Who got angry at Space Ghost and had to leave?

Some years ago, I remember reading a description of (and maybe watching?) an episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast in which one of the featured guests wasn't in on the joke, got angry, and stormed off halfway through the "interview". Who was this angry celebrity? I've looked through this episode guide, but see nothing that matches with what I remember. Thanks!

I had always assumed that the interviews were pieced together from other (more legit) interviews, kind of like the Weird Al ones. Not that I've seen a LOT of episodes of space ghost but I don't remember what you're speaking of.

I think it was Danny Bonaduce from Episode 15: Fire Drill

Best answer: Could it be this trivial about Paul Westerberg? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0706068/trivia?tr0693811

For the record, Space Ghost interviews were (heavily edited interpretations of) original recordings. The "celebrity" would be ushered into a room at a CNN studio (Cartoon Network was and is a Turner property,) where the questions would be read by an intern in a Space Ghost costume who they were instructed to address as Space Ghost. Ask Ambrosia Voyeur, she knows all about it.
