In the indana jones movie he looks a little like early 80s Dave Gahan in that leather jacket, but still,I think old shea labouf would be a good “fit”.

The Super Bowl is clearly the only event (besides American Idol) that would stand a chance. I’m thinking it will be a remake of Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson… and he’s trying to flash America before getting sent to Iraq. Flashing is sort of like kissing, but for adults.

@Nicolars: The agent is technically the star of the show. Not that I can remember who he is.

This will suck. It will suck a lot. Unless they use Neil Patrick Harris. I think he’s got the chops to do this well. People underestimate the particular combination of talent and cheese that goes into musical theatre, and Birdie is one of the best.

NPH is fantastic, but given how Hollywood casts movies he would more likely be cast as Conrad’s agent since he’s (gasp!) over 30.
