What's up with John Schneider?

[DarrenX33]

Looked to see if it was mentioned here but didn't find anything.

Anyone else cringe when he got up on the roof of the General Lee. You could see in the various shots that the metal was flexing all over the place. I couldn't believe it. If I was planning on bidding on that car I would have thrown my shoe at him. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I was wondering if he wasn't drunk or something; seemed kind of odd that he would climb onto the roof of the car and then break out into song. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Looked like he was at least trying to stand over the roll cage, otherwise he would've landed on his ass when the roof caved in. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
You reallly think he was drunk? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

Yep, all part of the extravagant conspicuous-consumption entertainment spectacle that is B-J. I thought he might have thrown-out his back jumping in trough the driver's side. Gotta watch it when you get older jumping around with young girls and Dodge Chargers.

[m22mike]

Yea!

Can't repeat what I called him when he got on the roof, what a dope !
I will puke if I ever have to look at another LEE CLONE http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif

He now has a role on Nip/Tuck on FX. He is a porn producer named Ram. Quite a 180* from Jonathan Kent on Smallville.

He looks wasted in the photo above !!! That answers some questions.

About a year ago,just before his eBay ad,John Schneider was a guest on WGN news here.
The reporter,Dean Richards,was given permission to jump in the drivers seat ala Bo Duke style of Johns personal General Lee,after watching John do it himself.
He got a running start,with John watching,and ran up to the drivers side rear window,where he reached his arm out & flung his lower torso into the seat...It wasn't very graceful for the middle aged portly reporter and he never made it all the way in.
But he forgot he had his portable microphone pocketpack on,and put one Major dent/scratch in the cars rear C pilar deck area there.You could hear a metallic pound on camera..
The reporter was embarassed to say the least,as it was live,and John was clearly upset.
He stood there silent rubbing it with his hand,saying HOLYSH**.
They went to commercial,and when they came back,John was nowhere in sight.
The reporter said he would pay for the damage.
2 weeks later the reporter reported a bill arrived for $7,500.00 for the small dent/scratch damage that,as he put it,HE had caused.
Now HE was upset.

Trust me...he was not feeling any pain. He was two feet away from me. LOL http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

All I can say is that I had the opportunity to meet John in person several years ago at the Cleveland Autorama.. I thought he was a very nice, down to earth and friendly guy. This was just a one on one meeting with nobody else around. I think sometimes celebs. act differently when they are around a lot of people. But he was just like "one of the guys" and I got to chat with him for a while.

He was still a very nice guy. I think he stopped for 10 photo ops with people in the audience within about 8 feet...definitely an approachable guy! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Canucklehead]

I thought it was pretty cool that he went and tried to encourage the bidders and was out there shakin hands and signing autographs, it look to me like he was having a good time.

[agtw31]

how long can you milk a tv show about inbreds in a dodge?

judging from this guy,a very long time.

I wished they had used a Ford-Stang and not the Charger!
I hates LEE clones to death !

The song and actual auction of the car aside (very BJ circus like);

I found him to be a really really nice guy. And he was having a coffee when we were side stage talking to him earlier in the day.

JOHN

[rich p]

Super nice guy !! He was drinking coffee up in the skybox after the car went threw and was drinking water before that.
He seems to be a real energenic person but drunk I didnt see that !!
