The Origins of the John C. Dvorak Impersonation

Jason Calacanis reveals that his long-running impersonation of John C. Dvorak was actually based on the actor Edward G. Robinson's "Little Caesar" persona. He recounts how the bit started on "This Week in Tech" to annoy Dvorak and how Dave Chappelle's own Robinson impression influenced the performance. Curry and Calacanis reminisce about Dvorak's reaction to the "gangster" portrayal of his curmudgeonly personality.
