Never met Erica, actually. But yeah, that guy is great. I think he's getting funnier as time goes on. Burning Love is hilarious.

Thankfully, the wife and I aren't at preschool time yet. That train's on the track though, and you know it isn't slowing down. LA preschool is insane, man.

Weirdest connection since David Cross and Amber Tamblyn.

EDIT: Looking it up, looks like they've been an item for a while, as in he's the reason Cobie had to act with loose blouses and big handbags a few years back.

Gandolfini came out with us afterwards, and I just kind of let them be alone, so I drank with some other people. The waitress came by dropping off drinks:

"Manhattan on the rocks?"
"oh, I didn't order this, but I'll take another please."
"Mr. Gandolfini sent this over."
"Uh...that's the coolest ****ing thing anyone has ever said to me. Thanks."

Toast to Gandolfini.

Waitress comes back.

"Can I get another Manhattan on my tab?"
"Mr. Gandolfini wants to buy it."
"Sure. that's... sure. No problem."

End of night.

"Can I get my tab?"
"Mr. Gandolfini would like to take care of the bill."

Girl next to me:

"Can I get my tab, too?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gandolfini would like to take care of the entire table's bill."

Eight people. Dinner. Five hours of drinking.

Gandolfini, y'all. Gandolfini.


I've actually met a ton of people, because I worked at a studio for a long time, and my wife is an actress. Jon Hamm got drunk at my house. That was fun.

His appearances in Just Shoot Me were some of the funniest television sitcom episodes ever. That show was hugely underrated to start with, and when you threw Slow Donnie into the mix, it should be in the conversation of the best sitcoms ever.

I know, I know; I can't help it. I have young sons that loved the Chipmunk franchise so that's where I know him best. He's been on a bunch of other stuff too I'm sure.

EDIT

Taran - SNL cast member, also plays [in perhaps my favorite role of the past year] the glee club instructor on Community, that's a big parody of Glee.

Cobie - HIMYM

Amber - Joan of Arcadia, The Unusuals, House.

David - Mr. Show, Arrested Dev, . . . err, Chipmunk Movie, Squeakuel etc.

Then there was the hilarious twitter spat with Patton Oswalt 'Brian Posehn and I read that part and threw the script across the room in disgust. . . guess David caught it.'

He's an MU guy, which I'll forgive. Really, really nice. He got me tickets to his show once, and this unknown comic named Zac Galifinakis was opening. That was a trip.

The comedy people I am more in touch with are SNL people, honestly. I was at the Groundlings for a long time, so you just end up becoming friends with people who go on to be really successful.
