Dude, I can't think of anything that could fine-tune your sense of humor faster than working as a PA on "Crossing Over with John Edward."

Never before has a sentiment been so shat on by its xpost. :(

nabisco, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:22 (seventeen years ago) link

wow thats even worse than my theory that was cynically exploiting her work on the show like you would a ponzi scheme or something

and what, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:22 (seventeen years ago) link

JK: That show, you PA'ed on, according to your IMDb profile, was...

MK: Crossing Over with John Edward!

JK: Right. I don't know if you saw the profile I did of you a while ago...

MK: I did see it. Someone copied the text and sent it to me... It was so nice... I don't think there ever has been a profile done of me... thank you so much!

JK: You're welcome. What I did say in that profile, though, is that the fact that you worked on that program showed right there that you had a good sense of humor.

MK: (laughs) It did. I look back and -- when I was working there, I really believed that his powers were real. I don't remember ever coming to work and thinking that I worked for, like, a charlatan. But since then, I feel like, how would that be possible, and also, why would that show have been cancelled if it was a real thing? I mean I've questioned it since then. But that was a fun experience.


whatevs. everyone needs a lame first job.

He can speak TO the dead, at least.

nabisco, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:23 (seventeen years ago) link

can we decide if this is more or less excusable than tina fey being a republican

and what, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:24 (seventeen years ago) link

why would that show have been cancelled if it was a real thing?

Hahaha how could this not be the world's best joke???

nabisco, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:24 (seventeen years ago) link

dudes, I've been obsessing about Tina Fey being a Republican ever since freaking ILX tried to ruin her for me, and I've decided that it simply cannot be, Kennedy resemblance notwithstanding.

horseshoe, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:25 (seventeen years ago) link

id rather date a funny republican than a funny chick who believed in ghosts

max, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:25 (seventeen years ago) link

actually upon reflection i take that back

max, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:25 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm imagining that Fey and Kaling both delivered their "I'm a Republican!" "I believe in ghosts!" responses with a heavy dose of irony and we're all just missing that in print.

horseshoe, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:27 (seventeen years ago) link

but i guess tina fey is friends with tracy morgan and id rather go out on the weekends with tracy than with the dude who plays jim

then they fought over who gets get to marry me but the interviewers ran out of time & didnt transcribe that part

and what, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:29 (seventeen years ago) link

altho i wouldnt mind hanging out with toby and creed

max, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:31 (seventeen years ago) link

(seriously, I was watching an old episode of SNL the other night and scrutinizing Weekend Update for signs of republicanosity. and I decided that Tina Fey is too feminist to stomach the Republican party. right?)

horseshoe, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:32 (seventeen years ago) link

So the wink after her hybrid-cars speech = for Newt and not for me?

nabisco, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:34 (seventeen years ago) link

and then tina fey gave me a million dollars and mindy kaling got bizzy bone to rejoin bone thugs and make a good album

and what, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:35 (seventeen years ago) link

if mindy actually knew bizzy bone --> mindy by a mile

max, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:36 (seventeen years ago) link

the john edward thing is ok as long as she only believes in the ghost of eazy e from tha crossroads video

and what, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:37 (seventeen years ago) link

id rather go out on the weekends with tracy than with the dude who plays jim

only in theory -- in practice I imagine hanging out with tracy would be exhausting.

kenan, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:38 (seventeen years ago) link

waht she is not a republican. come on.

s1ocki, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:38 (seventeen years ago) link

I know, right? nothing she's ever done/written makes any sense if she's a Republican! I'm thinking interviewers have tin ears.

horseshoe, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:39 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost because who doesn't believe in the ghost of eazy e

max, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:40 (seventeen years ago) link

i think ive moved on to rashida jones anyway

max, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:45 (seventeen years ago) link

I just rewatched the wink to ascertain its valence and have decided that I don't care who it was directed at; Tina Fey can do whatever she wants.

horseshoe, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:47 (seventeen years ago) link

max, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:49 (seventeen years ago) link

that was not a republican wink. it would make no sense if it was. come on people.

s1ocki, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:52 (seventeen years ago) link

I agree, but also my point was, adorable!

horseshoe, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:53 (seventeen years ago) link

That picture makes it look like Quincy had a thing on the side with Evangeline Lilly's mom.

nabisco, Monday, 26 March 2007 18:28 (seventeen years ago) link

no way; Rashida Jones looks so much like Peggy Lipton!

horseshoe, Monday, 26 March 2007 18:29 (seventeen years ago) link

"No seriously, you were totally pregnant and gave birth, you must have just forgotten."

nabisco, Monday, 26 March 2007 18:31 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost no she really does, it's just that picture has a weird Lilly quality. I'm sure it's mostly the tank top!

too young

s1ocki, Monday, 26 March 2007 18:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Tina's wink was to clue the rest of the libs out there that she really does hate America, just like you & me!

Sparkle Motion, Monday, 26 March 2007 18:37 (seventeen years ago) link

"Tina Fey is a republican" is "Oh shit Ciara used to be a man" for ILX dorks. Seriously what have you dumb boys done to this important thread.

A B C, Monday, 26 March 2007 18:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Ciara used to be a man!?!?

nickalicious, Monday, 26 March 2007 18:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Don't worry, apparently she was a woman before that.

nabisco, Monday, 26 March 2007 18:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Let me (hopefully) get this thread back on track by stating a fact I had somehow forgotten about:
GRIZZ WAS IN THE NAVY

Sparkle Motion, Monday, 26 March 2007 18:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Johnny Fever, Monday, 26 March 2007 19:02 (seventeen years ago) link

the E! website is doing a "save our show" poll to decide what show to campaign for its network to not cancel:

No idea how much a difference it makes (apparently they helped save One Tree Hill last year? ugh), but I went ahead and voted for 30 Rock anyway (after briefly deliberating as to whether I wanted to throw my vote at How I Met Your Mother or Veronica Mars instead).

and what, Thursday, 29 March 2007 19:12 (seventeen years ago) link

# The Class -Servicable Friends-like sitcom on CBS
# Friday Night Lights -TV version of the movie
# Supernatural -dude from Smallville and Days of Our Lives and Dean from Gilmore Girls (Rory's 1st boff) drive around in an '67 Chevy and be angsty and fight ghosts and shit

C. Grisso/McCain, Thursday, 29 March 2007 19:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Friday Night Lights is based on the book/movie of that same title.

Jericho is about a post-nuclear holocaust American town I think.

nickalicious, Thursday, 29 March 2007 19:16 (seventeen years ago) link

# Crossing Jordan -Morgue worker Jill Hennssey solves crimes with Miguel Ferrer and Jerry O'Connell. Notable for being a crime science drama that predates CSI, Bones, and the like.

C. Grisso/McCain, Thursday, 29 March 2007 19:21 (seventeen years ago) link

# One Tree Hill -a youth drama that's like Dawson's Creek and The OC, only not as good.

C. Grisso/McCain, Thursday, 29 March 2007 19:22 (seventeen years ago) link

youll notice crossing jordan was not on my wtf list :-[

and what, Thursday, 29 March 2007 19:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Miguel Ferrer is on CJ? I love him! I might give it a watch.

nickalicious, Thursday, 29 March 2007 19:36 (seventeen years ago) link

The Class turned into a decent show after they hit the reset button about mid-season and got rid of everything/everyone that was weighing it down. I hope it comes back.

NBC keeps saying the Friday Night Lights and 30 Rock are safe from the axe, and I hope so. I love them both.

Crossing Jordan is pretty much a disaster of a show. I can't believe it's lasted so long.
