What is he doing? Eminem's awkward moment on live TV Eminem also known as Marshall Mathers made an appearance on ESPN and was acting very strange. Courtesy: ESPN Um...hello? Anyone there? WILL the real Slim Shady please wake up? Eminem has made a puzzling appearance on live TV. The rap superstar was on ESPN to promote his new single and video, Berzerk, during a college-football game, when it all started to unravel. Sitting between anchors Brent Musburger and Kirk Herbstreit, Eminem seemed confused, with his mouth hanging wide open. The footage is ... interesting. Musburger asked the rapper questions about his music and referred to him by his given name, Marshall Mathers. Eminem rarely does interviews. He could probably use more practice. "Live TV freaks me out a little bit," Eminem said. You don't say.
