Yeah, Jason Bateman is hilarious, and I agree with Deanna that The Office and Arrested Development are the best shows ever!

That was like a mini RainnFest! These skits were so great and I’m still falling apart laughing. The skateboard tricks killed me, as did the Bob Dylan with a big Harry Potter novel, and I especially loved the Winterbottom audition! He has no self-conscious filter at all–it’s wonderful.

Nice videos. :) I’m really happy that more people are becoming Bateman fans… maybe they’ll become Arrested Development fans and we can get a movie made.

Rainn’s Bob Dylan was hilarious. When I saw him reading Harry Potter I nearly fell off my chair.
All around great. =)

I guess the writer’s strike must have left Jen Celotta pretty desperate for some income. Very sad.

Jen, if you’re reading this, the streets are no place for a sweet person such as yourself. Next time you’re in trouble, let Tanster know. I’m sure Office fans could take up a collection or something.

Thanks for posting this! I was so disturbed by Rainn’s appearance that I didn’t even realize that was Jen in the scene initially. :)

To see Rainn Wilson and Jason Bateman, from two of my FAVORITE tv shows of all time, is just amazing… I could not stop laughing when Rainn was Juno. Priceless…and yet, mildly disturbing.

Oh man, I loved Rainn with Jason Bateman!

“Your bump is right against my ball sack…” Pure genius.

I wish I could have seen the rest of Rainn’s takes during his hosting gig. Does anyone know where I could get such valued clips?

Ok, that first video of Rainn and Dennis was very disturbing, lol. But Jen looked hot, way to rock it as a streetwalker Jen!

Why aren’t there more comments? Rainn hosting was the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time. He has no shame, I love it!

The Winterbottom skit was really funny as was Rainn’s Bob Dylan.

My favourite Rainn skit was the Michael Winterbottom.

Hilarious.

Hooray for hooker Jen! Now, when will we see her as a Schrute on the show?

By: tanster

tanster — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 07:13:42 +0000

Yes, that was indeed Jen. :)

She wants you guys to know, “I’m a comedy writer first, hooker second :) “

Heh… Tanster, in Rainn’s opening video with Dennis Hopper was Jen Celotta the other prostitute on the sidewalk when Rainn was dressed in drag? I swear that was her since, I believe, she was brought as a writer for the awards show, as well. :)

Was that Jen in the opening as the other prostitute opposite Rainn?

I didn’t know Jen co-wrote it. Awesome job!

I’m so glad to hear that Rainn did so well. And congrats to Jen for co-writing. I can’t wait to get home and watch it!

I just watched the awards show. Great googly moogly, I never imagined I’d ever see Rainn Wilson wrestle and spank Philip Seymour Hoffman on the floor!
