Now that's cool!

Of course he won't say Dynomite! But still cool!

Believe me when I say that what he did say was 1000 times better than Dynomite.

We have decided by committee that all improv henceforth should be referred to a BJW or AJW, "Before Jimmy Walker" or "After Jimmy Walker," since what he did was so revolutionary.

If you've got any improvs, it's time to get your improvs out.

 

[Frank Gondorchin]

I'll tell you flat out: I've never been as proud of my fine improv facility as I was last night.

Bravo, Mr. Walker. Bra. Vo.

Please detail!

For me, it's "Pre-Neutrino One-Man Cagematch Harold" and "Post-Neutrino One-Man Cagematch Harold" in NYC.

 

[corycavin]

I hate that I'm not down at DSIF right now! It pains me deep inside. Big love to you DSI and Chapel Hill, BIG LOVE! Eat some Time Out for me....

 

[Lord Hatsumi]

Please detail!

For me, it's "Pre-Neutrino One-Man Cagematch Harold" and "Post-Neutrino One-Man Cagematch Harold" in NYC.

Jimmie re-wrote the Armando in a single night.

 

[benorbeen]

What does that mean, though.

 

[Lord Hatsumi]

I'm going to let Ethan write this history.

I can only describe it as longform meets Clive Anderson.

 

[jesster]

What does that mean, though.

50% scenework
50% Jimmy Walker setting up the scenework

[Cap'n Blackett]

I can't believe I'm the first to quote Jennings' post-show rap:

I'm JJ Walker and I'm here to say:
This check better clear in a major way!

Pictures to come....

Actually, for the sake of alliteration, it's "BJJ" and "AJJ".

And, yes. That was beyond description.

Shaky.

 

[Lord Hatsumi]

I've never in my life been more happy to be that uncomfortable.

 

[qnarf]

the improvs will never be the same.

 

[EthanK]

The thought that Jimmy could have replaced "We're here to do the improvs at this fine improv facility" with "We're here to have a boat show at this fine boat show facility" is quite accurate.

Corey, I wish I could write up this historical event but I can't wrap my mind around it tightly enough. I can't describe well enough how he requested a "situation" for the improvisors to be in. I can't describe well enoug how he decided that the team needed more women and then proceeded to drag a girl from the front row up on stage to play the show. I can't describe well enough how he dismissed certain suggestions as "shaky". I can't describe well enough how Krispy Kreme was a good suggestion for a "situation" but how no one was allowed to play a Krispy Kreme employee. I can't describe well enough how everything was controlled by the mighty hand of Jimmy Walker, a man with only a cursory knowledge of the improvs.

And I can't describe well enough how much we laughed at him.

 

[Mo Nose]

And I can't describe well enough how much we laughed at him.

At him? Not with him?

Oh.

 

[EthanK]

Exactly. At him.

 

[Resnik]

I can't describe well enough how Krispy Kreme was a good suggestion for a "situation" but how no one was allowed to play a Krispy Kreme employee.

Excuse me.

One person was allowed to work there. One. "The rest can be health inspectors or whatever, I don't care."

One KK employee was allowed.

And, according to his blog (dynomitemusingsfromady-no-mitefella.blogspot.pleasestopcallingmeJJ.com), his payment had just the right amount of cheese.

I can't wait to tell my kids about this.

 

[benorbeen]

Oh.

Here I was thinking gold. Instead, it's cheese.

This sounds more along the lines of kicking a bucket of wings into the audience.
