Interview: Leeroy Jenkins
We have more BlizzCon 07 footage that’s going to come out, but I couldn’t resist publishing this interview now! FYI, there’s an F-word thrown in during some of the game footage, so it might be NSFW for some of you. For those that don’t know, Leeroy is definitely the most infamous WoW celebrity/character in the history of the game! For more info on Leeroy, see his page at Mahalo. Thanks to Tyler and Conrad for putting this together!

haha, what a journalistic coup! classic.
That video still gets me every time. And he seems so normal in person.
Nice job. My first-born son will be named Leeroy.
Hah! Leeeeeeeeroyyy Jenkinssss. Shweet.
Still love that to this day.
Haha, awesome.
Not just normal, cute as a bug
Gah! You left out the “well at least I got chicken” line at the end.
My life now seems complete… thanks for posting this!

Cool! he did a bumper for The Instance for us as well. Seems like a totally nice guy.
Love it!…classic
At least he had chicken.
haha awesome video, and interview
Kudos for unmasking the most infamous WoW player on the net. Now if we can just get him and Tay Zonday to team up on a mixtape…

also, were you covering blizzcon on friday? i’m surprised i didn’t bump into you

Leeroy Jenkins: ‘Well, you know, I was hungry.’…

ahaha, that made my post lunch food coma.
That was a weak shout, and this guy’s 15 minutes of fame are over.
So *that’s* what he looks like. Amazing.
Also, congrats on your Mahalo job, Veronica.

Aw, it’s nice to see some of Veronica during her hiatus. Good interview, I never quite understood the whole Leeroy Jenkins thing until now, since I’m not a gamer and never quite cared to understand it. Enlightening.
Kevin wrote, “Nice job. My first-born son will be named Leeroy.” Heck with that, my first son will be named Veronica.
OMFG thats funny, nice
Wow, who knew Leeroy Jenkins would be so cute?
Fancy… Now you’re on Wow Insider…
I’m so glad to finally have the story behind that! Thank you.
[…] Click. Watch. Laugh….again. I watched this video when it originally hit the internet, but had not watched it in over a year probably. It cracked me up once again. Oh…to have actually been on their vent that night would have been priceless. […]
Yay V!!! I’m a guy so I don’t quit know what you mean by hot, but cool nonetheless!

I remember going into Arathi Basin last Thanksgiving. Turns out that Paladin wearing the girly tabard was beefed out big time. Fear Leeroy. He’ll nail you in about 2 or 3 hits.

who cares about this guy and WOW, that sh*ts played out, what I want to know is how veronica got so beautiful.
Ahhh, it feels good to see You back on some form of internet tv.
P.S.
That shirt is ballin
That was SOFA KING AWESOME! Thanks very much Veronica!
haha I just read mike’s comment… while you are a babe…. that is weird… I don’t care who you are.. still weird.. hitting on a girl.. over the internet…. who is taken…hahaha ahah man I actually laughed out loud at my own joke…. so lol.
[…] more Leeroy here, here, here, and […]
aahhh the absolute best memory of WoW…
brings a tear to my eye every time…
LOL the man, the myth… the legend. Leeeeeeroyyyy Jenkinnnnnsss Good to know what he looks like finally.
Some reason everytime I hear the name Leroy Jenkins reminds me of the movie Boomarang where Eddie Murphy is talking about Spock..and said that Spocks last name was Jenkins.
Uh, yeah, it’s cool that you met Leeroy and all and showed us what he looks like, and you’re hot and all, but this really isn’t much of an interview. I mean, why not answer the questions about the video that we were all wondering about (i.e., it’s obviously a fake.. Did it really happen? was this a re-enactment or just something that was staged?)
wow so that is what was up with the chicken
Brilliant!
Do you play on french servers veronica ?
Wow, I’m not as nerdy as I thought; I’ve never heard of that guy before in my life.
[…] For dere som spiller WoW eller rett og slett har sett videoen med Leeroy Jenkins kan jeg tipse om at Veronica Belmont (tidligere fra Buzz Out Loud podcast) har intervjuet personen bak det som blir omtalt som tidenes WoW flause. Dere kan se videoklippet p hennes side. […]
I laughed hard at this video. Too bad it was a setup.
too bad the whole leroy jenkins thing was set up, it was all planned and pretty much the stupidest thing i have ever seen, no group in their right minds would have taken that path in UBRS, so yeah good job
At least he has chicken.
great job as usual.
Your silent laugh about 10-15 seconds was soooo cute — like when kittens do those little silent meows — cute overload! ;D Anyway, looks like you’re having fun at Mahalo, Veronica — have a good one!
Ummm…it’s not “At least I GOT chicken”……It’s “At least I’m NOT chicken”!

LEEEEEEEEEYROOOY!!!!
What a cool interview
leroy jenkins rocks, hilarious stuff. nice & original interview
[…] On Veronica Belmont’s Webpage she has an interview with Leeroy Jenkins. […]

hahaha. great job
Awsome!
Leeroy Jenkins is most definitely a god among men.
AHAHAHAHA!
YES!! Leeroy!!!! Man, I wish I could meet him, atleast over WoW. lol.
Anyways, yeah that one dude is right, you are hot. Lol, and thanks for showing us Leeroy. I think it’s amazing how he became that famous over a wipe. Lol. Welp, I think that’s all I wanna say for now…plus that video gets me every time!
LEEEEEERRRRROOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYY JENKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least i have my chicken… ha the truth is though that leeroy is actually my brother.
Come on! This gotta be fake, read G chat (on better quality you can actually see it), “WIPE TIME” and people laugh when they walk in.
Still awesome tho.
im from indian, i love you leeeeeeeroyyyy
[…] Mahalo Daily is a video podcast that is set to start very soon, that will be hosted by Veronica Belmont. It’s basically going to be about…um… well everything. Mahalo hasn’t really said much about the show other than the idea is that it will cover the searches that were recently popular on Mahalo, and not just technology as many of Veronica Belmont’s fans were expecting given her techie background and previous employment at Cnet. While the show hasn’t officially started yet, you can see a little preview of what it will be like here. […]

You think his fame is over?
Everyone who ever heard the name Leroy Jenkins, will never ever forget it as long as they live. Sure he probably wont have his real name (Ben Schultz) written next to Thomas Jefferson on some memorial but he’ll be more famous than most
Certainly has been for alot longer than 15 minutes now.
I still don’t get what makes this funny. It is not like the whole crew “had” to run in to save his ass.
at least he has chicken
gee - come on mike? do you play WoW?
granted - what you’d normally do is just let the noob die, don’t get into combat.. or he could of bubble-hearthed..
but it’s just so damn funny, the whole sight of it. we’ve all been in that “OH SHI-” position before where everything lags up and you see a huge zerg of mobs then you are down…
anyway - this guy has become immortalized - no way he will ever be forgotten..
/bow
hmmm, Her face seemed very…shocked/scared when leeroy did the battle cry.

O.o i thought he was a black guy from the voice XD
dam this video still gets me every time i watch it its hilarious though his pay back is funny “at least i have chicken”
LOL
WoW is a great game……
if u dont have a life like me ;D
/clap
“leroy you are just stupid as hell” - my fav line
I want proof that this is really LeeRoy himself! For all I know this could just be a publicity stunt from the interviewer (although a funny one) or just a random guy tricking the interviewer. Make him prove that it is rly him!
