Michelle Collins Interviews "The Elevator Guy"

thumbnail icon: Michelle Collins Interviews "The Elevator Guy"

Last Friday, our friend Michelle Collins from BWE.tv guest-hosted Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld on Fox News. And may I predict that Michelle Collins will soon host her own TV show, so charming and witty and good on TV is she. The funniest part was when Michelle introduced her slang term for a laugh fest, "LOLocaust," to the Fox News audience. The most fascinating part was when Michelle interviewed the viral video star of Spring '08 (thanks to The New Yorker), Nicholas White, who was famously stuck in an elevator for 41 hours in 1999, and whose life has never been the same since. At first, I thought White was an odd choice for a cheeky late-night show, but after watching this interview, I think he seems to enjoy finally being able to have a sense of humor about his tragedy:

But Michelle, asking him if he "pleasured himself" while he was in the elevator? LOLocaust, but maybe a little over the top.

I'm in love with all commenters and bloggers associated with this post. In other news, I'm 19 drinks to the wind. Is it bad blogger etiquette to comment on a post about yourself? TOO LATE.

It was only 41 hours... I would tend to bet this guy had emotional issues way before he was stuck in the elevator. I would chill in an elevator for three times that long, that really isn't all that big a deal (plus he gets to sue; that is what would keep me sane, the thought of 10 grand in emotional grievances/compensation). What a bitch.

Michelle is pretty cute, and I don't think her asking him if he pleasured himself was over the top at all, that is the sort of reporting I want to see. These are the questions we all think about, she just cuts the pretense. Good for her. HAHA and she thinks being stuck in an elevator is arousing, kinky.

Seriously? Man, you are just the manliest manly man that ever manned a man. I bet you eat kittens for breakfast and grunt "fuck those kittens, my mind is a stainless steel kitchen utensil." High five, brah, high fuckin' five.

I am not sure what you are insinuating tet, but I believe it is an extremely poor attempt at witty sarcasm. I just said that I think this is being blown a little out of proportion. I mean she asks if he though about drinking his own urine??!! He wasn't even in there for two full days, I think that is a bit drastic.
And that guy is extremely timid/unsociable, I think that he has issues that are deep seeded and go beyond his bout with the elevator.

And what I eat for breakfast is none of your business, but if you must know I generally have a bowl of wheaties and a dead fetus with a glass of cognac.

Oh, sigh.
I disagree.
You are a douche.
You also have no understanding of grammar or idiom usage.
Thus goes the net.
The end.
