Whut Whuuuuuuuut!

Posted by Aaron Bleyaert November 20, 2009 1:44 PM
Hey everybody!  In case you missed it last night (and why would you have, how could that have happened, what kind of a friend are you, etc etc), here's my appearance on the show:



Thanks for watching, and for all the super nice comments! You guys rock!! I tried my best to rep you guys hard last night - TONIGHTSHOW.COM IN THE HOUSE, Y'ALL. Whut whuuuuuuuut!

Tremendous Friday show tonight, as we welcome (from the new movie "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans") the lovely and talented Eva Mendes, then Jon Bon Jovi as our second guest - and the rest of Bon Jovi as our musical guest!! How great is that?! DOUBLE BON JOVI ACTION, Y'ALL. Whut whuuuuuuuuuuuut!

Plus, we rip on dogs, welcome a new fake porn blocker sponsor, expose British movie posters, and bring back everyone's favorite bad horror movie, Killdozer!!  KILLDOZER'S BACK, Y'ALL!!!!  Whut whuuuuuuuuuut!!

I shot a new web video today with Engineer, Matt "Coop" Cooper, but it probably won't be up until Monday - stuff kept getting pushed back and pushed back until it was suddenly 4:30, and I realized that I hadn't done the blog yet! Sorry about that, party people.. I'm sure that it also didn't help that I sat and watched Bon Jovi soundcheck for a good 30 minutes. I'M SORRY, Y'ALL. Whut whuuuuuuuuut!

Something cool I found out about today was that...

This is What it's Like To Be in a Sketch on The Tonight Show

Posted by Aaron Bleyaert November 19, 2009 1:49 PM
Hey hey!  There's two great things to celebrate today: tomorrow is Friday, and tonight we've got an awesome show!!  Award Winning actress Nicole Kidman joins us to talk about her new movie "Nine"; everybody's favorite silver haired journalist Anderson Cooper will be here; and musical guest Leona Lewis will join us for some sweet sweet tunes!  Also on the show tonight: Aaron Bleyaert!  Yes! See if you can spot me on the show this evening plugging our awesome new "Get Me To The Show On Time" Game.  Spoiler Alert: I am handsome.

As many of you know, we use a lot of our own staff members and writers as actors in sketches on the show.  This means that pretty much anyone can be on the show at any time; if the writers and the casting dept think that you'd be a good fit for a part, you're called up from the ranks to appear on the show! 

Normally, the way this happens is this: You are either called by the casting folks (Ric & Emily) or a writer calls you up and asks if you've seen the script (which, because I don't read the script, is always a no).  The latter is what happened to me today: Michael Gordon, the writer of the piece, called me up, asked me some cryptic questions, and then came into my office while I read the script and saw that I was in the bit!  He asked if that was cool and everything - which of course it was - and then he left and went down to rehearsal.

During rehearsal, our Stage Manager Steve Hollander paged me over the office intercom (using a variety of, ahem, nicknames), so I scurried down to the studio.  When I got there, Steve came over and asked if I had seen the script, which I had, then he told me to have a seat in the audience with all the interns and other staff folks... Conan rehearsed a couple of bits; then, with a "don't screw this one up", Hollander called me over to the performance area.

Late Night Characters or bits
Dear Irish guy,It's a scientific fact that most whackings take place between the hours of 11:30 PM and 12:30PM across all time zones. It has come to my attention that many people in this line of work (although I must emphasize that I have absolutely NO firsthand knowledge of this) are very displeased that the Italian guy that used to do your show has been replaced by a Mick...
Conan O'Brien
I want to say I am glad that your taking over the Tonight show on NBC television.ItNice to have a young youthful up to date person on the Tonight show and up to dateon music and youthful culture...

Across The Great Divide...

Posted March 09, 09:51 PM

Packing packing packing packing packing packing packing.

You never know how much stuff you own... Until you have to box it all up. Holy sweet little baby Jesus. You know what sucks more than a papercut? A cardboard cut. And you know what sucks more than a cardboard cut? Nothing. NOTHING. OH GOD, THE PAIN.

My schedule right now is thus:
Now: Packing.
Tomorrow: Frantic packing.
Wednesday: I put my life on a truck.
Thursday: Heavy drinking.
Friday: Heavy drinking.
Saturday: Heavy drinking.
Sunday: Church.
Monday: Heavy drinking. Blog about said drinking.
Tuesday: Reconsider move to LA.
Wedesday: FLY OUT TO LA FOREVER.

Things are getting intense, people. My place is a mess, my friends are a mess, my hair is a mess... And it's all gonna get worse before it gets better. I've got about a week left in New York City, and that can only mean one thing: IT'S TIME TO START MY NYC BUCKET LIST!!! Let's do it:

Before I leave, here are the things I wanna do:

- Eat at Peter Luger's Steakhouse
- Go to the Gospel Brunch at The Apollo Theater
- Drink a beer on the Staten Island Ferry
- Cry myself to sleep every night for the past 8 years
- Go up in the Empire State Building one last time
- Visit the Museum of TV & Radio

And that's it! That all seems doable, right? Party people: Is there anything I'm missing out on? Shoud there be something on the list that isn't?! Lemme know!

In other, less Bley related news, today is Jason Chillemi's birthday!! He's also moving all of his crap today, so I'm not sure how much he'll be able to celebrate it... We'll have to go out for it next week, West Coast style!

Oh! And before I go - for those who haven't seen it yet - I made a new Underground video about the current state of Studio 6a! WARNING: It will freak your brain out. Look for another sweet video early next week! Until next Monday... Be good!

« Back to Blog

Cardboard cuts suck. I cut myself on those way too often at work. You'd think I'd learn.

I could spend a whole week in the Museum of TV & Radio's library.

That video is insane. Did they tear down walls as well? It looks like a different building altogether.


************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Oh yeah. They tore down evvvverything. It looked crazy big when it was just one giant room like that!
