Ben Sits Down With infoMania's 2010 Man of the Year: Steven Slater

Ben_Hoffman
Steven Slater provided a vicarious thrill for every fed-up office drone this year when the Jet Blue flight attendant commandeered the plane's intercom, dropped an F-bomb on an annoying passenger, publicly quit his job, grabbed two beers and hopped down the emergency slide onto the tarmac. Did he ever dream that yellow inflatable slide would deliver him all the way to the coveted honor of infoMania's 2010 Man of the Year? Of course not; no mortal can dream that big. Our own Ben Hoffman gets Slater to relive his star-making moment and the media explosion that ensued, though he dodges Ben's hard-hitting question about the "biggest turd" he ever found in an airplane lavatory.

infoMania is a half-hour satirical news show that airs on Current TV. The show puts a comedic spin on the 24-hour chaos and information overload brought about by the constant bombardment of the media. Hosted by Conor Knighton and co-starring Brett Erlich, Erin Gibson, Ben Hoffman, Bryan Safi and Sergio Cilli, the show airs on Thursdays at 11/10c on Current TV.
