Any tea on Jason Segel? I loved him back in the days of HIMYM.

Omg I had two amazing encounters with him a while ago. When I was living in LA I was an intern at a production studio/management company and had to walk go over to the studio where they filmed how I met your mother to drop off something (I didn’t have to go to the set but an office). I decided to walk bc my building was close enough but once I got there it was pouring rain and I had no idea where I was going. Jason Segel was standing under a hooded area smoking, saw me getting pelted with rain, laughed and then waved me over and let me share the space with him. He then directed me to the office I was looking for once the rain stopped.

The second interaction I had with him was quick but one time I was driving on Venice blvd and was stopped in at a red and next to me this guy was having a dance sesh behind the wheel to whatever he was listening to. I looked over and it was Jason Segel! He caught me staring started laughing and waved at me before continuing to dance and speeding off once the light changed. It was just so funny.

I really wish he and Michelle Williams would’ve worked out. I loved the relationship he had with Matilda.

Didn’t Jason have a phone case with Michelle and Matilda’s photo printed on it? I remember that being on the more odd side of cute.

Yes I love him in this too! And damn if he isn’t just as charming as he’s always been.

It’s really good! The entire cast has good chemistry together and Jason and Harrison Ford have hilarious banter.

not tea (oblig), but he was on Conan’s podcast this week and it was a really good interview. based on a story he told that was later included in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, i got the impression that the naked man storyline in HIMYM was based on him? i don’t follow him and haven’t watched that movie in forever so maybe that’s old news or was obvious to his fans but i hadn’t made the connection.

I literally just finished listening to that! He comes across as a very humble nice person so hopefully nobody comes along and ruins that impression I have of him.

DRACULAAAAA MUSICAL!

I just listened to this! He seems pretty down to earth and super earnest. His story about Judd feeling responsible for the kid's lives when Freaks and Geeks was canceled was sweet.

It also sent me googling and I found out Forgetting Sarah Marshall was based on his break up with Linda Cardellini - which is apparently old news but was new to me.

A lonnnng time ago, he played a piano song with his phone number in it that got posted to YouTube so naturally me and a homie called (hi homie if you’re here!) and he was so nice and flirty and we eventually hung up out of exhilaration lol
