  • Important stuff here! Kevin’s currently featured in an online poll at the Tonight Show website, where you get to choose your favorite correspondent for the show — Let’s show our support and get over there, help Kevin win this thing! Kevin’s got just 8% of the votes at presstime, get over there and help get that total up. You’ll find the Quick Poll on the left side of the website at http://tonightshow.msn.com/. Kevin should easily beat the likes of Howie Mandel. Go, go go!

Don’t Forget: Kevin is on Leno TONIGHT to wrapup his visit to Florida with the Roadside Attractions crew. The last edition was an absolute riot, we can’t wait to see where Kevin heads next. As far as we know, he’ll as always be on the show in person to introduce the clip. Now, go get those votes in, and don’t forget to tune into NBC tonight for the big show.

  • Easily the top number of scoops on this one today — That now famous on the net Daredevil pic, featuring the first shot of Affleck in the suit. Looks pretty slick, yet still sort of silly thinking it’s Affleck back there. Kevin makes it tough to take the guy seriously with some of the stories he tells. Still, early word on the flick is great! A small image was released, but thanks to JoBlo, we’ve got the FULL size version of the shot above, just click to check it out. Thanks also to USA Today and Dark Horizons.
  • Small mention in this CNN article on Mark Hamill as one of the original Star Wars cast members:
And he isn’t above joking about his “Star Wars” fame: Last year he goofed on it by appearing as himself in Kevin Smith’s “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.”
  • On the Filmwise website today, the Visual Quiz shows a shot from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. The picture is of the two babies who grow up to be Jay and Silent Bob – The question is, “What inseparable pair did this pair of cuties grow up to be?”
  • You can find more photos of those Buddy-Christ like Jesus figurines HERE.
  • And finally today, just to show you how WRONG the Internet can be a lot of the time, the very incorrect www.fametracker.com reports in “The Asterisk”:
“Director Kevin Smith reportedly became so irate at the postings of internet fans that he now never goes near a computer, and has banned computers from the offices of his production company, View Askew*”

Kev’s at his own computer pretty much daily and the View Askew offices are more wired than ever.
