John Hodgman on the Charlie Sheen Joke He Wished He Could’ve Told at the Emmys

I met John Hodgman after the “Bored To Death” panel at the Paley Center last night. He was cool enough to answer a few questions of mine, and we talked about topics as varied as why it isn’t cool to make fun of Jessica Lange and who he’d like to see host the Oscars this year.

Who’s the better cameo appearance: Harlem Globetrotters, Nate Dogg, Billy Preston, or Danny Trejo? Or…….

I totally remember this episode. Surprise fact about your Uncle Grambo? I’ve always resented the Harlem Globetrotters. My pops took me to see them play the Generals at Joe Louis Arena back in the late seventies/early eighties and we had awesome seats. I couldn’t have been any older than seven or eight years old at the time. Anyway, as small children are wont to do at sporting events, I was way more into eating food than I was about watching the game. So I ordered (or, more accurately, my dad ordered) an ice cream bar and, wouldn’t you know it, motherfucking Meadowlark Lemon came into the stands and TOOK IT FROM ME! He proceeded to make a spectacle of eating the ice cream bar in front of me and the crowd went nuts. Being the macho man that I was (and am!), I resisted the urge to cry. But I sure wanted to.

Anyway, this whole episode lasted but a few seconds, and the ice cream man quickly comped me another bar just moments later. Still, I carry that moment with me to this very day. And I will always root against the Globetrotters because of it. Well, except those two dudes on The Amazing Race 15. They’re pretty tits.
