(He and MTV agreed not to air a segment of the video in which he put on a bulletproof vest and shot himself.) And if you're nonplussed--and maybe a tad defensive about being nonplussed ("But I'm cool! I liked Beavis and Butt-Head!")--Knoxville is doing his job.

...Jeff Greenfield, spread out along a giant desk, come across at times like four strangers laconically chatting while waiting for a bus. And though I admire the guy and hate to say it, you've gotta place some of the blame on Bernard Shaw, sheathed in his 12-inch bulletproof coating of gravitas; it just seems to deaden anything approaching an irreverent bullpen sensibility, which you need if you plan to stay up with a news crew until...
