(2335,2,'2010-10-15 12:18:18','2010-10-15 19:18:18','When you got Vegas, you encounter a lot of different characters. There\'s the stereotypical loud types, super drunk types, drop dead gorgeous types and so on, but there\'s also a bunch of other characters that you\'ll meet in Sin City. Here\'s 21 random people you\'ll see in Vegas:\r\n\r\n<strong>The Old Asian Dude Who Knows Dice Control and Can Win You Bank at the Craps Table</strong>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2322\" title=\"craps-2\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/craps-21.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"306\" height=\"230\" />\r\nIf you like craps, find the table with the four-foot Asian dude with the glasses and the slouch. If you see him setting the dice as he picks ‘em up, camp out at that table and just enjoy your winnings. When he leaves, you need to leave too.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aggressive Mechanical Wheelchair Guy</strong>\r\nDude, I’m trying to get out of your way but you need to slow down on those turns, buddy. I know you got a disability and all, but that doesn’t give you the right to mow people down with your high-speed bulldozer-chair.\r\n\r\n<strong>The Chick with the Bad Boob Job</strong>\r\nWait a minute, there’s something wrong with those basketballs bolted on your chest. They might look good from afar, but when you get too close, the cross-eyed nipples start staring at you in opposite directions. Big boobs look great and all, but those south-by-northeast nips just ain’t right.\r\n\r\n<strong>The Explosive Shitter in the Bathroom</strong>\r\nI don’t know if it’s the beer-shits or the buffet-shits or some killer combo of the two, but you can’t visit a casino bathroom without hearing some sort of crazy asstastrophe going on. Dude, can I get a courtesy flush on that butt-shrapnel?\r\n\r\n<strong>The Girl Who’s Just Not Hot Enough</strong>\r\nVegas makes you horny. Maybe it’s the booze or the pros or all the titties on display, but when you’re in Vegas, you start to think that anyone’s shaggable. Well, almost everyone. There’s always that girl who’s just not hot enough. Maybe she’s got a poor face-to-body or body-to-face grade. Maybe’s she’s just a little too chunky or too crazy. Whatever it is, you’ll always find a chick on the bubble who just misses the cutoff, even when you’re blasted and seeing double.\r\n\r\n<strong>The Old Local Lifer with the WTF Haircut</strong>\r\nOh man, Vegas locals are a trip. They got their funny t-shirts and physical deformities (like a neck barnacle or an extra back or some shit). A lot of these have the most ridiculous haircuts you’ve ever see. Like the lady with the 5-2 step-mullet-fade that’s half highlighted and half spikey.\r\n\r\n<strong>Pornstar Asian Chicks</strong>\r\nWait a minute, that blond haired, blue-eyed shorty with the super stacked package isn’t a white girl? Nope, she’s one of those pornstar Asian chick. These down-to-get-down Tila Tequilla-types never travel alone. There’s always at least seven or eight of ‘em. You’ll know their coming when you hear the click-clack-shuffle of hey heels being dragged on floor at the Venetian.\r\n\r\n<strong>The Pool Prowler</strong>\r\nYoung kids who go to Vegas don’t even have a gambling agenda. They just want to live the Jersey Shore dream with a $1500 poolside cabana complete with vodka bottle service and your favorite mixer. Tanned dudes flex their six-backs and big-breasted 90-pound birds showcase more T&amp;A than you’ll see at most strip clubs that serve booze. In this environment, you’ll always find that Creepy McCreepster guy who’s too old and filthy-looking to be hanging around the pool. He’s probably not even lookin’ for action. He’s just categorizing images for his spank bank and hoping to see a nipple slip when some blondie’s using a towel to remove wetness from her pink string bikini.\r\n\r\n<strong>The Dude Who Just Got Out of Jail and Needs Money</strong>\r\nIf some shady white dude with neck tats tries to chat you up at the slots, don’t engage. The dude just got out of jail and he needs money to get back home. He was put in jail because of a long story involving his girlfriend, a crowbar and peanut butter. Don’t offer him a ride and don’t give him any money.\r\n\r\n<strong>Raider Fans</strong>\r\nRaider fans are everywhere, especially in Vegas. Raider fans have the dumbest football IQ of any fan group. These guys yell stupid shit at the Sportsbook to cheer their team on even when the Raiders aren’t playing. They always think the Raiders are going to win, and a couple times each year, they’re right.\r\n\r\n<strong>Fat Chicks Who Travel in Packs</strong>\r\nWith all the amazing tail on display in Vegas, chubby girls have it rough. They need to stick together. When was the last time you saw one fat girl by herself in a casino? It doesn’t happen. Large girls know they need to travel in packs to minimize their maximum exposure.\r\n\r\n<strong>The Bald Guy with the Fanny Pack</strong>\r\nLook man, I know you’re on vacation and I know you have a ton of shit to carry, but the tucked-in t-shit and shorts with a fanny pack and comfortable running shoes just sends out a rob me signal to the entire world. Man up, put some pants on, store stuff in your pockets and tell your nagging wife to shut the hell up.\r\n\r\n<strong>Drunken Business Bros</strong>\r\nWe’re at a conference bro! I’m gonna get so wasted that I may even untuck my shirt at 3am. No promises though. Let’s high-five and yell whenever we double down or split 8s at the blackjack table. I can’t believe you didn’t hook up with Kimberly from marketing, bro. She was so into you!\r\n\r\n<strong>Three Greasy Hipster Dudes with One Grimy Skinny Chick </strong>\r\nHipsters travel in disproportionate girl-to-guy ratios. Typically you’ll see three flanneled ironic-facial haired PBR drinkers to every one bright-plastic-eyeglass-wearing pale and depressed looking skinny gal with satirical high tops and a haircut from the future. I don’t why this is.\r\n\r\n<strong>Old Oxygen Tank Guy</strong>\r\nLook, I’m no doctor, but if you’re wheeling around an oxygen tank in a smoke filled slot pit, maybe you need to find another spot to spend your Tuesday afternoons. I know they pump extra oxygen in the casino, but that’s gotta be offset by the cancer cave-like conditions near the Wheel of Fortune games.\r\n\r\n<strong>Prostitutes?</strong>\r\nWait is this smoking hot broad laughing at my jokes because it’s 5am and we’re the only two people left at the bar? Or is my bankroll about to take an unsuspecting hit from a professional lady of the night? It’s really hard to tell sometimes. Girls in Vegas like to go extra slutty with it. If you’re unsure whether or not the hot chick you hit it off with is a pro, don’t ask her. That’s just bad form. If for some reason she’s not, you’re gonna blow it. Concoct a story of lost wealth so she knows you got nothing left to spend for the evening. If she is a professional, she’ll move on.\r\n\r\n<strong>The Dapper Old Dude with Cut Up Plastic Jailbait</strong>\r\nNothing’s creeper than seeing some slick old-timer with huge shades, a fitted burgundy suit and gold chains walking around with a 17-year old brunette who just got done with her 17th augmentation surgery.\r\n\r\n<strong>The Cheapskate</strong>\r\nYou know, the guy who camps out at the buffet so he can catch the breakfast and the lunch rotation. Or the guy who lingers around the slots to get a free drink and then doesn’t tip the waitress. In Vegas, cheap bastards are everywhere. You can spot them by their shifty eyes and willingness to fake gamble for long periods of time just to score a bud light.\r\n\r\n<strong>Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties</strong>\r\nThere’s nothing funnier than a large group of horny bachelor party dudes who can’t get into a club ‘cause there’s not one chick among them. Well that’s not true. Seeing a wild back of bachelorette party girls who are walking around with hungry eyes and dildos and goofy matching t-shirts is also pretty entertaining.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wedding Party Girls Looking for Action</strong>\r\nNothing’s more romantic than getting married in Vegas. It’s every girl’s dream, really. Well, maybe not every girl, but girls who are around other girls who just got married want to get down something fierce. That’s a fact. If you see a pack of casino skirts who look like they’re going to church, you know what to do.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sad Children</strong>\r\nVegas is so much fun for adults. Things get tricky when you bring the kids, though. Sure there are responsible parents who just love spending family time together watching those outrageous blue man guys do their outrageous blue man thing, but most of the time, if you see kids at a casino in Vegas, they look sad as hell. There’s only so much TV you can watch when mom and dad are burning through your college tuition during a 13-hour slot bender. Don’t park junior at the buffet. Leave the kids at home.','21 Random People You See in Vegas','','inherit','open','open','','2305-revision-4','','','2010-10-15 12:18:18','2010-10-15 19:18:18','',2305,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2305-revision-4/',0,'revision','',0),(2336,2,'2010-10-15 12:19:03','2010-10-15 19:19:03','When you got Vegas, you encounter a lot of different characters.

Here\'s 21 random people you\'ll see in Vegas:\r\n<h2><strong>The Old Asian Dude Who Knows Dice Control and Can Win You Bank at the Craps Table</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2322\" title=\"craps-2\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/craps-21.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"306\" height=\"230\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nIf you like craps, find the table with the four-foot Asian dude with the glasses and the slouch.

They might look good from afar, but when you get too close, the cross-eyed nipples start staring at you in opposite directions. Big boobs look great and all, but those south-by-northeast nips just ain’t right.\r\n<h2><strong>The Explosive Shitter in the Bathroom</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2332\" title=\"bathroom\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/bathroom.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nI don’t know if it’s the beer-shits or the buffet-shits or some killer combo of the two, but you can’t visit a casino bathroom without hearing some sort of crazy asstastrophe going on.

Maybe it’s the booze or the pros or all the titties on display, but when you’re in Vegas, you start to think that anyone’s shaggable. Well, almost everyone. There’s always that girl who’s just not hot enough. Maybe she’s got a poor face-to-body or body-to-face grade. Maybe’s she’s just a little too chunky or too crazy. Whatever it is, you’ll always find a chick on the bubble who just misses the cutoff, even when you’re blasted and seeing double.\r\n<h2><strong>The Old Local Lifer with the WTF Haircut</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2326\" title=\"mullet\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/mullet.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nOh man, Vegas locals are a trip. They got their funny t-shirts and physical deformities (like a neck barnacle or an extra back or some shit). A lot of these have the most ridiculous haircuts you’ve ever see. Like the lady with the 5-2 step-mullet-fade that’s half highlighted and half spikey.\r\n<h2><strong>Pornstar Asian Chicks</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2325\" title=\"pornstar asians\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/pornstar-asians.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nWait a minute, that blond haired, blue-eyed shorty with the super stacked package isn’t a white girl? Nope, she’s one of those pornstar Asian chick. These down-to-get-down Tila Tequilla-types never travel alone. There’s always at least seven or eight of ‘em.

They just want to live the Jersey Shore dream with a $1500 poolside cabana complete with vodka bottle service and your favorite mixer. Tanned dudes flex their six-backs and big-breasted 90-pound birds showcase more T&amp;A than you’ll see at most strip clubs that serve booze. In this environment, you’ll always find that Creepy McCreepster guy who’s too old and filthy-looking to be hanging around the pool. He’s probably not even lookin’ for action.

Don’t offer him a ride and don’t give him any money.\r\n<h2><strong>Raider Fans</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2324\" title=\"raider fans\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/raider-fans.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nRaider fans are everywhere, especially in Vegas. Raider fans have the dumbest football IQ of any fan group. These guys yell stupid shit at the Sportsbook to cheer their team on even when the Raiders aren’t playing. They always think the Raiders are going to win, and a couple times each year, they’re right.\r\n<h2><strong>Fat Chicks Who Travel in Packs</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2318\" title=\"fat-girls-in-bikinis\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/fat-girls-in-bikinis.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"288\" />\r\n\r\nWith all the amazing tail on display in Vegas, chubby girls have it rough. They need to stick together. When was the last time you saw one fat girl by herself in a casino? It doesn’t happen. Large girls know they need to travel in packs to minimize their maximum exposure.\r\n<h2><strong>The Bald Guy with the Fanny Pack</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2330\" title=\"fanny_pack\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/fanny_pack.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nLook man, I know you’re on vacation and I know you have a ton of shit to carry, but the tucked-in t-shit and shorts with a fanny pack and comfortable running shoes just sends out a rob me signal to the entire world.

Or is my bankroll about to take an unsuspecting hit from a professional lady of the night? It’s really hard to tell sometimes. Girls in Vegas like to go extra slutty with it. If you’re unsure whether or not the hot chick you hit it off with is a pro, don’t ask her. That’s just bad form. If for some reason she’s not, you’re gonna blow it.

Concoct a story of lost wealth so she knows you got nothing left to spend for the evening. If she is a professional, she’ll move on.\r\n<h2><strong>The Dapper Old Dude with Cut Up Plastic Jailbait</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2328\" title=\"hoff-2\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/hoff-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nNothing’s creeper than seeing some slick old-timer with huge shades, a fitted burgundy suit and gold chains walking around with a 17-year old brunette who just got done with her 17th augmentation surgery.\r\n<h2><strong>Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2316\" title=\"bachelorette-party\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/bachelorette-party.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nThere’s nothing funnier than a large group of horny bachelor party dudes who can’t get into a club ‘cause there’s not one chick among them.

They might look good from afar, but when you get too close, the cross-eyed nipples start staring at you in opposite directions. Big boobs look great and all, but those south-by-northeast nips just ain’t right.\r\n<h2><strong>The Explosive Shitter in the Bathroom</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2332\" title=\"bathroom\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/bathroom.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nI don’t know if it’s the beer-shits or the buffet-shits or some killer combo of the two, but you can’t visit a casino bathroom without hearing some sort of crazy asstastrophe going on.

Maybe it’s the booze or the pros or all the titties on display, but when you’re in Vegas, you start to think that anyone’s shaggable. Well, almost everyone. There’s always that girl who’s just not hot enough. Maybe she’s got a poor face-to-body or body-to-face grade. Maybe’s she’s just a little too chunky or too crazy. Whatever it is, you’ll always find a chick on the bubble who just misses the cutoff, even when you’re blasted and seeing double.\r\n<h2><strong>The Old Local Lifer with the WTF Haircut</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2326\" title=\"mullet\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/mullet.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nOh man, Vegas locals are a trip.

They just want to live the Jersey Shore dream with a $1500 poolside cabana complete with vodka bottle service and your favorite mixer. Tanned dudes flex their six-backs and big-breasted 90-pound birds showcase more T&amp;A than you’ll see at most strip clubs that serve booze. In this environment, you’ll always find that Creepy McCreepster guy who’s too old and filthy-looking to be hanging around the pool. He’s probably not even lookin’ for action. He’s just categorizing images for his spank bank and hoping to see a nipple slip when some blondie’s using a towel to remove wetness from her pink string bikini.\r\n<h2><strong>The Dude Who Just Got Out of Jail and Needs Money</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2329\" title=\"neck tat\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/neck-tat.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" />\r\n\r\nIf some shady white dude with neck tats tries to chat you up at the slots, don’t engage.

They might look good from afar, but when you get too close, the cross-eyed nipples start staring at you in opposite directions.

Tanned  dudes flex their six-backs and big-breasted 90-pound birds showcase more  T&amp;A than you’ll see at strip clubs that serve booze. In this  environment, you’ll always find that Creepy McCreepster guy who’s too  old and filthy-looking to be hanging around the pool. He’s probably not  even lookin’ for action. He’s just categorizing images for his spank  bank and hoping to see a nipple slip when some blondie’s using a towel  to remove wetness from her pink string bikini.\r\n<h2><strong>The Bald Guy with the Fanny Pack</strong></h2>\r\n<img title=\"fanny_pack\" src=\"../wp-content/uploads/2010/10/fanny_pack.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nLook man, I know you’re on vacation and I know you have a ton of shit  to carry, but the tucked-in t-shit and shorts with a fanny pack and  comfortable running shoes just sends out a rob me signal to the entire  world.

If you’re unsure whether or not the hot chick you hit it off with is a pro, don’t ask her. That’s just bad form. If for some reason she’s not, you’re gonna blow it.

Or is my bankroll about to take a surprise hit from a professional lady of the night? It’s really hard to tell sometimes. Girls in Vegas like to go extra slutty with it. If you’re unsure whether or not the hot chick you hit it off with is a pro, don’t ask her. That’s just bad form. If for some reason she’s not, you’re gonna blow it. Concoct a story of lost wealth so she knows you got nothing left to spend for the evening. If she is a professional, she’ll move on.\r\n<h2><strong>The Dapper Old Dude with Cut Up Plastic Jailbait</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2328\" title=\"hoff-2\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/hoff-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nNothing’s creeper than seeing some slick old-timer with huge shades, a fitted burgundy suit and gold chains walking around with a 17-year old brunette who just got done with her 17th augmentation surgery.\r\n<h2><strong>Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2316\" title=\"bachelorette-party\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/bachelorette-party.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nThere’s nothing funnier than a large group of horny bachelor party dudes who can’t get into a club ‘cause there’s not one chick among them. Well, that’s not true. Seeing a wild back of bachelorette party girls who are walking around with hungry eyes and dildos and goofy matching t-shirts is also pretty entertaining.\r\n<h2><strong>The Cheapskate</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2315\" title=\"Cheapskate\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Cheapskate.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nYou know, the guy who camps out at the buffet so he can catch the  breakfast and the lunch rotation. Or the guy who lingers around the  slots to get a free drink and then doesn’t tip the waitress. In Vegas,  cheap bastards are everywhere. You can spot them by their shifty eyes  and willingness to fake gamble for long periods of time just to score a  Bud Light.\r\n<h2><strong>Wedding Party Girls Looking for Action</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2323\" title=\"Bridesmaids\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Bridesmaids.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nNothing’s more romantic than getting married in Vegas. It’s every girl’s dream, really. Well, maybe not every girl, but girls who are around other girls who just got married want to get down something fierce. That’s a fact. If you see a pack of casino skirts who look like they’re going to church, you know what to do.\r\n<h2><strong>Sad Children</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2317\" title=\"sad-kid\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sad-kid.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"301\" height=\"305\" />\r\n\r\nVegas is so much fun for adults. Things get tricky when you bring the kids, though. Sure there are responsible parents who just love spending family time together watching those outrageous blue man guys do their outrageous blue man thing, but most of the time, if you see kids at a casino in Vegas, they look sad as hell. There’s only so much TV you can watch when mom and dad are burning through your college tuition during a 13-hour slot bender. Don’t park junior at the buffet. Leave the kids at home.','21 Random People You\'ll See in Vegas','','inherit','open','open','','2305-revision-11','','','2010-10-15 12:45:18','2010-10-15 19:45:18','',2305,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2305-revision-11/',0,'revision','',0),(2345,2,'2010-10-15 14:39:05','2010-10-15 21:39:05','I recently received a pair of <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ahnu-Footwear/23402612975?ref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">Ahnu hiking shoes</a>, and I gotta say, they’re pretty comfy.

