i still have no idea. i was kind of hoping it would be revealed here, but i certainly don't care enough to look outside the forums.
Yeah...that's why I really won't look much farther into it. I just heard on TV he's USA's (the channel, not the country, lol) character of the month or whatever and they said something about him being an extraordinary comedian. But since I've never seen him quoted or seen him on anything other than the MTV awards, which I promptly shut off, I somehow doubt he's that fantastic. If he was, I woulda known about him a long time ago.
Check out his stand-up routines on YouTube, it's very good. "Shame" is better than "Doing Life". His autobiography is also interesting.
i'm 7 minutes into shame and i still haven't heard anything funny. it wasn't a good sign when he came out and said "hi, thanks for coming," and the audience took it as a joke...
