Eps. 189: Spit Takes, Groundhog Love'n And Throwing Snow At Al Roker

Tuesday 2/2/2010
Guests: Meredith Vieira, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Motion City Soundtrack


*Jimmy was very chatty tonight. He was laughing a lot and was being very silly with Higgins.

*In the monologue Jimmy addressed: doppelganger week on facebook/John Edwards/a cat with a knee replacement/golf balls with Tiger Woods' mistresses on them.

*Since The Oscar nominations were announced earlier that morning so Jimmy decided to pick the winners. He picked Avatar to win Best Picture and Best Director and believes that Jeff Bridges will win Best Actor. For Best Actress, he had a lot of trouble picking; he and Higgins both admitted that not only did they not see Helen Mirren in The Last Station...but they didn't even know what it was! lol He narrowed it down to Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep eventually picking Streep.

* In honor of Groundhog day, Captain Kirk sang a very sexual song .... jimmy was embarrassed but not shocked.

* During the game Competitive Spit takes this one guy's spit take looked with a scene from the film The Perfect Storm.... seriously..... but they won so it was worth it.

*Meredith Vieira's son Gabe is prob mortified that his mother told a story about him peeing in public as a child. Vieira and Jimmy made an Oscar bet: If The Hurt Locker wins Best Picture she gets to spit take in Jimmy's face and if Avatar wins, he gets to spit take in her face....what happens when Up In The Air wins???? (that's right i said it!) Jimmy then played two fun games with Vieira. He asked her 3 questions from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (which she hosts during the day) and she got a question wrongs lol. They also played an intense game of snowball throwing; Jimmy won 55 to 30 because he hit the moving Al Rocker target and got 50 points!

*Jesse Tyler Ferguson interview was about 2 minutes long...honestly, the only thing memorable was that he said he didn't wash his hands...or something like that.....oh, and he told some story about seeing Hilary Swank in a car.

*i fell asleep during Motion City Soundtrack....... yet i awoke when they finished and stayed up till a little after 5am..... i wonder what that says about their performance?