Produced with all the grandeur and glory you’d expect from <a href=\"http://www.nflfilms.com/\" target=\"_blank\">NFL Films</a>, <em>Hard Knocks</em> follows the unheralded moments that shape an NFL team’s roster during training camp and into the preseason. The show started in 2001 and there have been six seasons so far. The Ravens, Cowboys, Jags, Chiefs and Bengals have all participated (the Cowboys were spotlighted on two separate occasions), and the New York Jets will be featured in the latest installment that airs in September.\r\n\r\nFrom contract disputes to players on the bubble, super star egos and smoking hot wives (<a href=\"http://www.sportressofblogitude.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/october.JPG\" target=\"_blank\">October Gonzalez</a> and <a href=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yGeA_PC563M/SUfPQW7rerI/AAAAAAAADe4/QPF2AurKafs/s400/Kelli+Croyle.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Kelli Croyle</a> FTW!), <em>Hard Knocks</em> gives fans an inside, albeit semi-staged looked at the inner workings of an NFL organization in the final weeks leading up to the regular season. If you want to see how Marvin Lewis motivates his players (spoiler alert: Fight Back T-Shirts!) or how a third-string fullback battles for a roster spot (who doesn’t love <a href=\"http://arrowheadaddict.com/files/2007/08/boomer2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Boomer Grigsby</a>!) or how Jerry Jones runs a meeting (classic!), <em>Hard Knocks</em> delivers.\r\n\r\nMANjr wants you to get all caught up on the Hard Knocks action. Unfortunately, last season isn’t on Hulu yet so you can’t hear Marvin Lewis scream “Eleven together! Fiiight baaack!” But at least you can pound through the first five seasons in one place. Enjoy!\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2>Season 1 – The Baltimore Ravens (2001)</h2>\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\"

href=\"http://www.hbo.com/hard-knocks/index.html\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Hard Knocks</em> on HBO</a>. Produced with all the grandeur and glory you’d expect from <a href=\"http://www.nflfilms.com/\" target=\"_blank\">NFL Films</a>, <em>Hard Knocks</em> follows the unheralded moments that shape an NFL team’s roster during training camp and into the preseason. The show started in 2001 and there have been six seasons so far. The Ravens, Cowboys, Jags, Chiefs and Bengals have all participated (the Cowboys were spotlighted on two separate occasions), and the New York Jets will be featured in the latest installment that airs in September.\r\n\r\nFrom contract disputes to players on the bubble, super star egos and smoking hot wives (<a href=\"http://www.sportressofblogitude.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/october.JPG\" target=\"_blank\">October Gonzalez</a> and <a href=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yGeA_PC563M/SUfPQW7rerI/AAAAAAAADe4/QPF2AurKafs/s400/Kelli+Croyle.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Kelli Croyle</a> FTW!), <em>Hard Knocks</em> gives fans an inside, albeit semi-staged looked at the inner workings of an NFL organization in the final weeks leading up to the regular season. If you want to see how Marvin Lewis motivates his players (spoiler alert: Fight Back T-Shirts!) or how a third-string fullback battles for a roster spot (who doesn’t love <a href=\"http://arrowheadaddict.com/files/2007/08/boomer2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Boomer Grigsby</a>!) or how Jerry Jones runs a meeting (classic!), <em>Hard Knocks</em> delivers.\r\n\r\nMANjr wants you to get all caught up on the Hard Knocks action. Unfortunately, last season isn’t on Hulu yet so you can’t hear Marvin Lewis scream “Eleven together! Fiiight baaack!” But at least you can pound through the first five seasons in one place. Enjoy!\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2>Season 1 – The Baltimore Ravens (2001)</h2>\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\"

title=\"10 TV Shows\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/10-TV-Shows.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"599\" height=\"288\" />\r\n\r\nThere’s a ton of garbage on television these days. You got a bunch of lazy, formulaic reality shows (any reality show not starring Gordon Ramsey or the New York Jets is not worth your time). Then there’s all those sappy sitcoms and tiresome hour-long dramas on network (seriously, how many CSIs/Law and Orders can they churn out?). With all the clutter on TV, some quality shows are bound to slip through the cracks. If you like consuming television programs on a season-per-day basis, here are 10 shows you need add to your NetFlix queue and plow through (in no particular order).\r\n<h2>Dexter</h2>\r\nI was a little late to the Dexter party. I just couldn’t get into it at first. I thought it was a dark comedy that was too heavy on the dark and too light on the comedy. But it’s a good show, man. The supporting characters/storylines are all a little wack (I’m lookin’ at you Doakes), and the flashback scenes with Dexter’s Dad can get a little cheesy, but Michael C. Hall makes it all worthwhile. The last season with Jon Lithgow was intense as hell, and the new season just got rolling. It’s a good time to get yourself all caught up.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/CUbCMbW-BRE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/CUbCMbW-BRE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n<h2>The Wire</h2>\r\nIf you’re sick and tired of hearing people say that The Wire is the greatest show of all time, shut the hell up. People gush endlessly about this show for good reason. If it’s not the best show ever then it’s in the top three for damn sure. Why? It’s just so well-done. The writing is absolutely fantastic. You have deep and honest sociological insights wrapped up in a tight dialogue that’s spoken by dozens of characters whose arcs enjoy multiple seasons’ worth of development. Plus, there’s McNutty.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/KQbsnSVM1zM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/KQbsnSVM1zM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n<h2>The Shield</h2>\r\nComparing The Shield to The Wire is unfair. It’s apples and oranges, really. The Wire tinkers with root-causing systemic societal woes, but The Shield is a much more individualized, inward psychological study of badass anti-hero Vic Mackey. The series sets Mackey up as this terribly corrupt yet loveably effective detective who does some disgraceful things for mostly the right reasons. Each season is a little different, but the intensity of Michael Chiklis is the one constant you can look forward to throughout the series.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/DOHXl8GMdrc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/DOHXl8GMdrc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>Breaking Bad</h2>\r\nMoody and visceral, Breaking Bad is simply amazing television. The pacing, the uniqueness of each episode, the characters, everything is incredible. The funny parts are hilarious, the suspense isn’t contrived and the oh-shit moments are genuinely jaw dropping. There’s a reason why Bryan Cranston has won three-consecutive Emmys for his portrayal of Mr. White. Watching the Chemistry teacher turned meth chef’s gradual transition into a total gangsta is must-see TV.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/58LsEQ3FtDU?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/58LsEQ3FtDU?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>Sons of Anarchy</h2>\r\nI don’t ride motorcycles and I don’t wear leather jackets. I do love the film Green Street Hooligans though (Elijah Wood is still a pansy but we’ll gloss over that for now), and anyone who’s seen that movie knows that Charlie Hunnam <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APb7TeeN8Tg\" target=\"_blank\">plays the tough guy role well</a>. The Brit actor carries Sons of Anarchy almost single handedly. Sure, tough-old-lady Peggy Bundy and ringleader Hellboy are cool too, but the show revolves around his character Jax. Fun fact: Kurt Sutter, the show’s creator, is married to Katey Segal and also wrote for The Shield.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/UsccPMFFWZw?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/UsccPMFFWZw?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>Mad Men</h2>\r\nHere’s another critically/culturally acclaimed show that lives up to the hype. Sure all the boozing and womanizing and goofy 60s mores get all the attention, but Mad Men is full of rich subtleties. The show doesn’t stuff character traits and conflicts down your throat. There’s a whole lot of subtext to play with. Don Draper is also one of the coolest TV characters of all time. It’s hard to see Jon Hamm as anything but Draper at this point. If you haven’t seen every episode of the three-time Emmy award winning outstanding drama series, get on that shit.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/FZwB-64x_jg?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/FZwB-64x_jg?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>Californication</h2>\r\nPart romance, part ridiculous Californication is great television. David Duchovny shows his acting range by playing an artsy, boozin’ sex-crazed maniac. Okay so he’s playing himself, but he does it really, really well. His little daughter has a voice that’ll make you wanna jump out a window, but with all the T &amp; A, funny dialogue and family dysfunction, the three seasons of this show are certainly worth a lazy weekend investment.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/L3oIgg8gcDc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/L3oIgg8gcDc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>The Sopranos</h2>\r\nI know what you’re thinking… The Sopranos was a good show? No shit, bro, thanks for the memo! The reason the show’s on this list is cause I know there are people out there that letsome episodes (or maybe even seasons) of The Sopranos slip through the cracks. There was a two year break between seasons 4 and 5 and another two year gap between seasons 5 and 6. Don’t try to catch reruns on basic cable. Do the show some justice and get fully caught up on any episodes you missed.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"344\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/B8lHGw4arsM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"344\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/B8lHGw4arsM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>True Blood</h2>\r\nIs it gay? Yes, yes it is. Is Anna Paquin hot? Sadly, no. Even with those two strikes, True Blood is still an interesting show. I’m as vampired out as the next guy, but there are some fun characters and storylines to get behind in this series. Catch up on it if you haven’t already.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"295\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/2tKCAtUJiOU?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"295\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/2tKCAtUJiOU?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>24</h2>\r\nLook, we all know that 24 starting sucking bad (real bad) in those last few seasons. But think back to a different time. Think back to a time when news outlets were debating the finer points of torture to keep our country safe. Things were different back then. Threats we\'re everywhere and the greater LA area always seemed to be a target. If a nuclear bomb or chemical attack is about to go off in Chattsworth, Valencia or Encino, there\'s really only one guy you\'d want to save Southern California... Jack Bauer when he\'s sober. I had a hard time including this show on the list, cause it got really, really bad. Unwatchable even. But those first couple/few seasons were like crack, man. You needed that shit. Doot...Doot...Doot...Doot. Y\'know what I\'m talking about. It\'s hard to say when this show lost it\'s way, but the first two-three seasons are definitely worth a NetFlix push.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"340\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/399Hiwua0J4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"340\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/399Hiwua0J4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>','10 TV Shows to Put in Your NetFlix Queue ','','inherit','open','open','','2096-revision-10','','','2010-10-01 15:19:39','2010-10-01 22:19:39','',2096,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2096-revision-10/',0,'revision','',0),(2354,2,'2010-10-18 10:25:24','2010-10-18 17:25:24','This looks pretty cool. \r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"600\" height=\"367\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"opaque\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.divshare.com/flash/video_embed?data=YTo2OntzOjU6ImFwaUlkIjtzOjE6IjQiO3M6NjoiZmlsZUlkIjtpOjEyODM5NjUzO3M6NDoiY29kZSI7czoxMjoiMTI4Mzk2NTMtNzVhIjtzOjY6InVzZXJJZCI7aTowO3M6NDoidGltZSI7aToxMjg3MTgwMzE0O3M6MTI6ImV4dGVybmFsQ2FsbCI7aToxO30=&amp;autoplay=default\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"600\" height=\"367\" src=\"http://www.divshare.com/flash/video_embed?data=YTo2OntzOjU6ImFwaUlkIjtzOjE6IjQiO3M6NjoiZmlsZUlkIjtpOjEyODM5NjUzO3M6NDoiY29kZSI7czoxMjoiMTI4Mzk2NTMtNzVhIjtzOjY6InVzZXJJZCI7aTowO3M6NDoidGltZSI7aToxMjg3MTgwMzE0O3M6MTI6ImV4dGVybmFsQ2FsbCI7aToxO30=&amp;autoplay=default\" wmode=\"opaque\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>','Trailer -

There\'s the stereotypical loud types, super drunk types, drop dead gorgeous types and so on, but there\'s also a bunch of other random characters that you\'ll encounter when you\'re in Sin City. Here\'s 21 random people you\'ll see in Vegas:\r\n<h2><strong>The Old Asian Dude Who Knows Dice Control and Can Win You Bank at the Craps Table</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2322\" title=\"craps-2\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/craps-21.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"306\" height=\"230\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nIf you like craps, find the table with the four-foot Asian dude with the glasses and the slouch. If you see him setting the dice as he picks ‘em up, camp out at that table and just enjoy your winnings. When he leaves, you need to leave too.\r\n<h2><strong>Aggressive Mechanical Wheelchair Guy</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2311\" title=\"mechanical wheelchair in vegas\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/mechanical-wheelchair-in-vegas.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nDude, I’m trying to get out of your way but you need to slow down on those turns, buddy. I know you got a disability and all, but that doesn’t give you the right to mow people down with your high-speed bulldozer-chair.\r\n<h2><strong>The Chick with the Bad Boob Job</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2313\" title=\"cross-eyed boobs\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/cross-eyed-boobs1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nWait a minute, there’s something wrong with those basketballs bolted on your chest. They might look good from afar, but when you get too close, the cross-eyed nipples start staring at you in opposite directions. Big boobs look great and all, but those south-by-northeast nips just ain’t right.\r\n<h2><strong>Pornstar Asian Chicks</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2325\" title=\"pornstar asians\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/pornstar-asians.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nWait a minute, that super-stacked, blond-haired blue-eyed shorty   isn’t a white girl? Nope, she’s one of those pornstar Asian chicks.  These down-to-get-down Tila Tequilla-types never travel alone. There’s  always at least seven or eight of ‘em. You’ll know their coming when you  hear the click-clack-shuffle of massive heels being dragged on the  marble floor at the Venetian.\r\n<h2><strong>The Pool Prowler</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2327\" title=\"creepy-guy1\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/creepy-guy1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"301\" height=\"189\" />\r\n\r\nYoung kids who go to Vegas don’t even have a gambling agenda. They  just want to live the Jersey Shore dream with a $1500 poolside cabana  complete with vodka bottle service and your choice of mixer. Tanned  dudes flex their six-backs and big-breasted 90-pound birds showcase more  T&amp;A than you’ll see at strip clubs that serve booze. In this  environment, you’ll always find that Creepy McCreepster guy who’s too  old and filthy-looking to be hanging around the pool. He’s probably not  even lookin’ for action. He’s just categorizing images for his spank  bank and hoping to see a nipple slip when some blondie’s using a towel  to remove wetness from her pink string bikini.\r\n<h2><strong>The Bald Guy with the Fanny Pack</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2330\" title=\"fanny_pack\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/fanny_pack.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nLook man, I know you’re on vacation and I know you have a ton of shit  to carry, but the tucked-in t-shit and shorts with a fanny pack and  comfortable running shoes just sends out a rob me signal to the entire  world. Man up, put some pants on, store stuff in your pockets and tell  your nagging wife to shut the hell up.\r\n<h2><strong>The Explosive Shitter in the Bathroom</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2332\" title=\"bathroom\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/bathroom.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nI don’t know if it’s the beer-shits or the buffet-shits or some killer combo of the two, but you can’t visit a casino bathroom without hearing some sort of crazy asstastrophe going on. Dude, can I get a courtesy flush on that butt-shrapnel?\r\n<h2><strong>The Girl Who’s Just Not Hot Enough</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2331\" title=\"not hot enough\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/not-hot-enough.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nVegas makes you horny. Maybe it’s the booze or the pros or all the titties on display, but when you’re in Vegas, you start to think that anyone’s shaggable. Well, almost everyone. There’s always that girl who’s just not hot enough. Maybe she’s got a poor face-to-body or body-to-face grade. Maybe’s she’s just a little too chunky or too crazy. Whatever it is, you’ll always find a chick on the bubble who just misses the cutoff, even when you’re blasted and seeing double.\r\n<h2><strong>The Old Local Lifer with the WTF Haircut</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2326\" title=\"mullet\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/mullet.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nOh man, Vegas locals are a trip. They got their funny t-shirts and physical deformities (like a neck barnacle or an extra back or some shit). A majority of these locals have the most ridiculous haircuts you’ve ever see. Like the lady with the 5-2 step-mullet-fade that’s half highlighted and half spikey. Strange.\r\n<h2><strong>The Dude Who Just Got Out of Jail and Needs Money</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2329\" title=\"neck tat\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/neck-tat.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" />\r\n\r\nIf some shady white dude with neck tats tries to chat you up at the slots, don’t engage. The dude just got out of jail and he needs money to get back home. He was put in jail because of a long story involving his girlfriend, a crowbar and peanut butter. Don’t offer him a ride and don’t give him any money.\r\n<h2><strong>Raider Fans</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2324\" title=\"raider fans\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/raider-fans.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nRaider fans are everywhere, especially in Vegas. Raider fans have the dumbest football IQ of any fan group. These guys yell stupid shit at the Sportsbook to cheer their team on even when the Raiders aren’t playing. They always think the Raiders are going to win, and a couple times each year, they’re right.\r\n<h2><strong>Fat Chicks Who Travel in Packs</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2318\" title=\"fat-girls-in-bikinis\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/fat-girls-in-bikinis.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"288\" />\r\n\r\nWith all the amazing tail on display in Vegas, chubby girls have it rough. They need to stick together. When was the last time you saw one fat girl by herself in a casino? It doesn’t happen. Large girls know they need to travel in packs to minimize their maximum exposure.\r\n<h2><strong>Drunken Business Bros</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2319\" title=\"vegas business bro\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/vegas-business-bro.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"261\" />\r\n\r\nWe’re at a conference bro! I’m gonna get so wasted that I may even untuck my shirt at 3am. No promises though! Let’s high-five and yell whenever we double down or split 8s at the blackjack table. I can’t believe you didn’t hook up with Kimberly from marketing, bro. She was so into you!\r\n<h2><strong>Three Greasy Hipster Dudes with One Grimy Skinny Chick </strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2320\" title=\"hipsters\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/hipsters.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"328\" />\r\n\r\nHipsters travel in disproportionate girl-to-guy ratios. Typically you’ll see three flanneled ironic-facial haired PBR drinkers to every one bright-plastic-eyeglass-wearing pale and depressed looking skinny gal with satirical high tops and a haircut from the future. I don’t why this is.\r\n<h2><strong>Old Oxygen Tank Guy</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2314\" title=\"oxygen tank guy\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/oxygen-tank-guy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nLook, I’m no doctor, but if you’re wheeling around an oxygen tank in a smoke filled slot pit, maybe you need to find another spot to spend your Tuesday afternoons. I know they pump extra oxygen in the casino, but that’s gotta be offset by the cancer cave-like conditions near the Wheel of Fortune games.\r\n<h2><strong>Prostitute?</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2321\" title=\"Pro\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Pro.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nWait is this smoking hot broad laughing at my jokes because it’s 5am and we’re the only two people left at the bar? Or is my bankroll about to take a surprise hit from a professional lady of the night? It’s really hard to tell sometimes. Girls in Vegas like to go extra slutty with it. If you’re unsure whether or not the hot chick you hit it off with is a pro, don’t ask her. That’s just bad form. If for some reason she’s not, you’re gonna blow it. Concoct a story of lost wealth so she knows you got nothing left to spend for the evening. If she is a professional, she’ll move on.\r\n<h2><strong>The Dapper Old Dude with Cut Up Plastic Jailbait</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2328\" title=\"hoff-2\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/hoff-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nNothing’s creeper than seeing some slick old-timer with huge shades, a fitted burgundy suit and gold chains walking around with a 17-year old brunette who just got done with her 17th augmentation surgery.\r\n<h2><strong>Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2316\" title=\"bachelorette-party\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/bachelorette-party.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nThere’s nothing funnier than a large group of horny bachelor party dudes who can’t get into a club ‘cause there’s not one chick among them. Well, that’s not true. Seeing a wild back of bachelorette party girls who are walking around with hungry eyes and dildos and goofy matching t-shirts is also pretty entertaining.\r\n<h2><strong>The Cheapskate</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2315\" title=\"Cheapskate\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Cheapskate.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nYou know, the guy who camps out at the buffet so he can catch the  breakfast and the lunch rotation. Or the guy who lingers around the  slots to get a free drink and then doesn’t tip the waitress. In Vegas,  cheap bastards are everywhere. You can spot them by their shifty eyes  and willingness to fake gamble for long periods of time just to score a  Bud Light.\r\n<h2><strong>Wedding Party Girls Looking for Action</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2323\" title=\"Bridesmaids\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Bridesmaids.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nNothing’s more romantic than getting married in Vegas. It’s every girl’s dream, really. Well, maybe not every girl, but girls who are around other girls who just got married want to get down something fierce. That’s a fact. If you see a pack of casino skirts who look like they’re going to church, you know what to do.\r\n<h2><strong>Sad Children</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2317\" title=\"sad-kid\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sad-kid.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"301\" height=\"305\" />\r\n\r\nVegas is so much fun for adults. Things get tricky when you bring the kids, though. Sure there are responsible parents who just love spending family time together watching those outrageous blue man guys do their outrageous blue man thing, but most of the time, if you see kids at a casino in Vegas, they look sad as hell. There’s only so much TV you can watch when mom and dad are burning through your college tuition during a 13-hour slot bender. Don’t park junior at the buffet. Leave the kids at home.','21 Random People You\'ll See in Vegas','','inherit','open','open','','2305-revision-12','','','2010-10-15 13:33:29','2010-10-15 20:33:29','',2305,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2305-revision-12/',0,'revision','',0),(2359,2,'2010-10-15 16:54:34','2010-10-15 23:54:34','Whenever you\'re in Vegas, you come across some interesting people.

