Kevin On Leno TONIGHT!

January 16th @ 6:53 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • That’s right, folks, Roadside Attractions PART 2 happens tonight on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, where Kevin himself will take you on a tour of some fun area attractions in this great land of ours. The last one was a blast, so don’t miss this one. The Tonight Show airs at 11:30 EST. Here’s Kevin on that and another piece of news that so many of you have been writing in about lately:
Tonight’s “Tonight”

I’m in L.A. for the “Tonight Show” taping. At 11:30, you can check out the second installment in the “Roadside Attractions” segments. Tune in, if you can.

Next month, we’ll be skipping the “Roadside Attractions” for the short we shot last month, “The Flying Car.”

I know this is belated, but thanks, all, for making this year’s Vulgarthon a whole mess of fun (yes – that was a puke joke). We all had a blast on this end, and from the feedback, it would seem you all had a blast as well. You’re a good bunch of folks, folks.

And on the subject of the boy…

What can you do, y’know? It’s Mewes. At least he’s consistent.

Thanks, Kevin…And again, just so you all know (or a reminder), there’s just certain stuff here that we don’t do at the site, and that’s post about other folks’ personal problems. Over the years, we may not have learned much, but we do like to let our family have some privacy in their personal affairs. Plus, it’s obvious that you all find out what you need to at other outlets, regardless, you don’t need to read it here as well. Thanks for understanding.

  • Kevin appeared on CBS’s Early Show this morning, chatting about comics on film, and also to show off some of the Secret Stash. We missed it, so if for some reason anyone’s got it on video, let us know so we can share it with the world.
  • Congrats to Pete Tyler, who picked up the Panasonic DVD player and View Askew DVD collection, courtesy of View Askew and Universal Music. It’s great to see a News Askew reader winning a contest! See? News Askew readers really do win. Man, that sounds cheesy.
  • Catch a screening of Jay & Bob in the UK, February 1st 2002, at the Duke of Yorks Cinema in Brighton.
  • A scooper discvoered that “The Digital Video Filmmaker’s Handbook” by Maxie D. Collier features a few mentions of Kevin’s work in it: “Film’s like CLERKS and SHE’S GOTTA HAVE IT weren’t visual masterpieces, but the characters won the love and disdain of many viewers.” The book also comes with a DVD that has a preview for hollywoodonset.com in which they have a scene of Kev talking at what appears to be a convention of some kind.
  • Interestingly enough, Bryan Johnson and Malcolm Ingram were going to make a C.H.U.D. (classic 80’s horror flick) sequel. Check out Bryan’s post:
Malcom, uber producer Scott Mosier and I had a meeting the other night about the movie and let’s say making a CHUD sequel was going to be a lot more trouble than it was worth. We decided to pass on the deal but we’re still working on something similar so if it’s crazed cannibal action you’re after, stay tuned.
  • Check out a new “Clerks” wallpaper at this website and our own Files Askew.
  • Radford University will join the colleges around the country to screen Jay and Bob Strike Back this weekend (Friday 1/18 – Monday 1/21). Tickets are $1 for students and $2 for non students. The movie will be playing at the McGuffey Auditorium.
  • Mysterio’s first Vulgarthon 3 report IS still coming to AICN – They’re just a bit backed up over there. Watch for report #1 later tonight, and #2 at the end of the week.
