Jesse James Dupree (Jackyl) Vs. Tom Green

Wow, when i first watched this video i couldn't help but laugh. I thought it was really funny how ironic it was that tom green actually could be pissed about this. He is the exact type of person that did that type of stuff everyday. To me, Jesse did this for entrainment purposes and there is no reason to get all pissed off.
Although this is an extreme case but this is not good rapport building on Jesse's part. You can clearly see that tom green is not enjoying the chain sawing of his desk. I personally thought it was really funny. I wonder if any other interview could ever go as horribly wrong as this one. i wonder if tom would of taken the time to interview Jesse if he questions would of been more closed or to the point. I was interested in the questions that tom was going to ask after the chainsaw introduction. this would be like showing up for a corporate job interview in a t-shirt and gym short and expect them to even consider you as a candidate. it is quit obvious that tom doesn't want to do the interview and makes it very clear through the lack of respect that he show his guest/Jesse. He quickly tries to avoid this by skipping the interview part and letting him play and then letting him leave.
In the end, I think that both of these people are entertainers and all Jesse was trying to do was something spontaneous and bizarre. You can clearly see his plan backfired. He not only hurt his rapport but he also lost a lot of respect from tom and maybe form other interviewers who were planning on having him on their show.

wow

Watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRZGPAlyO60
How scared would you be if you had to do a 60 min. interview with bob knight. What would you do to prepare yourself? Would you be usually nervous? Would you be just as nervous if you were interviewing a friendlier coach?
