Anyone ever heard of this show? I think I just had the surprise of my life, people. My sister was watching TV, some stupid not-funny comedy that you only watch because nothing better is on, and suddenly she says "hey, it's your ER guy! What's his name, Noah something?". I was like, "no it isn't. Wait, what?!" I look at the screen, and what do you know, it is Noah... and there I was, thinking I knew every single guest role he ever did. Turns out he plays a pretty sleazy hotshot TV executive in this one episode. And let me tell you, one of the scenes had me visibly hyperventilating (dirty talk from NOAH? While sprawled in bed? Wearing a red bathrobe and nothing else? And smoking? Who'd have thought?!) And the most frustrating thing is... I can't. download. this show. from ANYWHERE. it's like it doesn't even exist! *rips hair out* Please, someone, tell me you know what I'm talking about... if I've started imagining hot guest appearances by Noah on random shows, then things are really bad!

Oh my god!!! I knew about this, I had read about the bathrobe scene, and believe me, I searched for it EVERYWHERE!!! to buy, to download, anything... and I had quite given hope that this show would ever be anywhere to see again... And you saw it!!! ;D As frustrating as it may be to not have it, it kinda gives me hope back that it's still around somewhere ... Now we just need to find out where. I remember I had a few sound clips from Noah's appearance on this show. Just a few seconds here and there. I'll share when I find them back... Now Anna, let me ask you... Is the bathrobe scene worth a big big search? Now that'll be my quest, that and trying to find "Can't stop dancing"...

You know, it actually is, just because it's so strikingly NOT Noah... I mean his character's a real pig, like a perfect parody on the TV business and hollywood in general. he's lying in bed, talking on the phone, describing something that could only be classified as a scene from an adult movie, going on and on about his strong, smooth chest, while stroking his chest... I'm not going to go into any further details because I'm in an internet cafe and people will stare. But anyway, in the scene he's saying something about how he's very much against showing nudity on TV just for the "wow" factor, about how it has to be artistic, and meanwhile there's a topless woman crawling around his bed looking for her clothes... So you see, it's anything but subtle. But yes, you definitely need to watch it. Oh man, I wish I were home, there's a rerun tonight and if I were home I could at least tape it somehow... even if it means resurrecting my VCR. I'm trying to get my friend to tape it, but the "taping" that the israeli satellite network offers isn't like a tivo, and you can't exactly save it on a computer or a disk... *sigh* I'm going to get my hands on this episode, even if it means I have to wait till there's a rerun and stand in front of the TV with a camera.

Lol!!! why should they stare? I really think I have the sound clip of that somewhere... I need to find it!! I'll take anything ;D. Quality doesn't matter!!! I remember now that I read somewhere that he was wearing an earring for this role. Is that true?

Oooh, that would work as an alarm clock sound... The more I think about it, the more it sounds true, but I honestly was too busy not believing my eyes to notice the earring. Yes, it sounds like something he'd wear for the role. But I mean, dude, a bathrobe. You're looking at his ears?! ETA: Bev, they're airing it in Israel both on cable and on satellite. On cable it's on Hot Family, and it's called הקרב על הרייטינג. There's a rerun tonight at 2 a.m... On Yes... well I have no idea what channel it's on, but I think you can order & tape it from the Yes Max menu.

