Last night on Jimmy Fallon's show, Tina Fey was on promoting her new season of "30 Rock" (could not be more psyched. Psychedness levels are off the charts.) so obviously, I watched the clips of her interview on Hulu. There was this segment where Tina, Jimmy, and two randos from the audience play speed celebrity. This is probably one of the best games ever and a godsend for people like me who are very pop culturally aware and suck at pictionary.
Anyway, Jimmy and Tina were champs and the two randos were ok, but I'm pretty sure I would have gotten it when Tina points to her arms like a body builder and then waves in a very stately, graceful manner. "MICHELLE OBAMA!," I would scream. And then she'd give me one of those we're-totally-on-the-same-wavelength looks. And when Jimmy stood still and looked like a catatonic patient at a mental ward and then gave the same stately, graceful wave I would have shouted "MITT ROMNEY!!" because we're buds who think alike. This is all happening at my dream dinner party, of course. Maybe some people want to have the Dalai Lama and Einstein at their dream dinner party, but I wanna have some good clean fun. You know that Einstein did some crazy shit in his day.
Potential (and on-going) list of invites to the best dinner party ever:
1. Tina Fey
2. Jimmy Fallon
3. Amy Poehler
4. Kristen Wiig
5. Will Ferrell
6. Jon Stewart
7. Stephen Colbert
8. Ron Swanson
9. Jack Donaghy
10. Tobias Funke
11. Steve Carell
12. John Krasinski
13. Zooey Deschanel
14. Paula Deen (I'm not cooking. Also I think she can give me tips on how to glue on fake eyelashes)
15. Michael Kors (for bitchy comments only)
16. The Muppets. All of them. But especially the crotchity old guys who comment from the balcony.
17. Borat
18. David Sedaris
19. Seth Meyers
20. Anderson Cooper
21. Emma Stone
22. God (This is the best dinner party ever. I'm gonna snub God?)
So this is how it's gonna go down: Everyone arrives in a party bus so no one is awkwardly early or rudely late. Some amuse bouches on my back porch overlooking the Mediterranean ocean, then onto the main event inside my large, but cozy house. The table is set by the home decor buyer for Anthropologie. (S)he has created a special table for me that mixes people's seats up without physically moving at 20 minute intervals so everyone gets to talk to everyone. The iPod shuffle for dinner parties. Paula Deen has made a 5 course dinner of deep fried goodness (but she's taken out all the calories for me). For dessert, an ice cream bar served by the butler in "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York". Two scoops? Make it three, I'm not driving. After dinner, we will all feel comfortably full and adjourn to the living room for the other main event, Celebrity. Maybe we break out into song during our rowdy game of Celebrity (I'm looking at you, Zooey Deschanel). Candid polaroids will be taken throughout the night. And then a group shot at the end of the night (to be posted on Facebook the next morning). Goody bags will include a picture frame with the group shot in it and decorated with each of their names in puffy paint. Also a genie lamp that grants them one wish (but honestly they already got the picture frame decorated with puffy paint so what else is there?). Everyone heads back on the party bus exhausted but exhilarated.
END OF BEST DINNER PARTY EVER.
