Fox & Friends might want to do a better job screening its guests after this interview with "Max Rice" degenerated into awkwardness and dead air.
Seeking an Obama supporter who is now voting for Romney, the Fox News program instead got a prankster/wannabe standup comedian who specializes in weird non-sequitors. For instance, why is he supporting Romney? "It's actually a funny story," says Rice. "I lost a basketball game." Rice's answers appeared to annoy host Gretchen Carlson, who wisely concluded that Rice was "not totally serious" about the interview. Carlson ends the segment by saying that she was going to give Rice another chance "when he's ready to do the interview."
