Adam Curry Reveals Richard Marx Tried to Get Him Fired From MTV
Adam Curry says Richard Marx 'literally tried to get me fired' after Curry made a joke about his hair on MTV's Top 20 Countdown.
Adam Curry recounted a behind-the-scenes MTV feud with singer Richard Marx, claiming Marx attempted to get him fired after Curry made a lighthearted joke about Marx's hair during a Top 20 Countdown broadcast. Curry said, "There's Richard Marx with his hair at number four on the top 20 countdown. He tried to get me fired. He literally tried to get me fired." The hosts noted the irony that Curry himself had similarly big, quaffed hair at the time, making the joke somewhat hypocritical. One host quipped, "Curry literally had the same quafted up hair as Richard Marx at that time. So, doesn't even make sense." The discussion also touched on Marx's current demeanor, with hosts suggesting he hasn't actually softened over the years despite appearances. "I don't think Richard Marx has grown more confident or relaxed. I think he takes it even harder. He's just better at pretending he's fine," one host observed. Marx is currently married to TV personality Daisy Fuentes, and the hosts joked that the couple now avoids Twitter to keep their tempers in check.
