< /equally boring >

Many, many more people know and care about Jon Stewart than know and care about Gary Kubiak, by a factor of hundreds, maybe thousands, so, no, not equally boring.

NFL > comedy central

that is a matter of opinion. 🙂

Some random guy on the street said, 'Hey Jon' to me. It was undoubtedly the best thing that's ever happened to me. Random Guy: You're awesome, and I love you, in a totally platonic sense."

I think he was kidding.
 
It's a real shame Stewart just isn't funny (and never has been). The DailyShow ceased being funny when Craig left.
 
Adam Sandler filmed some scenes from that Anger Management movie in my town, met him got a couple pictures, etc, ended up chilling with his jamaican bodyguard for a while (btw, Adam is an avid pot smoker).

Damn, really? I never would have guessed... 😛

I mean, Opera Man is totally not a pot smoker...

Gee whiz, you think? :roll:
 
I did think of the last time they were at a convention, I don't remember where it was. Jon was talking about how weird it was being there, with the nice people saying "Hello" if you glanced at them.

I don't remember it verbatim, but along these lines:

"It's so great to be back in New York, where the usual greeting is, 'What are you lookin' at?'"

 
Like, oh my god, that's so awesome. You two are meant to be. You're going to get married and adopt babies and it'll be so wonderful!

Yeah but not as many people know Kubiak. It's not like the Tuna walked past you
 
Anyone know This guy ?

Tom McBeath

He played Colonel Mayborn in Stargate SG1 for several episodes, has also been in numerous TV and made for TV movies.

He is a semi regular customer at the store I work at. Only celebrity I've met / talked to.
 
That beats the time I saw Mark Hamill at Taco Bell. Although it still doesn't rank above the time I got to bowl next to Sarah Michelle Gellar during her birthday.

Funny thing is I wouldn't put it past him to say that on his show.
 
The next time you see Jon tell him "Stephen Colbert kicks your ass!" while you shoot the finger and moon him and see what his posse does. Just make sure you got a buddy with a camera nearby so you can put it on Utube.

He will probably ask you to be a guest on his show. Or drag you into the alley and have mad gay sex with you. Or both.

We eagerly await the results.

The larger-than-ever popularity of the show disagrees with you.
 
Me and some friends got Naughty By Natures autograph a few years back while wandering around downtown chicago. Funny thing about it all is that THEY asked us if we wanted it.

haha, thanks, but given how many people I'm sure recognize him every day, I doubt I stood out in any particular way. He'll be here all week, so if I get lucky enough to see him again, I might see if I can crack out a whole multi-worded sentence this time. Wishful thinking, though, i'm sure. 🙂

this is going to lead up to the finale where you perform fellatio on him in the middle of the street

That's the Casiotech version
 
You know, I never understood the attraction to famous people. If I were to see someone I recognized in the streets, I would probably just walk by without a word. I can't even imagine waiting in line to see someone or get an autograph.
