John's interviews were characterized by punchline-free "joke" questions, such as asking Melanie Griffith "how her father, Andy, was." John also appeared at press conferences and asked off-the-wall questions to Gennifer Flowers, Ringo Starr, and the Dalai Lama. He asked the Dalai Lama, if anyone ever greeted him with "Hello Dolly!", in a joking reference to the play and movie; the Dalai Lama's translator whispered the translation to the Dalai Lama and a delayed chuckle came from the Dalai Lama. It seemed like he got the joke. John also provided comic interest with his misadventures, poor grammar and sloppy pronunciation. John also suffers from OCD.