You’ll know their coming when you  hear the click-clack-shuffle of massive heels being dragged on the  marble floor at the Venetian.\r\n<h2><strong>The Pool Prowler</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2327\" title=\"creepy-guy1\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/creepy-guy1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"301\" height=\"189\" />\r\n\r\nYoung kids who go to Vegas don’t even have a gambling agenda. They  just want to live the Jersey Shore dream with a $1500 poolside cabana  complete with vodka bottle service and your choice of mixer. Tanned  dudes flex their six-backs and big-breasted 90-pound birds showcase more  T&amp;A than you’ll see at strip clubs that serve booze. In this  environment, you’ll always find that Creepy McCreepster guy who’s too  old and filthy-looking to be hanging around the pool. He’s probably not  even lookin’ for action. He’s just categorizing images for his spank  bank and hoping to see a nipple slip when some blondie’s using a towel  to remove wetness from her pink string bikini.\r\n<h2><strong>The Bald Guy with the Fanny Pack</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2330\" title=\"fanny_pack\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/fanny_pack.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nLook man, I know you’re on vacation and I know you have a ton of shit  to carry, but the tucked-in t-shit and shorts with a fanny pack and  comfortable running shoes just sends out a rob me signal to the entire  world. Man up, put some pants on, store stuff in your pockets and tell  your nagging wife to shut the hell up.\r\n<h2><strong>The Explosive Shitter in the Bathroom</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2332\" title=\"bathroom\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/bathroom.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nI don’t know if it’s the beer-shits or the buffet-shits or some killer combo of the two, but you can’t visit a casino bathroom without hearing some sort of crazy asstastrophe going on. Dude, can I get a courtesy flush on that butt-shrapnel?\r\n<h2><strong>The Girl Who’s Just Not Hot Enough</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2331\" title=\"not hot enough\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/not-hot-enough.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nVegas makes you horny. Maybe it’s the booze or the pros or all the titties on display, but when you’re in Vegas, you start to think that anyone’s shaggable. Well, almost everyone. There’s always that girl who’s just not hot enough. Maybe she’s got a poor face-to-body or body-to-face grade. Maybe’s she’s just a little too chunky or too crazy. Whatever it is, you’ll always find a chick on the bubble who just misses the cutoff, even when you’re blasted and seeing double.\r\n<h2><strong>The Old Local Lifer with the WTF Haircut</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2326\" title=\"mullet\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/mullet.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nOh man, Vegas locals are a trip. They got their funny t-shirts and physical deformities (like a neck barnacle or an extra back or some shit). A majority of these locals have the most ridiculous haircuts you’ve ever see. Like the lady with the 5-2 step-mullet-fade that’s half highlighted and half spikey. Strange.\r\n<h2><strong>The Dude Who Just Got Out of Jail and Needs Money</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2329\" title=\"neck tat\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/neck-tat.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" />\r\n\r\nIf some shady white dude with neck tats tries to chat you up at the slots, don’t engage. The dude just got out of jail and he needs money to get back home. He was put in jail because of a long story involving his girlfriend, a crowbar and peanut butter. Don’t offer him a ride and don’t give him any money.\r\n<h2><strong>Raider Fans</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2324\" title=\"raider fans\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/raider-fans.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nRaider fans are everywhere, especially in Vegas. Raider fans have the dumbest football IQ of any fan group. These guys yell stupid shit at the Sportsbook to cheer their team on even when the Raiders aren’t playing. They always think the Raiders are going to win, and a couple times each year, they’re right.\r\n<h2><strong>Fat Chicks Who Travel in Packs</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2318\" title=\"fat-girls-in-bikinis\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/fat-girls-in-bikinis.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"288\" />\r\n\r\nWith all the amazing tail on display in Vegas, chubby girls have it rough. They need to stick together. When was the last time you saw one fat girl by herself in a casino? It doesn’t happen. Large girls know they need to travel in packs to minimize their maximum exposure.\r\n<h2><strong>Drunken Business Bros</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2319\" title=\"vegas business bro\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/vegas-business-bro.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"261\" />\r\n\r\nWe’re at a conference bro! I’m gonna get so wasted that I may even untuck my shirt at 3am. No promises though! Let’s high-five and yell whenever we double down or split 8s at the blackjack table. I can’t believe you didn’t hook up with Kimberly from marketing, bro. She was so into you!\r\n<h2><strong>Three Greasy Hipster Dudes with One Grimy Skinny Chick </strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2320\" title=\"hipsters\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/hipsters.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"328\" />\r\n\r\nHipsters travel in disproportionate girl-to-guy ratios. Typically you’ll see three flanneled ironic-facial haired PBR drinkers to every one bright-plastic-eyeglass-wearing pale and depressed looking skinny gal with satirical high tops and a haircut from the future. I don’t know why this is.\r\n<h2><strong>Old Oxygen Tank Guy</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2314\" title=\"oxygen tank guy\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/oxygen-tank-guy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nLook, I’m no doctor, but if you’re wheeling around an oxygen tank in a smoke filled slot pit, maybe you need to find another spot to spend your Tuesday afternoons. I know they pump extra oxygen in the casino, but that’s gotta be offset by the cancer cave-like conditions near the Wheel of Fortune games.\r\n<h2><strong>Prostitute?</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2360\" title=\"dupre\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/dupre.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nWait is this smoking hot broad laughing at my jokes because it’s 5am and we’re the only two people left at the bar? Or is my bankroll about to take a surprise hit from a professional lady of the night? It’s really hard to tell sometimes. Girls in Vegas like to go extra slutty with it. If you’re unsure whether or not the hot chick you hit it off with is a pro, don’t ask her. That’s just bad form. If for some reason she’s not, you’re gonna blow it. Concoct a story of lost wealth so she knows you got nothing left to spend for the evening. If she is a professional, she’ll move on.\r\n<h2><strong>The Dapper Old Dude with Cut Up Plastic Jailbait</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2328\" title=\"hoff-2\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/hoff-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nNothing’s creeper than seeing some slick old-timer with huge shades, a fitted burgundy suit and gold chains walking around with a 17-year old brunette who just got done with her 17th augmentation surgery.\r\n<h2><strong>Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2316\" title=\"bachelorette-party\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/bachelorette-party.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nThere’s nothing funnier than a large group of horny bachelor party dudes who can’t get into a club ‘cause there’s not one chick among them. Well, that’s not true. Seeing a wild back of bachelorette party girls who are walking around with hungry eyes and dildos and goofy matching t-shirts is also pretty entertaining.\r\n<h2><strong>The Cheapskate</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2315\" title=\"Cheapskate\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Cheapskate.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nYou know, the guy who camps out at the buffet so he can catch the  breakfast and the lunch rotation. Or the guy who lingers around the  slots to get a free drink and then doesn’t tip the waitress. In Vegas,  cheap bastards are everywhere. You can spot them by their shifty eyes  and willingness to fake gamble for long periods of time just to score a  Bud Light.\r\n<h2><strong>Wedding Party Girls Looking for Action</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2323\" title=\"Bridesmaids\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Bridesmaids.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nNothing’s more romantic than getting married in Vegas. It’s every girl’s dream, really. Well, maybe not every girl, but girls who are around other girls who just got married want to get down something fierce. That’s a fact. If you see a pack of casino skirts who look like they’re going to church, you know what to do.\r\n<h2><strong>Sad Children</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2317\" title=\"sad-kid\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/sad-kid.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"301\" height=\"305\" />\r\n\r\nVegas is so much fun for adults. Things get tricky when you bring the kids, though. Sure there are responsible parents who just love spending family time together watching those outrageous blue man guys do their outrageous blue man thing, but most of the time, if you see kids at a casino in Vegas, they look sad as hell. There’s only so much TV you can watch when mom and dad are burning through your college tuition during a 13-hour slot bender. Don’t park junior at the buffet. Leave the kids at home.','21 Random People You\'ll See in Vegas','','inherit','open','open','','2305-revision-15','','','2010-10-15 20:37:33','2010-10-16

Well, even though the advent of caller ID has made this pastime much more difficult, the trend still carries on. Whether you’re looking for inspiration for your next call, wanting to take a walk down memory lane, or just get a good laugh—you just have to hear these recorded prank calls.\n\n1.	Looking back, I was probably about 12 years old when I used to prank call.

Becky wants her school destroyed. So she <a href=\"http://www.entertonement.com/clips/ynmfrmdfgr--Becky-Calls-Demolition-Company\">calls a demolition crew.</a>\n\n7.	Can you believe even Al Pacino prank calls people? Okay, it’s not really him. But it sounds like him.

Named after Haarlem, a town just outside of Amsterdam, the Dutch liqueur is produced by the <a href=\"http://www.noletspirits.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Nolet Family</a>, the fine people that make <a href=\"http://www.ketelone.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Ketel One Vodka</a>. Haarlem is the town where Carl Nolet Jr.’s grandmother was born. HARLEM is the first product that Nolet has introduced since 1983.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2395\" title=\"bottle-harlem\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/bottle-harlem.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"215\" height=\"668\" />HARLEM is basically a more nuanced, Jager-like liqueur that’s full of subtle herbal and citrus tones. It’s a bit darker and stiffer than Jagermeister (HARLEM is 80 proof, Jager is 70 proof), and it has a fuller, more complex-tasting edge to it. The actual ingredients in HARLEM are a secret, so the blend of aromas and flavors is rather difficult to describe. <a href=\"http://www.wolfskees-online.nl/files/news_image/1256038832/kruiden.jpg \" target=\"_blank\">Kruiden</a> is the term the Dutch use to describe the herbs used to give HARLEM it’s bold and earthy flavor. Meant to be served as an ice cold shot, HARLEM has this orangey root beer bite that kicks the back of your throat and coats your palate with a balanced combo of bitter and sweetness.\r\n\r\nThe SHOT Showcase, which took place at the <a href=\"http://www.palms.com/nightlife/clubs-and-bars/rain\" target=\"_blank\">Rain Nightclub</a> inside the <a href=\"http://www.palms.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Palms Casino &amp; Resort in Vegas</a>, was a coming out party for the liqueur. The culmination of a national contest, the Showcase featured bartenders throughout the US who won <a href=\"http://harlemshots.com/harlemblog/2010/09/make-your-best-shot/\" target=\"_blank\">The HARLEM® Make Your Best Shot Competition</a>. Judged by <a href=\"http://www.tastingpanelmag.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Tasting Panel Magazine</a>, the competition invited bartenders to create their own custom shots using HARLEM as the main ingredient. The results were quite impressive.\r\n\r\nLocal bartenders from Chicago, LA, Miami, Vegas, New York, San Francisco and Orange County showed off their winning 2 oz. concoctions to rave reviews. Every bartender brought a unique spin to the liqueur.\r\n\r\nSome bartenders played on the sweetness of the shot.  Mike Miller and Adam Garvanian from Chicago created two shots, The Red Light and Harlem Night, that accentuated the after-dinner desert quality of the liqueur.  The Red Light featured 1 oz. of HARLEM with ¾ oz. Effen Black Cherry Vodka, ¼ oz. Vanilla Flavored Alcoholic Whipped Cream with a cherry on top. The Harlem Night combined HARLEM with equal parts Bailey’s Irish Cream, chocolate liquor and a dash of Goldschlager. This shot was served in a glass rimmed with cinnamon sugar.\r\n\r\nRichie Petronzi, a Miami bartender from the Burger N Beer Joint decided to throw bacon in the mix. His Harlem Nights shot included an oz. of ample smoke bacon fat washed HARLEM, ½ oz. fresh pressed apple juice, ¼ oz. fresh lemon juice and ¼ oz. grade-A maple syrup. This hearty shot was served with fresh tarragon and a slice of honey smoked bacon.\r\n\r\nPhoenix-based Andrew Record from Hacienda del Sol decided to play up the zesty citrus quality of the liqueur. His HARLEM Renaissance shot included lemon cello, rosemary-infused simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, soda water and a thin orange zest garnish.\r\n\r\nAnother Phoenix winner, Gail Riley from My Ole Man’s, played on the liqueur’s fruity flavors. Her shot, Harlem Rage, combined vanilla vodka, raspberry vodka, pineapple juice and cranberry juice with the Dutch liqueur.\r\n\r\nMy favorite shot came from LA bartender Justin Long from First and Hope and STK. Long’s Harlem Express combined 1 oz. of HARLEM with ¾ oz. chilled espresso, ¼ oz. vanilla syrup and ¼ oz. cream. Served in a mini-Guinness-pint shotglass, Long’s HARLEM Express was a creamy, fluffy coffee treat with a kick.\r\n\r\nFrom sweet to fruity to bacon to coffee, each bartender’s take on HARLEM was worthy of being showcased. Each shot enhanced a different undertone or highlighted a distinct flavor. HARLEM shots are going to be a staple at the Rain Nightclub from now on. The club announced the opening of the new <a href=\"http://vegaswithlove.com/2010/10/17/harlem-room-now-open-inside-rain/\" target=\"_blank\">HARLEM Kruiden Liqueur VIP room</a> this week. Visitors to Rain can enjoy shots of HARLEM in this lavishly furnished VIP room that’s decorated with Kristall chandeliers, massive horizontal mirrors, black carpet, and bold red paint. Framed by bright LED lights, the new VIP room will be easy to spot, even inside the 25,000-sq. ft. of club Rain. The HARLEM Kruiden Liqueur VIP room at Rain will serve the brand’s signature drink, The Slamsterdam, along with a variety of other cocktails made exclusively for HARLEM.\r\n\r\nAll-in-all it was a great Vegas trip. We met a bunch of cool people from <a href=\"http://www.manolith.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Manolith</a>, <a href=\"http://www.complex.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Complex Magazine</a>, <a href=\"http://thirstyinla.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Thirsty in LA</a>, <a href=\"http://bourbonblog.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Bourbon Blog</a>, <a href=\"http://www.theimbiber.net/\" target=\"_blank\">Imbiber</a> and <a href=\"http://liquorsnob.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Liquor Snob</a>, and we got to sample some tasty shots and experience Sin City in style.

Named after Haarlem, a town just outside of Amsterdam, the Dutch liqueur is produced by the <a href=\"http://www.noletspirits.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Nolet Family</a>, the fine people that make <a href=\"http://www.ketelone.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Ketel One Vodka</a>. Haarlem is the town where Carl Nolet Jr.’s grandmother was born. HARLEM is the first product that Nolet has introduced since 1983.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2395\" title=\"bottle-harlem\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/bottle-harlem.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"215\" height=\"668\" />HARLEM is basically a more nuanced, Jager-like liqueur that’s full of subtle herbal and citrus tones. It’s a bit darker and stiffer than Jagermeister (HARLEM is 80 proof, Jager is 70 proof), and it has a fuller, more complex-tasting edge to it. The actual ingredients HARLEM are a secret, so the blend of aromas and flavors is rather difficult to describe. <a href=\"http://www.wolfskees-online.nl/files/news_image/1256038832/kruiden.jpg \" target=\"_blank\">Kruiden</a> is the term the Dutch use to describe the herbs used to give HARLEM it’s bold and earthy flavor. Meant to be served as an ice cold shot, HARLEM has this orangey root beer bite that kicks the back of your throat and coats your palate with a balanced combo of bitter and sweetness.\r\n\r\nThe SHOT Showcase, which took place at the <a href=\"http://www.palms.com/nightlife/clubs-and-bars/rain\" target=\"_blank\">Rain Nightclub</a> inside the <a href=\"http://www.palms.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Palms Casino &amp; Resort in Vegas</a>, was a coming out party for the liqueur. The culmination of a national contest, the Showcase featured bartenders throughout the US who won <a href=\"http://harlemshots.com/harlemblog/2010/09/make-your-best-shot/\" target=\"_blank\">The HARLEM® Make Your Best Shot Competition</a>. Judged by <a href=\"http://www.tastingpanelmag.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Tasting Panel Magazine</a>, the competition invited bartenders to create their own custom shots using HARLEM as the main ingredient. The results were quite impressive.\r\n\r\nLocal bartenders from Chicago, LA, Miami, Vegas, New York, San Francisco and Orange County showed off their winning 2 oz. concoctions to rave reviews. Every bartender brought a unique spin to the liqueur.\r\n\r\nSome bartenders played on the sweetness of the shot.  Mike Miller and Adam Garvanian from Chicago created two shots, The Red Light and Harlem Night, that accentuated the after-dinner desert quality of the liqueur.  The Red Light featured 1 oz. of HARLEM with ¾ oz. Effen Black Cherry Vodka, ¼ oz. Vanilla Flavored Alcoholic Whipped Cream with a cherry on top. The Harlem Night combined HARLEM with equal parts Bailey’s Irish Cream, chocolate liquor and a dash of Goldschlager. This shot was served in a glass rimmed with cinnamon sugar.\r\n\r\nRichie Petronzi, a Miami bartender from the Burger N Beer Joint decided to throw bacon in the mix. His Harlem Nights shot included an oz. of ample smoke bacon fat washed HARLEM, ½ oz. fresh pressed apple juice, ¼ oz. fresh lemon juice and ¼ oz. grade-A maple syrup. This hearty shot was served with fresh tarragon and a slice of honey smoked bacon.\r\n\r\nPhoenix-based Andrew Record from Hacienda del Sol decided to play up the zesty citrus quality of the liqueur. His HARLEM Renaissance shot included lemon cello, rosemary-infused simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, soda water and a thing orange zest garnish.\r\n\r\nAnother Phoenix winner, Gail Riley from My Ole Man’s, played on the liqueur’s fruity flavors. Her shot, Harlem Rage, combined vanilla vodka, raspberry vodka, pineapple juice and cranberry juice with the Dutch liqueur.\r\n\r\nMy favorite shot came from LA bartender Justin Long from First and Hope and STK. Long’s Harlem Express combined 1 oz. of HARLEM with ¾ oz. chilled espresso, ¼ oz. vanilla syrup and ¼ oz. cream. Served in a mini-Guinness-pint shotglass, Long’s HARLEM Express was a creamy, fluffy coffee treat with a kick.\r\n\r\nFrom sweet to fruity to bacon to coffee, each bartender’s take on HARLEM was worthy of being showcased. Each shot enhanced a different undertone or highlighted a distinct flavor. HARLEM shots are going to be a staple at the Rain Nightclub from now on. The club announced the opening of the new <a href=\"http://vegaswithlove.com/2010/10/17/harlem-room-now-open-inside-rain/\" target=\"_blank\">HARLEM Kruiden Liqueur VIP room</a> this week. Visitors to Rain can enjoy shots of HARLEM in this lavishly furnished VIP room that’s decorated with Kristall chandeliers, massive horizontal mirrors, black carpet, and bold red paint. Framed by bright LED lights, the new VIP room will be easy to spot, even inside the 25,000-sq. ft. of club Rain.

