My thoughts on the highly anticipated (by me) (highly meticipated, maybe?) Heroes premiere will have to wait

Because I haven't watched it yet.

I did watch the second episode of Studio 60, though, and the pure Aaron Sorkiness (that's pronounced Sorky-ness, I've decided) of the whole thing practically made my brain melt. This is not to say I didn't like it, I just nearly sprained a muscle from rolling my eyes.

I hope they have some self-awareness about the fact that they're treating the executive producer's office like the freaking Oval office, because they should know that it makes them seem like self-important windbags instead of charming and lovable rogues, which is what I desperately want them to be.

Things I liked: the anthropomorphized clock, Nate Corddry, and everything about the writer's room. 

Also, as predicted, the first-ever Matt-penned sketch for the show-within-a-show was not all that funny. Watch the whole episode to see for yourself.

Up tonight: the highly meticipated premiere of Gilmore Girls!

This picture is ridiculous. Also, wonderful.

THE ANSWER: Dan’s celebrity encounter

Good guesses all around, but no one got the right one.  The TV gay was none other than….

Star Trek's Sulu, aka George Takei!

Not necessarily someone who would be on the radar at TiFaux, but still famous nonetheless.

He got on the plane and I recognized him immediately, even though he was wearing some big aviator shades.  I don't think I would have even noticed him if I hadn't seen him on the William Shatner roast on Comedy Central a few weeks back. 

He got on the plane with a New York Times and the woman in back of him (this was a teeny tiny prop plane — I thought I was going to die) got him to sign the back of a photo of her grandkids.  He said "So these didn't fool you" pointing to his sunglasses. 

He was super nice, even when other people came up to ask for autographs.  So I say, George Takei: good man.
