Mocked by Will Farrell

I was mocked by Will Farrell last night and it was AWESOME!  Our friend from Oregon came into town to take us to "You're Welcome America".  We had dinner reservations at 6:30 and the restaurant was running behind.  Also, for some reason we thought there was an opening comic so we weren't stressing too much about getting the theater right at 8.

So we get there about 8:10-8:15 and it had started.  Will Farrell was on stage (as W) and was doing a "prayer" somewhat similar to the sweet baby Jesus prayers from Talladega Nights.  The ushers told us they would seat us as soon as the prayer was over.  He finished the prayer and they whisk us down to our seats.  Our seats that just happened to be 2nd row, right in the middle.  Not conspicuous at all.

So we get into our seats and Will Farrell/George Bush looks directly at me and says "you missed the prayer."  And proceeds to kneel down and pray like 12 inches from my face, "dear lord, please excuse these rude people in the second row that came late.  Please protect them Jesus when they walk to their car later tonight and are accosted by an angry mob for interrupting the show."  The audience is going crazy at this point.  I'm dying of embarrassment and laughter at the same time.

Then on the way to the bathroom after the show I almost tripped over Bob Costas (and you could trip over him, he is a teeny tiny man!).

Such a fun night.  "You're Welcome America" will be on HBO March 16th.  Watch it!
