Jim Carrey hijacks Today show

I wish I would have seen this so I could have a better perspective on it for you but, alas, I do not watch the Today show if I can help it. So, I'm just going on an article and a slideshow here. On Tuesday, when Katie Couric was outside interviewing Bonnie Hunt about her new movie, Cheaper by the Dozen 2, Jim Carrey appeared in the crowd and hijacked the whole segment. Jim had been on the show earlier, promoting his new movie, Fun with Dick and Jane. Of course, he's a funny guy and he made everyone laugh. It was probably pretty darn funny and the crowd looks like they just went nuts when he started interacting with them. He gave crowd members hugs and dug through the toy box. Luckily, Bonnie Hunt is a true class act. Once she realized the cameras had all turned to Jim and his mugging, she joined in with him and started dancing around the staging area. Oh well, it was probably more interesting than yet another interview about yet another movie opening over the holidays.

I saw this too! It was hilarious. I missed his actual interview, but I caught the part from that picture. At one point he was lying on the ground behind that gate thing with the crowd all around him. He was all jumping around so when Bonnie went over there, she took some woman's coffee so that Jim didn't knock it out of her hands. When she tried to give it back to the woman, Jim grabbed it and started drinking from it. Katie was having a hard time keeping a straight face.

I caught this. He was actually really funny. When they panned the crowd like they usually do, you saw the usual people cheering, holding signs, etc, and then you saw Jim Carrey in the middle going crazy. Heh.

I was a little worried Hunt was going to be ticked at him for taking over her segment, but it went well.
