Announced in a (fairly informal) recent social media post, Jack Black and fellow Tenacious D band member Kyle Gass revealed their choice for the second annual “Tenacious D MVP Award.”
“It’s that time again. Time to announce the winner of the Tenacious D MVP Award. And this year, the most ‘Tenacious D-efender’ in the NBA is Jrue Holiday,” said Black with characteristic gusto.
