The guy interviewing jason is horrible. No follow up questions, no real conversation, just reading questions off of a list. Come on jason, why did you give these guys a chance?

[FFWDEntertainment]

U guys are getting to many shows and to big for one network, take a page from vevos books and give every show it's own channel
