Dr Dunk- The Jason Segel Thread

[The Horrible Brian]

That's some nice stalking Natalie. You've put the rest of us to shame. As usual.

Who saw little Jason on Alias Thursday night?

Nummy!

Woah, this guy is really getting around now! And we though he was all down in the dumps because Linda had herself a tall new man (refer to Mike's dero picture joke of a few pages back). Looks like he's having the last laugh now ho ho ho.

Jason was playing a lab tech on CSI (normal CSI, the one in Las Vegas, duh) the other day. He was quite funny.

Thank you Felicity for drawing my attention to this detail.

And, I just found out that as per Jake Gyllenhaal's biography on IMDB that they, Jake and Jason, attended high school together.

Plus, totally unrelated (okay, not totally found out about through Jake's IMDB page) but David Fincher is making a film about the Zodiac killings. I remember reading such books about the killings when I was in primary school.

How totally not interesting, goodbye.

Ahhh, yes. I saw him on TV not long ago but I didn't know what I was watching. I kept meaning to post it...but for some reason I always forgot. Hmmmmm...

[Ferrero]

Ah don't worry, Ech, it happens to the best of us. ;D

Ooh sounds fun! *Struggles to remember which nutcase(s) was responsible for the Zodiac killings and why...*

How I Met Your Mother was recently featured at the Museum of Television and Radio's William S. Paley Festival.

Here are some bits from Jason including references to Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared.

Moderator Joseph Adalian noted that Segal was a veteran of two critically acclaimed shows that suffered from low ratings, Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared. Asked if he was again afraid he'd be, "Stuck in a great show that nobody watched," Segal said, "I was very lucky to get hooked up with a real genius like [Freaks and Geeks/Undeclared creator] Judd Apatow right from the start. So I would read comedies and think that they wouldn't live up to the things I'd worked on before. And I read this and I loved it. I felt like Marshall was written for me in a way." Segal then noted that he had to initially turn down Mother because of a commitment he had to another show. "I was really disappointed, because something in my gut told me this was what I was supposed to do," he recalled. "And so the three of us [Bays, Thomas, Segal] had a little private conversation, which I haven't said till this moment… It was, 'Well look, we know that you're testing for the show tomorrow. And if that test doesn't go so well… we'll be here waiting for you!' And so, funny enough… the test didn't go well!"

"I literally went in the next day, and I read with the lovely Alyson Hannigan," continued Segal. "And I think we really hit it off in the room. We got messed up during one of the scenes." "Aw, he's being nice. I messed up," interjected Hannigan. Smiling, Segal waved off Hannigan, saying "Ahhh, whatever! But as soon as it got off script, it was just as funny that we were kind of riffing off each other. And I knew it was going great and that we could act together for a long time. And that afternoon I got the call that I got the show and I was thrilled. And I had a hunch that this one was gonna be more received then the others, because it wasn't nearly as sad! The others were so sad. This one was hopeful!"

Bays and Thomas were asked if they were considering adding any other regulars to the cast, causing Hannigan to jokingly whisper, "Alexis Denisof," the name of her husband. A fellow alum of Buffy and Angel, Denisof recently filmed a couple of guest appearances on How I Met Your Mother. Bays said they like building a strong supporting cast and could see Denisof returning. Hannigan joked that at first it seemed like all of Segal's previous costars were appearing and not hers and that she was telling the producers, "Oh, so you're big Buffy fans, but you've got like every Freak and Geek!" Thomas replied, "We finally caved; not that we're caving because we love Buffy so much. But we had her husband on, and that shut her up! And we've got Amy Acker from Angel coming up." "We're stealing all the Joss Whedon cast," added Bays. "There was a moment when we were shooting the finale when it was Amy, Alexis and Alyson and Nicholas Brendon just showed up to hang out. It was like everyone from every Joss Whedon show."

It's so cute, and not at all creepy, that you still care about Jason Segel.

[Splash]

In every photo he's obviously perving on one of the girls. Natalie must be so jealous.

[Mike]

i think he is even copping a feel in the 2nd photo.

[Natalie]

Hey I'm not jealous (well not really).

He deserves someone but they must be better than Linda. Someone needs to teach her a lesson. How could you not love that baby face!

[Ferrero]

So when do we get to see this How I met your mother show anyway? Anyone know?

As Jason Segal fans, are we supposed to sit through Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which he wrote and stars in? On a purely conceptual level (whoa man, heavy) it looks awful. Though it does co-star the deliciously yummy Kristen Bell... The conflict!

I don't see the conflict at all. Who wouldn't want to see this movie? I can't wait. Then we just have Pineapple Express and Zack And Miri Make A Porno to look forward to.
