The Jay Show

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages! Halforums proudly presents to you a no-holds-barred, tongue-in-cheek interview extravaganza where YOU... a cherished poster of Halforums will put themselves ON THE LINE and receive no less than 10 Questions from yours truly. What better way than to answer these… “Risqué” questions that this humble host will ask of you so that the Halforums community will finally get to know you better and more importantly provide great enjoyment for your peers.

However, a word of caution… for the questions will be… well “Jay-like” and you MUST be frank in your answers. Those who dodge and turn, surrendering in their time of need like some French soldier should absent themselves from participating directly. Furthermore, this goes for party-poopers as well.

The original plan is to set this up as a bi-weekly event, so that it remains fresh and amusing and we’ll work it from there.

Do note, I will not select my interviews by order of entry but rather by whom I personally judge can provide the most amusement. However, as people turns are processed, eventually, you’ll be called up to podium with yours truly. I do however would like you to kindly note that I’m open to bribery... sending me PMs that you want in and amusing me, will work… as well as currency… in Euro... or tits.

How it works:

  1. A vict… I mean…. a respected fellow poster is “selected” a few days before the official interview process. This selection is publicly announced.
  2. Fellow posters are very welcomed to “Bamboozle” the guest with a staged question of their own once the name selection is announced. They can send me their questions and may or may not be used in the interview process.
  3. We discuss in PMs and arrange a date where you’ll be most available to answer the questions in the next few days. You’ll receive the question as per agreed date and you must provide answers in return shortly thereafter. The questions will be about ANYTHING, however as I don’t want drama to result, I will not ask you questions in regards of controversial subjects (aka, religion, politics). We must keep things entertaining and you must answer frankly and honestly. The way the interviews process may change, especially in the beginning as I find my stride in how I'd like to proceed. Perhaps in the form of a few questions at a time with follow-up questions following up by how you answered. Ventrilo interviews are different as well.
  4. The host will prepare the interview; garnish it in ways to provide additional amusement.
  5. Interview is posted, feedback/comments are encouraged.
  6. The questions selected are completely and utterly my own choice.
  7. Feel free to press Like to any posters you'd like to direct to the podium.... more likes gets more interest from me and ultimately more ratings. Whore yourselves out.
  8. Traditionally the interview process will be text based, however, I'd be open to Ventrilo interviews even though those require far more work and... less of an opportunity to... escape the pressure. A pressure cooker situation of sorts.
I discussed this idea with Dave and got the thumbs up and even discussed quickly about how favorite interviews may be polled by forum members and perhaps some sort of small prize can be provided. We'll see, no promises.

However, kindly note that this is not something for those:

  1. Who are easily insulted, or find themselves sensitive about certain subjects like sexuality or whatnot.
  2. Cannot appreciate a good joke, even those who have been beaten by a dead horse.
  3. Refuse to answer questions that puts them on the spot.
  4. Who don’t like me (if that is the case, you wouldn’t even have read this thread! Bwahaha)
  5. Cannot meet scheduling timelines, have a busy schedule, "things come up".
And thus… with this said...I ask of you to sign up… right here… to put themselves on the VIP list… to PUT THEMSELVES ON THE LINE.

Wait, So I can submit questions to ask? And they have to answer?

Finally, we'll know what really happened on nick's prom night.
 
You should instruct people to "like" the posts of those they want you to interview here. You don't necessarily have to pay attention to the number of likes a person has in your interview order, but it could be a useful piece of information.



I'm willing to be interviewed, but I laugh at your guidelines.
 
That was what I was thinking. Skype or something, so it'd be easier to hear whether someone was being less than frank, or dodging and weaving. Also limits the usefulness of teleprompters.
 
Voice limits possible participation a little bit. And, unfortunately, not many people are as entertaining speaking off the cuff versus in writing.
 
If you want me to go first I will.
I appreciate your support Dave... but....

I'm intrigued, so count me in. But I'm also probably the most boring person here, so you can save my name for when you run out of other people to interview.
Your sacrifice ahem.... support has been duly noted.

No controversial questions? BOOOORRRRRING

Indeeeeeeeed.

I have to admit that these early attempts at provoking me are tasty to say indeed.... also bribery is already on full throttle. Did I already mention my first post only has 1 like thus far?

I do support your idea as well. Very well.... I'm in.... posts with a lot of support will get... extra consideration.

I am in.
Just to clarify..will the questions be broadcast live?
Or just posted here?
Interesting... I can cater to special requests. I'll have to... contemplate on that. You shall receive... one like from this host with the most.

