Did anyone else see Jake on Jon Stewart's The Daily Show last night? Personally I found it a little disappointing. Stewart's constant questions about Jake's love life -  which clearly Jake didn't want to answer - quickly became tedious and their brief attempt to pretend they were in a version of Source Code with repeating phrases felt pretty lame. As well, Stewart allowed Jake very little time to talk about the movie which presumably was why he was there.

Unfortunately, up here in Canada, I don't seem to be able to access the video of last night's episode but I'm sure it can be found online if anybody's interested. Anyway, here's a review of last night's episode I found earlier today:

The Daily Show With Jon Stewart    Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c
Jake Gyllenhaal
www.thedailyshow.com
Daily Show Full Episodes    Political Humor & Satire Blog    The Daily Show on Facebook

Pity poor Jake Gyllenhaal. No one, it seems -- not even Jon Stewart -- can resist trying to set up the handsome actor. To paraphrase Jane Austen: It's a truth universally acknowledged that a single movie star in possession of a good fortune and dazzling pecs must be in want of a wife.

On Wednesday night, Gyllenhaal tried his darndest to plug his new movie, "Source Code," on "The Daily Show," but Jon Stewart wouldn't have it. Like the rest of us, Stewart was too busy wondering why Gyllenhaal, who seems like such a nice boy, hasn't found a nice young lady to settle down with already.

Stewart gave "Source Code" the obligatory, fill-in-the-blank mention -- "This movie looks very good, and I've heard very good things about it" -- then quickly moved on to more urgent matters.

"I don't want to be a yenta," Stewart began, but "I have a girl for you." He then mentioned an audience member who, before taping began, had declared her intention to become Mrs. Jake Gyllenhaal. Would he consider the proposal?

"I'll think about it," the actor responded.

It was a good-natured demurral, but Stewart wasn't going to take "maybe" for an answer. He pressed the issue: "I don't know what your situation ... I don't know if you're single, if you're dating."

"I'm a little worried about your interest in this," Gyllenhaal confessed, but the protest could not stop Stewart's prying.

Well, I read in this morning's Metro that last weekend in New York, Jake had dates with three different starlets in one weekend. That could be one reason!  ;D

There is the (somewhat vulgar and demeaning) old saying, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?" In Jake's case, one might ask, "Why buy one cow when you're getting the whole herd for free?"  8)
"It is required of every man that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow-men, and travel far and wide."--Charles Dickens.

Hey guys!

Just thought I'd share the link to Jake's Eyelashes on DCF, where Catia (Juliacat) tells about her meeting with Jake last night. Some of you may already have seen it on FB, but for everyone else, here goes:
