YoBeat: Making Fun of Snowboarding Since 1997

It took Sal Masekela years to break out of action sport hosting, only to end up a stupid celebrity gossip show co-host. Likewise it took years as America’s Favorite Douche for Carson Daily to earn his extra, extra late night talk show. But those guys are losers in comparison to Mr. Richards who has gone from rail jams to his second hosting gig on MTV, in what seems like the blink of an eye. But how has this all happened, what’s the next show, and how do you get his autograph before it’s too late?

1. Yobeat: Rumor has it you’re hosting a music countdown, how did this happen?

Todd Richards: Well I was just sitting in my man cave playing Modern Warfare 2 and I got an email saying, want to do a rock count down on MTV 2? I said, is there a chance I can look like a complete douche? They said, most certainly, so I signed on.

2. Do you even know much about music?

I love my music. Unfortunately I doubt MTV 2 would ever play any videos by At The Drive In (may they rest in peace) or Goblin Cock, so I basically know nothing. Especially if it’s about Beyonce or Jay-Z or anyone with the weird reverb on their voices. Basically anything that Louie Vito listens to.

3. Will this lead to the re-birth of TRL, with you as the host, ultimately landing you an extra late night talk show?

TRL was a cyst on the cock of life. If you ever see me being Carson Daily-ish please, for the love of god, swiftly kick me in the penile area as to make me shatter my skin stick into countless pieces.

4. Have you considered losing weight, getting a bit more tan, cutting your hair, bleaching your teeth, pumping some iron, getting a shot of botox, and wearing Ed Hardy for your appearance?

Hmm, you just described Lauri Heiskari except for the Ed Hardy shirt.

5. As the newest MTV VJ, are you upset you weren’t given a role in Jersey Shore?

Oh god, that show looks like the best thing to happen to TV since HDMI cables and Modern Warfare 2. Did I mention that game gives me a boner? Oh and check this shit. Me and my friend Chris were on there shooting each other today and saw that JP Tomich is like 15,000th in the world right now or some shit. Talk about a total loser. God I’m jealous of his player level, bet he has the heart beat sensor already. Wait, what was the question?
