10.30.09 DRUNK EWOKS MAKE FOR GOOD TV

The hosts of “The Today Show” dressed up in Star Wars costumes for the typical “here’s how you can decorate for Halloween” segment, and they hired a couple people to be in Ewok costumes, which was a nice touch. An even nicer touch? This email from a friend of mine: “For what it’s worth, a friend who works at the Today Show confirms that they were both midgets and drunk.” *looks skyward* Thank you, God!

It takes a while for this video to get going, but the payoff provides all sorts of unexpected delights. Ewoks fighting, moonwalking, leg-humping… If George Lucas had made the Ewoks like this in Return of the Jedi, it totally would have justified their existence.

Cements my estimation that Natalie is the best part of the show – she’s getting goosed and laughing, Ann is pouting and partypooping…

I work in the neighborhood of the Today show studio, and I saw three little people getting blitzed at the Heartland Brewery on 51st st. and 6th the night before this show. Coincidence?

I wonder what Hooper X from “Chasing Amy” would say about Roaker wanting to be a white man.
