Oh.My.God.  Next week is getting better all the time!   ;D

I've been wanting to see Jake on The Daily Show, like, forever.  Of all the late-night hosts, I like Conan and Jon Stewart the best - I find them to be the least mean-spirited.  And interestingly enough, also the smartest.  David Letterman is a sociopath.  I liked him in the early days because his show was cutting-edge and different, but now I find his meanness so obvious that it's difficult for me to watch him.  Jay Leno *seems* like a nice guy but is really more than a little bit of a prick and barely masks a certain nastiness, so I don't generally enjoy watching him, either.  It would surprise me if Jake didn't end up doing Jay's show again - he did so well on it last year and they have a good rapport together.  So I guess I'll just have to suffer through it.

(Tell us how ya really feel, huh, Barb?  ;))

OHHHHHboy! I am gonna get in that line on Wednesday and see if I can get tickets to the show! Meryl, John G, Juan, any New Yorkers out there want to join me? The show tapes at 5 pm the same day it's shown. Last year (4 days before BBM came out) I had the privilege of being in the audience when Jimmy Carter was on the show. It rocked!

But nothing could compare to a show with Jake. (Except maybe having dinner with Jake!)

I got tickets to the show! I was going to go for standby tickets but I went to the website an saw that tickets were available for tomorrow's show! I'm going with Amy (who was at the NY Broncho in April last year but doesn't post here anymore). Whoo-wee!!

If anyone out there is watching, look and listen for me to be the loudest-cheering brokie you ever saw! And if the Gods are listening to my prayers maybe I'll get to meet the man himself...

I so agree with all of this, Barb. Jon Steward is incredibly nice -- even to right wingers! And I finished reading a piece about how he and Stephen Colbert are among the few talk-show hosts left who still interview authors of serious, intelligent books. Furthermore, Jon Stewart can discuss them intelligently. I would add Stephen Colbert to the smart/nice list (underneath the schtick).

I will most certainly be listening for you and Amy tomorrow night.  I may be blinded by Jake's beauty when he walks out (again/still), but my ears should still work.

This big talk show circuit is fun!  It's fun to see Jake out and about so much lately.  This interview was good too... it seems like Jake and Jon Stewart must know each other pretty well since it was so comfortable and it seemed like there were some inside jokes going on.

It was so crazy how abruptly the interview ended!  It was so funny that Jon brought up the City Slickers/ Brokeback thing... but then there wasn't time for Jake to really respond!  Bummer!


Jenny!!!   Cannot wait to hear your report on this one!!! I was listening carefully to all the cheers and whistles trying to figure out which one was you!

Heya David, I'm sure at least clips from this will become available on the internet in the blink of an eye... and I bet that some good BetterMostian or another will be busy posting info on this soon too.  Isn't the internet magic!?

Yes it is Amanda! And THANK GOD for it too!  :D

I don't know how we survived all those years without computers and the Internet.

We got by, I guess, but it's a whole lot easier now.  :)

Hopefully Jenny will fill us in about the show too!

Hey David and anyone else who missed it and wants to see it (me included): The Daily Show from last night can be seen on the Comedy Central website. Also, according to the website, it will also be rebroadcast at 7 p.m. CST tonight. I couldn't find a morning schedule on the website, but I believe they also repeat last night's episode at 9 a.m. CST.

You should be able to go right to the Jake segment of The Daily Show at http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/the_daily_show/index.jhtml otherwise search The Daily Show and/or Comedy Central. Here's a cute photo of him on the show. He & Jon were quite cute and funny together!

Thanks for posting that! I just watched it. Amid the adulation for Jake, can I just put in a quick plug for Jon Stewart? That man is soooo hilarious. And nice. And even cute (he shouldn't disparage his appearance!).

Jake was great too, of course.

Ahhh sweet Amanda, I agree, it is too bad we could not hear what Jakey said to Jon after the BBM joke (I liked that joke, not offensive at all IMO).  Jakey does say something back to him, unfortunately we can't hear it for the orchestra, etc.  Maybe Jenny can fill us in, if she made out what he was saying.  I watched it four or five times, I'm not sure, but I think the first word is "Jon, ...."  Damn I wish I knew what he said there, I bet it was GRRREAT!!!

Jenny, did you hear it???   :D

7 pm CST is the same as 8 pm EST isn't it? I'm terrible at figuring out these time zones. I'm gonna try like crazy to remember to watch it tonight. It will probably be my last chance.

Jake was great too, of course.

Thinking of the issue of appearance... what did you all think about that observation of Jon Stewart's that he thinks he looks like Jake?  It had never really occurred to me before, but I guess he's sort of right.  I'd say he could pass as some kind of older relative of Jake's... with the big eyes, etc.  But, not a dead-ringer as far as I can see.

Jon was joking about looking like Jake. Jake was joking back at Jon about how they look so much alike, Jake went left a party with Jon's wife because she thought Jake was Jon. LOL!! There's only one Jake.

I think Jon is good-looking - and funny - but no one can compare to Jake's beauty.

Hey Everyone,

Sorry it's been 2 days and I haven't gotten to post about being at TDS. It was awesome. And a little surreal. Me and Amy had a good time talking and re-counting our favorite moments from the Conan appearance before the show started ("and then you had to leave! leave! leave!" Conan is such a spaz and Jake, we both agree, is such a dork and that's why we love him!)

