Since I didn't get tickets to Conan in Toronto(even though I did answer the middle name question!!), I settled for the next best thing: Ed's Night Party!
The show was taping today, downtown at the CityTV building that all toronto dwellers are familiar with. We got there at 2:30pm and were greeted with a full house. As we walked in, to the right of us we spied the infamous hot tub (aka. The Wank Tank). Mellisa was determined to get me in that thing, but as I kept saying "There's not enough chlorine in the world to get me to set foot in that bacteria pool". And as we found out from Ron the audience tamer, the Wank Tank participants were chosen well in advance of the tapings, so there was no way she could get me in there anyways.
After checking out the tub, we were lead to our seats, and from there we got a chance to check out the rest of the set. Which is actually alot smaller then what I expected. On TV, with their mirrors and fancy lights and camera witchcraft, the place looks WAY bigger. The set actually just had enough room for the 4 go-go dancers, the hot tub, the Professor's DJ stand, and the desk for Craig and Ed. Okay so that doesn't sound that small actually, but, well it seemed smaller than on tv... shut up : P
After taking our seats, we had to wait about half an hour for them to finish setting things up. While we waited, the afore mentioned audience tamer Ron, did his best to keep the wrestles audience entertained. During the Q&A session he told us that they filmed the Electric Circus in the same room we were sitting in, one of the audience members asked him if we could get on it, to which he replied "No you're all too old for the EC" (inferring that they only want jailbait dancers on that show ; )
Once the setup was done, things finally got underway. The guy that does Ed's voice came out, as did Craig, they got into their places and the show took off. Craig who is usually ammusing to watch on TV was even funnier in person. His wacky facial expressions are at least doubly funny when seen in person.
The live show seems way better than the version we see on TV, that's mostly attributed to the fact that it has much better flow live. Ed and Craig's banter is uninterupted, theres no out of place cuts to the same old bikini footage from Daytona beach and there's no commercial breaks. Speaking of scantily clad girls, the Orgasm.com hot tub girls were for the most part decent looking busty blondes. Most were attracive and all if you into the "baywatch blonde barbie" look, or the "hang out at Squareone and has bad hair streaks" look. Well they were all mostly like that, with the exception of Danielle, she was crazy hot. Since I didn't get her phone number(boooo), I was gladly ready to settle for access to her website so that I could catch another glimpse of her, but the cheap CityTV people provided NO freebie access to her website!!
I did leave my email address with Ron and told him to give it to Danielle if she needed consoling after her traumatic hot tub experience with the creepy old guy. I'll be keeping an eye out for correspondence from her.
Apart from the hot tub girls, the other famous eye candy on the show are the go-go dancers. There's not much to say there, they had cool outfits for the most part and knew how to dance well. One girl, K???? something with a K... She had a REALLY cool outfit. It was a low cut top that looked like bat wings, with a matching mini skirt. And I mean MINI skirt, while she danced every few seconds her gyrating about would cause the skirt to ride up enough to show her red panties. If that isn't MINI then I don't know what is... well maybe it was a micro not mini skirt... whatever don't bog me down in semantics, it was short, hot and bat shapped, that's all that matters.
A mere 7 hours, 5 episodes and 1 lunch break later, my posse was getting tired and wrestles so they made me leave before they finished taping the last episode. Ron let us go up Ed's desk and we got to talk to him and Craig and got some autographs and photos taken. We didn't think of bringing a camera, but Ed had his digital camera so he used that to take the pics, and will hopefully not forget to email them to me.
They are taping more shows in May, and I've asked to be on the guestlist so if anyone wants to come with, let me know.
Ohh I almost forgot, when you see the episode where Ed makes fun of the proffesors taste in movie, listen for my W00T when they mention Super Troopers, I was the only one to respond well to that classic movie ; )
