His TV Appearance Are Often Awkward 

Live TV makes Eminem nervous. Take his bizarre September 2013 ESPN appearance, in which a spaced out Em became an instant meme. In the segment, he admits he is “uncomfortable,” but he later told Rolling Stone it was a deliberate, trolling move. “I knew we were about to show the ‘Berzerk’ video, so I was doing what I call the Berzerk face,” he said. “The whole song to me feels like vintage Beastie Boys. And you know the ‘Pass the Mic’ video where Ad-Rock is making that face, kind of not looking the camera? I was doing my own version.”

In November 2013, Eminem delivered an awkward performance on live TV again, this time on Saturday Night Live. He was accused of lip syncing and faced heavy criticism from fans and the press. His rep told E! News, “[Eminem] was not lip-syncing…[he] doubles his vocals live. Rhymes over a vocal track. He only does it sporadically through the songs. They’re accent tracks.”
