EA brought "YouTube Creator" Jesse Wellens onto their stage to introduce Need for Speed: Payback, but the intensity of the live show apparently became too much for him, as he ended up freezing up numerous times during his speech, despite presumably reading from an auto-cue.

It's only when the game's Executive Producer, Marcus Nilsson, came out that the wince-inducing segment was salvaged. It just goes to show, just because you've got 10 million subscribers on YouTube, it doesn't mean you're above a little performance anxiety.

And so, Wellens ensured himself a prime spot on all those annual E3 cringe montages.
