Transcript of interview with Jordan Knight on
Jam'n 94.5 in Boston, January 8, 1999!!

DJ: Do you laugh when you see the Spice Girls, BSB, Hanson? Do you laugh and say I know what they’re going through?
JORDAN: Well, yeah I laugh because I do not what they’re going through, but you know I give them a lot of respect because I know when we were real successful back then a lot of people wanted to take cracks at us, but it’s all good. But they’re doing their thing and doing it well and I give them all the respect in the world.
DJ2: And you laughed all the way to the bank.
JORDAN: That’s right!
DJ: Don’t you just want to beat up one of the BSB, though? Or how about that kid Zack from Hanson? Just take him in the corner?
JORDAN: (kidding) Zack! Just give him a few upper cuts!















Caller from Houston (Jennifer): I was wondering if you wrote the song "Give It To You" and if so, what inspired it?
JORDAN: Umm, sex.
(laughter)









DJ: Do people follow you from state to state?
JORDAN: Sometimes, there’s a group of girls that wait outside my house, they’re from Spain.
DJ: Get outta here!















Caller (Jenn): I used to have a Jordan Knight doll.
JORDAN: What’d you do to the doll?
DJ: Yeah, you used to have it?
Caller: It was a birthday present.
DJ: So how much did you get for it at the pawn shop?
Caller: Oh, I still have, but there was a radio contest where they were looking for a NKOTB doll.
DJ: That was us! The scavenger hunt!
JORDAN: You should’ve told me, my mom has a whole basement full of ‘em. I coulda trucked ‘em over.












DJ: What took you so long, man?
DJ2: It’s been a looong time.
JORDAN: Oooh, you ain’t lyin’! It’s tough out there, man. No, I actually signed a deal three years ago, with Interscope records, and the album was just about to come out during the summer, then they went through this big merger.
DJ: And it just sort of fell through?
JORDAN: Yeah, I was like "This ain’t the place for me." So now I’m putting a deal together with another record company, so that’s why it’s taking a long time.
DJ2: What about movies? Are you going to do any acting, or just concentrate on the singing?
JORDAN: I’m concentrating on singing, cuz acting – I just think I’m terrible, so . . .
DJ: Well that’s good, cause a lot of people that are really bad just keep trying!
JORDAN: I’d rather just stick to what I know best.












DJ: You guys made a lot of money when you were like 18, 19. What was the craziest, stupidest, wildest thing you bought? Can you remember?
JORDAN: I have no idea. We had a whole truck of like toys, that would just follow us around. Video games, motorcycles, all kinds of stuff. It was our toy truck, it went on tour with us.
DJ2: Do you remember the first thing that you bought when you got your first big check?
JORDAN: Actually, I don’t. But I remember we did a show in LA when we were all teenagers and Bob Wolfe, who passed away, who was our business manager, walked into the back and said "I got news for all you guys, you’re all millionaires." We were like, "WWWAAAAAAAAAA!"
DJ: Wow! This is a personal question, but how many ladies do you think you hooked up with? Are we talking Wilt Chamberlain?
JORDAN: Wilt Chamberlain numbers? I don’t think I could come anywhere near those numbers!
DJ: Wilt Cahmberlain, former NBA player, said when he was on the road he had 10,000.
JORDAN: Oh my goodness.
DJ: And they did the math and said it was mathematically impossible. Are we in the thousands Jordan?
JORDAN: Just figure a young single guy on the road with a lot of screaming ladies and I’ll let your imagination take over. But not Wilt Chamberlain numbers, that’s for sure.
DJ: Who was the real whore of the group, you, Donnie or Joey?
DJ2: Leave it to you to ask that.
JORDAN: Um, it wasn’t me, and that’s all I have to say.












DJ: (to caller) You’re on with 94.5. Do you have a fantasy about JK?
Caller: Oh my god, I’ve had so many fantasies about him. I have everything, I have the doll, everything.
DJ: You’re not doing anything kinky with that doll, I hope.
Caller: No. . . (starts to tell a different story) but I used to. . oh my god (SHE DIDN’T MEAN THE DOLL!!)
JORDAN: But I used to?!?!
DJ: Did you just say you used to??
Caller: No!! I kept it in the box!
JORDAN: (I almost didn’t hear him) She kept it in the box? That musta hurt! (BAD, BAD MAN!)
DJ: Which box are we talking about? Hang on, I’m gonna lose my license today.













DJ: Let’s get back to our friend from NKOTB, Jordan Knight is in the house!
JORDAN: What up
DJ: I’m told that we have New Jersey groupies outside. Bring them in. The questions is, will they be fully clothed, Jordan?
JORDAN: I hope so.
DJ: What’s the furthest you’ve every heard of anybody traveling to see NKOTB or yourself?
JORDAN: Damn, I’m drooling over here. What’s going on? The longest – there were actually people when we were on the road who would follow us from city to city for like 6 months.
DJ2: And how did you know? Did they keep coming backstage or outside?
JORDAN: They’d always be in the same hotels and they’d drive right behind us.
DJ: Look who’s coming in – the Jersey girls are here. Say hello, ladies.
JORDAN: Like these girls I know these girls, like personally.
DJ: (To girls) Stay there, we have extra security.
(Girls are actually from Europe. Shaving discussion starts)
JORDAN: They would raise their arms, this is no disrespect – it’s culture – but when we would do shows, they would raise their arms (cheers) and it would just be like a sea of bushes, everywhere. After a few shows, you get used to it.
DJ: Any Michael Jackson encounters? You know you hear about people stalking him and chasing him down in a mall – did you get that, or is that just a myth that that happens to people?

