A month before the hoopla surrounding comedian Artie Lange's controversial appearance on HBO's Joe Buck Live, the show's host invited SLM to hang out for a profile in our forthcoming July issue.
Over the course of two days, Joe Buck let us tag along at J.Buck's downtown, his childhood house, Busch Stadium, and his Ladue home. Buck was genuinely witty and sincere, often mixing one-liners and impersonations with thoughts on fame, as well as fond memories of his dad.
As we talked about his HBO show, having no idea at the time how it would unfold on live TV, he explained, "I've been around what I'm doing since I was 2, so getting a chance to do some different things and show a different side of my personality and have some fun is really exciting to me."
So what's it like to be Buck? Pick up the July issue, on newsstands this week, and find out.
