What Andrew W.K. didn’t mention in his Uncensored Interview was his new TV show! There aren’t many details about the show so far, though it wouldn’t be his first television show. So what form will this new program take? Will it be a variety show like the Osbournes? A talk show like Henry Rollins? Lord only knows. The only clue we have is that there will be a studio audience.
A part of me hopes it will be a show for kids, like a new Mister Rogers. Despite his tough outer persona, I have a feeling that inside he is a gentle soul perfectly suited to fill Rogers’ sweater. Regardless of my hopes and dreams, an Andrew W.K.-hosted kids show seems unlikely.
Maybe Andrew W.K. is hosting a new Jackass spin-off! His song “We Want Fun” was the lead single from the Jackass movie soundtrack, and he seems like he would be the type of guy capable pulling off ridiculous, stupid or otherwise impossible stunts.
Don’t rule out an Andrew W.K. infomercial either:
Finally, I wouldn’t put it out of the realm of possibility that there isn’t a TV show at all; that this is some sort of elaborate performance art project just to get people into a room thinking they are in a studio audience. The man has fucked with people’s heads before–performing experimental piano pieces instead of his usual “party hard” set at a concert, for instance. Heck, I think this is probably the most likely possibility, but it’s sure to be a party, no matter what.
