New York Stock Exchange Opening Bell as Larry the Stag for The Hartford

Today I played Larry the Stag for The Hartford, which was celebrating its (gosh!) bicentennial with some events at the New York Stock Exchange and Helen Mills Theater.

Little did I know upon agreeing to the gig, or even upon waking up this morning, I would be on the platform for ringing the opening bell for the NYSE! Especially on such a visible day in the markets!

Here are some photos I found:

Trailer for The Switch!

The trailer for the film The Switch is out!

See it here:
http://screencrave.com/2010-03-17/jennifer-aniston-and-jason-bateman-the-switch-trailer/

Also, check out the film’s website:
http://www.theswitch-movie.com

In the film, I was the stand-in for Jason Bateman. In the trailer, you’ll see my feet in the beginning (sperm rains down on them–not as bad as it sounds). You’ll also see my hand holding the white cup toward the middle.

So excited! The film is out August 20th, 2010.

Video: “SssBikini Wax” // Improvised Sermon @ BAX

I got video of the comic improvised sermon I did last night at the Brooklyn Arts Exchange as the Reverend Raymond Nader.

The suggestion I got was a composite of “bikini wax” and the sound “sss” I heard in the audience when I solicted a suggestion. It turned out to be one of my best sermons to date.

Watch it here.

Videos Online for 2 New Improvised Sermons!

I just put on my Videos page the videos from two different improvised sermons I did as The Reverend Raymond Nader this weekend in the curated variety show titled “Stone Skipping” at the Brooklyn Arts Exchange. The sermons were inspired by the audience suggestions of “Healthcare” and “Pedophilia.”

The Videos:

Friday night’s improvised sermon: “Healthcare”
Saturday night’s improvised sermon: “Pedophilia”

Yahoo! “World’s Biggest Brain” Videos Online … Finally!

Okay, a bit earlier than I expected, I got about 25 videos online from my June 2006 gig as host for the webcast for the Yahoo! Answers “World’s Biggest Brain” event in Times Square.

I interviewed people like Deepak Chopra, Russell Simmons, Beth Ostrosky, Arianna Huffington, Todd English, Randal Pinkett, and a number of other interesting people.

The videos are on my Videos page, but you can go straight to them by clicking here!
