Jason Sudeikis ("30 Rock," "Saturday Night Live") is so good as the rock-band manager in ["The Rocker"][1]that he pretty much steals the show. Being rockers ourselves, we wanted to do something a little different than the normal junket interview. Sudeikis was in town, so we ambushed the comedy star with a rock n' roll quiz to see how much of his portrayal was a result of Method acting. As it turns out, this didn't quite go exactly as planned. This is probably the last time we try to quiz a movie star. Yikes! Maybe we should just stick to the regular junket questions. Anyway, enjoy this very uncomfortable interview with Jason Sudeikis from a dirty hotel room somewhere in Kansas City. [1]: http://www.lawrence.com/movies/1865/

Oh wow. That's the funniest thing I've seen in a while. I think you accidentally tapped into Stephen Colbert's and Sacha Baron Cohen's awkward interview magic. It reminded me of Stephen Colbert quizzing some actor, I forget who, who professed not to be a Hollywood type, about really nitty-gritty local issues from the town where he lived, like, "Who do you support in the upcoming Watershed District No. 3 race?"I saw Jason Sudeikis do stand-up recently and he was really funny. The way he takes the quiz so seriously and seems so disappointed to keep failing is kind of endearing.
