Read about this on the newspaper a while back. About this whole prolonged saga on a talk show which encompasses an intense rivalry between a talk show host and Matt Damon. Funny shit how they manage to drag on a running joke as long as possible. I love it when comedians do that. The saga culminated into the final two videos of this post, which has set youtube viewing records and all that shit. The final video is still the best, how they managed to get so many famous stars, I'll never know. So anyway, here is the saga in (what I assume to be) chronological order.



The little mexican guy is funny as shit lol! Apparently he's like a side chracter on the show, the parking lot attendant(?), cos the show is sort of held in a club-like setting, thus explaining the doors at the end of the above video.





This girl is Sarah Silverman, Jimmy Kimmel's girlfriend of 5 years. She's also a comedian. This is the Jimmy Kimmel Show's 5th anniversary episode. According to my sister, she has hideous shoes which, after I watched the full part of her interview to find out more, were given to her by kimmel when they first started dating, that's why she wore them.



And of course the epic collaboration...

I'm rmbring watching american idol last week. i know this is a bit delayed but there was really one song that struck deep into the chords of my soul. And it wasn't sung by my favourite singers either.

I'm a huge fan of that heath-ledger-rocker michael johns and i admittedly have a huge crush on the andiemacdowell/juliarobertsesque brooke white. BUT it was the song by the asthmatic little boy with the mexican fastfood last name, david archuleta, that really inspired me.

not his performance though. I thought it was crap. his song choice.

cos i've heard that song before. and as i heard him singing it, i couldnt recognize it at first. then when he sang "we're all someone's daughter/ we're all someone's son" i thought to myself: where have I heard this line before...

then when he went to the chorus (see the title of the post). I rmbred.

the original song was so much better. and it was so thoroughly uplifting and inspiring.

and it was in an inspirational scene featured in a movie called hot rod, which i watched in camp.

here it is.
