I've had the pleasure of working with the staff of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. They are all wonderfully down to earth people.
Also I've met more than a few actors and actresses and I met New York Jets' QB Chad Pennington's mom when I was working at a bookstore. She came in and bought every Jets calendar we had because Chad was on the cover.
Take care all.
You've met Stephen Colbert, Captain?
More than a few times actually. He's a HUGE LOTR's buff and enjoys a good green tea. He's also absolutely laugh out loud funny and geniunely nice to all his employees, as is Mr. Stewart.
Take care all.
That's awesome.Originally Posted by The Captain
I know a guy who does stage work for TBS, and he was once on WWF or whatever as the Doctor. So he's not really famous, but it's still pretty cool.
And, uh...I saw the guy who invented Segways at a robotics event in Atlanta. He drove right by me on his Segway.
Yeah, I really like when he presents his geekiness side on the show and he seems pretty proud of it. He seems like a really down to earth guy from what I saw of his 60 Minutes interview too.
Oh man. I'm so jealous of you!
I've met a bunch of celebrities. I met a good chunk of the LotR cast at various premieres and book signings. That was great.
He's also among the most brave comedians I've ever met:
Consider, a good deal of his show consists of him essentially saying the most outlandish 'conservative' things, to a, let's face it, extremely liberal audience. All tongue in cheek of course, but he manages to be deadpan so often.
And of course, the Correspondent's dinner where he tore apart the Bush Administration with the President three seats away! Few if any comics would actually make jokes about the President to his face, but Stephen went for it big time.
He's also really proud of his Tek Jansen Adventures comics.
Take care all.
