Wet, Slutty, and Scared

For Nightcrawler Jake got wet,slutty and a little scared.

On his return to The Tonight Show, Jake and Jimmy had a Water War.

They also talked about Jake on Broadway.

And then from a pretaped interview (done a couple weeks ago from the hair and the beard) Jake talks about getting slutty as a part of Halloween costume discussions, which include several of his father's Halloween costume creations, and for some reason white spandex.

Scared Back

It's been a while since Jake has visited some shows to sit down and chat and others he might rethink while he is visiting.

Wednesday Jake is making a return visit to Ellen in less than a year but after this sit down he might not be back for a while.

Check out what happens on the video sneak peek of Jake on Ellen on Wed.

Jake's scared for sure but scared straight?  ; )

But Jake's not scared of The Tonight Show anymore.

He will return to The Tonight Show for the first time since 2006 and the show is scheduled for some old friends and some old school funk joining him on Wednesday night.  Joining Jake and Jimmy are former Nailed co-star Paul Reubens (aka Pee Wee Herman), former Good Girl co-star Zoey Deschannel as part of the singing duo She & Him, and the most Funkadelic George Clinton.

Oh all the potential of singing, dancing, and booty shaking funk.

Now if he can get those white platform shoes,

 no doubt he knows how to get funky with Tequila from some tequila fan he knows.

No Question about it

Forget Batman, they should cast Jake as the Riddler with all the question marks that are stuck to him.

Let's talk about Jake "leaving" LA on Sunday.

Now why the heck is he going on Sunday with all the cities on the East Coast affected by the winter storm that day?   He did he really have to get to NYC no later than Sunday.

 Funny we don't see Jake in NYC today.  And funnier still is how Michael Strahan who has a daily television show and couldn't make it back to NYC to do the show today, but Jake who's in a holding pattern until Jan, seems to have made it no problem.

  Or did he?  And why are all the pictures outside the terminal when in he past they've "caught" him inside?

And on Ellen first there was the whole hand thing:



Which makes you wonder when and how he really cut his hand.

But also on Ellen was this gem about Thanksgiving



Now this one is a bridge too far so to speak.  Calling all New Yorkers to help out here.  How can you spend so much time on the Manhattan Bridge heading up to Upstate New York and end up on the Williamsburg Bridge that is between Manhattan and Brooklyn.  Because well I might know everything about NYC, but do know Brooklyn is not Upstate.

And where the heck to you pull over on the Williamsburg Bridge? Riddle me that Jakey.

And to round it out here's about his birthday.


And don't worry Austin - you're day's coming tomorrow.

But no matter all the questions that they create  it all comes back to this one thing.

 

No Question about that.

Got 'im the palm of his hand

or How to put your interviewee into a spin.


Start the interview by asking about the project they're on to promote

Then ask innocently ask them about the injury they have that has been in all the papers and all over the internet.

What happened to your hand?

Watch the wind up and then the spin begin.

Now go in for the close up.

I'm with the audience on this one.  How to you punch a mirror with your palm?

 Watch them spin tighter than a top.

 Don't look dizzy while they spin.

 Nope! This is not my woozy face.

A Moveable Feast

Jake might have started his holidays in New York talking but he's wrapping up Hanukkah in LA.

Jake flew out back to LA as he gets ready to visit Ellen on Thursday to tape his first interview with her since 2007.

What can be expected?  Well with Jake and Ellen anything:

Maybe some cooking?

or dancing ?

 
a little tease?

 or a lot of wine?

or maybe a shower of flowers

But Jake no doubt will talk about Prisoners, which is coming out on DVD December 17th,  and maybe his other projects.  It will be Day 3 of Ellen's 12 Days of Giveaways so the audience is getting presents, but maybe Ellen will give Jake his own gift for his upcoming birthday.   A HanukkahBirthmas gift!  Or just call it a Festivus gift and be done with it.  Jake - a donation to the Human Fund might be in your future.

Jake will be on Ellen on Monday, Dec 9th.  Check your local listings.

and one more menorah for the close of Hanukkah.
