In a truly bizarre moment on Friday’s “Today Show,” a strange man crashed the set of Paula Deen’s segment with Al Roker. But it wasn’t the usual attention-grabbing “look at me” sort of stunt — he just dived behind an island in the kitchen and then laid face-down on the floor. And since no one recognized him and his intentions were unknown, you’d think it would be a good time to go to commercial and have security take care of the problem. But no, they just got the camera man to keep a lens on him and went on with cooking. Not what I would have chosen to do, but then I’m not a big-shot TV producer, am I?
Anyway, I don’t get a chance to talk about Paula Deen very often, so this seems like the right time to ask: she’s a dude in a wig and a fat suit, right? That’s just a sassy dude playing dress-up. I mean, imagine a biopic about her life, and picture which actor you would choose to play her. Robin Williams, right?
