TV I like.

So I'm watchin the Daily Show, presumably for 10/10, with Viggo Mortensen as the guest.
And he comes out in this suit, really well dressed, really sharp. His new movie, A History of Violence came out recently, and it's an awesome movie which I'm assuming he was there to promote. Anyway, he's really kinda quiet during the interview, and at one point, without even making a big deal out of it, he goes to take a sip of his water, and then pulls out a rubber snake. And then another. And another. Then a frog. Then a smaller snake. Then another frog.

And then he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a handful of them. And throws them into the audience.

All the while, John Stewart is trying to figure out what the heeck is going on, and I am just laughing and crying and rolling around. Stewart at one point says "I don't think I've ever seen such a handsome man do something quite so...lowbrow." Here's the re-cap from some website:

Mortensen has a seat and takes a sip from his mug. A few moments later, he looks surprised as he pulls a bunch of toy snakes from the cup... then a lizard... then a bright blue snake. What the hell is this? He then produces more from his suit pockets and throws them into the audience. I'm not quite sure what just happened. Jon Stewart doesn't seem to sure either because he says, "I've never seen someone this handsome go this low-brow" and adding that Mortensen might've just gotten himself "un-laid".


I love The Daily Show. Best damned show on TV, now that Firefly isn't on anymore.

And now folks, the moment you've all been waiting for, your moment of Zen:
