Jake In Drag??

[jakefan]

I just want to add that I saw the show Saturday and I never watch the show...ever.  It has to be somebody I love on the show to watch it.  So, of course I watched it because Jake was on there.  I loved the opening.  I was not expecting him to have a dress on underneath.  I wasn't really sure what he was getting at when he says that he was going to do something for his new fan base.  I thought he did very well with his singing.  You could tell that he rehearsed that song!  I hope he does a movie where he really gets to sing because he sounds like he has a nice voice.  I agree with the ones that liked the skit where he is prompting his book (I can't remember his character's name right now) and didn't like the meatballs skit (that's the one the writers really should have rewritten).  I also really liked the first skit where he is in his polar bear coat singing a song that has only raised $40.  I thought he did a great job hosting and he managed to be funny even when his material wasn't very funny.

just had a thought...when he said he was going to do something for his new and 'unique' fanbase...how about if he or the writers or SOMEONE had taken a look on one of these fan sites...and had HEATH come out and recreate 'the kiss'??!!

now THAT woulda made the show AND made us ALL feel valued!!

to heck with singing!!

It would have been even better for me if he and Heath had recreated the 1st Tent Scene as the SNL opener.  But I guess that would have offended too many people.


Who is RAMON  A?

Oh, that's so sweet.  I'm enjoying a new niece too.  And here I am making sly fun of his shirt...tsk tsk tsk.

Just wondered what people's take was.. Would people rather that these shows did not exist?

Is it better for people to 'come round' to 'likeable' effeminate characters and accept them before they accept 'normal' gay men or lesbian women?

I'm just interested in people's view on this.

My answer - I actually don't mind Will & Grace - its that type of TV you don't have to think about too much. Does it hurt the gay community? I really really am not sure - i think I'll hve to ponder on it myself.

Hi Kelda!

You mean like the gay version of  President Bush's "Shock and Awe"?? Shock them now so they'll accept us later?

Nope. I'll be happy when everyone (Americans in particular) views the gay community as a normal, functioning, worthwhile group of people.

I see where you are going with this Kelda, but shows like "Will & Grace" are bad... really bad; especially in a country like the United States.

Well, yesterday I had Jake's SNL performance on YouTube, but now they've taken it off, with a message that it had not been given permission to be used.  What's that all about, anyone know?  And I was ready to get my daily Jake-in-drag fix.  Anyone know where else that video could be obtained?  I just personally loved his screaming falsetto and bulging deltoids!!!

True - sadly I've never really thought about it in this way before - I've never had to. When I clock off at the end of the day I'm not always a big thinker (- I use my brain enough at work!) And I watch these shows generally without the political mindset thoughts in my head. But I guess I forget that while I can see that this is comedy and not necessarily real life - not everyone thinks in that way.

Thats a shame - what about IheartJake.com?

I posted some pics of Jake in drag on the first page of this thread. Check it out! Sorry about the quality of the pics though. I took screen shots off my computer screen.