Meant to be served as an ice cold shot, HARLEM has this orangey root beer bite that kicks the back of your throat and coats your palate with a balanced combo of bitter and sweetness.\r\n\r\nThe SHOT Showcase, which took place at the <a href=\"http://www.palms.com/nightlife/clubs-and-bars/rain\" target=\"_blank\">Rain Nightclub</a> inside the <a href=\"http://www.palms.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Palms Casino &amp; Resort in Vegas</a>, was a coming out party for the liqueur. The culmination of a national contest, the Showcase featured bartenders throughout the US who won <a href=\"http://harlemshots.com/harlemblog/2010/09/make-your-best-shot/\" target=\"_blank\">The HARLEM® Make Your Best Shot Competition</a>. Judged by <a href=\"http://www.tastingpanelmag.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Tasting Panel Magazine</a>, the competition invited bartenders to create their own custom shots using HARLEM as the main ingredient. The results were quite impressive.\r\n\r\nLocal bartenders from Chicago, LA, Miami, Vegas, New York, San Francisco and Orange County showed off their winning 2 oz. concoctions to rave reviews. Every bartender brought a unique spin to the liqueur.\r\n\r\nSome bartenders played on the sweetness of the shot.  Mike Miller and Adam Garvanian from Chicago created two shots, The Red Light and Harlem Night, that accentuated the after-dinner desert quality of the liqueur.  The Red Light featured 1 oz. of HARLEM with ¾ oz. Effen Black Cherry Vodka, ¼ oz. Vanilla Flavored Alcoholic Whipped Cream with a cherry on top. The Harlem Night combined HARLEM with equal parts Bailey’s Irish Cream, chocolate liquor and a dash of Goldschlager. This shot was served in a glass rimmed with cinnamon sugar.\r\n\r\nRichie Petronzi, a Miami bartender from the Burger N Beer Joint decided to throw bacon in the mix. His Harlem Nights shot included an oz. of ample smoke bacon fat washed HARLEM, ½ oz. fresh pressed apple juice, ¼ oz. fresh lemon juice and ¼ oz. grade-A maple syrup. This hearty shot was served with fresh tarragon and a slice of honey smoked bacon.\r\n\r\nPhoenix-based Andrew Record from Hacienda del Sol decided to play up the zesty citrus quality of the liqueur. His HARLEM Renaissance shot included lemon cello, rosemary-infused simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, soda water and a thing orange zest garnish.\r\n\r\nAnother Phoenix winner, Gail Riley from My Ole Man’s, played on the liqueur’s fruity flavors. Her shot, Harlem Rage, combined vanilla vodka, raspberry vodka, pineapple juice and cranberry juice with the Dutch liqueur.\r\n\r\nMy favorite shot came from LA bartender Justin Long from First and Hope and STK. Long’s Harlem Express combined 1 oz. of HARLEM with ¾ oz. chilled espresso, ¼ oz. vanilla syrup and ¼ oz. cream. Served in a mini-Guinness-pint shotglass, Long’s HARLEM Express was a creamy, fluffy coffee treat with a kick.\r\n\r\nFrom sweet to fruity to bacon to coffee, each bartender’s take on HARLEM was worthy of being showcased. Each shot enhanced a different undertone or highlighted a distinct flavor. HARLEM shots are going to be a staple at the Rain Nightclub from now on. The club announced the opening of the new <a href=\"http://vegaswithlove.com/2010/10/17/harlem-room-now-open-inside-rain/\" target=\"_blank\">HARLEM Kruiden Liqueur VIP room</a> this week. Visitors to Rain can enjoy shots of HARLEM in this lavishly furnished VIP room that’s decorated with Kristall chandeliers, massive horizontal mirrors, black carpet, and bold red paint. Framed by bright LED lights, the new VIP room will be easy to spot, even inside the 25,000-sq. ft. of club Rain. The HARLEM Kruiden Liqueur VIP room at Rain will serve the brand’s signature drink, The Slamsterdam, along with a variety of other cocktails made exclusively for HARLEM.\r\n\r\nAll-in-all it was a great Vegas trip.

Served in a mini-Guinness-pint shotglass, Long’s HARLEM Express was a creamy, fluffy coffee treat with a kick.\r\n\r\nFrom sweet to fruity to bacon to coffee, each bartender’s take on HARLEM was worthy of being showcased. Each shot enhanced a different undertone or highlighted a distinct flavor. HARLEM shots are going to be a staple at the Rain Nightclub from now on. The club announced the opening of the new <a href=\"http://vegaswithlove.com/2010/10/17/harlem-room-now-open-inside-rain/\" target=\"_blank\">HARLEM Kruiden Liqueur VIP room</a> this week. Visitors to Rain can enjoy shots of HARLEM in this lavishly furnished VIP room that’s decorated with Kristall chandeliers, massive horizontal mirrors, black carpet, and bold red paint. Framed by bright LED lights, the new VIP room will be easy to spot, even inside the 25,000-sq. ft. of club Rain. The HARLEM Kruiden Liqueur VIP room at Rain will serve the brand’s signature drink, The Slamsterdam, along with a variety of other cocktails made exclusively for HARLEM.\r\n\r\nAll-in-all it was a great Vegas trip. We met a bunch of cool people from <a href=\"http://www.manolith.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Manolith</a>, <a href=\"http://www.complex.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Complex Magazine</a>, <a href=\"http://thirstyinla.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Thirsty in LA</a>, <a href=\"http://bourbonblog.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Bourbon Blog</a>, <a href=\"http://www.theimbiber.net/\" target=\"_blank\">Imbiber</a> and <a href=\"http://liquorsnob.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Liquor Snob</a>, and we got to sample some tasty shots and experience Sin City in style.

And let\'s face it, you\'re likely to hook up some people more than others. If you need an inexpensive holiday gift for someone, that doesn\'t mean that it has to be an impractical item. If you only have10 bucks to spend on your dad, uncle, brother, cousin, son, nephew or any other dude who you want to  make sure gets an affordable gift from you, consider the Schick Hydro Ultimate Skin Comfort System.\n\nThis holiday gift package is available at Target for $10. Yep, just one Alexander Hamilton. It comes in a nice big shiny box, so you won\'t look like a massive cheapskate in front of your family. The box  includes one Schick Hydro razor, five replacement cartridges and a bottle of Schick Hydro Moisturizing Shave Gel.\n\nThe Schick Hydro razor is pretty sweet. It has five ultra glide blades that have these skin guards that smooth your skin over as your shaving, The hydrating gel reservoir is where it\'s at though. The this protective strip above the blades has this gooey combo of Aloe and Vitamin E. I received one of these boxes and I\'ve used the razor a bunch of times. It\'s still gooey without too much gooey. That thing still glides up and down my face after multiple uses. The Moisturizing Shave Gel is one of those extra-blue, super-foaming gel deals where a little gel can go a long way. A tiny about of blue will end up covering your whole face in foam.\n\nIt\'s all pretty high tech sounding, but it works. The thing about the Hydro is that you always feel like there\'s a protective layer between your face and the blade. This reduces irritation and razor burn and generally makes for a pretty comfortable shaving experience. Getting someone all this in a sext $10 package is a nice way to say, \"I couldn\'t spend all that much but hey, at least I got you something that you\'re actually gonna use this Christmas.\" It\'s the thought that counts, but it\'s the practicality of the gift that\'ll score you extra appreciation in the long run.','Schick Hydro Target Holiday Pack','','inherit','open','open','','2851-revision-3','','','2010-11-17 09:24:09','2010-11-17 17:24:09','',2851,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2851-revision-3/',0,'revision','',0),(2888,2,'2010-11-18 16:29:29','2010-11-19 00:29:29','<object width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/IcWJ79yUy3U?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\"></param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"></param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"></param><embed src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/IcWJ79yUy3U?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\"></embed></object>','Teach Me How to Panda','','inherit','open','open','','2887-revision','','','2010-11-18 16:29:29','2010-11-19 00:29:29','',2887,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2887-revision/',0,'revision','',0),(2410,3,'2010-10-19 11:02:58','2010-10-19 18:02:58','<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2406 alignnone\" title=\"Putin - Mafia Wars\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Putin-Mafia-Wars.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"370\" height=\"827\" />\r\n\r\nVia: <a href=\"http://i.imgur.com/JBLQA.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Imgur</a>','Putin - Mafia Wars','','publish','open','open','','putin-mafia-wars-2','','','2010-10-19 11:03:35','2010-10-19 18:03:35','',0,'http://manjr.com/?p=2410',0,'post','',0),(2412,2,'2010-10-19 11:02:34','2010-10-19 18:02:34','<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2406 alignnone\" title=\"Putin - Mafia Wars\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Putin-Mafia-Wars.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"313\" height=\"700\" />\n\nVia: <a href=\"http://i.imgur.com/JBLQA.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Imgur</a>','Putin - Mafia Wars','','inherit','open','open','','2410-revision','','','2010-10-19 11:02:34','2010-10-19 18:02:34','',2410,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2410-revision/',0,'revision','',0),(2413,2,'2010-10-19 11:02:58','2010-10-19 18:02:58','<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2406 alignnone\" title=\"Putin - Mafia Wars\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Putin-Mafia-Wars.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"313\" height=\"700\" />\r\n\r\nVia: <a href=\"http://i.imgur.com/JBLQA.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Imgur</a>','Putin - Mafia Wars','','inherit','open','open','','2410-revision-2','','','2010-10-19 11:02:58','2010-10-19 18:02:58','',2410,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2410-revision-2/',0,'revision','',0),(2414,2,'2010-10-19 11:04:40','2010-10-19 18:04:40','<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2406 alignnone\" title=\"Putin - Mafia Wars\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Putin-Mafia-Wars.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"370\" height=\"827\" />\n\nVia: <a href=\"http://i.imgur.com/JBLQA.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Imgur</a>','Putin - Mafia Wars','','inherit','open','open','','2410-autosave','','','2010-10-19 11:04:40','2010-10-19 18:04:40','',2410,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2410-autosave/',0,'revision','',0),(2415,2,'2010-10-19 18:45:29','2010-10-20 01:45:29','<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2416 alignnone\" title=\"will-sasso-lead\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/will-sasso-lead.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"599\" height=\"282\" />\r\n\r\nCanadian-born actor <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0766005/\" target=\"_blank\">Will Sasso</a> is a funny, funny dude. He stood out as one of the most talented cast members on MADtv for five solid seasons. Sasso’s knack for spot-on impressions and wacky physical comedy made him a fan favorite. Sasso has been acting since 1991, and in addition to his MADtv work, he’s also appeared in numerous films and sitcoms over the years.\r\n\r\nSasso’s newest effort, <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1612578/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>$#*! My Dad Says</em></a>, is a CBS comedy that’s based on Justin Halpert’s ultra-entertaining Twitter feed, <a href=\"http://twitter.com/#!/shitmydadsays\" target=\"_blank\">@shitmydadsays</a>. Justin’s Twitter profile  explains it all: “I\'m 29. I live with my 74-year-old dad. He is awesome. I just write down shit that he says.” Justin’s profile has over 1.7 million followers and has lead to a <a href=\"http://shitmydadsays.com/blog\" target=\"_blank\">blog</a>, a <a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Sh-t-My-Dad-Says/dp/0061992704/\" target=\"_blank\">book</a> and now this <a href=\"http://www.cbs.com/primetime/my_dad_says/\" target=\"_blank\">new sitcom</a> starring William Shatner, Sasso and MADtv vet Nicole Sullivan.\r\n\r\nI had a chance to speak with Sasso and we discussed his new show, working with Shatner, reuniting with Sullivan, Katherine Heigl, Jason Priestly and a bunch of other fun topics like his favorite Canadians of all time.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So tell me about your role on the new show Shat My Dad Says or Shit … what do you call it anyway?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> It’s called Bleep My Dad Says, if you seen the way it’s written it’s got <em>$#*! My Dad Says</em> and we’re producing that bleep, so yeah it’s going really well (laughs) what do you want to know?\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Is Justin Halpert involved in the day to day writing of the show or not so much?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> Yeah he’s one of the executive producers and he’s written – I think him and his writing partner Patrick have written I think 3 of the first 8 episodes. Justin is also one of our bosses so he’s very involved in every single script, he’s one of the executive producers along with his writing partner Patrick Schumaker and of course Max Mutchnick and David Kohan are the executive producers who pre-dated Will and Grace so it’s all four of those guys.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> That’s cool. So what do you think of the whole Twitter-inspired TV / TV-imitating-web-imitating-life situation?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> I think it’s really interesting. For years writers have based their sitcoms and 1 hour dramas – all sorts of stuff on TV actually – on their lives. This is the first time where an audience can actually go back and track it.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Yeah (Laughs).\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> What has happened and what a writer cares to put in and leave out. I mean you can actually check in with us, if you’re been following the Twitter feed you can see how accurate Ed’s barbs are to Justin’s real father Sam’s barbs and that sort of thing. So I think that really makes it interesting, it really makes it an interesting way to conceive and execute a television show. Sam is still a wealth of material obviously for his son Justin. So yeah that’s definitely coming through in the show and I think it’s interesting from an audience standpoint of what you’re able to do, you’re able to actually go back and see it.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So are you happy to be working with Nicole Sullivan again?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> Yeah. Oh yeah, of course yeah I mean that’s kind of a dream come true there because we’re pals and we’ve work together on MadTV starting over a decade ago so yeah that’s kind of … you know it’s familiar in a really great way and it’s just unbelievable. We really do know each other’s rhythms and what the other may do at this point or that point and it’s a lot of fun, it’s a real treat. I kind of can’t believe it sometimes, I kind of pinch myself that I get to do that.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> That’s cool. So is William Shatner totally nuts?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> You mean <em>totally</em> nuts?\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Yeah.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> Not totally nuts.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>CS: </strong>Just a little bit off? (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> Barely actually. You know, it’s funny, I mean here’s a guy that’s been in the business for over 50 years and you’d expect that someone like that would either be maybe not at all interested in the day to day happenings of a show – and 50 years is a very long time obviously, he’s been doing it longer than most of the people in the show have been alive, so you’d expect that, but Bill is a real actor through and through. It’s interesting for a guy like that, but he’s literally about every scene and every line and every word and making sure it’s good and making sure that relationships play and are three-dimensional and that it’s really funny. He was already one of my heroes, but now it’s like he might be my overall showbiz hero. When I’m his age I want to be doing that.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Okay so you do a lot of awesome impressions; you’ve got Steven Segal, Tony Soprano, Randy Newman, Kenny Rodgers, De Niro, even Shatner. I recently saw this Kevin Pollack standup set where he talks about meeting the people he impersonates. Do you have any funny stories about meeting the people you’ve made fun of in the past? Or specifically Shatner, I guess, because you guys are working together now.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> You know it’s funny, Bill has never seen my impression of him.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Really?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> Yeah, he’s never seen it. I mean I’ve never done it for him or anything like that so no, I mean if I have it my way it will stay that way you know? (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (Laughs) Yeah, right.\r\n\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2419\" title=\"will sasso2\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/will-sasso2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"299\" height=\"388\" />WS:</strong> He’ll never see it. But yeah as far as meeting – I’ve met a bunch of people I used to impersonate on MadTV. I’ve impersonated – man I’ve met a few of them. I met James Gandolfini, I used to do an impression of Fred Durst and I met him, I used to do an impression of Dwayne Johnson and I met him. Yeah, I can’t remember some of the other ones. Lance Bass from ‘Nsync, I used to do an impression of him and I met him. It’s usually kind of like you talk about it for a couple of seconds and it sort of becomes an afterthought, most people don’t really want to talk about it you know what I mean? Like some impression you’ve done of them it’s kind of odd when you think about it.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> I can’t imagine Gandolfini being like “do it, do it, come on I want to see.”\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> Yeah no, not that kind of guy (laughs).\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you grew up in Canada and you went to school with Jason Priestly, were you guys like the real life 90210 in British Colombia?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> He left the school well before I got there. I think he was gone – well not <em>well</em> before but he’s probably like 10 years older than me or something like that so he was out of there just like a couple years before I got there. So I actually only met him once, I met him like 2 years ago in L.A. It was funny because we were both like “hey” because we’ve always heard a bunch about the other person from other people.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Right.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> But yeah we just kind of talked for a few minutes about our drama teacher, Eileen Joe, and that was pretty much it (laughs).\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So who are some of your all time favorite Canadians?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> Boy, I guess yeah I would say Bill, I like Bill. John Candy is my idol, I love him. There are too many to count, Terry Fox, Michal J. Fox, the entire cast of SCTV, you know. The Canadian ones at least.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (Laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> And the non-Canadian ones for that matter. I grew up watching that and then later on watching “Kids of the Hall” those guys are all favorite Canadians of mine. Gee whiz I don’t know … I would say John Candy and Terry Fox, if I had to pick a couple of favorite Canadians.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So how did you get started in sketch comedy? Did you start off doing improv or standup? How did you gravitate towards the sketch performance?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> You know it’s funny, I never did improv or standup.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Really?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> I’ve been fortunate enough to just sort of be acting, doing a bunch of film and TV from the time I was like 16, so it was sort of a natural progression from there. Then I moved to L.A. when I was 20 or 21 years old and I guess a little after that. I started doing MADtv when I was 22. It was just, you know, they were cleaning out half the cast after the second season. So you’re kind of going in there, doing their material, writing your own material, coming in with characters, and those things led to something that I thought I’d really like to do. So yeah, you know you audition for – I think the audition process was a couple months of coming back and getting up another rung and another rung, and finally at the end it’s like you and two other guys and you’ve got to beat those guys too. So yeah it’s funny, I never really did standup and I don’t come from an improv background, I kind of came at it as an actor.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So your Twitter account says that you’re the actor that played the guy’s friend in that thing. Tell us about your role in the new film <em>Life As We Know It.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>(laughs) Well, in <em>Life As We Know It,</em> I play one of six neighbors, these three couples who come by to dispense parental advice to Josh Duhamel and Katherine Heigl. In the flick they become the foster parents to this baby who is left behind by Hayes MacArthur and Christina Hendricks and yeah so I’m one of six. Speaking of improve, we did a bunch of improv in that film. Not a lot of it ends up on the screen. I mean when you’re shooting a feature film and you’re improving a lot, it’s interesting to see what ends up in the cut. The six of us were all sort of familiar with improv and enjoyed improvising together. We play the neighbors in the film where we’re in the neighborhood and we’re always dropping by, that kind of thing.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So is Katherine Heigl as high maintenance as she comes off in person or not so much?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>No, not at all actually. It’s funny because I have a really good friend who worked with her on a film that she made just before this one, and I remember them saying “oh you’ll like Katie, she’s a real kick in the pants, she’s cool.” And she was really cool. I mean I’ve seen disasters on set and Katherine – actually I don’t even know where the hell it comes from to be honest with you.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Really?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, and I always kind of go “well she was nice to me.” You know I’ll meet people who everyone else will think is a freak and I go, “well where did you get that?” and they’ll go “oh I read it in this magazine.”\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>And you know, there are some people that I’ve met that I’ve heard are nightmares and then they’re not, so yeah, I don’t effing know (laughs).\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laugh)\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>And to be honest with you I don’t care, like I really don’t care. When I show up on set if someone is a jerk I don’t care so long as they’re not a jerk to me. Having said that I did not witness one moment where Katherine wasn’t actually in a really good mood, enjoying doing the work.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you do a lot of voiceover work for shows like <em>Family Guy</em> and <em>The Cleveland Show</em>, how does your approach to that differ from the expressive, physical comedy that you normally perform?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>With voice it’s totally opposite. I’m not worried about what my face is doing at all when I’m doing voice stuff.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Right.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>As a matter of fact my face is doing very little. I am literally just kind of up in my head doing the voice. So yeah, it’s all about controlling the voice and exactly what it’s doing on those two shows and other ones that I’ve done and am doing now. Yeah, I’m always just worried about the voice.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you have to do a lot of that stuff in isolation, right? You’re not bouncing off other people or how does that usually go?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, it depends on the show. A lot of shows like to keep everybody together in the same room, bouncing off one another. And with a lot of other shows it’s just, come in, say these things and leave. I can do it either way. I actually kind of prefer just saying them one after another, because it allows you to really kind of focus on the voice and allow the director and the producers to worry about where it fits into the show.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Right.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>And you just get really specific direction, like “okay she just said so-and-so, so now you’ve got to react to that.”\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you have quite a few writing credits from your MADtv days and you also wrote a TV movie and served as a producer for upcoming projects like <em>For Christ’s Sake</em> and <em>The Legend of Awesomeus Maximus </em>do you think you want to do more writing and producing in the future?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, I mean I wrote a pilot last year at CBS, called <em>Waiting To Die</em>, I wrote and produced that. It was a lot of fun doing that. It was part of a Sony writing deal that I was in for a couple of years. Me and my good buddy Chad Kultgen wrote that one which CBS ended up buying and we ended up shooting there as a sitcom. But yeah, writing and producing was primarily what I … sort of up to really … not this previous year, just this year’s bad, but kind of 2 ½ years before that I was doing more writing and producing than acting, much more. So yeah, it’s something that I’ve kind of discovered in the past few years and it’s something that I’d like to do more of.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you were in Happy Gilmore right? I think you were like one of the moving guys making the bet that Adam Sandler couldn’t hit that shot.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Was that a fun set? I mean it seemed like it would be a fun movie to shoot.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, it was a gas. I mean it was Sandler’s second big movie behind Billy Madison, so yeah it was a lot of fun. He was a lot of fun to work with. He was really just super mellow. He’s kind of … he has a reputation for being a really mellow, nice guy and obviously he’s very funny, so yeah it was a lot of fun doing that.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> And how did you prepare for your 1993 role of “Classmate” on The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>I don’t know how the heck that ended up in my IMDB because I wasn’t in that.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Oh what? (Laughs) Oh man! I dug that up and was like “this is going to be a crazy story” but you weren’t even in there?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>That’s right.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> IMDB bollocks!\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah isn’t that weird?\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> That is weird. So do you have any other projects that you’re working on now?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah I’m working on a cartoon that my good buddy Tommy Blacha created and is writing. He created <em>Metalocalypse</em> on Adult Swim an now he has just created <em>Mongo Wrestling Alliance</em> for Adult Swim. So yeah, I’m doing that with him and that’s about it right now. Just working on the sitcom, I’m doing that show and having a good time.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> And the show’s been pretty well received so far, right?

Sasso has been acting since 1991, and in addition to his MADtv work, he’s also appeared in numerous films and sitcoms over the years.\n\nSasso’s newest effort, <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1612578/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>$#*! My Dad Says</em></a>, is a CBS comedy that’s based on Justin Halpert’s ultra-entertaining Twitter feed, <a href=\"http://twitter.com/#!/shitmydadsays\" target=\"_blank\">@shitmydadsays</a>. Justin’s Twitter profile  explains it all: “I\'m 29. I live with my 74-year-old dad. He is awesome. I just write down shit that he says.” Justin’s profile has over 1.7 million followers and has lead to a <a href=\"http://shitmydadsays.com/blog\" target=\"_blank\">blog</a>, a <a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Sh-t-My-Dad-Says/dp/0061992704/\" target=\"_blank\">book</a> and now this new sitcom starring William Shatner, Sasso and MADtv vet Nicole Sullivan.\n\nI had a chance to speak with Sasso and we discussed his new show, working with Shatner, reuniting with Sullivan, Katherine Heigl, Jason Priestly and a bunch of other fun topics like his favorite Canadians of all time.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So tell me about your role on the new show Shat My Dad Says or Shit … what do you call it anyway?\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> It’s called Bleep My Dad Says, if you seen the way it’s written it’s got <em>$#*! My Dad Says</em> and we’re producing that bleep, so yeah it’s going really well (laughs) what do you want to know?\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Is Justin Halpert involved in the day to day writing of the show or not so much?\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> Yeah he’s one of the executive producers and he’s written – I think him and his writing partner Patrick have written I think 3 of the first 8 episodes. Justin is also one of our bosses so he’s very involved in every single script, he’s one of the executive producers along with his writing partner Patrick Schumaker and of course Max Mutchnick and David Kohan are the executive producers who pre-dated Will and Grace so it’s all four of those guys.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> That’s cool. So what do you think of the whole Twitter-inspired TV / TV-imitating-web-imitating-life situation?\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> I think it’s really interesting. For years writers have based their sitcoms and 1 hour dramas – all sorts of stuff on TV actually – on their lives. This is the first time where an audience can actually go back and track it.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Yeah (Laughs).\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> What has happened and what a writer cares to put in and leave out. I mean you can actually check in with us, if you’re been following the Twitter feed you can see how accurate Ed’s barbs are to Justin’s real father Sam’s barbs and that sort of thing. So I think that really makes it interesting, it really makes it an interesting way to conceive and execute a television show. Sam is still a wealth of material obviously for his son Justin. So yeah that’s definitely coming through in the show and I think it’s interesting from an audience standpoint of what you’re able to do, you’re able to actually go back and see it.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So are you happy to be working with Nicole Sullivan again?\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> Yeah. Oh yeah, of course yeah I mean that’s kind of a dream come true there because we’re pals and we’ve work together on MadTV starting over a decade ago so yeah that’s kind of … you know it’s familiar in a really great way and it’s just unbelievable. We really do know each other’s rhythms and what the other may do at this point or that point and it’s a lot of fun, it’s a real treat. I kind of can’t believe it sometimes, I kind of pinch myself that I get to do that.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> That’s cool. So is William Shatner totally nuts?\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> You mean <em>totally</em> nuts?\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Yeah.\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> Not totally nuts.\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>CS: </strong>Just a little bit off? (laughs)\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> Barely actually. You know, it’s funny, I mean here’s a guy that’s been in the business for over 50 years and you’d expect that someone like that would either be maybe not at all interested in the day to day happenings of a show – and 50 years is a very long time obviously, he’s been doing it longer than most of the people in the show have been alive, so you’d expect that, but Bill is a real actor through and through. It’s interesting for a guy like that, but he’s literally about every scene and every line and every word and making sure it’s good and making sure that relationships play and are three-dimensional and that it’s really funny. He was already one of my heroes, but now it’s like he might be my overall showbiz hero. When I’m his age I want to be doing that.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Okay so you do a lot of awesome impressions; you’ve got Steven Segal, Tony Soprano, Randy Newman, Kenny Rodgers, De Niro, even Shatner. I recently saw this Kevin Pollack standup set where he talks about meeting the people he impersonates. Do you have any funny stories about meeting the people you’ve made fun of in the past? Or specifically Shatner, I guess, because you guys are working together now.\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> You know it’s funny, Bill has never seen my impression of him.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Really?\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> Yeah, he’s never seen it. I mean I’ve never done it for him or anything like that so no, I mean if I have it my way it will stay that way you know? (laughs)\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> (Laughs) Yeah, right.\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> He’ll never see it. But yeah as far as meeting – I’ve met a bunch of people I used to impersonate on MadTV. I’ve impersonated – man I’ve met a few of them. I met James Gandolfini, I used to do an impression of Fred Durst and I met him, I used to do an impression of Dwayne Johnson and I met him. Yeah, I can’t remember some of the other ones. Lance Bass from ‘Nsync, I used to do an impression of him and I met him. It’s usually kind of like you talk about it for a couple of seconds and it sort of becomes an afterthought, most people don’t really want to talk about it you know what I mean? Like some impression you’ve done of them it’s kind of odd when you think about it.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> I can’t imagine Gandolfini being like “do it, do it, come on I want to see.”\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> Yeah no, not that kind of guy (laughs).\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you grew up in Canada and you went to school with Jason Priestly, were you guys like the real life 90210 in British Colombia?\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> He left the school well before I got there. I think he was gone – well not <em>well</em> before but he’s probably like 10 years older than me or something like that so he was out of there just like a couple years before I got there. So I actually only met him once, I met him like 2 years ago in L.A. It was funny because we were both like “hey” because we’ve always heard a bunch about the other person from other people.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Right.\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> But yeah we just kind of talked for a few minutes about our drama teacher, Eileen Joe, and that was pretty much it (laughs).\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So who are some of your all time favorite Canadians?\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> Boy, I guess yeah I would say Bill, I like Bill. John Candy is my idol, I love him. There are too many to count, Terry Fox, Michal J. Fox, the entire cast of SCTV, you know. The Canadian ones at least.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> (Laughs)\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> And the non-Canadian ones for that matter. I grew up watching that and then later on watching “Kids of the Hall” those guys are all favorite Canadians of mine. Gee whiz I don’t know … I would say John Candy and Terry Fox, if I had to pick a couple of favorite Canadians.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So how did you get started in sketch comedy? Did you start off doing improv or standup? How did you gravitate towards the sketch performance?\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> You know it’s funny, I never did improv or standup.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Really?\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> I’ve been fortunate enough to just sort of be acting, doing a bunch of film and TV from the time I was like 16, so it was sort of a natural progression from there. Then I moved to L.A. when I was 20 or 21 years old and I guess a little after that. I started doing MADtv when I was 22. It was just, you know, they were cleaning out half the cast after the second season. So you’re kind of going in there, doing their material, writing your own material, coming in with characters, and those things led to something that I thought I’d really like to do. So yeah, you know you audition for – I think the audition process was a couple months of coming back and getting up another rung and another rung, and finally at the end it’s like you and two other guys and you’ve got to beat those guys too. So yeah it’s funny, I never really did standup and I don’t come from an improv background, I kind of came at it as an actor.\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So your Twitter account says that you’re the actor that played the guy’s friend in that thing. Tell us about your role in the new film <em>Life As We Know It.</em>\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>(laughs) Well, in <em>Life As We Know It,</em> I play one of six neighbors, these three couples who come by to dispense parental advice to Josh Duhamel and Katherine Heigl. In the flick they become the foster parents to this baby who is left behind by Hayes MacArthur and Christina Hendricks and yeah so I’m one of six. Speaking of improve, we did a bunch of improv in that film. Not a lot of it ends up on the screen. I mean when you’re shooting a feature film and you’re improving a lot, it’s interesting to see what ends up in the cut. The six of us were all sort of familiar with improv and enjoyed improvising together. We play the neighbors in the film where we’re in the neighborhood and we’re always dropping by, that kind of thing.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So is Katherine Heigl as high maintenance as she comes off in person or not so much?\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>No, not at all actually. It’s funny because I have a really good friend who worked with her on a film that she made just before this one, and I remember them saying “oh you’ll like Katie, she’s a real kick in the pants, she’s cool.” And she was really cool. I mean I’ve seen disasters on set and Katherine – actually I don’t even know where the hell it comes from to be honest with you.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Really?\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, and I always kind of go “well she was nice to me.” You know I’ll meet people who everyone else will think is a freak and I go, “well where did you get that?” and they’ll go “oh I read it in this magazine.”\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs)\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>And you know, there are some people that I’ve met that I’ve heard are nightmares and then they’re not, so yeah, I don’t effing know (laughs).\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laugh)\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>And to be honest with you I don’t care, like I really don’t care. When I show up on set if someone is a jerk I don’t care so long as they’re not a jerk to me. Having said that I did not witness one moment where Katherine wasn’t actually in a really good mood, enjoying doing the work.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you do a lot of voiceover work for shows like <em>Family Guy</em> and <em>The Cleveland Show</em>, how does your approach to that differ from the expressive, physical comedy that you normally perform?\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>With voice it’s totally opposite. I’m not worried about what my face is doing at all when I’m doing voice stuff.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Right.\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>As a matter of fact my face is doing very little. I am literally just kind of up in my head doing the voice. So yeah, it’s all about controlling the voice and exactly what it’s doing on those two shows and other ones that I’ve done and am doing now. Yeah, I’m always just worried about the voice.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you have to do a lot of that stuff in isolation, right? You’re not bouncing off other people or how does that usually go?\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, it depends on the show. A lot of shows like to keep everybody together in the same room, bouncing off one another. And with a lot of other shows it’s just, come in, say these things and leave. I can do it either way. I actually kind of prefer just saying them one after another, because it allows you to really kind of focus on the voice and allow the director and the producers to worry about where it fits into the show.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Right.\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>And you just get really specific direction, like “okay she just said so-and-so, so now you’ve got to react to that.”\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you have quite a few writing credits from your MADtv days and you also wrote a TV movie and served as a producer for upcoming projects like <em>For Christ’s Sake</em> and <em>The Legend of Awesomeus Maximus </em>do you think you want to do more writing and producing in the future?\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, I mean I wrote a pilot last year at CBS, called <em>Waiting To Die</em>, I wrote and produced that. It was a lot of fun doing that. It was part of a Sony writing deal that I was in for a couple of years. Me and my good buddy Chad Kultgen wrote that one which CBS ended up buying and we ended up shooting there as a sitcom. But yeah, writing and producing was primarily what I … sort of up to really … not this previous year, just this year’s bad, but kind of 2 ½ years before that I was doing more writing and producing than acting, much more. So yeah, it’s something that I’ve kind of discovered in the past few years and it’s something that I’d like to do more of.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you were in Happy Gilmore right? I think you were like one of the moving guys making the bet that Adam Sandler couldn’t hit that shot.\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Was that a fun set? I mean it seemed like it would be a fun movie to shoot.\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, it was a gas. I mean it was Sandler’s second big movie behind Billy Madison, so yeah it was a lot of fun. He was a lot of fun to work with. He was really just super mellow. He’s kind of … he has a reputation for being a really mellow, nice guy and obviously he’s very funny, so yeah it was a lot of fun doing that.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> And how did you prepare for your 1993 role of “Classmate” on The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air?\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>I don’t know how the heck that ended up in my IMDB because I wasn’t in that.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Oh what? (Laughs) Oh man! I dug that up and was like “this is going to be a crazy story” but you weren’t even in there?\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>That’s right.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> IMDB bollocks!\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah isn’t that weird?\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> That is weird. So do you have any other projects that you’re working on now?\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah I’m working on a cartoon that my good buddy Tommy Blacha created and is writing. He created <em>Metalocalypse</em> on Adult Swim an now he has just created <em>Mongo Wrestling Alliance</em> for Adult Swim. So yeah, I’m doing that with him and that’s about it right now. Just working on the sitcom, I’m doing that show and having a good time.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> And the show’s been pretty well received so far, right? I mean I know it’s only been a brief time, but it seems like it’s already doing well, right?\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah yeah, we opened as the number one new comedy of the year.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Nice!\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> And that’s there where I stop being interested in the ratings.','Will Sasso Interview','','inherit','open','open','','2415-revision','','','2010-10-19 18:39:47','2010-10-20 01:39:47','',2415,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2415-revision/',0,'revision','',0),(2419,2,'2010-10-19 18:43:21','2010-10-20 01:43:21','','will sasso2','','inherit','open','open','','will-sasso2','','','2010-10-19 18:43:21','2010-10-20 01:43:21','',2415,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/will-sasso2.jpg',1,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2418,2,'2010-10-19 18:41:37','2010-10-20 01:41:37','<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2416 alignnone\" title=\"will-sasso-lead\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/will-sasso-lead.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"599\" height=\"282\" />\r\n\r\nCanadian-born actor <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0766005/\" target=\"_blank\">Will Sasso</a> is a funny, funny dude.

I mean I’ve seen disasters on set and Katherine – actually I don’t even know where the hell it comes from to be honest with you.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Really?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, and I always kind of go “well she was nice to me.” You know I’ll meet people who everyone else will think is a freak and I go, “well where did you get that?” and they’ll go “oh I read it in this magazine.”\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>And you know, there are some people that I’ve met that I’ve heard are nightmares and then they’re not, so yeah, I don’t effing know (laughs).\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laugh)\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>And to be honest with you I don’t care, like I really don’t care. When I show up on set if someone is a jerk I don’t care so long as they’re not a jerk to me. Having said that I did not witness one moment where Katherine wasn’t actually in a really good mood, enjoying doing the work.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you do a lot of voiceover work for shows like <em>Family Guy</em> and <em>The Cleveland Show</em>, how does your approach to that differ from the expressive, physical comedy that you normally perform?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>With voice it’s totally opposite. I’m not worried about what my face is doing at all when I’m doing voice stuff.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Right.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>As a matter of fact my face is doing very little. I am literally just kind of up in my head doing the voice. So yeah, it’s all about controlling the voice and exactly what it’s doing on those two shows and other ones that I’ve done and am doing now. Yeah, I’m always just worried about the voice.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you have to do a lot of that stuff in isolation, right? You’re not bouncing off other people or how does that usually go?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, it depends on the show. A lot of shows like to keep everybody together in the same room, bouncing off one another. And with a lot of other shows it’s just, come in, say these things and leave. I can do it either way. I actually kind of prefer just saying them one after another, because it allows you to really kind of focus on the voice and allow the director and the producers to worry about where it fits into the show.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Right.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>And you just get really specific direction, like “okay she just said so-and-so, so now you’ve got to react to that.”\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you have quite a few writing credits from your MADtv days and you also wrote a TV movie and served as a producer for upcoming projects like <em>For Christ’s Sake</em> and <em>The Legend of Awesomeus Maximus </em>do you think you want to do more writing and producing in the future?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, I mean I wrote a pilot last year at CBS, called <em>Waiting To Die</em>, I wrote and produced that. It was a lot of fun doing that. It was part of a Sony writing deal that I was in for a couple of years. Me and my good buddy Chad Kultgen wrote that one which CBS ended up buying and we ended up shooting there as a sitcom. But yeah, writing and producing was primarily what I … sort of up to really … not this previous year, just this year’s bad, but kind of 2 ½ years before that I was doing more writing and producing than acting, much more. So yeah, it’s something that I’ve kind of discovered in the past few years and it’s something that I’d like to do more of.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you were in Happy Gilmore right? I think you were like one of the moving guys making the bet that Adam Sandler couldn’t hit that shot.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Was that a fun set? I mean it seemed like it would be a fun movie to shoot.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, it was a gas. I mean it was Sandler’s second big movie behind Billy Madison, so yeah it was a lot of fun. He was a lot of fun to work with. He was really just super mellow. He’s kind of … he has a reputation for being a really mellow, nice guy and obviously he’s very funny, so yeah it was a lot of fun doing that.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> And how did you prepare for your 1993 role of “Classmate” on The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>I don’t know how the heck that ended up in my IMDB because I wasn’t in that.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Oh what? (Laughs) Oh man! I dug that up and was like “this is going to be a crazy story” but you weren’t even in there?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>That’s right.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> IMDB bollocks!\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah isn’t that weird?\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> That is weird. So do you have any other projects that you’re working on now?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah I’m working on a cartoon that my good buddy Tommy Blacha created and is writing. He created <em>Metalocalypse</em> on Adult Swim an now he has just created <em>Mongo Wrestling Alliance</em> for Adult Swim. So yeah, I’m doing that with him and that’s about it right now. Just working on the sitcom, I’m doing that show and having a good time.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> And the show’s been pretty well received so far, right? I mean I know it’s only been a brief time, but it seems like it’s already doing well, right?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah yeah, we opened as the number one new comedy of the year.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Nice!\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> And that’s there where I stop being interested in the ratings.','Will Sasso Interview','','inherit','open','open','','2415-revision-2','','','2010-10-19 18:41:37','2010-10-20 01:41:37','',2415,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2415-revision-2/',0,'revision','',0),(2420,2,'2010-10-19 18:43:42','2010-10-20 01:43:42','<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2416 alignnone\" title=\"will-sasso-lead\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/will-sasso-lead.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"599\" height=\"282\" />\n\nCanadian-born actor <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0766005/\" target=\"_blank\">Will Sasso</a> is a funny, funny dude. He stood out as one of the most talented cast members on MADtv for five solid seasons. Sasso’s knack for spot-on impressions and wacky physical comedy made him a fan favorite. Sasso has been acting since 1991, and in addition to his MADtv work, he’s also appeared in numerous films and sitcoms over the years.\n\nSasso’s newest effort, <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1612578/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>$#*! My Dad Says</em></a>, is a CBS comedy that’s based on Justin Halpert’s ultra-entertaining Twitter feed, <a href=\"http://twitter.com/#!/shitmydadsays\" target=\"_blank\">@shitmydadsays</a>. Justin’s Twitter profile  explains it all: “I\'m 29. I live with my 74-year-old dad. He is awesome. I just write down shit that he says.” Justin’s profile has over 1.7 million followers and has lead to a <a href=\"http://shitmydadsays.com/blog\" target=\"_blank\">blog</a>, a <a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Sh-t-My-Dad-Says/dp/0061992704/\" target=\"_blank\">book</a> and now this <a href=\"http://www.cbs.com/primetime/my_dad_says/\" target=\"_blank\">new sitcom</a> starring William Shatner, Sasso and MADtv vet Nicole Sullivan.\n\nI had a chance to speak with Sasso and we discussed his new show, working with Shatner, reuniting with Sullivan, Katherine Heigl, Jason Priestly and a bunch of other fun topics like his favorite Canadians of all time.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So tell me about your role on the new show Shat My Dad Says or Shit … what do you call it anyway?\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> It’s called Bleep My Dad Says, if you seen the way it’s written it’s got <em>$#*! My Dad Says</em> and we’re producing that bleep, so yeah it’s going really well (laughs) what do you want to know?\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Is Justin Halpert involved in the day to day writing of the show or not so much?\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> Yeah he’s one of the executive producers and he’s written – I think him and his writing partner Patrick have written I think 3 of the first 8 episodes. Justin is also one of our bosses so he’s very involved in every single script, he’s one of the executive producers along with his writing partner Patrick Schumaker and of course Max Mutchnick and David Kohan are the executive producers who pre-dated Will and Grace so it’s all four of those guys.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> That’s cool. So what do you think of the whole Twitter-inspired TV / TV-imitating-web-imitating-life situation?\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> I think it’s really interesting. For years writers have based their sitcoms and 1 hour dramas – all sorts of stuff on TV actually – on their lives. This is the first time where an audience can actually go back and track it.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Yeah (Laughs).\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> What has happened and what a writer cares to put in and leave out. I mean you can actually check in with us, if you’re been following the Twitter feed you can see how accurate Ed’s barbs are to Justin’s real father Sam’s barbs and that sort of thing. So I think that really makes it interesting, it really makes it an interesting way to conceive and execute a television show. Sam is still a wealth of material obviously for his son Justin. So yeah that’s definitely coming through in the show and I think it’s interesting from an audience standpoint of what you’re able to do, you’re able to actually go back and see it.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So are you happy to be working with Nicole Sullivan again?\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> Yeah. Oh yeah, of course yeah I mean that’s kind of a dream come true there because we’re pals and we’ve work together on MadTV starting over a decade ago so yeah that’s kind of … you know it’s familiar in a really great way and it’s just unbelievable. We really do know each other’s rhythms and what the other may do at this point or that point and it’s a lot of fun, it’s a real treat. I kind of can’t believe it sometimes, I kind of pinch myself that I get to do that.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> That’s cool. So is William Shatner totally nuts?\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> You mean <em>totally</em> nuts?\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Yeah.\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> Not totally nuts.\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>CS: </strong>Just a little bit off? (laughs)\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> Barely actually. You know, it’s funny, I mean here’s a guy that’s been in the business for over 50 years and you’d expect that someone like that would either be maybe not at all interested in the day to day happenings of a show – and 50 years is a very long time obviously, he’s been doing it longer than most of the people in the show have been alive, so you’d expect that, but Bill is a real actor through and through. It’s interesting for a guy like that, but he’s literally about every scene and every line and every word and making sure it’s good and making sure that relationships play and are three-dimensional and that it’s really funny. He was already one of my heroes, but now it’s like he might be my overall showbiz hero. When I’m his age I want to be doing that.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Okay so you do a lot of awesome impressions; you’ve got Steven Segal, Tony Soprano, Randy Newman, Kenny Rodgers, De Niro, even Shatner. I recently saw this Kevin Pollack standup set where he talks about meeting the people he impersonates. Do you have any funny stories about meeting the people you’ve made fun of in the past? Or specifically Shatner, I guess, because you guys are working together now.\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> You know it’s funny, Bill has never seen my impression of him.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Really?\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> Yeah, he’s never seen it. I mean I’ve never done it for him or anything like that so no, I mean if I have it my way it will stay that way you know? (laughs)\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> (Laughs) Yeah, right.\n\n<strong><img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2419\" title=\"will sasso2\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/will-sasso2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"311\" height=\"406\" />WS:</strong> He’ll never see it. But yeah as far as meeting – I’ve met a bunch of people I used to impersonate on MadTV. I’ve impersonated – man I’ve met a few of them. I met James Gandolfini, I used to do an impression of Fred Durst and I met him, I used to do an impression of Dwayne Johnson and I met him. Yeah, I can’t remember some of the other ones. Lance Bass from ‘Nsync, I used to do an impression of him and I met him. It’s usually kind of like you talk about it for a couple of seconds and it sort of becomes an afterthought, most people don’t really want to talk about it you know what I mean? Like some impression you’ve done of them it’s kind of odd when you think about it.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> I can’t imagine Gandolfini being like “do it, do it, come on I want to see.”\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> Yeah no, not that kind of guy (laughs).\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you grew up in Canada and you went to school with Jason Priestly, were you guys like the real life 90210 in British Colombia?\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> He left the school well before I got there. I think he was gone – well not <em>well</em> before but he’s probably like 10 years older than me or something like that so he was out of there just like a couple years before I got there. So I actually only met him once, I met him like 2 years ago in L.A. It was funny because we were both like “hey” because we’ve always heard a bunch about the other person from other people.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Right.\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> But yeah we just kind of talked for a few minutes about our drama teacher, Eileen Joe, and that was pretty much it (laughs).\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So who are some of your all time favorite Canadians?\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> Boy, I guess yeah I would say Bill, I like Bill. John Candy is my idol, I love him. There are too many to count, Terry Fox, Michal J. Fox, the entire cast of SCTV, you know. The Canadian ones at least.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> (Laughs)\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> And the non-Canadian ones for that matter. I grew up watching that and then later on watching “Kids of the Hall” those guys are all favorite Canadians of mine. Gee whiz I don’t know … I would say John Candy and Terry Fox, if I had to pick a couple of favorite Canadians.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So how did you get started in sketch comedy? Did you start off doing improv or standup? How did you gravitate towards the sketch performance?\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> You know it’s funny, I never did improv or standup.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Really?\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> I’ve been fortunate enough to just sort of be acting, doing a bunch of film and TV from the time I was like 16, so it was sort of a natural progression from there. Then I moved to L.A. when I was 20 or 21 years old and I guess a little after that. I started doing MADtv when I was 22. It was just, you know, they were cleaning out half the cast after the second season. So you’re kind of going in there, doing their material, writing your own material, coming in with characters, and those things led to something that I thought I’d really like to do. So yeah, you know you audition for – I think the audition process was a couple months of coming back and getting up another rung and another rung, and finally at the end it’s like you and two other guys and you’ve got to beat those guys too. So yeah it’s funny, I never really did standup and I don’t come from an improv background, I kind of came at it as an actor.\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So your Twitter account says that you’re the actor that played the guy’s friend in that thing. Tell us about your role in the new film <em>Life As We Know It.</em>\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>(laughs) Well, in <em>Life As We Know It,</em> I play one of six neighbors, these three couples who come by to dispense parental advice to Josh Duhamel and Katherine Heigl. In the flick they become the foster parents to this baby who is left behind by Hayes MacArthur and Christina Hendricks and yeah so I’m one of six. Speaking of improve, we did a bunch of improv in that film. Not a lot of it ends up on the screen. I mean when you’re shooting a feature film and you’re improving a lot, it’s interesting to see what ends up in the cut. The six of us were all sort of familiar with improv and enjoyed improvising together. We play the neighbors in the film where we’re in the neighborhood and we’re always dropping by, that kind of thing.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So is Katherine Heigl as high maintenance as she comes off in person or not so much?\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>No, not at all actually. It’s funny because I have a really good friend who worked with her on a film that she made just before this one, and I remember them saying “oh you’ll like Katie, she’s a real kick in the pants, she’s cool.” And she was really cool. I mean I’ve seen disasters on set and Katherine – actually I don’t even know where the hell it comes from to be honest with you.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Really?\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, and I always kind of go “well she was nice to me.” You know I’ll meet people who everyone else will think is a freak and I go, “well where did you get that?” and they’ll go “oh I read it in this magazine.”\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs)\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>And you know, there are some people that I’ve met that I’ve heard are nightmares and then they’re not, so yeah, I don’t effing know (laughs).\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laugh)\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>And to be honest with you I don’t care, like I really don’t care. When I show up on set if someone is a jerk I don’t care so long as they’re not a jerk to me. Having said that I did not witness one moment where Katherine wasn’t actually in a really good mood, enjoying doing the work.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you do a lot of voiceover work for shows like <em>Family Guy</em> and <em>The Cleveland Show</em>, how does your approach to that differ from the expressive, physical comedy that you normally perform?\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>With voice it’s totally opposite.

