This interview is one of the funniest and bizarre interviews of Paul`s career all due to the woman (who is reportedly a well known actress but
obviously also a big fan rather than a TV reporter) who has an incredibly hard time controlling herself in Paul`s company.
This lengthy report also has footage of Paul and Linda leaving their hotel to go to the venue with the reporter following their limo and then
