It's on Sunday this week.

This sounds so much fun.

I think this is an interview on BBC Breakfast, and it sounds really fun.

He also said he's going to be on a lap top from a hotel in America... does this mean he's working on something we don't know what is yet?

[Anniemouse]

It sounds like it. Shows how long we have been in lockdown with Jason now having computer generated backdrops and a wonderful microphone, he certainly know how to use technology. I am such a ludite.

[thunder]

I hope I have time to do this on Sunday night.

Alas, the window to his right is streaming in sunshine, making him look a little ghostly at times. I'm so looking forward to the HP quiz. I've forgotten more than I remember.

[Anniemouse]

I have a confession to make. Is it wrong not to immediately think of Harry Potter when I think of Jason's work.

[thunder]

I don't think that's wrong, he's been in many things.

All dressed up and nowhere to go. Guess I don't get to play.

Now it says my email or password isn't correct. But they ARE.

My DH figured out how to watch but not participate. I guess I'll take it. Better than nothing.

[thunder]

I had trouble with the log in at first, but I finally managed. Didn't do much to participate in all the action, but it was a fun and chaotic watch.

[Helen8]

Yeah. It would have been nice to compete. Because I didn't get in until 11:15-ish, I missed the first round of 6 questions, plus a faulty memory, so I scored 13 out of 24. But Jason made it fun and funny, I still can't figure out where the salt went and reappeared in that magic trick. Damn he's good. Also, he can talk nonstop.

And. It looks like he is in So. California. (The fireplace behind him was Craftsman/Arts & Crafts—really big here at the beginning of the 20th century.) I wonder what he's filming? Hmmmm.

[Anniemouse]

I watched it all and noticed a few things.

The Lost Girls got a shout out.
I loved the magic trick.
I loved the impression of Sir Ian McKellen.
I could not post on the site but just enjoyed watching it.
Did he forget to give answers to the last round of questions . Who was the Rugby player who was the stand in for Robbie Coltrane.
I knew Edward Tutorpole so was so pleased with that.

I knew the Dunbledore bee question as that was on the Daniel Radcliffe QI special on the BBC a few years ago.
Loved it when Jason lost track especially over the photograph from a film he was not sure he was in.
I thought he said he was in Atlanta Georgia. Anyone know what project is there.

I did not keep score but I think I got about 15 so was surprised. I really enjoyed the evening.
