There have always been those great Hollywood stories about how people got their big break. We all know the one about Lana Turner being discovered in a drugstore, and Steven Spielberg sneaking onto the lot in his Dad's suit (even though it never happened). But, how about the guy who's famous for writing a song about 'F**king Matt Damon'?

I did the same thing as Mr. Pink. I showed the videos to my brother and his wife who had never seen them and they barely even smiled at the matt damon one but they went nuts over the Ben Afleck clip. C'mon now, Harrison Ford? Classic.

Since we're poling, I found the Affleck response tired, but the Silverman bit was funny.
Cool School sounds bad.
