Jenna Fischer Kidnapped; All Signs Point to Rainn Wilson

Tuesday August 19, 2008

Unnaturally adorable star of The Office Jenna Fischer has been kidnapped by her Office co-star Rainn Wilson, with her release pending the success of Wilson's upcoming movie The Rocker.

There's a website devoted to Fischer's kidnapping, FreeJennaNow.com, which outlines Wilson's plan and features video of failed rescue attempts. Please, everyone -- I won't make it through the fall TV season without Pam Beesly. Let's just give Rainn Wilson whatever he wants. Go see The Rocker. Twice if you have to. We need her back.

Tony Clifton Returns

Tuesday August 19, 2008

Nathan Rabin over at The A.V. Club has written a very entertaining piece about seeing the great Tony Clifton live last weekend at a Hurricane Katrina benefit in Chicago.

Clifton, of course, is the lounge-singing alter ego of the late Andy Kaufman. Since Kaufman's death (?), the Clifton mantle has occasionally been picked up by Kaufman's friend and co-conspirator (and Comic Relief founder) Bob Zmuda.

How cool would it be to go out somewhere and get a Clifton performance? He never shows up anywhere I go. That's probably because it would be hard to do his act at a showing of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.
