What incident on live TV prompted President Obama to call Kanye West a "Jackass"?

MTV awards when West went on stage and began to rant.
Correct!

Audio probably has to be manually enabled.

At that time, Taylor Swift was Taylor Lautner's 'beard'. He should have done something besides standing there smiling.

Which Rock star was a panelist on Hollywood Squares in 1973?

I seem to recall Alice Cooper was a panelist, but I thought it was well past 1973. I'll go with Alice Cooper.
Correct!

I remember seeing him on the show. The 1973 date is what's posted on imdb.com.
