John Lithgow was a guest on NBC’s Late Night yesterday and Jimmy Fallon challenged him to a game of Charades. When he got The Dictator as a clue, he put his hand over his crotch and wiggled one of his fingers around to act out the first syllable in the second word in a way that would not be Footloose approved. As soon as he did it looked so real that the late night host jumped out and censored it before the network could. Seriously how realistic did his finger look? I am so happy he got that clue because I don’t think any one else playing would’ve done what he did.
Before John Lithgow was pulling Barney in to his life on How I Met Your Mother, he was pushing a woman out of his life in Obsession. He looks exactly the same now as he did when he was 29 in that 1976 movie.