Or specifically Shatner, I guess, because you guys are working together now.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> You know it’s funny, Bill has never seen my impression of him.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Really?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> Yeah, he’s never seen it. I mean I’ve never done it for him or anything like that so no, I mean if I have it my way it will stay that way you know? (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (Laughs) Yeah, right.\r\n\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2419\" title=\"will sasso2\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/will-sasso2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"299\" height=\"388\" />WS:</strong> He’ll never see it. But yeah as far as meeting – I’ve met a bunch of people I used to impersonate on MadTV. I’ve impersonated – man I’ve met a few of them. I met James Gandolfini, I used to do an impression of Fred Durst and I met him, I used to do an impression of Dwayne Johnson and I met him. Yeah, I can’t remember some of the other ones. Lance Bass from ‘Nsync, I used to do an impression of him and I met him. It’s usually kind of like you talk about it for a couple of seconds and it sort of becomes an afterthought, most people don’t really want to talk about it you know what I mean? Like some impression you’ve done of them it’s kind of odd when you think about it.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> I can’t imagine Gandolfini being like “do it, do it, come on I want to see.”\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> Yeah no, not that kind of guy (laughs).\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you grew up in Canada and you went to school with Jason Priestly, were you guys like the real life 90210 in British Colombia?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> He left the school well before I got there. I think he was gone – well not <em>well</em> before but he’s probably like 10 years older than me or something like that so he was out of there just like a couple years before I got there. So I actually only met him once, I met him like 2 years ago in L.A. It was funny because we were both like “hey” because we’ve always heard a bunch about the other person from other people.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Right.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> But yeah we just kind of talked for a few minutes about our drama teacher, Eileen Joe, and that was pretty much it (laughs).\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So who are some of your all time favorite Canadians?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> Boy, I guess yeah I would say Bill, I like Bill. John Candy is my idol, I love him. There are too many to count, Terry Fox, Michal J. Fox, the entire cast of SCTV, you know. The Canadian ones at least.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (Laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> And the non-Canadian ones for that matter. I grew up watching that and then later on watching “Kids of the Hall” those guys are all favorite Canadians of mine. Gee whiz I don’t know … I would say John Candy and Terry Fox, if I had to pick a couple of favorite Canadians.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So how did you get started in sketch comedy? Did you start off doing improv or standup? How did you gravitate towards the sketch performance?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> You know it’s funny, I never did improv or standup.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Really?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> I’ve been fortunate enough to just sort of be acting, doing a bunch of film and TV from the time I was like 16, so it was sort of a natural progression from there. Then I moved to L.A. when I was 20 or 21 years old and I guess a little after that. I started doing MADtv when I was 22. It was just, you know, they were cleaning out half the cast after the second season. So you’re kind of going in there, doing their material, writing your own material, coming in with characters, and those things led to something that I thought I’d really like to do. So yeah, you know you audition for – I think the audition process was a couple months of coming back and getting up another rung and another rung, and finally at the end it’s like you and two other guys and you’ve got to beat those guys too. So yeah it’s funny, I never really did standup and I don’t come from an improv background, I kind of came at it as an actor.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So your Twitter account says that you’re the actor that played the guy’s friend in that thing. Tell us about your role in the new film <em>Life As We Know It.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>(laughs) Well, in <em>Life As We Know It,</em> I play one of six neighbors, these three couples who come by to dispense parental advice to Josh Duhamel and Katherine Heigl. In the flick they become the foster parents to this baby who is left behind by Hayes MacArthur and Christina Hendricks and yeah so I’m one of six. Speaking of improve, we did a bunch of improv in that film. Not a lot of it ends up on the screen. I mean when you’re shooting a feature film and you’re improving a lot, it’s interesting to see what ends up in the cut. The six of us were all sort of familiar with improv and enjoyed improvising together. We play the neighbors in the film where we’re in the neighborhood and we’re always dropping by, that kind of thing.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So is Katherine Heigl as high maintenance as she comes off in person or not so much?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>No, not at all actually. It’s funny because I have a really good friend who worked with her on a film that she made just before this one, and I remember them saying “oh you’ll like Katie, she’s a real kick in the pants, she’s cool.” And she was really cool. I mean I’ve seen disasters on set and Katherine – actually I don’t even know where the hell it comes from to be honest with you.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Really?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, and I always kind of go “well she was nice to me.” You know I’ll meet people who everyone else will think is a freak and I go, “well where did you get that?” and they’ll go “oh I read it in this magazine.”\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>And you know, there are some people that I’ve met that I’ve heard are nightmares and then they’re not, so yeah, I don’t effing know (laughs).\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laugh)\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>And to be honest with you I don’t care, like I really don’t care. When I show up on set if someone is a jerk I don’t care so long as they’re not a jerk to me. Having said that I did not witness one moment where Katherine wasn’t actually in a really good mood, enjoying doing the work.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you do a lot of voiceover work for shows like <em>Family Guy</em> and <em>The Cleveland Show</em>, how does your approach to that differ from the expressive, physical comedy that you normally perform?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>With voice it’s totally opposite. I’m not worried about what my face is doing at all when I’m doing voice stuff.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Right.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>As a matter of fact my face is doing very little. I am literally just kind of up in my head doing the voice. So yeah, it’s all about controlling the voice and exactly what it’s doing on those two shows and other ones that I’ve done and am doing now. Yeah, I’m always just worried about the voice.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you have to do a lot of that stuff in isolation, right? You’re not bouncing off other people or how does that usually go?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, it depends on the show. A lot of shows like to keep everybody together in the same room, bouncing off one another. And with a lot of other shows it’s just, come in, say these things and leave. I can do it either way. I actually kind of prefer just saying them one after another, because it allows you to really kind of focus on the voice and allow the director and the producers to worry about where it fits into the show.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Right.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>And you just get really specific direction, like “okay she just said so-and-so, so now you’ve got to react to that.”\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you have quite a few writing credits from your MADtv days and you also wrote a TV movie and served as a producer for upcoming projects like <em>For Christ’s Sake</em> and <em>The Legend of Awesomeus Maximus </em>do you think you want to do more writing and producing in the future?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, I mean I wrote a pilot last year at CBS, called <em>Waiting To Die</em>, I wrote and produced that. It was a lot of fun doing that. It was part of a Sony writing deal that I was in for a couple of years. Me and my good buddy Chad Kultgen wrote that one which CBS ended up buying and we ended up shooting there as a sitcom. But yeah, writing and producing was primarily what I … sort of up to really … not this previous year, just this year’s bad, but kind of 2 ½ years before that I was doing more writing and producing than acting, much more. So yeah, it’s something that I’ve kind of discovered in the past few years and it’s something that I’d like to do more of.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you were in Happy Gilmore right? I think you were like one of the moving guys making the bet that Adam Sandler couldn’t hit that shot.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Was that a fun set? I mean it seemed like it would be a fun movie to shoot.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, it was a gas. I mean it was Sandler’s second big movie behind Billy Madison, so yeah it was a lot of fun. He was a lot of fun to work with. He was really just super mellow. He’s kind of … he has a reputation for being a really mellow, nice guy and obviously he’s very funny, so yeah it was a lot of fun doing that.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> And how did you prepare for your 1993 role of “Classmate” on The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>I don’t know how the heck that ended up in my IMDB because I wasn’t in that.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Oh what? (Laughs) Oh man! I dug that up and was like “this is going to be a crazy story” but you weren’t even in there?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>That’s right.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> IMDB bollocks!\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah isn’t that weird?\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> That is weird. So do you have any other projects that you’re working on now?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah I’m working on a cartoon that my good buddy Tommy Blacha created and is writing. He created <em>Metalocalypse</em> on Adult Swim an now he has just created <em>Mongo Wrestling Alliance</em> for Adult Swim. So yeah, I’m doing that with him and that’s about it right now. Just working on the sitcom, I’m doing that show and having a good time.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> And the show’s been pretty well received so far, right? I mean I know it’s only been a brief time, but it seems like it’s already doing well, right?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah yeah, we opened as the number one new comedy of the year.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Nice!\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> And that’s there where I stop being interested in the ratings.','Will Sasso Interview','','inherit','open','open','','2415-revision-4','','','2010-10-19 18:43:54','2010-10-20 01:43:54','',2415,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2415-revision-4/',0,'revision','',0),(2422,2,'2010-10-19 18:44:03','2010-10-20 01:44:03','<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2416 alignnone\" title=\"will-sasso-lead\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/will-sasso-lead.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"599\" height=\"282\" />\r\n\r\nCanadian-born actor <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0766005/\" target=\"_blank\">Will Sasso</a> is a funny, funny dude. He stood out as one of the most talented cast members on MADtv for five solid seasons. Sasso’s knack for spot-on impressions and wacky physical comedy made him a fan favorite. Sasso has been acting since 1991, and in addition to his MADtv work, he’s also appeared in numerous films and sitcoms over the years.\r\n\r\nSasso’s newest effort, <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1612578/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>$#*! My Dad Says</em></a>, is a CBS comedy that’s based on Justin Halpert’s ultra-entertaining Twitter feed, <a href=\"http://twitter.com/#!/shitmydadsays\" target=\"_blank\">@shitmydadsays</a>. Justin’s Twitter profile  explains it all: “I\'m 29. I live with my 74-year-old dad. He is awesome. I just write down shit that he says.” Justin’s profile has over 1.7 million followers and has lead to a <a href=\"http://shitmydadsays.com/blog\" target=\"_blank\">blog</a>, a <a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Sh-t-My-Dad-Says/dp/0061992704/\" target=\"_blank\">book</a> and now this <a href=\"http://www.cbs.com/primetime/my_dad_says/\" target=\"_blank\">new sitcom</a> starring William Shatner, Sasso and MADtv vet Nicole Sullivan.\r\n\r\nI had a chance to speak with Sasso and we discussed his new show, working with Shatner, reuniting with Sullivan, Katherine Heigl, Jason Priestly and a bunch of other fun topics like his favorite Canadians of all time.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So tell me about your role on the new show Shat My Dad Says or Shit … what do you call it anyway?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> It’s called Bleep My Dad Says, if you seen the way it’s written it’s got <em>$#*! My Dad Says</em> and we’re producing that bleep, so yeah it’s going really well (laughs) what do you want to know?\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Is Justin Halpert involved in the day to day writing of the show or not so much?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> Yeah he’s one of the executive producers and he’s written – I think him and his writing partner Patrick have written I think 3 of the first 8 episodes. Justin is also one of our bosses so he’s very involved in every single script, he’s one of the executive producers along with his writing partner Patrick Schumaker and of course Max Mutchnick and David Kohan are the executive producers who pre-dated Will and Grace so it’s all four of those guys.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> That’s cool. So what do you think of the whole Twitter-inspired TV / TV-imitating-web-imitating-life situation?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> I think it’s really interesting. For years writers have based their sitcoms and 1 hour dramas – all sorts of stuff on TV actually – on their lives. This is the first time where an audience can actually go back and track it.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Yeah (Laughs).\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> What has happened and what a writer cares to put in and leave out. I mean you can actually check in with us, if you’re been following the Twitter feed you can see how accurate Ed’s barbs are to Justin’s real father Sam’s barbs and that sort of thing. So I think that really makes it interesting, it really makes it an interesting way to conceive and execute a television show. Sam is still a wealth of material obviously for his son Justin. So yeah that’s definitely coming through in the show and I think it’s interesting from an audience standpoint of what you’re able to do, you’re able to actually go back and see it.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So are you happy to be working with Nicole Sullivan again?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> Yeah. Oh yeah, of course yeah I mean that’s kind of a dream come true there because we’re pals and we’ve work together on MadTV starting over a decade ago so yeah that’s kind of … you know it’s familiar in a really great way and it’s just unbelievable. We really do know each other’s rhythms and what the other may do at this point or that point and it’s a lot of fun, it’s a real treat. I kind of can’t believe it sometimes, I kind of pinch myself that I get to do that.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> That’s cool. So is William Shatner totally nuts?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> You mean <em>totally</em> nuts?\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Yeah.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> Not totally nuts.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>CS: </strong>Just a little bit off? (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> Barely actually. You know, it’s funny, I mean here’s a guy that’s been in the business for over 50 years and you’d expect that someone like that would either be maybe not at all interested in the day to day happenings of a show – and 50 years is a very long time obviously, he’s been doing it longer than most of the people in the show have been alive, so you’d expect that, but Bill is a real actor through and through. It’s interesting for a guy like that, but he’s literally about every scene and every line and every word and making sure it’s good and making sure that relationships play and are three-dimensional and that it’s really funny. He was already one of my heroes, but now it’s like he might be my overall showbiz hero. When I’m his age I want to be doing that.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Okay so you do a lot of awesome impressions; you’ve got Steven Segal, Tony Soprano, Randy Newman, Kenny Rodgers, De Niro, even Shatner. I recently saw this Kevin Pollack standup set where he talks about meeting the people he impersonates. Do you have any funny stories about meeting the people you’ve made fun of in the past?

But yeah as far as meeting – I’ve met a bunch of people I used to impersonate on MadTV. I’ve impersonated – man I’ve met a few of them.

He stood out as one of the most talented cast members on MADtv for five solid seasons. Sasso’s knack for spot-on impressions and wacky physical comedy made him a fan favorite. Sasso has been acting since 1991, and in addition to his MADtv work, he’s also appeared in numerous films and sitcoms over the years.\r\n\r\nSasso’s newest effort, <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1612578/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>$#*! My Dad Says</em></a>, is a CBS comedy that’s based on Justin Halpert’s ultra-entertaining Twitter feed, <a href=\"http://twitter.com/#!/shitmydadsays\" target=\"_blank\">@shitmydadsays</a>. Justin’s Twitter profile  explains it all: “I\'m 29. I live with my 74-year-old dad. He is awesome. I just write down shit that he says.” Justin’s profile has over 1.7 million followers and has lead to a <a href=\"http://shitmydadsays.com/blog\" target=\"_blank\">blog</a>, a <a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Sh-t-My-Dad-Says/dp/0061992704/\" target=\"_blank\">book</a> and now this <a href=\"http://www.cbs.com/primetime/my_dad_says/\" target=\"_blank\">new sitcom</a> starring William Shatner, Sasso and MADtv vet Nicole Sullivan.\r\n\r\nI had a chance to speak with Sasso and we discussed his new show, working with Shatner, reuniting with Sullivan, Katherine Heigl, Jason Priestly and a bunch of other fun topics like his favorite Canadians of all time.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So tell me about your role on the new show Shat My Dad Says or Shit … what do you call it anyway?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> It’s called Bleep My Dad Says, if you seen the way it’s written it’s got <em>$#*! My Dad Says</em> and we’re producing that bleep, so yeah it’s going really well (laughs) what do you want to know?\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Is Justin Halpert involved in the day to day writing of the show or not so much?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> Yeah he’s one of the executive producers and he’s written – I think him and his writing partner Patrick have written I think 3 of the first 8 episodes. Justin is also one of our bosses so he’s very involved in every single script, he’s one of the executive producers along with his writing partner Patrick Schumaker and of course Max Mutchnick and David Kohan are the executive producers who pre-dated Will and Grace so it’s all four of those guys.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> That’s cool. So what do you think of the whole Twitter-inspired TV / TV-imitating-web-imitating-life situation?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> I think it’s really interesting. For years writers have based their sitcoms and 1 hour dramas – all sorts of stuff on TV actually – on their lives. This is the first time where an audience can actually go back and track it.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Yeah (Laughs).\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> What has happened and what a writer cares to put in and leave out. I mean you can actually check in with us, if you’re been following the Twitter feed you can see how accurate Ed’s barbs are to Justin’s real father Sam’s barbs and that sort of thing. So I think that really makes it interesting, it really makes it an interesting way to conceive and execute a television show. Sam is still a wealth of material obviously for his son Justin. So yeah that’s definitely coming through in the show and I think it’s interesting from an audience standpoint of what you’re able to do, you’re able to actually go back and see it.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So are you happy to be working with Nicole Sullivan again?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> Yeah. Oh yeah, of course yeah I mean that’s kind of a dream come true there because we’re pals and we’ve work together on MadTV starting over a decade ago so yeah that’s kind of … you know it’s familiar in a really great way and it’s just unbelievable. We really do know each other’s rhythms and what the other may do at this point or that point and it’s a lot of fun, it’s a real treat. I kind of can’t believe it sometimes, I kind of pinch myself that I get to do that.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> That’s cool. So is William Shatner totally nuts?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> You mean <em>totally</em> nuts?\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Yeah.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> Not totally nuts.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>CS: </strong>Just a little bit off? (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> Barely actually. You know, it’s funny, I mean here’s a guy that’s been in the business for over 50 years and you’d expect that someone like that would either be maybe not at all interested in the day to day happenings of a show – and 50 years is a very long time obviously, he’s been doing it longer than most of the people in the show have been alive, so you’d expect that, but Bill is a real actor through and through. It’s interesting for a guy like that, but he’s literally about every scene and every line and every word and making sure it’s good and making sure that relationships play and are three-dimensional and that it’s really funny. He was already one of my heroes, but now it’s like he might be my overall showbiz hero. When I’m his age I want to be doing that.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Okay so you do a lot of awesome impressions; you’ve got Steven Segal, Tony Soprano, Randy Newman, Kenny Rodgers, De Niro, even Shatner. I recently saw this Kevin Pollack standup set where he talks about meeting the people he impersonates. Do you have any funny stories about meeting the people you’ve made fun of in the past? Or specifically Shatner, I guess, because you guys are working together now.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> You know it’s funny, Bill has never seen my impression of him.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Really?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> Yeah, he’s never seen it. I mean I’ve never done it for him or anything like that so no, I mean if I have it my way it will stay that way you know? (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (Laughs) Yeah, right.\r\n\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2419\" title=\"will sasso2\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/will-sasso2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"299\" height=\"388\" />WS:</strong> He’ll never see it. But yeah as far as meeting – I’ve met a bunch of people I used to impersonate on MadTV. I’ve impersonated – man I’ve met a few of them. I met James Gandolfini, I used to do an impression of Fred Durst and I met him, I used to do an impression of Dwayne Johnson and I met him. Yeah, I can’t remember some of the other ones. Lance Bass from ‘Nsync, I used to do an impression of him and I met him. It’s usually kind of like you talk about it for a couple of seconds and it sort of becomes an afterthought, most people don’t really want to talk about it you know what I mean? Like some impression you’ve done of them it’s kind of odd when you think about it.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> I can’t imagine Gandolfini being like “do it, do it, come on I want to see.”\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> Yeah no, not that kind of guy (laughs).\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you grew up in Canada and you went to school with Jason Priestly, were you guys like the real life 90210 in British Colombia?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> He left the school well before I got there. I think he was gone – well not <em>well</em> before but he’s probably like 10 years older than me or something like that so he was out of there just like a couple years before I got there. So I actually only met him once, I met him like 2 years ago in L.A. It was funny because we were both like “hey” because we’ve always heard a bunch about the other person from other people.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Right.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> But yeah we just kind of talked for a few minutes about our drama teacher, Eileen Joe, and that was pretty much it (laughs).\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So who are some of your all time favorite Canadians?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> Boy, I guess yeah I would say Bill, I like Bill. John Candy is my idol, I love him. There are too many to count, Terry Fox, Michal J. Fox, the entire cast of SCTV, you know. The Canadian ones at least.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (Laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> And the non-Canadian ones for that matter. I grew up watching that and then later on watching “Kids of the Hall” those guys are all favorite Canadians of mine. Gee whiz I don’t know … I would say John Candy and Terry Fox, if I had to pick a couple of favorite Canadians.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So how did you get started in sketch comedy? Did you start off doing improv or standup? How did you gravitate towards the sketch performance?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> You know it’s funny, I never did improv or standup.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Really?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> I’ve been fortunate enough to just sort of be acting, doing a bunch of film and TV from the time I was like 16, so it was sort of a natural progression from there. Then I moved to L.A. when I was 20 or 21 years old and I guess a little after that. I started doing MADtv when I was 22. It was just, you know, they were cleaning out half the cast after the second season. So you’re kind of going in there, doing their material, writing your own material, coming in with characters, and those things led to something that I thought I’d really like to do. So yeah, you know you audition for – I think the audition process was a couple months of coming back and getting up another rung and another rung, and finally at the end it’s like you and two other guys and you’ve got to beat those guys too. So yeah it’s funny, I never really did standup and I don’t come from an improv background, I kind of came at it as an actor.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So your Twitter account says that you’re the actor that played the guy’s friend in that thing. Tell us about your role in the new film <em>Life As We Know It.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>(laughs) Well, in <em>Life As We Know It,</em> I play one of six neighbors, these three couples who come by to dispense parental advice to Josh Duhamel and Katherine Heigl. In the flick they become the foster parents to this baby who is left behind by Hayes MacArthur and Christina Hendricks and yeah so I’m one of six. Speaking of improve, we did a bunch of improv in that film. Not a lot of it ends up on the screen. I mean when you’re shooting a feature film and you’re improving a lot, it’s interesting to see what ends up in the cut. The six of us were all sort of familiar with improv and enjoyed improvising together. We play the neighbors in the film where we’re in the neighborhood and we’re always dropping by, that kind of thing.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So is Katherine Heigl as high maintenance as she comes off in person or not so much?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>No, not at all actually. It’s funny because I have a really good friend who worked with her on a film that she made just before this one, and I remember them saying “oh you’ll like Katie, she’s a real kick in the pants, she’s cool.” And she was really cool. I mean I’ve seen disasters on set and Katherine – actually I don’t even know where the hell it comes from to be honest with you.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Really?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, and I always kind of go “well she was nice to me.” You know I’ll meet people who everyone else will think is a freak and I go, “well where did you get that?” and they’ll go “oh I read it in this magazine.”\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>And you know, there are some people that I’ve met that I’ve heard are nightmares and then they’re not, so yeah, I don’t effing know (laughs).\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laugh)\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>And to be honest with you I don’t care, like I really don’t care. When I show up on set if someone is a jerk I don’t care so long as they’re not a jerk to me. Having said that I did not witness one moment where Katherine wasn’t actually in a really good mood, enjoying doing the work.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you do a lot of voiceover work for shows like <em>Family Guy</em> and <em>The Cleveland Show</em>, how does your approach to that differ from the expressive, physical comedy that you normally perform?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>With voice it’s totally opposite. I’m not worried about what my face is doing at all when I’m doing voice stuff.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Right.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>As a matter of fact my face is doing very little. I am literally just kind of up in my head doing the voice. So yeah, it’s all about controlling the voice and exactly what it’s doing on those two shows and other ones that I’ve done and am doing now. Yeah, I’m always just worried about the voice.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you have to do a lot of that stuff in isolation, right? You’re not bouncing off other people or how does that usually go?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, it depends on the show. A lot of shows like to keep everybody together in the same room, bouncing off one another. And with a lot of other shows it’s just, come in, say these things and leave. I can do it either way. I actually kind of prefer just saying them one after another, because it allows you to really kind of focus on the voice and allow the director and the producers to worry about where it fits into the show.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Right.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>And you just get really specific direction, like “okay she just said so-and-so, so now you’ve got to react to that.”\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you have quite a few writing credits from your MADtv days and you also wrote a TV movie and served as a producer for upcoming projects like <em>For Christ’s Sake</em> and <em>The Legend of Awesomeus Maximus </em>do you think you want to do more writing and producing in the future?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, I mean I wrote a pilot last year at CBS, called <em>Waiting To Die</em>, I wrote and produced that. It was a lot of fun doing that. It was part of a Sony writing deal that I was in for a couple of years. Me and my good buddy Chad Kultgen wrote that one which CBS ended up buying and we ended up shooting there as a sitcom. But yeah, writing and producing was primarily what I … sort of up to really … not this previous year, just this year’s bad, but kind of 2 ½ years before that I was doing more writing and producing than acting, much more. So yeah, it’s something that I’ve kind of discovered in the past few years and it’s something that I’d like to do more of.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you were in Happy Gilmore right? I think you were like one of the moving guys making the bet that Adam Sandler couldn’t hit that shot.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Was that a fun set? I mean it seemed like it would be a fun movie to shoot.\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, it was a gas. I mean it was Sandler’s second big movie behind Billy Madison, so yeah it was a lot of fun. He was a lot of fun to work with. He was really just super mellow. He’s kind of … he has a reputation for being a really mellow, nice guy and obviously he’s very funny, so yeah it was a lot of fun doing that.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> And how did you prepare for your 1993 role of “Classmate” on The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>I don’t know how the heck that ended up in my IMDB because I wasn’t in that.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Oh what? (Laughs) Oh man! I dug that up and was like “this is going to be a crazy story” but you weren’t even in there?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>That’s right.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> IMDB bollocks!\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah isn’t that weird?\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> That is weird. So do you have any other projects that you’re working on now?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah I’m working on a cartoon that my good buddy Tommy Blacha created and is writing. He created <em>Metalocalypse</em> on Adult Swim an now he has just created <em>Mongo Wrestling Alliance</em> for Adult Swim. So yeah, I’m doing that with him and that’s about it right now. Just working on the sitcom, I’m doing that show and having a good time.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> And the show’s been pretty well received so far, right? I mean I know it’s only been a brief time, but it seems like it’s already doing well, right?\r\n\r\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah yeah, we opened as the number one new comedy of the year.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Nice!\r\n\r\n<strong>WS:</strong> And that’s there where I stop being interested in the ratings.','Will Sasso Interview','','inherit','open','open','','2415-revision-6','','','2010-10-19 18:44:47','2010-10-20 01:44:47','',2415,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2415-revision-6/',0,'revision','',0),(2424,2,'2011-02-07 17:29:01','2011-02-08 01:29:01','<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2416 alignnone\" title=\"will-sasso-lead\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/will-sasso-lead.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"599\" height=\"282\" />\n\nCanadian-born actor <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0766005/\" target=\"_blank\">Will Sasso</a> is a funny, funny dude.

