In fact, he didn't take any questions at all.
Instead, the Makers Conference shuffled around the schedule a little bit (Armstrong was supposed to talk in one of the morning sessions) so that he could interview Sam Gordon, a now 10-year-old football player who made headlines in 2012 when she made 65 tackles and 25 touchdowns while playing against male teams. Her dad posted a highlight reel on YouTube, which went viral.
Although the focus was definitely on Sam - as it should have been, seeing as how this is a conference meant to inspire women - at least one attendee called out the fact that he didn't take any questions:
@AOL chief @TimArmstrong takes no questions at #makers2014 conference. Intvs 10 yr old girl and leaves the stage. #Wow
