The diminutive actor Henry Gibson died last night at age 73. Of course, I jumped on the chance to interview him after he passed.
Me: So, Mr. Gibson, you played the neo-Nazi leader in Blues Brothers, right?
HG: That is correct. It was very fun working with Dan Aykroyd and the late John Belushi.
Me: Out of your entire repertoire, what was your favorite role?
HG: Well, I’d have to say-
Kanye West storms in, pushes Henry Gibson down and says: Yo, this is nice and all, but I just gotta say that Beyonce’s death will be the best, most amazing death of the year. This old white dude has lived his long-ass life and is old as shit, but when Beyonce dies, it will be off the muthafuckin’ hook!

@CP, you predicted Henry Gibson’s death? You’re like Nostradamus!

I got a text joke today that said “Kanye West just interrupted Patrick Swayze’s funeral to let everyone know that Michael Jackson had the best funeral EVER!

@Special K, I saw a joke going around with that, too. Pretty funny.

Maybe, if we get lucky, he will have pissed off Henry Gibson and gotten a bayonet shoved up his ass. Man. That dude just irritates the shit out of me. I want to take my Wahl razor and shave his pointy head free of all those idiot designs he has sculpted into his hair. yeah – I would like to do a Brazilian on his scalp. I was going to say ‘head’ but I know you and that would just be too much ammunition.
Reply
@lceel, this is true. I could have done many things, although “Brazilian” is evocative enough by itself.

Oh, Kanye. Is there nothing you will NOT interrupt? Yesterday I was trying to enjoy a nice platter of sushi, and Kanye busts in, all: “Yo JD, I’m really happy for you, and I’m a let you finish, but Gayfish makes the best sushi of all time.” And I was all, “Day-um, you’re RIGHT!”

@JD at I Do Things, there’s a sushi place called Gayfish?

@Avitable, If there isn’t, there should be:

@Hilly, Beyonce has better red slippers and she should have said that.

damn, Kanye has to ruin everything. bastard.
Reply
@Robin, he’s obnoxious like that.

But will Beyonce call Gibson back to the interview to finish when it is her time? Put that in your memory banks if you are still blogging then.
Reply
@B.E. Earl, let’s just hope for an early death due to a plane crash or something so that I can remember that.
Reply
Seems to me like Kanye has a crush on Beyonce.
Reply
@Badass Geek, that’s exactly what I thought, too.

It’s sure a busy “interview” time for you…

@DutchBitch, yeah, it’s great!

Oh, yeah, because he’s a jackass.

@Faiqa, if only he’d just leave everyone else alone!
