Brent Spiner and the Hilarious Theater Story

[ShirosakiH]

This kind of story is unsettlingly familiar. Oh the horrible things that happen during blackouts! Injuries, mishaps, and lots of hushed shouting at people.

[webwombel]

Uhm,... it's very funy and adore Spiner. But how can this story be true? I doubt the chair were positioned that near to the edge, and how can you pull a guy sitting in the audience up to the stage?  ok ok... I don't mean to do party pooping... I just like to understand :) The story is hilarious anyway :)

[KeladryL]

@webwombel A friend of mine worked in a play with him a couple years back and asked him about this, and he said that it wasn't completely true. I don't care, to be honest. True or not, he's a good storyteller.

[unnatural6edq]

He reminds me of Matthew Perry with his comedic timing!

[pleasuretrip]

Aw goddamn that always makes me laugh. *wipes away a tear of laughter* It's the sound he makes.

[Dylan1191698]

Eddie Izzard???

[0AmyK0]

@Dylan1191698 That is Eddie Izzard is it not? Eddiiiiiiie!

[Mkvenner8]

1:34 looks like BJ Novak

[smegweevil]

It's Bill Maher!

[b4k4chan]

Oh, that was brilliant XDD

[LiveLoveObsess]

Ohgod, I am crying I'm laughing so hard!

[simpsonfan1995]

if anyone ever wonders why people like to go to live shows it's so that something like what they says happens:

you get to meet your favorite actor live because of some incident XD!

[darktim99]

LEDGE!

[911arie]

hes a great actor, i loved him as data. absolutely the best

[mamatgc46]

Seriously funny. Brent is a brilliant comedian. I love him so

[EXRazeBurn]

"...And that man, was Sean Penn."

start to finish, one of the funniest things I have ever heard in my life.

XD

[TOYMASTERFUL]

I met this guy in person and I have to tell you Brent Spiner is VERY Funny!!

[MrsCamui]

Ya know what would have topped this off? If Brent had said his first line was "CAke or Death?!"

[2dollarJosh]

@MrsCamui I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who noticed Eddie over there on the far right.

[MrsCamui]

@2dollarJosh Love him.

[sokerfreek922]

I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Brent Spiner is AMAZING!

[Raea714]

This is the greatest story in the history of ever.

[yayoineko]

I love the look on his face like, "yes, I accept my embarrassment.." XD

[MetalKittyOTF]

Why is Brent so freaken sexy? Cute--kinda--boyish..yeah, that's it. I'd love for him to grab me in the dark. ;D

[jemp4704]

Great clip if you need a good laugh. I had to share it with my husband before it was even over. I just restarted it and let it go.

[existenceisrelative]

HOLY FUCK!! It's Eddie fuckin' Izzard! I just about choked when I saw him.

[waitingfor2008]

Brent and Eddie on the same stage? Brilliant!! XD

[LegendaryAdrenaline]

oh man eddie izzard was in this too! what a treat!

[kooshy123456]

i cant hear a word hes saying over the people

[UnleashthePhury]

Hey look, it's Izzard! :D

[DEP717]

Sounds like the guy got the best seat in the house!

[sara31700]

Brent Spiner super funny, I love you he is also very attractive, I love his smile and his eyes

[Amilah2010]

@sara31700 me too

[AlyssaRosey]

this was so funny i cant sto p laughing lol

[mystiquesword]

LMAO!!!!!!!! a guy from the audience! my sides hurt!

[miadry25]

OMG he's so much fun.

[RyouRan]

God, this made me laugh my ass off XD And it's nearly impossible to make ME laugh my ass off.

[serellievideo]

Just found the ep on iTunes myself. It's the "Performance - April, 2003" episode, if anyone wants to find it for themselves.

[della888]

This is great! I just downloaded the entire segment from iTunes for free!

[wadyano]

ow my side

[miadry25]

He is amazing. I love him.

[chazzee303]

Brent Spiner is a genius. Absolutely amazing.

[YouTalkShyte]

I knew that was coming.

