Rainn, Rainn everywhere

Monday, July 17th, 2006
  • A few OT readers wrote in about Rainn Wilson’s appearance on the ESPYs last night. Lauren wrote, “Rainn Wilson had a fairly big role on the ESPY awards tonight as Lance Armstrong’s ‘assistant’.” Barry wrote, “He did a pretty long schtick with Lance Armstrong, acting as his PA, even painting his nails. It even had Rainn taking his shirt off and dancing. Talk about a sight for sore eyes.” If you guys have a video link, let me know!
  • LJ Office also reports that Rainn appears in a short 1-800-TBS Funny spot for ‘My Super Ex-Girlfriend’ — watch it here. (Sorry, PCs only.)
  • Finally, don’t forget that Rainn appears on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ tonight! See the calendar for a full list of events.

  1. Oooops. Sorry. I thought it wasn’t posting. Sorry.

  2. Hi, you guys. HYP3R6IR1 found it on youtube: http://youtube.com/watch?v=8bs9Ia_6qq4&search=espy

    It is pretty freakin funny.

    There’s one thing they joke about at the end that I was almost shocked about. But that’s not even the funniest part. Check it out.

    It is pretty freakin funny, in my opinion.

  4. Yeah, you’re right, Jane. Just watched it again — he’s great.

  5. I’m sorry, I have to gush about these ESPY clips a little more. I just love the way Rainn shrivels and falls to the floor when Lance gives him a good whack in the stomach. Note the right hand, how it goes into a dinosaur paw position. Pure pure gold.

  6. I love Larry Miller! I especially loves his accent in The Princess Diaries.

  7. thanks for straightening me out, barry :)

  8. Rainn is funny and great and really really funny. I didn’t play it 20 times (yet), but that “exactement” was classic.

  9. No the bald guy was Larry Miller, (10 Things I Hate About You, The Nutty Professor, about a million other movies).

  10. And wasn’t the bald guy the actor who plays Todd Packer?

  11. For those who missed it (including me), the Espy Awards will also be re-aired at midnight tonight and on Sunday, July 23rd at 3:00am EST.

    Set the DVRs!

  12. Oh God, I think I played the “exactement” part at least 20 times. Same with the part where Lance punches Rainn.

  13. There are two little clips of Rainn at espn.com:

    1. Go to ESPN’s ESPYs page.
    2. Click “Post Show.”

    The videos are called “Lance - Behind the Scenes” and “Lance Loves the French.”

  14. The ESPYs are being replayed this morning on ESPN at 10am PT.