JORDAN: I had stage fright. Big time.
DJ: Did you toss up the cookies at any time?
JORDAN: Toss up the cookies? No, I never did do that, I might have tossed down a few cookies, or tossed out. . .
DJ2: Was this only in the beginning, did you get over it?
JORDAN: No it usually happens if I don’t do it in a long time, then you do it again, so you’re not used to it, it’s not an everyday thing, but once I started getting into it and did it every day, then it’s just normal.
(Jordan’s brother David calls in)
DJ: We’re gonna put Jordan on hold here and you’re gonna give up all the dirt on him. How many girls were snuck in late at night at your house?
DK: Never, the gate was always locked.
DJ: So did you get Jordan’s scraps?
DK: No, he got my leftovers cause I’m the older one.
DJ: (to Jordan) Where’s Jon?
JORDAN: He’s a real estate mogul right now. He like develops buildings, and sells them.
DJ: So the flower shop rumors aren’t true?
JORDAN: No, no flower shop. He does real estate development.














DJ: Alright, Jordan, truth or dare?
JORDAN: Truth.
DJ: Madonna put a move on you?
JORDAN: I don’t remember.
DJ: Good answer.
-break- ("Like a Prayer" by madonna :-)  














DJ: I’m sorry, I’m just laughing cause I’m thinking of Maurice Starr right now, Jordan.
JORDAN: I’m not sayin’ a word.
DJ: I’ve heard rumors that Maurice Starr runs a pawn shop/tarot card reading business.
JORDAN: I have no idea. I wouldn’t be here if I never met Maurice.
DJ: Good answer.
JORDAN: It’s a true answer!
DJ: After nine we’ll discuss Jordan’s new album, and ladies your fantasies will come true. I’m Mr. Rourke on Fantasy Island!
JORDAN: Who does that make me, Tattoo?
DJ: You’re Tattoo!!












DJ: Okay, I’ve been told that your ex-manager Maurice Starr is listening. Remember Maurice, time cards are due today for valet parkers.
DJ2: You need to stop it, that is awful!
DJ: You know Maurice Starr, he discovered you guys, man.
JORDAN: Yeah
DJ: Did you get along right from the beginning, you and the rest of the guys? You were on the road all the time, were you always in good moods?
JORDAN: We were really like a family where we really loved each other and really hated each other. Towards the end, it was kinda like we all knew that we were going our separate ways, and we were comfortable with that. It ended up really, really good.
DJ: Who was the real cranky one of the group?
JORDAN: Everyone had their cranky moments, my brother, me, everybody.
DJ: You’re not answering these questions. Which one was the real cranky one? Donnie?
JORDAN: Donnie could get cranky from time to time.
DJ2: Now what about the R-word, reunion. Does that ever come up?
JORDAN: It does come up a lot actually.
DJ: I say let’s do it. I’ll be the sixth member, man. I can do the running man.
(DJ gets up and starts singing Step by Step and dancing. Lots of laughter)
JORDAN: He looked like he was on a stair stepper.
DJ: Hey. . .
DJ2: Oh, god, I wish this was TV cause if you coulda seen that nonsense. . .
DJ: Jordan, how long was your longest tour? You guys were like a phenomenon, going place to place?
JORDAN: Yeah we were everywhere for like two years. Singapore, Europe, Asia, Australia (KASEY!!!), South America – we even played Compton! We played a car show in Compton.
DJ: Was that scary?
JORDAN: Yeah it was scary because a lot of people throwing D-size batteries at us.
DJ: I asked because back then was around the riots.
JORDAN: I think this was a little before that.
DJ: Any mile high club stories?
JORDAN: No, but there was an incident, Donnie got in a fight once on a plane.
DJ: Donnie’s gonna kick your ass now for telling that!
JORDAN: Everbody knows! Or, I thought everybody knew. It was all over the news.
(Taking callers)
(A girl calls up who has tons of memorabilia, and claims to have a tablecloth. Jordan didn’t even know they made tablecloths.)
Caller: I have all the old videos and I still watch them! How bad is that?
JORDAN: I gotta get an album out SOON!
DJ: How about a 12-step program?
Caller: No, I don’t have that, but what I wanted to know was you guys had a dog, Nikko that you used to take everywhere. What happened to him?
JORDAN: (long pause) He died.
DJ: Nikko passed.
Caller: Awww, poor Nikko.
DJ: So what’s your fantasy?
JORDAN: Right after that! "What’s your fantasy?!"
(Girl refuses to share fantasy)
(Discussing merchandise)
DJ:  Your moms collected the stuff?
JORDAN: Oh yeah. She’s got it all in her basement.
DJ: Isn’t that embarassing?
JORDAN: No, it’s cool cause I know when I get older I’ll want to look at it.
DJ: When you guys were hot I know you had people outside your houses and stuff. Does that still happen in your new place?
JORDAN: Oh yeah, yeah.
DJ: Really?!?!
DJ2: Your mom’s too?
JORDAN: Yeah. They hang out at the end of the driveway, sometimes come up and bang on the door. Different things, they’re not too bad.
