In today's Boing Boing Video episode (which is ad-free!), Jeremy Vest from "How's Your News?" schools our guest correspondent Matty Kirsch in the fine art of man-on-the-street interviews. We featured "How's Your News?" in a previous BBV episode last week. This is a news/comedy program in which the presenters are people with physical and mental disabilities. Some have Down Syndrome, others cerebral palsy, and so on. Jeremy, above, has Williams Syndrome.

"HYN" has been around for some years in various forms, but what's new is that Matt Stone and fellow South Park creator Trey Parker are producing a version of How's Your News as a new MTV series. It airs Sunday nights on MTV.

This Boing Boing video episode is ad-free, and contains (SPOILER ALERT):

* A hobo with a crack spoon
* A hobo playing musical crack spoons
* Handcrafted solicitations for love and/or prostitution
* A man impersonating the President by way of a Shepard Fairey knockoff tshirt
* A dog who wants to be mayor.
