Yesterday on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon brought back my favorite segment and that is the game Phone Booth. Basically, Shaq and Hugh Jackman go into the archaic structure where people used to make phone calls when they were away from home and answer questions. For every answer they got wrong, another person would enter the confined space with them. For every answer they got right, a person would go in their opponent’s private space.
As you can guess, as soon as Shaq got into his standing box, there was barely any room left. To make matters worse, Wolverine got the first answer right. That means that the NBA giant got a visitor in his booth, and that guest was Alex Trebek. As soon as the NBC late night host shut the door, things got physical between the two men as the Jeopardy host put his life in that position as he felt up O’Neal.
Then as the game went on Shaq’s area filled up and Jackman’s didn’t. Which sucks for Shaq, and it o awesome for us because how can you not laugh at their suffering.
Seriously, I love Phone Booth so much, I hope a network picks it up as a game show. I know I would watch every episode because I love to watch people suffer. Since phone booths are made of glass, they can’t hide their reaction. Well, unless they are one of the shorter people who gets stuck between someone’s legs. That happened when Kevin Spacey played the game. See isn’t this game the best?
Hugh Jackman is doing press for Pan and a reporter asked him, if he was a female, which male celebrity would he date? Blackbeard thought about it for a second and said, “I reckon, George Clooney cause he’s funny and he’s naughty and he’s kind of cheeky and he just looks like fun.” So now you know the way to Wolverine’s heart, you have to show him your butt cheeks. That is what cheeky means, right? Joking.
I don’t get the whole Clooney appeal. I can understand liking him in the ’80s and the ’90s, but to me, he lost it this century when he became such a pompous know-it-all. Do you still find him attractive?
Two days ago, Hugh Jackman went on to Dubsmash and did his best Jim Carrey imitation from The Mask. Well, I guess that Carrey didn’t find it smokin’ because he transformed his look by putting on his best Wolverine mask. Along with the photo he said, “Nice move @RealHughJackman Now watch me make a meal out of your biggest role. ;^>”
So whose imitation do you find delectable and which one left a bad taste in your mouth? I say it is a tie. So here’s to hoping Ace Ventura and Wolverine find a way to battle it out with masks and claws.
Hugh Jackman is manly man, but even the manliest men will cry ever now and again. What gets Wolverine to shed a tear. The same that gets you and me to do it. Not a sad movie, but cutting onions. When was the last time you were able to do that and still have two dry eyes?
Ring of the collar can happen to the best of men, including Hugh Jackman. But very very few of those men can blame a snake as the cause of it. Most men would not be brave enough to wrap a reptile around their neck, but I guess if you play Wolverine in enough movies, it is no big deal.
