Before I put my head down after a very long weekend, I figured I’d update you all with the two big things I learned today at the “Hot Rod” junket.
The first came from Lorne Michaels - the producer of “Saturday Night Live.” During our roundtable interview he told us that Seth Rogen would be hosting the second episode of the season and that Amy Winehouse would be the musical guest for the season premiere when Lebron James hosts. As a huge fan of Seth, I cannot wait to see him host the show!
I’ll have a transcript up soon from this interview, but if you’d like to listen to the audio right now click here.
The other interesting bit of news came at the end of the roundtable with Isla Fisher. At the very end I asked her:

I’m just curious if you think a “Borat 2” would ever happen?
Isla Fisher: Not at this stage. Much as I would love to see the yellow thong out again (the room erupts in laughter) and the handlebar mustache.
And while you might be wondering why I’d ask Isla about “Borat 2,” for those who don’t know… she’s going to be marrying Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat) so I think she has an idea of what’s up with the sequel.
So while rumors flew that a sequel was definitely happening, it looks more and more like “Borat” was a one and done franchise. And this doesn’t surprise me with how the film took off. Can you imagine if Sacha tries to film another "Borat" movie. Where would he find the people who didn’t know who he was?
And just like the Lorne interview above… I’ll have a transcript up from this interview very soon. But if you want to hear the audio of the interview now click here.
I have a ton of new interviews and movie clips to post, so check back tomorrow for a ton of stuff.
