A conversation with...
By Scott Venci Assistant Editor Henry Nasiff is an ordinary dwarf most of the time. When he’s at his home in Fall River, Massachusetts, his mom and dad treat him like any other son. When Nasiff hops on a bus to New York City, however, where he appears as a regular guest on the Howard Stern show, he is transformed into a huge celebrity, known to the world as “Hank The Angry Drunken Dwarf.”
Nasiff is famous for his drinking habit, which consists of drinking in the morning, afternoon, and night. The 4-foot dwarf is able to drink more then a 6-foot man, and has shown the ability to pass a sobriety test despite being noticeably drunk. Nasiff has caused some minor problems because of his drinking, including the time he went to the bathroom on a church altar, mistaking it for a urinal. He’s also prone to passing out in his bathroom at home, where his mother eventually wakes him up in the morning. Hank kindly stumbled through some questions for the Columbia Chronicle. Q: Are you a sports fan at all, or does drinking not allow you to watch many games? A: I like sports. The only game I’ve ever been to is a Miami Dolphins-San Francisco 49er exhibition game in San Francisco a couple of years ago. Q: How did you first get on the Howard Stern show? A: I showed up drunk at the studio one day. The producer of the show told Howard about me and they let me come up. They started calling me the Angry Drunken Dwarf and kept letting me come back. Q: Are you actually drunk when you’re on the show? A: Yes. I start drinking before I go on the show, and by that time I’m drunk. I’m always drunk though. Q: How do you drink so much and not die? A: I started drinking when I was a little kid. I’ve got a good tolerance level for it. I’m able to drink more then somebody who is much bigger then me, because I have been drinking for so long. Q: Do you have a drinking problem? A: No. I don’t have to drink if I don’t want to. I’ve gone 2 weeks sometimes without having a drink, even though I had money. Q: Would you please say the line that has made you famous? A: Go have sex with your mutha! Back to top | Home Webmaster: Sal J.