We sat in the 3rd row of the center-right section facing the "stage" which was cool because the way Jake was sitting, he was pretty much facing our section. We were about 40 feet away I'd say. A little too far to feel as "with him" as I wanted. When he came out, his eyes sort of swept over the section we were in...a fleeting moment of feeling like I *almost* had some eye contact. But the general impression I had was how soft his eyes are, how the energy of his looking at the crowd was of softness somehow, even though it only took a second or two.

I was baffled that I didn't somehow get to meet him -- after all I had this cool hand-clapping song to show him after his thing on Conan of wanting to do that! But, it was not to be that day. It was over pretty quickly. And no, I couldn't hear a lot of what was said, because the audience noise drowns out a good bit of what you can hear even on TV (I still have to watch the tape of it to see what I can get that I didn't hear then). But they obviously had fun together and play off each other well.

So, there you go everyone! Oh, and if you want to listen for my cheering, I don't know but I felt like I was pretty loud, at least in my section. I have a really high pitched cheer that can go on for a long time and I was going "yeoww!" a lot near the end of when Jake came onstage and sat down.

Some other cute things I forgot to tell about that you wouldn't have known otherwise...

Before the show starts a comedian comes out to warm up the audience (read: make fun of some of us, call people out on how they look, etc -- yikes!) and get us to see how LOUDLY we have to yell and cheer and clap for the cameras/mics (his name is Paul Mercurio -- but he's not the same Paul Mercurio as in Strictly Ballroom -- love that movie!). He then introduces Jon Stewart who comes out and takes questions from the audience. The first question was, "What does Jake Gyllenhaal look like with his shirt off?" Jon: Well, I can't tell you that, but he tastes like cinnamon."

Second question from a young woman: Is there any way I can meet Jake Gyllenhaal?
Jon: Sure, I guess...if you leap down here when he comes out, yeah, you could probably get close enough to meet him before the security guards hit you with the Taser gun..."

Another woman later held up a piece of folded paper and said: Can you give Jake my phone number?
Jon: Well sure, but why don't you just read it out loud, to all of us now?

We're all cracking up at each of these. Then a guy raises his hand and Jon goes, "Yes?" And as soon as he opens his mouth to speak, Jon cuts him off saying, "No, you can't have his number!" And the guy deadpans, "I've got it." This got big laughs and Jon said, "The audience members have better material than I do!"

Later I heard from one of my co-workers that he knows someone who works at the show and I was like, D'oh! I wish I'd known that before (not that it would be a shoo-in but ya never know...) and then I also found out that Jake was in the audience a few days ago at a new Broadway show called Spring Awakening sitting right in front of some guys who had been given the last few comp tickets for the show from where I work, and they talked to him. I went to the show in January, and John Gallagher also went and loved it so much he saw it again. Hi John, if you're out there!

Jenny, I can clearly hear your "yeows" on this youtube clip.  (And I remember thinking when I heard those very last two as Jakey sat down, "There's Jenny and Amy!"  Was I right?)

And I think what he says at the end is "You're such a ... (something)."  Dog?  Shit?  Oh, darn.  I guess I'll just have to watch it again just to watch his lips move.  (As if I don't keep watching it again for that very reason anyway.)

No more beans!

yep, that's us! I think the very last one was me too, but it's funny how you feel like there are other people doing it too. That's cool; I'm immortalized!  ;D

Come to think of it, I wish I'd yelled "Yee-haaw!" now instead of "yeeow!"...hindsight is 20/20 as they say.

Hey Everyone,

Sorry it's been 2 days and I haven't gotten to post about being at TDS. It was awesome. And a little surreal. Me and Amy had a good time talking and re-counting our favorite moments from the Conan appearance before the show started ("and then you had to leave! leave! leave!" Conan is such a spaz and Jake, we both agree, is such a dork and that's why we love him!)

We sat in the 3rd row of the center-right section facing the "stage" which was cool because the way Jake was sitting, he was pretty much facing our section. We were about 40 feet away I'd say. A little too far to feel as "with him" as I wanted. When he came out, his eyes sort of swept over the section we were in...a fleeting moment of feeling like I *almost* had some eye contact. But the general impression I had was how soft his eyes are, how the energy of his looking at the crowd was of softness somehow, even though it only took a second or two.

I was baffled that I didn't somehow get to meet him -- after all I had this cool hand-clapping song to show him after his thing on Conan of wanting to do that! But, it was not to be that day. It was over pretty quickly. And no, I couldn't hear a lot of what was said, because the audience noise drowns out a good bit of what you can hear even on TV (I still have to watch the tape of it to see what I can get that I didn't hear then). But they obviously had fun together and play off each other well.

So, there you go everyone! Oh, and if you want to listen for my cheering, I don't know but I felt like I was pretty loud, at least in my section. I have a really high pitched cheer that can go on for a long time and I was going "yeoww!" a lot near the end of when Jake came onstage and sat down.



Oh Jenny, I am so happy for you..... and soooooooooooooooooooo JEALOUS! Did you wear one of your t-shirts?  ;) Thank you for your wonderful report and I listened for the high-pitched yeows and I think I heard them!!!

Why does this never happen in Amsterdam? Oh please Jake, please... come to Amsterdam to promote your movie!!!!!! It's not that far from Morocco!

I forgot to watch it again!  >:(

God, what the hell is the matter with me?

I'll watch it on the Internet the next time I go to my Dad's house. He has digital Internet over there.  :D

Jenny, thanks for the way cool report!  I sure wish I could have been there with you and Amy.  We can use your experience to plan future expeditions to the Daily Show.  Surely Heath will show up there eventually!  8)
