If you’re familiar with Leo Laporte, you’ll probably know hims as a calm and thick skinned techie individual. I have been watching his tech shows for a very long time now, From Tech TV’s Screensavers, to Call For Help. I have never seen him explode like this with another person before.

The whole thing took place on Tech Crunch when he was about to show off a new gadget he was asked to review. The Palm Pre to be exact.

This has become such a popular video that it has already made it to Keyboard Cat.

This is a simple case of a person under pressure and stress and has unfortunately made it’s way on camera. All Mike was trying to set up was that if it was a Free Palm Pre it might be influencing his review, but before Mike could finish setting up the whole thing, Leo lost his nerve and blew up on Mike.

Leo has since apologized for the incident at Tech Crunch on the post about the incident, and has also made the apology live on air also.

I imagine is very embarrassed about all this publicity because it’s out of character IMO. Just a case of somebody having a bad day obviously.

But hey, it’s sure fun to watch though hey?
