Today was a weird day
It just was. I filmed a pilot for a show about people obsessed with movies which is cool, except I’m obsessed with TV and so I kept making TV references when talking about movie actors. Some of my best, and by that I mean some of my worst were reminding everyone that George Clooney played George the handyman on Facts of Life and that Jason Bateman got his start on It’s Your Move. The mindf*ck of the whole thing was that they told me there would be hair and makeup but there was just makeup so I went into the bathroom and attempted to do my hair myself using techniques I’ve seen them use and I managed to come out with it looking exactly the same if it’s possible to both look exactly the same and yet somehow a little worse.
Then tonight I did Red Eye which is always fun except I feel like I may have wasted a lot of time leading up to a joke that sure sounded funnier in my head than out loud. And for the record, I don’t really have body parts in petrie dishes that I keep in my apartment and even if I did, they wouldn’t be the first thing I’d grab in a fire. At the end I did a little skit thing though, so that was fun. Or maybe it was more a “bit”? Now I have to go to sleep so I can wake up in a few hours.

This one's like the one below, only with the tease at the beginning
It sounded less tawdry in my head, I swear!
The segment formerly knows as "bawdy language"
Here I am talking about how I play sports on Red Eye

So I promised…
to blog about every TV appearance but clearly that isn’t going to be happening. I will say that despite doing the Saturday show for about two and a half years now, just pre-taping a couple weeks left me out of practice getting up at the crack of dawn and this morning’s frequent checking of all the alarms was extra nerve-wracked. But there’s something nice about arriving at 30 Rock when no one is there, and were I given the choice to do the segment at a later hour of course I’d take it but I think I’d kind of miss the way the building feels before it comes to life.
