Every now and then TVgasm has a little coup. First we got a shout out from Stuart Elliot in the New York Times, and then USA Today bestowed us with the "Hip Click" honor. But on this past Friday, we finally broke through the print ceiling and made our first splash on television, not that anyone seemed to realize. Yes, thanks to the unexpected charity of an A-list actor and his assistant, J-Unit and I wound up courtside for Friday's Lakers game where we made our televised / jumbo-tron debut. What was it like to rub elbows with Jack Nicholson? Well, he wasn't there. Jerk. But I'll tell you who was there: Ron Livingston, Christine Lahti, and... wait for it... Suzanne Pleshette. Apparently it was "Pretend it's the Clippers" night, which would make sense since Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy was present as well. In all fairness, there were some gliteratti there. Uber producer Joel Silver was firmly ensconced in a courtside seat and, well, that was about it. Still, the lack of star power didn't mean the game wasn't exciting - although you wouldn't know it based on all the agents and executives doing business while fans were on their feet around them. Nevertheless, the important thing is that we were on TV, and for our shallow existences, that's all the really matters, right? We're awesome.

Congratulations on making it on the jumbo-tron. Everyone here should post a picture of themselves with the top of their head cut off.

The fact that you guys rooted for the Lakers makes my Michigan blood curdle but hey at least you did it in style. My famedar went bonkers when I saw your cut off faces on the jumbo tron but I think that was just b/c Kobe was right in front of you. Love him HA! :)

Sorry, I didn't realize we were expected to dress trendy to a basketball game. I guess that's because we're not, you know, douchebags.

I'm with Leah - came here straight away to comment on b-side's chin, as far as chins go - that's a mighty fine specimen.

As studly as we may be, FSN kept cutting off our heads whenever there was enough of a close up for our faces to be discerned.

Is that Pat Croce sitting in front of you?

Wow, it might very well be. That would constitute a glaring failure of my famedar. Well, not *glaring* per se. It is only Pat Croce.

No, that is not Pat Croce, although I have seen him in Los Angeles a couple of times. This balding white man had no tattoos and was really just a big pussy.

Okay. Famedar intact.
