Tomorrow morning I should be on The Today Show on NBC around 8:30am (EST).
I'll be dressed in knight's armor as the Yahoo! SpamGuard. You likely won't see my face underneath the helmet--I'm not really sure what my appearance entails. This is part of a promotion I'm doing with Yahoo! and the new Broadway musical, Monty Python's SpamAlot. I'll also be at the opening night party tonight. Should be fun!

No appearance on The Today Show this morning. Turns out that security won't let costumed people behind the barricade (unless it's Halloween). So I stood outside freezing in a wind tunnel for a while, wearing knight's armor.
At the opening night party for Spamalot last night, I saw many celebrities, including John Cleese, Eric Idle, Mike Nichols, Diane Sawyer, Barbara Walters, Carly Simon, Hank Azaria, Mike Wallace, Kevin Nealon, among others I'm probably forgetting. I got down on the dance floor with my knight's armor on; at one point when I started doing this hand-planting backbend thing that led to a circle's forming around me, Wendie Malick from the sitcom Just Shoot Me! started dancing with me, somewhere around the region of my buttocks. Shoot, I didn't get her number! We chatted briefly later.
Photos of me from last night were picked up on Wire Image. Do a search for "spamalot" and you'll find two photos of me in armor.

I just checked out the website for a film I did last year in Philadelphia called The Push and there's a trailer up for it.
I'm really excited about this film. Click here to watch the trailer.

I was cast in two roles for the Teacher's Assistant training videos being done as a joint project between Columbia University and MIT.
The roles are rooted in improvisation. We shoot for two days next week. Sweet!
