read the fine print before you define a town full of idols.

Oh and I forgot one of my favs!



John Stewart on Crossfire (seemed to eventually lead to its cancellation).


He almost made Tucker Carlson cry. ;D

What's the band name?  The Rude Amateur and Three Real Starving Musicians?  No really, just so I don't accidentally catch 'em opening somewhere.  I was a little lukewarm to Billy Bob before, now there's no question:  What a tool.  Kudos to the interviewer for not calling him "out" on the air.

gotta give the interviewer credit for staying on task and making the best of a bad situation.  i know i couldn't have pulled it off... i either would have started being flippant and escalating the situation until it imploded, or (more likely) i would have fallen apart and become useless.  ok, more useless than normal.

and no discussion of bad interviews is complete without a mention of thom yorke being awkward, although in this case i blame the interviewer for continuing to push something that thom obviously didn't want to talk about.  oohhhh, how edgy.

He doesn't only act like a jerk, he looks like one too. What's with the goat landing strip just below your garbage can. Just after you say the stupidest thing ever, you keep on talking. I suggest you move to a place where they can't understand English. And quickly.

Does anyone remember Harmony Korine on Letterman, around the time Gummo came out?

I remember that being epic back then.
Woof.