I mean when you’re shooting a feature film and you’re improving a lot, it’s interesting to see what ends up in the cut. The six of us were all sort of familiar with improv and enjoyed improvising together. We play the neighbors in the film where we’re in the neighborhood and we’re always dropping by, that kind of thing.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So is Katherine Heigl as high maintenance as she comes off in person or not so much?\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>No, not at all actually. It’s funny because I have a really good friend who worked with her on a film that she made just before this one, and I remember them saying “oh you’ll like Katie, she’s a real kick in the pants, she’s cool.” And she was really cool. I mean I’ve seen disasters on set and Katherine – actually I don’t even know where the hell it comes from to be honest with you.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Really?\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, and I always kind of go “well she was nice to me.” You know I’ll meet people who everyone else will think is a freak and I go, “well where did you get that?” and they’ll go “oh I read it in this magazine.”\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs)\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>And you know, there are some people that I’ve met that I’ve heard are nightmares and then they’re not, so yeah, I don’t effing know (laughs).\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laugh)\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>And to be honest with you I don’t care, like I really don’t care. When I show up on set if someone is a jerk I don’t care so long as they’re not a jerk to me. Having said that I did not witness one moment where Katherine wasn’t actually in a really good mood, enjoying doing the work.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you do a lot of voiceover work for shows like <em>Family Guy</em> and <em>The Cleveland Show</em>, how does your approach to that differ from the expressive, physical comedy that you normally perform?\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>With voice it’s totally opposite. I’m not worried about what my face is doing at all when I’m doing voice stuff.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Right.\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>As a matter of fact my face is doing very little. I am literally just kind of up in my head doing the voice. So yeah, it’s all about controlling the voice and exactly what it’s doing on those two shows and other ones that I’ve done and am doing now. Yeah, I’m always just worried about the voice.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you have to do a lot of that stuff in isolation, right? You’re not bouncing off other people or how does that usually go?\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, it depends on the show. A lot of shows like to keep everybody together in the same room, bouncing off one another. And with a lot of other shows it’s just, come in, say these things and leave. I can do it either way. I actually kind of prefer just saying them one after another, because it allows you to really kind of focus on the voice and allow the director and the producers to worry about where it fits into the show.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Right.\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>And you just get really specific direction, like “okay she just said so-and-so, so now you’ve got to react to that.”\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you have quite a few writing credits from your MADtv days and you also wrote a TV movie and served as a producer for upcoming projects like <em>For Christ’s Sake</em> and <em>The Legend of Awesomeus Maximus </em>do you think you want to do more writing and producing in the future?\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, I mean I wrote a pilot last year at CBS, called <em>Waiting To Die</em>, I wrote and produced that. It was a lot of fun doing that. It was part of a Sony writing deal that I was in for a couple of years. Me and my good buddy Chad Kultgen wrote that one which CBS ended up buying and we ended up shooting there as a sitcom. But yeah, writing and producing was primarily what I … sort of up to really … not this previous year, just this year’s bad, but kind of 2 ½ years before that I was doing more writing and producing than acting, much more. So yeah, it’s something that I’ve kind of discovered in the past few years and it’s something that I’d like to do more of.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you were in Happy Gilmore right? I think you were like one of the moving guys making the bet that Adam Sandler couldn’t hit that shot.\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Was that a fun set? I mean it seemed like it would be a fun movie to shoot.\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah, it was a gas. I mean it was Sandler’s second big movie behind Billy Madison, so yeah it was a lot of fun. He was a lot of fun to work with. He was really just super mellow. He’s kind of … he has a reputation for being a really mellow, nice guy and obviously he’s very funny, so yeah it was a lot of fun doing that.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> And how did you prepare for your 1993 role of “Classmate” on The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air?\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>I don’t know how the heck that ended up in my IMDB because I wasn’t in that.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Oh what? (Laughs) Oh man! I dug that up and was like “this is going to be a crazy story” but you weren’t even in there?\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>That’s right.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> IMDB bollocks!\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah isn’t that weird?\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> That is weird. So do you have any other projects that you’re working on now?\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah I’m working on a cartoon that my good buddy Tommy Blacha created and is writing. He created <em>Metalocalypse</em> on Adult Swim an now he has just created <em>Mongo Wrestling Alliance</em> for Adult Swim. So yeah, I’m doing that with him and that’s about it right now. Just working on the sitcom, I’m doing that show and having a good time.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> And the show’s been pretty well received so far, right? I mean I know it’s only been a brief time, but it seems like it’s already doing well, right?\n\n<strong>WS: </strong>Yeah yeah, we opened as the number one new comedy of the year.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Nice!\n\n<strong>WS:</strong> And that’s there where I stop being interested in the ratings.','Will Sasso Interview','','inherit','open','open','','2415-autosave','','','2011-02-07 17:29:01','2011-02-08 01:29:01','',2415,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2415-autosave/',0,'revision','',0),(2425,2,'2010-10-22 10:24:41','2010-10-22 17:24:41','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2476\" title=\"Brooklyn_Decker_lead\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Brooklyn_Decker_lead.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"599\" height=\"283\" />\r\n\r\nMANjr created this list of the top 25 bikini babes of all time based on a scientific scale that considered the following factors: bangin\' body, bikini skills, cuteness of face and overall hotness. If you disagree with these picks, let us know where our scientific method went wrong. We probably won\'t make any adjustments, but we\'ll try to recognize any glaring omissions.\r\n<h2>25. Jessica Alba</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2427\" title=\"jessica-alba-bikini\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/jessica-alba-bikini.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"367\" />\r\n\r\nShe’s always going to make the list, even if she <a href=\"http://manjr.com/2010/girls/jessica-alba-wants-to-tone-down-her-sexiness-world-says-too-bad/\" target=\"_blank\">doesn’t want to be considered sexy anymore</a>. Sorry Jessica, you have no say in this.\r\n<h2>24. Stacy Keibler</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2428\" title=\"stacy-keibler-bikini-\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/stacy-keibler-bikini-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"755\" />\r\n\r\nStacy’s got the body to pull off any bikini in any situation. Kieblers was a WWE Diva, Baltimore Ravens cheerleader and a serious dancer (she started training when she was three), so she knows how to put those extra-long legs to good use.\r\n<h2>23. Kelly Brook</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2429\" title=\"kelly-brook-bikini\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/kelly-brook-bikini.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"417\" />\r\n\r\nKelly Brook is no stranger to bikini work. The buxom Brit began modeling at the age of 16, and she’s appeared in TV, films and top sexy lists ever since. Brook, who won a <a href=\"http://manjr.com/2010/girls/babe-of-the-summer-kelly-brook-in-piranha-3d/\">babe of the summer</a> award this year, even has her own line of swimwear and lingerie going, so you know she belongs on this list.\r\n<h2>22. Tyra Banks</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2430\" title=\"tyra\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/tyra.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"337\" />\r\n\r\nIt’s hard to remember a time when Tyra Banks wasn’t super annoying. But think back, way back. Think back to guest appearances on the Fresh Prince of Bel Air and all those SI Swimsuit shoots. Remember? Yep, Tyra was hot. She wasn’t constantly calling herself fat and she didn’t have her own talk show. I miss that fly 90s chick who knew how to work a bikini and keep her mouth shut.\r\n<h2><strong>21. Shakara Ledard</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2431\" title=\"shakara-ledard-bikini\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/08_shakara-ledard_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"367\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nA relative newcomer to the swimsuit scene, Shakara Ledard has made a big enough splash to hang with the all time greats. This beauty from the Bahamas has appeared in multiple films and music videos for usher, Babyface and Justin Timberlake.\r\n<h2><strong>20. Niki Taylor</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2432\" title=\"97_ntaylor_02\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/97_ntaylor_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"302\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nDude, remember how hot Niki Taylor was? This foxy chick from Florida started modeling when she was 13. She was a cover girl for a solid decade or so during which she married an Arena Football League linebacker and had twins. Taylor’s only 35 years old, and you know this blonde-haired, hazel-eyed head-turner’s still got it.\r\n<h2><strong>19. Stephanie Seymour</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2433\" title=\"stephanieseymour\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/stephanieseymour.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"403\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>Stephanie Seymour was on top of her game in the 90s. The San Diego-native appeared in numerous Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues. She helped establish Victoria\'s Secret mail catalogs as prized postal possessions, and she posed in Playboy in 1991 and 1993. Sadly, this still wasn’t enough to help Seymour survive her wedding to Axel Rose in the <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SbUC-UaAxE \" target=\"_blank\">November Rain video</a>. Everybody needs somebody, and we all need more Stephanie Seymour.\r\n<h2><strong>18. Elle Macpherson</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2434\" title=\"jolie-elle-macpherson\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/jolie-elle-macpherson.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"823\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nLong legged Aussie beauty Elle MacPherson has been out of the spotlight for awhile, but her gorgeous bikini body still lives on, even at age 47. Total package bikini beauty like that doesn’t fade fast. If you ever find yourself wondering if there’s a Hugh Grant movie out there from the 90s that features a hilarious slow-motion nude running scene with Elle Macpherson, the answer is yes. It’s called Sirens.\r\n<h2><strong>17. Selita Ebanks</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2435\" title=\"selita-ebanks-8\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/selita-ebanks-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"681\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nCayman Islands native Selita Ebanks was discovered at a Six Flags when she was 17. What kinda crazy job would that be? Hey, before you ride the Ninja, I just wanted to say your gorgeous and I work for a modeling agency. I think I want that job. Ebanks was once engaged to Nick Cannon. As Maria Carey gets more chubby and/or pregnant with each passing day, Cannon can always reminisce about his old Victoria\'s Secret fiancé and wonder what might have been.\r\n<h2><strong>16. Rachel Hunter</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2436\" title=\"06_rhunter_06\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/06_rhunter_06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"634\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>Rachel Hunter had it going on long before Fountains of Wayne reminded the world just how bangin’ she is in that <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FxVfxmDlqU\" target=\"_blank\">Stacy’s Mom video</a>. And when you look that good for that long, people get over the fact that you married Rod Stewart. I ain’t mad atcha Rachel. Not now and not ever.\r\n<h2><strong>15. Jessica Burciaga</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2461\" title=\"jess_yellow_10\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/jess_yellow_10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"750\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nSI Swimsuit gal she is not, but that doesn’t mean that Jessica doesn’t belong on this list. Her frequent Twitter profile pic updates and tales of 1000s of bikinis in her closet seal the deal. Miss February 2009 has a unique gorgeousness to her. Jessica’s father is Mexican her mother is French, Irish and German. When you have the chance, please thank Jessica’s parents for creating one amazingly stunning bikini babe.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2><strong>14. Ana Beatriz Barros</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2437\" title=\"Ana-Beatriz-Barros-20090330045952\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Ana-Beatriz-Barros-20090330045952.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"725\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nI don’t know what it is about Brazil, but they sure can make some sexy bikini babes down there. Born in 1982, Ana Beatriz Barros is of Portuguese, Spanish and Italian descent. She’s appeared in SI’s Swimsuit Issue seven times from 2002 to 2008.\r\n<h2><strong>13. Rebecca Romijn</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2438\" title=\"06_extra06_rromijn_01\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/06_extra06_rromijn_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"317\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nAnd then there’s the global treasure that is Rebecca Romijin. Her exceptional rear-end deserves some type of UNESCO recognition for being a World Heritage asset. Don’t get me wrong, Rebecca’s clicking on all cylinders (really, there’s no part of her that isn’t amazing), but that butt is just fantastic.\r\n<h2><strong>12. Yamila Diaz-Rahi</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2440\" title=\"Yamila Diaz_13268\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Yamila-Diaz_13268.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nLet’s see, born in Argentina of Spanish and Lebanese descent… That’s just a recipe for swimsuit super stardom. Yamila appeared in the SI Swimsuit Issue in 1999. She was on the cover in 2002 and 2006. She was the first Latin spokesmodel in CoverGirl history, and she’s just really, really hot.\r\n<h2><strong>11. Bar Refaeli</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2441\" title=\"08_bar-refaeli_13\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/08_bar-refaeli_13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"331\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nIf you’re going to hang out with heartthrob Leonardo Di Caprio all day, you better be able to counter the dude’s handsomeness with some head turning action of your own. Bar Refaeli is up for this challenge. The 2009 SI Swimsuit Issue cover girl is the hottest discovery to come out of Israel since Abraham found monotheism. Bar Refaeli started modeling when she was eight months old. That’s what happens when your mom’s a model too.\r\n<h2><strong>10. Daniela Pestova</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2442\" title=\"08_daniela-pestova_01\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/08_daniela-pestova_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"680\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nYou may not know her name, but you know her face and you know that body. Da-damn. This Czech model was born in 1970, and she appeared on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 1995, 2000, and 2006. That’s staying power. Daniela can speak fluent Czech, Russian, French and Italian, so she can tell dudes all over Europe to stop staring at her in four different ways.\r\n<h2><strong>9. Miranda Kerr</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2444\" title=\"miranda_kerr_bikini\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/miranda_kerr_bikini.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"682\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nMiranda Kerr is 5 feet 9 inches of adorable Aussie goodness. She’s a little button with a bright smile and a bikini body that stands out in a crowd of Victoria’s Secret Angels. Kerr is married to Orlando Bloom. I bet that scruffy elf-pirate isn’t more than two inches taller than his super-sexy better half.\r\n<h2><strong>8. Heidi Klum</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2445\" title=\"heidi klum\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/heidi-klum.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nBefore Project Runway, Heidi Klum made bank as a supermodel. This SI Swimsuit staple and Victoria Secret powerhouse crushed it for years before she started making babies with Seal. She’s still one hot German MILF and she still making bank as a model, actor, producer, designer and perfume maker.\r\n<h2><strong>7. Gisele Bundchen</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2446\" title=\"0522_gisele-bundchen-bikini-calzedonia-06\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/0522_gisele-bundchen-bikini-calzedonia-06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"346\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nWhen Gisele Bundchen says that their should be a worldwide law requiring new mothers to breastfeed for six months, who am I to disagree. Someone let me know when this Brazilian bombshell takes Tom Brady’s baby out for a feeding session after a long bikini shoot.\r\n<h2><strong>6. Cindy Crawford</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2447\" title=\"ult_ccrawford_01\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/ult_ccrawford_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"624\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nI don’t know how old Cindy is now and I don’t care. She’s Fair Game for looking mighty fine in a bikini or anything else for that matter. I’ll drink Pepsi, buy skin cream, whatever it takes. Someone make sure Cindy sees more camera time so a new generation can appreciate her timeless gorgeousness.\r\n<h2><strong>5. Adriana Lima</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2448\" title=\"adrianna lima\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/adrianna-lima.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"675\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nThis chick has been smoking hot since she was 15. That might sound creepy, but like Lima, I was born in 1981, so I can get away with that observation. Lima’s been a Victoria’s Secret knockout since 2000. She has years and years of swimsuit and lingerie experience under her bikini bottom, and she’s hands down one of the sexiest women in the world. Lima’s married to Serbian basketball player Marko Jaric, and she’s one of the XX Brazilian models to make it on this list.\r\n<h2><strong>4. Brooklyn Decker</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2449\" title=\"brooklyn_decker_bikini\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/brooklyn_decker_si_next_2_big.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"769\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nBrookyln Decker is a healthy slice of knucklefist-biting Ohio scorchery. Decker was discovered in a shopping mall and she’s burned up the pages of SI’s Swimsuit Issue every year since 2006. Decker is married to the Stifler of the tennis world, Andy Roddick. She’s starting to act more and she bested 64 other beauties to win Esquire magazine’s 2010 Sexiest Woman Alive bracket challenge.\r\n<h2><strong>3. Elsa Benitez</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2450\" title=\"elsa-benitez-7\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/elsa-benitez-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"584\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nDamn right Elsa Benitez is in the top three. She looks so fantastic in a bikini, laws should be passed to make her sport swimwear at all times. Ever since winning an international model search contest in Costa Rica back in 1995, Elsa Benitez has been on the cover of Vogue, Glamour and the 2001 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She’s been in the Swimsuit Issue a total of five times.\r\n<h2><strong>2. Alessandra Ambrosio</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2452\" title=\"alessandra_ambrosio-bikini\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/alessandra_ambrosio-bikini.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nIt’s hard to believe that this Brazilian beauty was ever self-conscious about her looks, but she actually had cosmetic surgery to pin back her ears at age 11. Ambrosio started taking modeling classes at age 12, and she was working steadily by the age of 15. She’s now one of the most sought after models in the world and her best friend is Ana Beatriz Barros.\r\n<h2><strong>1.
