If you'd willingly seek advice from long-haired, crazy-eyed rocker Andrew W.K., then MTV2 has the perfect new show for you.
Although the network continues to describe itself as a "24-hour music network," a new talk show titled "Your Friend, Andrew W.K." will premiere at 9 p.m. May 22.
Andrew W.K., who released his last album, "The Wolf," in September 2003, will answer e-mails from fans giving what most of them will think constitutes good advice. He'll also periodically play some of his favorite videos.
"Whenever I need advice or I need to get out of a jam, I have a hotline in my office that connects me directly with Andrew W.K.," says Tom Calderone, executive vice president of music and talent programming, MTV & amp; MTV2.
"Not only is Andrew an incredibly talented musician and spirited live performer, but he has formed amazingly strong connections with his fans and MTV2 viewers. That's why we are so happy to present 'Your Friend Andrew W.K."'
In addition to his busy touring schedule, Andrew W.K. hosted MTV2's "Most Controversial Videos" countdown and assisted in the network's promotions for "Jackass: The Movie." He agrees with Calderone's lofty assessment of his value.
"It's amazing to actually have a television show! YES!!!," the excitable Andrew W.K. explodes. "MTV2 asked me what I wanted it to be about and I said, 'The show shouldn't be about ME it should be about US,' and that's the way it works -- people can write to me and I get to go and visit them at their houses and hang out and try to answer their questions! I don't know if I'm really qualified to be giving someone advice, but since people are asking for it, I'm going to do the best I can to help them out!"
