Gad to know

Little brother will be able to help his on screen big brother when they start filming this fall. How?

Josh Gad is an alumni of Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, so he will be Jake and the rest of the cast and crew some of his favorite haunts. And bet you a buck he knows about The "O" or the The Dirty "O" as it also known. The Original Hot Dog Shop is an institution in Pittsburgh, you think its the hot dogs that made it known, and some go for hoagies, but most say its the french fries that are reason to go. A medium can feed 3-4 easily.

Great quote about The O: "Everything terrible -- but tasty -- you ever consumed in college, served up by people who wouldn't bat an eye if your stomach exploded like a pinata right in front of them. That's 'The O' all over."

And then there are those tasty beverages that come in 40oz, and I don't mean soda and it isn't not some tasty reserve either. Oh no! Josh has never had one of those . Ever.

But would Jake to a institution of grease, junk, and late night low down malt liquor? This is the farthest thing from fine dining. But you know who would. Someone who orders The Big Boy off a truck for breakfast perhaps? Wild Turkey and Colt 45, oh someone's going down.

Another Carnegie Mellon (or Carnegie Institute of Technology then) alum you might know Andrew Warhola. Yup, Andy Warhol born and raised in Pittsburgh.


Think this is the closest to junk/fast food Jake has gotten to.




Does any else get the hysterical irony that movie about a pill that's claim to fame is make steel hard rods, is being filmed in the city known for steel.

Everybody and their Brother

This is Jake


And this is his brother


And this is his other brother.

Any questions?

Josh Gad has just been picked to play Jake's younger brother, a vulgar but successful dot-com entrepreneur who moves in with his big brother in the movie Love and Other Drugs. Some might know Josh from his newest job as a reporter for The Daily Show. Or from the movie The Rocker, when he played Rainn Wilson's nephew, Matt Gadman. Others may remember him as the young news director on the short lived comedy Back to You, with Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton. The LA native has performed with the comedy improv troupe The Groundlings, and is a founder/member of The Lost Nomads Comedy Troupe. He also played William Barfee in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee on Broadway.

A improv comedian in a movie about Viagra, and Jake being a goof on set, somehow I see this little brother and big brother combo spelling T-R-O-U-B-L-E. Good luck Ed Zwick. Here's hoping you get it all on film for the DVD extras.

The question remains who will play their dad. Any ideas now?

You think he's already started borrowing his big brother Jake's stuff?

Another Smaller World moment:

Jake's co-star and brother in law Peter Sarsgaard was on Conan O'Brien last night, and who was the musical guest? Austin's One Tree Hill co-star Kate Voegele aka "Mia Catalano". - All things connect.
