BruteSquad_BRODY Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 2 local DJs were discussing this today and compared it to Kaufman on Letterman w/ "King" Kong Bundy I emailed them and corrected them on air
daileyxplanet Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 How could they get that wrong, haven't they ever heard of Man on the Moon?
Scroby Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 Better yet, how can that be compared to what Kaufman and Lawler did?
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 It reminded me more of the infamous Crispin Glover visits, except not as awesome.
daileyxplanet Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 It being a work is the only connection I see.
Mik Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 I think this whole thing is brilliant on Phoenix's part. I mean, he's totally believable as someone doped out of their mind and when I first saw the rap clips about a month ago my initial reaction was, "Oh man, this fucker is going to die." And now it's all an act? If that's true... amazing.
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 It reminded me more of the infamous Crispin Glover visits, except not as awesome. That's what I've been thinking.
CBright7831 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 How hilarious would it be if this was not an act at all?
Aero Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 I called the TBS Hotline. Mighty funny was the answer.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 I'm just going to post the 2/11 Letterman video: Letterman 2/11/09 This along with all the recent quitting acting in pursuit of Hip Hop is either making him a modern day Andy Kaufman or Joaquin has really lost his mind. Thoughts? So is Vince going to hire him to face Mike Knox at WM in a battle of the beards?
bob_barron Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 It's a work. Also, Jimmy was never the "guy" on SNL after Ferrell left. He mostly stuck to Update, had some impressions and the terrible skit with Horatio. Jimmy's really talented, but the shit with Horatio really overshadowed what he has to offer.
King Kamala Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 Really? He was always the guy I identified as the face of the SNL of my adolescence. I guess it was more of an ensemble though. SNL from the time Ferrell left till '05-'06 was easily my least favorite era of the show. But yeah to get back on topic- uh yeah, Joaquin is working us. I'm curious as to how long it'll last though. I guess until the documentary comes out.
Beto Chavez Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 This is an all elaborate publicity stunt by Joaquin. I just wish he would get over with already and come back to acting.

I guess until the documentary comes out. I always thought Ferrell leaving was overhyped, as people had declared they were going to hate it before the season began. The Sarah Michelle Gellar show plays to near silence, but I thought a lot of the skits were hilarious. It did have that bad run, from end of 02 to early 03, but the last half of the season is very strong. Darrell in particular came through bigtime in 02-03. 02-04 is fine, but the show slipped badly in 04-05. Tina and Amy on Update was just wrong on so many levels.
