Looks like Michelle Obama is the guest on tonight’s Daily Show – can’t wait.
And on a semi-related note: I once worked out at the gym next to Jon Stewart. It was half-thrilling, half-mortifying. I mean really. There’s nothing quite like struggling on an assisted pull-up machine with your sweaty, spandex laden thighs a mere 3.5 feet away from the face of someone you’ve had on a pedestal for years. (He was on the adjacent butterfly press, facing me.) This sort of humbling moment can be expected with the occasional gym hottie… but with Jon Stewart?!
PS. A point of clarification: I am not in fact a member of the (absurdly nice) gym that Jon Stewart goes to – a friend gave me a free pass that week.
This is hilarious.
I have a similar story…
On a MUCH lower pedestal is George Bush Sr., who was in the Texas A&M gym (his library is there) when I was going to school several years ago. I was using the butterfly press and looked up to see him waiting for it. Naturally I finished my set faster than anticipated so that he (and his secret service guy) wouldn’t have to stand there and watch my legs move in and out.