I'd like to cater some live interviews. Perhaps in the form of Ventrilo, something I'm very familiar with, where I can record the interview and can be easily converted to an MP3. I believe my lackey Darryl has some expertise in that regard.

However, to be frank... I don't want people to be limited because of a lack of a proper microphone, having to endure my french accent, the mute.... etc.

Oh c'mon Jay, it's your personality, not your accent that's the problem :)
 
Hmm, I have to balance the side that thinks Jay would just ask me insulting/humiliating questions that would make me feel bad with the side that likes talking about myself. I'm gonna be on vacation this coming long weekend, so unless we did it like tomorrow, I probably wouldn't have time until ~a couple weeks. I guess I'm interested.

EDIT: yeah, I'm in, but would prefer text over voice. I am going on vacation tomorrow and will be gone a few days, not that I was expecting to be the first one chosen or anything.
 
I'm intrigued. =^^= Count me in! (Although, please let me know the verdict on the 'voice' thing. I don't have any of that stuff, so I would have to back out if thats the case.)
Added at: 15:36

Oh, I guess it got discussed, heh, never mind. =^^= I'M IN! Please.

Text please!!
(D'Aww, thanks Dave! I felt all at the bottom of the totem for not having likes..:(.)

EDIT:
So, I've decided a reward for people that like this post. You can pick any cosplay I have (completed or not) and I will dedicate a picture to you! I may even do a special Harley/Ivy photoshoot if I get enough likes. ;)
WooOOOOOoooo!!

EDIT again..:
I'm so totally IN!

I can answer stuff via typing (so I can do at work) but if you are doing voice, timing would be bad and limiting (which means I have to be home and at the computer to do it)
 
If a live, Ventrillo interview session with Jay resembles something like Craig Ferguson, I am SO fucking in.

But yeah, Venting with Jay? Damn right I'm down for that. And no, that's not code.
Added at: 16:45
Speaking of Vent, remember when we used to have Vent chat sessions? Those were fun.
 
For those of you who asked, I plan to announce the first person to be interviewed in a few days once everyone got a chance to see the thread and get their chance as well. I updated the main post with a few new tidbits (or plan to).

Feel free to spread around the love, like who you think should get an interview. Get ready to bamboozle your friends.... and... *rubs tips of fingers together* /sideshow bob "Enjoy the show."

Wait... I'm fat John Goodman?

Don't be silly. You can't even see John Goodman behind you.

Oh :(

One of my major concerns with voice interviews after an initial analysis is that a lot of people may not be able to listen to it.... especially those who are at work. Also, it's clearly a longer thing to do.

But, I'll shall try to balance things.

I've been working on the format I want to use... so far, the first draft is likable... but requires more work. Did I mention there will be popular "skits" involved? As well as "Jay's What Would You Do?" and of course... pick the "Most desirable option".

good lord I can't wait for this.

It'll either be a train wreck, or a train wreck where one train is carrying hookers and leaving chicago going 60mph while the other is leaving LA carrying blow and traveling at 130kph and this is where they collide into something awesome.

Jay, I am so down for this.

DO YOUR WORST.

Edit: Come on guys! Throw a few more likes my way!

I'll even sweeten the deal: I will VIDEO myself answering the questions. Even if Jay just wants to send me the text format, I'll answer those questions as if he's in the room with me.

I'll even wear a nice hat!
 
The doom weasels and I are good to go.

Just text, please. I would lock up and stutter during a voice interview. Plus, the doom weasels would take over and make a mockery of the whole thing.

If you like me, I'll name my next doom weasel after you.

I don't know if that's an incentive or a threat.

 
I'm interested, though I will probably fail due to the "don't want to deal with people who have too many projects going" clause (any interview would likely have to be non-voice due to conflicts). But I promise to reward the patient by making them at least a little uncomfortable.

EDIT: I'm not against the idea of a voice interview, I just think it will be difficult to pull off, schedule-wise.
EDIT2: Added non-hotlinked badge.
EDIT3: Added another non-hotlinked badge. Collect the whole set!
 
I see a lot of likes thrown around... good gooooood. People make sure to "Like" their official "I'm In" posts and not the other ones they post in... Furthermore, if you truly want to interviewed kindly do review your first post and state if you want a text interview or a voice one. You're welcomed to use colors to get more attention, get people to like your posts by providing them favors in return sexual or not... heck, you can go right and whore yourself out.

Anything goes.
