The jar itself is sweet. But why is this person blasting the “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” theme song while they’re making their video? Because it’s the best. That’s why.

This Korean guy set us up!
J.Y. Parks, Korean pop-mastermind
Okay, so maybe that’s not true. But J.Y. Park IS responsible for some of the world’s biggest pop groups. He’s like Lou Pearlman, without the allegations of sexual abuse!

Comedian/Screenwriter Mike White Signs Up For ‘Amazing Race’

Mike White, who was a writer for the legendary comedy series “Freaks And Geeks” in addition to writing Jack Black comedy classics “Orange County“, “Nacho Libre” and “The School of Rock“, has decided to sign up for the CBS reality show “The Amazing Race,” with his elderly father.
We love unexpected, cross platform moves like this. Keeps things interesting.
Mike is also an occasional actor… he starred in the 2000 comedy “Chuck and Buck,” which he also wrote, which is a must see (especially if you like being creeped out).
