Who came onstage and interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for Best Female Video at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards?

Kanye West?

Correct!

The full video of the incident, including the introduction of the award presenters, the nominees, and the aftermath, isn't on YouTube, and it was blocked from public display when I uploaded it yesterday, (I can see it when logged into my own YouTube channel) You CAN see it, and download the .avi video file, (about 54 MB), from my 4shared dot com account.

Note that muted audio is a default setting on 4shared, so you have to enable it manually. Otherwise, the controls for full screen, pause, play etc. are the same as on YouTube.

In the ten minutes following this incident, Swift had to change her dress and compose herself before performing live.

She got to finish her acceptance speech after being invited back on stage by Beyoncé, winner of Video of the Year.

One thing Taylor Swift can't do is dance. Here's her 'Elaine' impersonation:

The Drew Carey Show:

Where did Drew work?
Where did he and his buddies hang out?

What business did he run out of his garage?
He worked for a department store but I don't know the name.

They hung out at The Warsaw Tavern and they started a small business brewing beer in the garage.

What 70's tv star had a song that spent 1 week at #1 on Bill Board, name song also.

I have the pilot episode, possibly unaired, of a 1998 show named Hollyweird, produced by Cassidy and Wes Craven. Watch for a posting in a thread I haven't started yet.

You should give more information in a question like this, perhaps the year or decade of the song, instead of a hint later that makes it a dead giveaway.

Not the correct answer, but here's a TV star who became a movie star, and recorded a hit song, (#17 in Canada).


Fernando was one of Crystal's recurring characters in his one season, (1984-85), on Saturday Night Live.
