So...

[trinityofone]

...if you could ask Jason Segel anything, what would it be?

*tricks flist into doing her job for her*

(Although, okay, this is really not my fault. This interview was assigned to someone else, then cancelled, then assigned again to someone else, then moved forward to after when I was going to be gone...and suddenly it's mine, first thing tomorrow morning. I don't need this added stress!)

I don't know who he is, but I know one thing you could ask... ;)

(Sorry, that's probably BAD AND WRONG of me. :>)

He's one of the stars of Freaks and Geeks and How I Met Your Mother. AND I AM NOT PROPOSITIONING HIM, OMG.

But, you know, if he were interested...

"So, are the rumors true!"

This is the obvious interview question. :>

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh. I did not know this. This is why I am a poor reporter. *sad*

You always ask that. Keeps 'em on their toes!

You could always default to the James Lipton questions...?

What's your favorite curse word? Do you like...bread?

"Do you make passes at girls who wear glasses?"

"And by the way, I wear glasses. Wink wink, nudge nudge."

The Bandit is a huge fan, and he says:

"Where did you learn your SWEET dance moves? Especially old reliable?"

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Heh. I shall try!

(For the record, I do really like Jason Segel. I just don't like having to do a rush job on anything!)

You could ask him something about his singing talents (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhXsJjVdj1E)?

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

OH. MY. GOD.

Hee. I was totally coming to post that too. It's one of my no-fail cheer up methods.

You could ask if he ever feels like a GIANT on set, because he works with tiny people!

Also, if you can, TOTALLY get him to sing.

You could ask him about working with Judd Apatow. Apatow had been the producer on Freeks & Geeks, and now is the producer of Jason's new movie, so there must be something there to talk about.

Jason had been a good basketball player in school, so you could find something there. Does he still play, or did he get burnt out, that sort of thing. Who his fave b-ball player is and why. Any famous b-ball players he'd love to meet.

His bio implies that he may have some strong musical interests - he plays piano, has written songs, and appeared in SLC Punk, a major cult film. There could be something there.

I'd ask him if he's been able to get "Let's Go to the Mall" to stop running through his head at any point since filming "Slap Bet."

The damn thing's so catchy/earworm-y that I'm tempted to hop on the Small World ride with my iPod when I'm in Florida in a few weeks and let it duke it out with the song from hell.

Dude, totally off-topic from this post, have you seen what Dan Savage said about 300 in his last column? I cracked up laughing and immediately thought that you would love it.

With nothing but time on my hands this week, I slipped out of the office and went to the movies. Have you seen 300 yet? It's about a handful of lightly armed ancient Greeks—the Spartans—who take on the mighty and massive Persian army. Some feel the film is homophobic; some feel it's a conservative, pro-war piece of agitprop. Homophobic? It's Ann Coulter on a meth binge. The Persian army is an armed gay-pride parade, a threat to all things decent and, er, Greek. The king of the Spartans—among the most notorious boy-fuckers in all of ancient history—dismisses Athenian Greeks as weak-willed "philosophers and boy-lovers." The Persian emperor? An eight-foot-tall black drag queen—mascara, painted-on eyebrows, pink lip gloss. Emperor RuPaul is positively obsessed with men kneeling in front of him. Why gay up the Persians? So that straight boys in the theater can identify with the Spartan king and his 300 soldiers—all of whom appear to have been recruited from and outfitted by the International Male catalog. What isn't up for debate is the film's politics. The only times the Persian army doesn't look like a gay-pride parade in hell, it looks like a crowd of madly chanting Islamic militants. And if the Spartan king has to break the Spartan law to defend Spartan freedoms? Well, sometimes a king's gotta do what a king's gotta do. Because, as the queen of Sparta points out, freedom isn't free. And, yes, she uses exactly those words. George Bush is going to blow a load in his pants when he sees this movie.
