Jason Brown's TV clip. He speaks in English (of course) so no translation needed.

They did ask him 'Are you famous?'
Thx, Newbie. Very enjoyable video.
I actually wish that they had asked Jason whether he has ever studied Japanese ... and b/c his answer would have been "Yes," I wish they had asked him to speak some Japanese.
Curious whether this show relies on sheer serendipity to stumble upon characters who turn out to be good television -- or whether the video crews sometimes know in advance who they will "find."
Can't decide what I think the circumstances were in Jason's case.
If Jason were a premeditated subject, I hope the producers would have researched him sufficiently to know to ask him about his Japanese studies.
(And LOL, I think the always-lovely Kori would have thrown on some lipstick before the camera started rolling.)
Don't get me wrong, if something lighthearted such as the Jason "discovery" were staged, I would have no problem with it. And I would enjoy the video just as much.
Cute how Kori "bragged" on Jason as the U.S. champion, etc. Again, nothing wrong with that. Just cute.
You can sorta tell that the order is rather edited.
His glasses disappear and then reappear just before his jump. So he likely took them off to jump, and all the no glasses stuff was filmed after the jump and then spliced in.
So either the liked him more after and spent more time, or Kori took the opportunity to que stuff up on his phone - you can see him empty out his pockets just before the jump, and she hands the phone with the pic of Hanyu to him later - I think she made good use of her time with Jason jumping. Though I also hope they learn to put the glasses back on for easier continuity in the future.
Also tucked in pony tail, interesting.
The hair "bun" tucked under his cap jumped out at me too. I like the look
.
Re: "I also hope they learn to put the glasses back on ..."
Not sure to whom you are referring.
It's the responsibility of the producer(s) to be mindful of continuity, so it would be something for the producers to learn.
But not the responsibility of subjects such as Jason and Kori, who are not going to be involved in the editing process.
I would need more of Jason's attitude to do that!
