A producer and “casting person” for MTV’s The Real World. Laura invites Eggers to an interview after he submits an audition tape to be on The Real World: San Francisco. As she asks him questions, Eggers pontificates about a number of things, closely examining his life until it becomes clear that the interview has strayed from reality. “This isn’t really a transcript of the interview, is it?” Laura asks, and Eggers responds by admitting that it is more of a “catchall for a bunch of anecdotes that would be too awkward to force together otherwise.”