[knoxvilleguy2]

People are so surprised when their " idols " do something fallible & human - i.e: When they sometimes act self - important, petty or even like TOTAL Jerk - O - Matics.

I'm sure Brent Spiner is a great guy, but he can't be convivial, gracious & witty all the time.

[bibibabkagirl]

hahahahaha. amazing actor. amazing.

[Jiffybob47]

he's so awesome, he's so funny! i think he's one of those people who doesn't even have to try to be funny!

[xXCutieMomokoXx]

haha who knew the android could mess up ^_^

[moreygain3]

I guess Spiner was more funny when not making TNG convention appearances... I saw him in NC in the nineties, he spoke very briefly, took no audience questions, and did no autographs... that was to jack up the price of his autographed photos. All in all, quite the ripoff for fans who paid to see him. McFadden was also not warm and friendly to fans.

[2degucitas]

Sorry for your bad experience. Doesn't say much about Spiner.

[moreygain3]

I believe he has mellowed somewhat now that the shooting pressure is off him.

Quite an actor, overall, IMO...

I loved his appearances on 'Night Court'.

[ShermerIllinois]

That's odd, because I saw him speak at a convention in San Francisco in the early 90s and he was very personable and funny, fielded tons of questions, etc.

He even allowed a Data impersonator on stage and had a bit of fun with that.

Maybe he had a hangover or something when you saw him... who knows :)

[churchmousie]

He claims he hasn't been drunk in 30 years -- hope he was telling the truth.

This story was absolutely hilarious, though!

[jahsper]

hard to tell when your data in star trek hmmm is that make up or jondis

[Gartism347]

This was an episode of ATW's Working in the Theater (2005)...with Alec Baldwin in there, too

[creaturanoctis]

I love Brent, he's incredibly sexy:)

[Zizrastaen]

Brent Spiner... and Eddie Izzard... in the same room... conversing...

*flails idiotically*

[tubasureromeasusta]

yeah....incredible!

[Otaku155]

every actor's nightmare

[ashflower]

[OttoTorrens]

"And that man, is Sean Penn"

[wagnerologist1984]

that guy was a paramount executive. he said, hey buddy you want a job?

[RivaJane]

LOL now THAT'S what I call breaking the forth wall!!!

This made me laugh so hard!

[Thedesertcoyote]

He does good comedy stuff. I laughed a lot at him as Data.

[rtds9fan]

If you want to see him do good comedy go back and catch his stuff from Night Court.You'll laugh your ass off LOL

[idgirl97]

Brent is so freakin' hot! I wanna marry him if he wasn't already married. :(

[iceyice11]

[ufousonlo]

Brent is my favorit acter... My wife and me love his performance...

[0000KKK]

Oh lordy, I love him way too much.

[SnarkLicker]

"I was saving it for Charlie Rose." What a pimp. XD

[TayZonday]

I did laugh. Hard.

[geligniteandlilies]

Eddie Izzard and Brent Spiner in the same clip? I don't know if my heart can take it. Great story, great delivery. Thank you for sharing it.

[LouisLambert]

Was it really Sean Penn?

[revitalsa]

I don't think so. It was some sort of joke they were doing throughout the show.

[LouisLambert]

Ah good. That makes much more sense.

For a moment I was beginning to worry about his ability to cope. =]

[DashX88]

He is gorgeous! I want him...

[cynthiacher]

Brent Spiner needs his own show!

[YunaFF22193]

Brent is so adorable. :)

[cynthiacher]

What show is this? Really funny story from Brett. I'll bet he's got a million of 'em.

[DathVada]

LMAO

[reneen1018]

HAHAHA! How embarrassing! I would panic.

[Raviolida]

...What a cutie.

[ObsidianUnicorn]

Hilarious! You gotta love Brent. :o)

[kittybirg]

And this is why internetting at midnight is dangerous. I think I just hurt myself laughing.

[revitalsa]

Better than hurting yourself in other ways :p

[della888]

Nevermind, I just read the description. =)

[della888]

[loreb4data]
