James Franco Is Hosting A Special To Promote The Interview As Dave Skylark

Here’s something you hear every day: James Franco has got a new movie coming out! To promote that movie, The Interview, he’s going to host a half-hour special on MTV completely in character.

Dave Skylark asks hard-hitting questions to celebs like Nicki Minaj: “You wrote the song ‘Superb Ass.'”

“It’s ‘Super Bass,'” Minaj corrects.

Haha! James Franco.

Of course, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen a performer stay in character for promotional purposes. Sacha Baron Cohen has done it for Borat, Bruno and The Dictator.
