Score!

Thanks, Thunder.

I'm really suprised Leno hasn't had him on yet, considering all the "Hello to Jason Isaacs" shtick they've unwittingly been playing over the years on his show. I'd have thought he'd be up for dealing with that and be more welcoming to Jason. Guess I'm wrong. I wonder how a celeb gets on those shows. Does the show call the agent, or the agent call the show (chicken before the egg?)? "Tincture of Time" I always say - time will tell who has him on their show and where he isn't. ln

Does the show call the agent, or the agent call the show

It's a freakin' NBC show, so he should have been on by now. What are they waiting for? What's up with that network?

[thunder]

I wonder about that too... It's great that they put him on eventually, but shouldn't he have been on there a month ago?

I think Leno has a lot of power. Remember, he had NBC boot Conan out of his time-slot. I've also heard many rumours of Leno insisting on guests not appearing on competing networks if they are on his show. (Now, I don't know if this has anything to do with anything, I'm just adding to the discussion.)

I keep checking the late night page every few days. I do "find" for "Jason" rather than trust my powers of observation. I had no idea there were that many "Jasons" on the talk show-circuit.

. . . but given the regularity with which his surname is misspelled, that's a safer strategy.

I actually used his surname a couple of weeks ago to search that page, and was momentarily thrilled when "Isaac Mizrahi" came up.

NBC just baffles me. Yes, he totally should have been on weeks ago! No wonder that network is sinking. And why wouldn't a star of a show want to use what ever means they have at their disposal to tout their work, even if it is another network's talk show? That makes no sense to punish them (i.e., Leno- I think that I heard the same thing at some point) if they are just trying to get good publicity for their show. And why would you put him on a show that airs when half the country is sound asleep? (bangs head against keyboard) I'm seriously beginning to think that they really do have hamsters running NBC.

I've been harping about this on Facebook, twitter, NBCAwake official Board. It maybe too late for new viewers to start watching at Episode 5. They lost the chance. I was so mad when Jason was on The Today Show for 3 min outside in the plaza and last week they had the WHOLE cast of Mad Men inside the studio, Matt Lauer talked to each of them for more than 10 min!

Other talk shows promote shows on other networks, something smells not so kosher here. I sort of get Leno (don't like him, but know his powered politics-he thinks he's Johnny Carson) So Jason's on Daly @ 1 am? People can barely stay awake for Awake. Kudos and thanks to the Daly show though!!! And how about Ellen? SHE's had Dan Radcliffe on like every other WEEK. Feels like in the UK, the hosts were used to Jason's outspoken charms, but here, late night hosts are "king" and they can only stay that way by insuring that their guests don't have as big a personality as they do, maybe they're intimidated by Jason, who is quite charming and has a strong personality (as well as being incredibly funny). Maybe Americans really DO have to get more used to him and his English ways (I know a LOT of people, no one knows who he is, oh yeah the blond dad in the Harry Potter whatever it was-thats the extent of what the people I know are aware of, and that he's wanted to remain anonymous, well then, maybe this is what he wants ??)-what a colossal waste of time. He is what and who he is, accept him and move on;(addessed to American late night talk show hosts) unless there is a conspiracy with Capt. Harper....sorry, the paragraph needs an editor, feel free...ln

One of the best (albeit) short interviews I've seen. Never new Jason considers his left side profile (my fav) his BAD SIDE

Luved that Carson Daly mentioned Brotherhood (when introducing Jason's work)

ROCKIN the SCRUFF

[Marie]

Got to watch it on DVR when I get home today!!

[fruitbat]

I taped it last night and watched it this morning. It was a good interview. I had expected something live, though, having never seen CD before.

"Bad side"?

[Helen8]

I recorded the HD version of the show. Man, did he look good!

Yeah, Kim. It was short but good. Deep-fried, battered Mars bar, with salt and sauce.
