'Ari Gold' leaves Broadway show

Yeah, but Piven was awesome in PCU.

Kinda blows your whole theory out of the water, doesn't it, BYH?

Gutter is a tool! Gutter is a tool!

Well, shit.

Can we get you banned anyway?

 

I don't see why not. 8)

And, in fairness, Piven's character in PCU isn't too far off from his character in Entourage.

Could be the dude can only play snarky, sarcastic assholes.

 

We're throwing down tonight on Aloha Street.

Ok, in I think 1997 or 1998, Piven was at the Anita Madden pre-Derby party in Lexington, Ky. A huge party which has been legendary in its debauchery.

Anyway, they were there live talking to some of the stars, it was 12 or 1 a.m. and the two reporters, who happened to be married, were talking ot Piven. They ask him how he is, and he's just freaking' out of it. He says "Oh man, I feel like I'm peaking on mushrooms," which took both of them back a little.

Then he kind of straightens up, and starts flirting with the female reporter Nancy Cox, and then asks her what she's doing later. She kind of laughs it off, and he keep on. "No really, what are you doing later." Her husband is just kind of stadning there with this stupid grin on his face. Funny as hell, especially on live TV. A very Joe Namath-esque moment.

As an aside, the husband reporter later got busted with a hooker and lost his job, Tom Kenney.

Anyway, it was funnier if you saw it, but I got a kick out of it.
