Allow me to introduce Jim Cantiello, an MTV News *staple, **experienced entertainment blogger and all around ***funny dude. Jim's the host of MTV Detox, our new!daily!online! video recap of the most jaw-dropping!head-shaking!wheel-turning! moments from the primetime lineup. He'll also be keeping a blog here on Remote Control to share the inside scoop on what went down every day during filming. Check out the premiere episode of MTV Detox below and find out from Jim why it pays to have no shame...
*In the non-injurious sense.
**Resume includes a daring yet somewhat anti-climactic American Idol audition.
***LOL all the way yo. Mark my words...
It's hard to pin down my most embarrassing moment from taping the inaugural episode of MTV Detox. Was it when Production Assistant, Adam Murphy, blasted me in the eye with a stream of water fit for a fire hose? Or was it when I had to seductively peel off a sock and wave my ugly foot in front of the camera for a gag? Nope, I think it had to be when "Google Me" singer Teyana Taylor passed through the Newsroom just as the makeup artist was applying my tramp-stamp tattoo that read "Speidi Married Forever!"
Regardless, I have no shame, because I'm so stoked we're getting to produce this wacky show every day. I'd do just about anything for it...
So enjoy the first of (hopefully) many MTV Detox daily recaps, and don't say you weren't warned about the foot gag. --Jim
