Lee in Orlando's JointWhereas in times past I may have acted cartoonishly, now I’m acting in a cartoon.

    I watched ALL seven episodes of OJ, enjoyed it thouroughly.
    Sort of like Sanford and Son on acid, esp. with the Roach influence.
    Lee’s like totally Lee in this except I would have permitted his character to overpronounce the phrase “you’re bad-ass MOTHER FUCKERS” this is due to the fact that enhanced emphasis placed on such language when employed by ‘whitie’ has a typology that earns respect ‘cross-culture’. Or something. It would have just been plain funnier anyhow. Nothing like foul language, nothing.

    Lee should now be a regular at The Joint, maybe do a local cable TV spot for the place, given the demographic of the neighborhood, it’ll be interesting to see who tunes in, and who shows up as a result. Orlando’s Joint, apt name that, by the by.

    Given my recent debut on “Orlando’s Joint,” yesterday I felt quite comfortable saying to the rather striking black ticket agent at the Southwest gate in Las Vegas, “Hey, I’m down with the brothers and sisters.” She laughed and smiled at me.

    As we walked away, my colleague said, “Maybe she recognized you.”

    Well, at least you didn’t tell the ticket agent she was a “bad-ass mofo” — or “motherfucker”. I’m sure she was one of the ever-increasing legion of OJ watchers crying out for another appearance by “that crazy whiteboy video director”. The outcry is so great that Lee will be in the VERY NEXT EPISODE!!!! *applause*

    Okay — it was already planned that his character has a couple lines next episode. But people are digging your guest stint… šŸ˜‰

    I’m still lobbying for Lee’s character to produce a TV spot for The Joint, and it get’s noticed by Larry King’s people and goes National! While King interviews Lee’s character, King keeps reminding the audience that he doesn’t understand The Joint or Lee at all, because he’s just “an old New York Jew”. Lee’s character becomes a talking head on MSNBC next to that bitch from Adweek, analyzing 2006’s best and worst TV commercials from all over the world, yawn. Ok, I’ll think of the next intrigue soon. Gimme a break.
