The ’90s were peak MTV chaos, and Kennedy lived every second of it. But long before the beach houses, VMAs, and Unplugged performances, a wanderlust selling ads for toilet paper helped set the whole thing into motion.  Tom Freston, former President and CEO of MTV, and author of Unplugged: Adventures From MTV to Timbuktu, sits down with his former employee for a cocktail and a trip down memory lane, covering everything from his adventures in Afghanistan to the night Kennedy almost got fired.
