Airing over the Long weekend....

Saturday night in most of the country on Global before SNL and on Sunday night @ midnight on E! there will be one of those rare episodes that I really think is awesome and worth checking out or taping to be watched whenever. After all these years of making the show I have to admit, alot of the times when I deliver an episode to the network, I wish I just had a bit more time to work on it or maybe tweak things because I know it isn't really as funny or as interesting as I would like it to be or think it could be.

I didn't have that feeling this week when I dropped off the show which is a awesome feeling for me. Shooting the show from the van these days has simplified things alot for me for sure. I'm not so preoccupied any more with lighting and mic's and anything and everything other than having fun and making an interesting show that will be watched by you guys on the tube over any given weekend.

Having George Clooney on the show that airs this weekend is kind cool I guess but to be frank, thats not the reason I hope people have a chance to check out this episode. Every now and again I meet someone who I know in an instant will be someone I want on the show over and over again. Randomly meeting people like this is one of my great thrills in life!(lo) I love when it happens while I'm shooting footage and its all caught on tape and that is exactly what happened while I was shooting the episode that airs this weekend. I really hope you all have a chance to see it.

I've been posting some video again on the site recently for you guys to check out so I wanted to post something to be viewed over this long weekend. In the vain of people I have randomly met while shooting footage and interviews with characters that for some reason completely entertain me, check out this footage and have a great long weekend everyone.....

If U missed last weekends show.....

U missed a tribute to my Grandfather. I use to have Grandpa on the show all the time which was awesome for the both of us. For my entire family actually. People keep emailing and facebook messaging me asking if I will put last weekends show on line. I know you guys want to start seeing episodes on line one of these days so how about I do this. I'll post some of last weekends episode as kind of an online look back, kind of a tribute to Grandpa.

I'll include sort of an opening montage as well put to a song recorded and sent to me by Aaron Allen and The Small City Saints...

Un-aired footage from last weekends show....

Each week out on the road shooting footage for the show from my van, I end up with tons of footage that doesn't get aired on the show because well, its only a half hour show. I've decided that it might be interesting to start posting some of that footage here on the website each week. While rapping up last weekends episode in the field, sitting there behind my desk beside my fake plant, a couple guys pulled over to say hello. They had noticed me setting up and had apparently decided to quick go back to their house to get some more fake plants to give me for some reason.

I didn't have time to include in last weekends show any footage of this encounter other than when I initially met them so here it is, uncut and online for you you guys to check out if your interested.......

...a casual conversation with JR regarding recent comparisons of JR's old show and Tom Green's new show on the internet.

If U love ToDD, U will love this weekends shOW!

Everyone I think likes the fact that I have always randomly met people on the street who for various reasons made me want to have them on the show and then eventually become regulars over the years. I know that fans for sure like seeing some of the regulars on the show more than others but it might be fair to say that everyone loves Todd!

The first time I met Todd, I knew I would want him on to appear on the show over and over again. As you all know by now, I'm shooting the show from my van these days and I have room to take one person with me each week so every week I've been stopping by to pick someone up to go along for the ride. This weekend on the show you guys will be happy to see that I stopped by to pick up Todd!

Also, my failed attempts to lure a celebrity or rock star into my van to be a guest at the Music awards turned out not to be a complete bust after all. Aside from it maybe being slightly humiliating to have to dress up in that giant banana man costume, my efforts did pay off with a guest for the show this week. They aren't quite rock stars yet but they might be soon after winning a juno for best new group. The Band Mobile, joined us in the van this week for a bit of an interview and a music performance. Thats the first time thats happened in the van so thanks to the folks at Universal music for setting it up for us.

Hope everyone enjoys the show this weekend, and keeps spreading the word because I appreciate it!

Saturday mornings with JR DIGS!

Yes guys, you have in fact seen my mug on television Saturday morning, it wasn't your Friday night creating some morning after blurred screwed up visions. "BE REAL with JR DIGS" is being aired for some reason on Saturday mornings on Tv Tropolis these days, I think maybe at 10:30am, I'm not sure.

In other news, it looks like I may have found a new way to have Andrew the Psycho fan back on the latenight show after yet another freak out all because I wanted him to put on a giant size banana man outfit. If you watched the show last weekend, you would know that I ended up having to wear the big yellow outfit and humiliate myself. Oh well.....Andrew is back this weekend on the show kinda...

....tune in to see what I mean.
