    --------
    In this clip, Van Lathan spoke about working for TMZ starting in 2011, which he said happened after his unemployment wages were reduced significantly. He explained that he started out working as a tour bus guide for TMZ, which was followed by him being a field camera person. Van then spoke about working in the offices at TMZ as a producer, which led to him being on television. When asked about his craziest moment, he detailed being set up to interview a very angry Lamar Odom, which you can hear more about above.

    It's funny how entertaining one can be when they're just themselves. You can tell Van is a real ass dude, that wears his heart on his sleeve. And it's sad that he lost his job, but there's plenty more opportunities down the road.
