Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)



When Jed is on a talk show, he is most certainly with his favorite, Conan O'Brien. Usually he is there because he has finished an awesome film that everyone is crazy about. He is super funny and handsome (well, doy) and Conan adores him. That is what it is like when Jed is on a talk show.

I used to be on talk shows with David Letterman, but these days, I'm on Oprah. (Don't you miss the days when Dave would go out on the street?) I am most likely there because someone finds out I'm extremely impressive and Oprah just has to have me on. I don't do anything special, like lose 100 lbs or invent something sweet, I'm just there. But I am super cool! But, maybe being on Ellen would be cooler. I do like Ellen. Maybe the next time I day dream, I'll be on Ellen.

Maybe one day, I'll tell you what song I'm singing on American Idol. And you better believe it is not one that a current Idol superstar sings--what kind of idiot attempts one of those? It is also not "I Hope You Dance". But no more clues. "when one door closes I hope one more opens, promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance. And when you get the chance..." Oh sorry, I was just practicing.

And now you.
What talk show are you on? Or are you on American Idol or Dancing with the stars? Oh, come on. Jed and I surely aren't the only day dreamers in the world. Right? Right?

Well, I am probably letting my 'geekness' show. When I was a kid, I'd always imagine that I was on Star Trek, the Next Generation.

However, today I am on Heroes. You see, I'm this person with these truly amazing powers. I'd go into sordid detail, but some things just can't be spoken of freely.

By the way, are YOU on the list?

I would be on So You Think You Can Dance. BEST DANCE SHOW EVER!!!!!! Then I would be on the biggest loser - I love Jillian Michaels - but I only want to lose 5-8 lb (postpartum, of course). Then I would be on any show with Tina Fey.
If we are speaking strictly in terms of talk shows I would be on Conan for sure, there is no better host alive.
I would advise you to go on Ellen, she always gives her guest free stuff.

this is easy. I am on the bachelor, of course. And I have big boobs and a really sexy bikini body. And all the girls hate me because I'm awesome.

If you went on Oprah, I probably wouldn't watch you because I can't watch Oprah. But I would watch you if you were on Ellen. I love Ellen, and I would definitely be on her show!

If I were on a TV show I would be on House, MD. And he would cure me, and then fall in love with me because I softened his heart. Mmmm...Dr. House.....

Call me lame (or just call me 'cause we need to talk), but I have always tried my hardest to stay OFF those things . . . it has worked thus far. Hope Floats cured me of any daydreaming with the stars.

I do have a friend who (a really long time ago) wanted to be the mole on some reality show! Does that count?

Ha ha ha! I knew we weren't alone, Jed! I feel like I now know so many famous people!

J-I love it. You'd be a sweet hero or star trek dude. Now what list are you talking about? (Is that something I should know?)

I also dream of being Tina Fey. Or at least as funny as she is. That's why I cut bangs--cause I had a picture of her with cute bangs.

And Linds, I know, the "Oprah, King of the world" is pretty annoying. I do admit to watching every so often though...daydream officially changed to Ellen.

Ali, I can see it now...

I'm dying to be on the Bonnie Hunt Show. He he!
I wouldn't dare be on any talk show, but my favorites are Dave Letterman and Craig Ferguson. I still love David Letterman the best of them all. I started watching him more than 30 years ago with my dad late at night.
But, I really really want to be on Family Feud!!!(like the Nemrows). I imagine myself and different members of my family on Family Fued (week days on channel 30 at 10:00!)I imagine (all the time) my smart, funny, cute kids and kids-in-law with me, or my cute, smart sisters, great and smart Mom and Dad, neices, nephews, inlaws etc. We could win...any combination of us. Ha! I LOVE John O'Hurley too! I'll bet you all imagine yourselves on Millionaire and know who your lifelines would be. That could be a whole blog idea! Jayne's dad would be awesome on Millionare.
I also imagine myself as a young, healthy, athletic, tough, woman on Survivor. I love Survivor. Its funny because my kids all agree that I'd be the first one to go on that show. I never was tough or athletic and I can't go anywhere without lotion, lipstick, toothbrush or Mentholatum.
Its great dreaming with you all...
Cute,clever Jayne's mom

Jaynie, Lindsey Voltolini, Courtney Kendrick, and Jed could do their own Saturday Night Live Show and it would be hilarious. Oh, and they would need Christopher Clark, his wife, Lisa, and Christopher Kendrick to make the perfect cast.
I dream of that show happening!

Now that is a show I would daydream about being on. Oddly enough, sometimes I daydream before a funeral. That the person speaking will be unable to go on so I'll have to go up and continue the tribute. I think this is not really a daydream but a similar problem to the hand-raising problem. You know the one, where you have to raise your hand because no one else will? I think the funeral thing is about being prepared.

I'm going to be the bachelorette on a new show called "Bachelorette, The Third Time's The Charm" :) After that of course I WILL be on Ellen. You will all be in the audience, hence gifts for all!

Oh my gosh Sher, I am laughing so hard!

Shana, sometimes I daydream at a funeral that the dead person is actually the speaker and they are unable to go on, so I raise my hand, because no one else does, and I continue the tribute.
