There's a (extremely unattractive) couple on Leno tonight's "Don't Try This At Home" doing a knockoff of the human fountain. Not nearly as amusing as yours, though. She just shoved it through her nose, stuck one end in a milk jug while her boyfriend drank through the other end. But still! (saw the woman come out with a long tube and bottle of milk and knew exactly what they were about to do, the cheap bastards)

In fact, all three guests sucked. There was a guy who put his face down on a bed of broken glass while his buddy stood on his back and juggled, a geriatric woman who rollerskated under a limbo pole, and these people. I'll keep my eye out for video.

WOW.

I mean... wow. Jay's reaction and timing is almost identical to my performance. That's really, really surprising.

...and YES! I will definitely be leveraging this into a Tonight Show appearance.

...THAT will be my ultimate scam!

So you made that trick up Brian? If so, that sucks that they're ripping you off!

I dunno if anyone can claim to have "made up" the trick where you stick something in your nose and pull it out your mouth. Decades ago, I knew a girl who did it with spaghetti. But Brian's been on Leno before, doing almost the exact same thing, only more clever and artistic. Even if they're not specifically "ripping him off," it's still Leno bringing someone on to do something that's already been done on his show.

BTW, video of Brian's appearance: http://www.shwood.com/ontv.html (first one below the YouTube vid)

REALLY!? Must. Find. Video.

I gotta admit, I'm surprised. The guy who's in charge of that is pretty big on keeping stuff fresh and original, and is not at all into retreading material.

I'd LOVE to see the clip and give him a hard time about it... :)

Can any west coast fans grab it when it plays out there?

Brian If you need something recorded. You can ask me I have a DVD recorder and video capture cards on my PC. zoomtechtv (AT) yahoo (dot) Com

As for Hulu give me the link I might be able to get a capture with Camtasia Studio 4.
