Adam Curry Reveals Richard Marx Tried to Get Him Fired Over Hair Joke
Adam Curry recalls making a joke about Richard Marx's hair on MTV, prompting Marx to literally try to get him fired.
Adam Curry shared a story from his MTV days about making a lighthearted joke regarding Richard Marx's hair during a top 20 countdown. Curry said, "There's Richard Marx with his hair at number four on the top 20 countdown." The remark prompted Marx to attempt to get Curry fired from the network. The hosts noted that Marx "has always been a prick" and "always been mad with power." The irony, as one host pointed out, is that Curry himself had similarly big, quaffed hair at the time: "Curry literally had the same quafted up hair as Richard Marx at that time. So, doesn't even make sense." They also discussed Marx's current marriage to Daisy Fuentes, with one host joking she was "Nick Fuentes's sister," which drew laughter. The hosts debated whether Marx has genuinely softened over the years or just gotten better at pretending he's fine, with one concluding: "We should make fun of him more."
