This is pretty crazy, he was supposed to talk about filmmaking for Samsung but when the teleprompter screwed up he just shut down:

Now I'm no Michael Bay, but if you walked up to me at just about any point in time and said 'hey, can you run up on stage and talk about filmmaking and this cool new television for a few minutes" I'm pretty sure I could wing it pretty well. It just seems strange to me that he would even take a gig like this if he's that nervous about public speaking.
I wonder who'll get the blame? I do a lot of event work, and teleprompter failures/errors aren't that uncommon, but I've never seen one lead to something like this.
