video: will smith on ‘the colbert report’
Speaking of Hancock, Will Smith was on The Colbert Report tonight, which was odd enough that when I saw the show description I thought it might be a mistake. Normally Colbert doesn’t have mega stars on his show. In fact, most of his guests are obscure scientists or authors you never would have heard of if it wasn’t for the show.
But he was there, The Fresh Prince himself, super cool, etc. Now, I’m very positive on Will Smith; I think he’s generally really good in his films and always really likable and funny in interviews. Unfortunately, he broke the number one rule for facing Stephen Colbert:
1) Just because he’s a comedian, it doesn’t mean you’ve become one. Even when you think you might try to be funny, please, let the impulse fade. You’ll be glad you did, because the overwhelming chance is that he is thinking of something funnier.
Not every attempt at humor was a miss, but enough were to make me cringe a little.

Something is wrong with my database or my Wordpress version or the internet gnomes who power this heap, so for some reason I can’t post. That’s the technical problem. The mental problem is that I’m exhausted due to a long day doing my civic duty as a prospective juror.
While we try to troubleshoot the problem here, you can read all about my day today because I totally live Twittered jury duty: Twitter.com/SinPies.

DC: I wish I was half as charming when I’m drunk. I’m actually twice as not charming. Squared.
Robert: Let’s not talk about ears, ok?
mc: Maybe he was huffing paint?
Charley: Jury duty? More like “jury dirty.”
melissa lion: Is that true? That just leaves one question: Which one of them would I rather get down with?

That is true.
From the mouth of Will Smith, (to my ear last night) no, I found this by searching google.
“Our perspective is, you don’t avoid what’s natural,” Smith told Britain’s Daily Mail. “You’re going to be attracted to people. In our marriage vows, we didn’t say “forsaking all others. The vow that we made was that you will never hear that I did something after the fact.”
“If it came down to it, then one can say to the other, ‘Look, I need to have sex with somebody. I’m not going to if you don’t approve of it — but please approve of it.’”
Right? Give it up for the Fresh Prince!
