I was trying to interview actor Jay Mohr about hosting the 14th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards at DICE 2011…but that never really got started. He liked my microphone and thought it was cool that I also use it to belt out Journey songs in karaokoe. This led him to singing a bunch of Van Halen songs. I thought it was cool that he did one in his Christopher Walken impersonation, as per my request. I thought it was cooler that he cut off his interview with Kotaku’s Brian Crescente because he remembered what song he wanted to sing. Ha!
Check out this clip of outtake footage when you have a chance. Bonus points will be awarded if you can name the famous gaming people in the background!
Around 2:11 one of the MDs look over at you and starts grinning. I think they found it funny XD
I wonder what they were thinking. I'm sure they were amused by Jay, but they've known we long enough to be thinking, "Looks like Ray is up to his usual schtick." The latter would be ironic because I actually wanted a straight interview with Jay.
They'd probably get a kick out of it if they new you were trying to get a straight interview.

Awesome video dude!
Pretty funny video. I hope you were able to get a serious interview with him.
I actually didn't have time to. Hopefully next year. He roasts the hell out of developers during the Interactive Achievement Awards, but he seems to genuinely admire and respect them too. I'd love to talk to him about that.
i am huge snl fan, even though he was on it for a very short period of time, i would have marked out a bit…
I was going to bring up Picture Perfect. Ha!
