Steve Carell: Mr. Multi-talented

NEWS.com.au has a funny interview with Steve Carell, who talks, among other things, about his stint as Hammy the squirrel in the animated film, Over The Hedge:

One of Hammy’s special talents is his ability to burp the entire alphabet, and it’s a trait Carell is rather proud of.

“It took me many tries, but it’s a talent. I never thought when I learned to do that at age 13 it would pay off with a major motion picture. I should list it on my resume. I can burp and I own my own tux and I can drive a stick shift. I can do it all. Multi-talented.”

The article also includes Steve’s insight into his hilarious Golden Globe acceptance speech.

Jenna Fischer on Celebrity Poker Showdown

A reminder that Jenna plays on Celebrity Poker Showdown later today, June 21st. Check your local listings.

This is Tournament 8, Game 4, and includes Mario Cantone, Rocco DiSpirito, Keegan-Michael Key, and Jordan Peele.

In the Philadelphia Daily News, Jenna provides details on one particular hand:

Fischer, who went out in second place, said: “In one key hand when we were three-handed, I had Ac-Kc and raised it up before the flop, making it $1,200 to go from the small blind against Cantone, who was in the big blind with 3-3. The flop came down Qd-Jc-7h, and I moved all-in. I was pretty happy about the way I played that hand.”