Well, it took two cans of redbull, a Stephen King book, lots of chocolate and two seasons of The Big Bang Theory, but I managed to stay up all night and catch that rerun! I got the Noah scenes on my pathetic little digital camera. So the TV is a crappy ancient 21” thing, and my camera isn’t really a video camera, so the image flickers like mad, and you basically can’t really see anything, and the audio is pretty much nonexistent because you know, it's 2:30 a.m, and if I turned it up I’d wake up four adults and one two year old… But hell, it’s better than nothing. So here it is. I know this isn’t much, but for now, until I figure out a way of connecting the satellite receiver to the computer and capturing the video in a decent quality, this is all we’ve got. I tried to transcribe the scenes. Can’t really hear what they’re saying half of the time, so I had to go by the Hebrew subtitles, to give you the general idea. Also, you’ll have to download the videos because I can’t upload them on youtube, because of the format… The backstory is as follows: Noah plays Davis Green, a very successful TV writer who turns out one hit series after another. The blonde chick, Lori, works for a TV network that is desperate to sign him up (although her interest in him is a bit more than strictly professional, and who can blame her). She deliberately sabotages a meeting between Davis and an executive from NBC (that’s Casey Lennox) by calling her and saying that the location for the meeting has changed, so the poor woman ends up at a Mexican deli. Anyway, Lori invites Davis to an award show with her, and is very excited about it, but of course, the limo that is sent to pick her up is ordered by that same Casey Lennox and it drops her off at the creepy little Mexican deli instead of at the award show, while Davis waits for her at the show and eventually meets Casey (that's another video that isn't done uploading yet. it isn't really interesting enough to transcribe, but I'm upload it anyway). Award speech (where we're first introduced to Davis Green)Link: www.megafileupload.com/en/file/132433/speech-MOV.html*woman in the crowd: “He is so handsome.” *man in crowd: “Like I didn’t notice.” *woman in crowd: “his hair, isn’t it great?” *man in crowd: “not really my type.” Davis: “Thank you… thank you all. This award doesn’t really belong to me. It belongs to all the women out there who are making a difference. Women with briefcases, women with stethoscopes, women with badges. You do the job. “ *round of applause* *man in the crowd: I’ll wrestle you for him.* *woman in the crowd: I’ll beat you in a second.* Davis: “I just write about it. But I wouldn’t be standing here, if it wasn’t for all of you. Tonight, what you’re really doing is honouring yourselves. So to all you women out there who are making the difference, this is for you.
Restaurant SceneLink: www.megafileupload.com/en/file/132343/restaurant1-MOV.html Davis (dictates script on phone): “Cut to the restaurant, day time. Amber enters. She flashes her badge at the maître d’. maître d’ says “hey, you can’t”. Amber says… “Go suck on a *something*, Piere”. Cut to the *something* restaurant kitchen, continuous. Corpse lying on the floor with a… meat timer stuck in its heart. Amber enters and… hang on a second.” To Lori: “Can I help you?” Lori: “Meat timer. Any other writer in town would say ice-pick, or a carving knife, but you go for a meat timer, I mean… Wow! Hi. I’m… sorry. I’m Lori Valpone, Vice president of Development, LGT. Forgive me for interrupting, but it was my infinite privilege to be at your acceptance speech last night and may I say, you were such a… such a… I mean, truly, you know?” Davis (on cell phone): “That scene doesn’t shoot for another hour. I’ll call you back.” To Lori: “Vice president of development?” Lori: “Yes, That’s me.” Davis: “Sit down.” Lori: “Great. I will!”
At the restaurant 2Link: www.megafileupload.com/en/file/132420/restaurant2-MOV.htmlDavis: “it’s not about the money for me. Wherever I sign up I’ll make… 50, 60 million dollars.” Lori: “Right. We’d step up to 65.” Davis: “65. 75. I don’t give a nuts. It’s not about that.” Lori: “No, no, no, of course not. I understand that. Obviously for someone like yourself, it’s all about… uh…well… “ Davis: “Edge.” Lori: “Yes, edge. Cutting edge. Well, I mean edginess in general. Davis, you ask anyone, they’ll tell you that edge is practically, you know, my middle name. I love it.” Davis: “Yeah, I don’t mean the characters saying “$hit” every few minutes, like in NYPD Blue.” Lori: “Please. ‘$hit’ is total $hit.” Davis: “Or trying to break the forth wall…” Lori: “I know, forth wall, fifth wall, like anybody cares anymore…” Davis: “You know what I really hate? *something about artsy f***ing ways that the camera moves around for no reason* (Anyone else getting a strong ER reference here? No? Okay…) Lori: “I know, I feel dizzy, I feel like I wanna throw up…” Davis: “So what I really wanna do, with the next series I create, is kick network television right in the kahunas. Lori: “Well, you’ll be the *something* kicker, and I’ll hold the kahunas. “ Davis: “Let’s do dinner today. Oh wait, I can’t today. I got to be at another award tonight. The “flickering candle”. No, the “flickering flame”.” Lori: “What’s that?” Davis: *shrugs* “education, diabetes…” Lori: “Same old thing every time, I’m sure.” Davis: “Tomorrow night works for me.” Lori: “Yeah, ok, great.” *Davis answers phone* “Yeah, ok, she’s at the restaurant, she’s confused… she goes to the phone and… what? What? “ Lori: “Oh, ignore me. Sorry. It is such a pleasure to watch you write, I’m just blown away.” Davis: “No, it’s from my office. There’s this woman on the line I was supposed to have lunch with today, Casey Lennox. She went to the wrong restaurant.” Lori: “Oh… well, that is so Casey.” Davis: “You know her?” Lori: “Mmm, yeah, poor thing used to work for me. But I had to let her go, you know, very scattered. She did things like this all the time, wrong restaurants… Plus, she had absolutely no edge. So I was like, bye… “ Davis: “Okay.” (on phone): “Ok, so what does she wanna do? Lunch next week? Why don’t you give her breakfast. Tell her I just bumped into an old friend. “ (to Lori): “….?” Lori: “Lori Volpone.” Davis (grinning, on phone): “Lori Volpone.” Bed scene (WARNING: topless woman in scene. Not really doing anything, just walking around, but don't watch it if you think you might be insulted by female nudity)Link: www.megafileupload.com/en/file/132338/bed-MOV.htmlDavis (dictates script on cell phone): “Amber enters the interrogation room. The perp is chained to the radiator. *something I can’t really make out about how the perp is surprisingly handsome, a young Rob Law (?) type* the perp says ‘detective, I’m innocent’ and Amber says…” Woman: “Davis, have you seen my earring?” D. Green: “… ‘too bad, I like my men guilty’. Slowly she begins to unbutton his shirt, massage and caress his muscular chest; she says ‘you have the right to remain strong and silent. You have the right to take me here and now. You have the right… *beep* $hit, got a call waiting, hang on.” (to Lori): “Yep?” Lori: “Davis, hi! Lori Volpone.” Davis: “Who?” Lori: “Lori Volpone, LGT. We met an hour ago?” Davis: “Oh yeah, how’re you doing?” Lori: “Good. Listen, there’s been a recall(?) with our dinner tomorrow night” Davis: “That’s cool, we can do it some other time” Lori: “No no no, it’s not a bad recall, it’s a good recall. Rob Malone, our titular head of LGT- *something about how she’s really the one who runs the network* Anyway Rob Malone is receiving the “Cauldron of Courage” award tomorrow night and I thought you should be there, not only because of your, you know, courage, but also so you could meet the people who I hope will soon be your new family in LGT.” Davis: “Yeah, that sounds ok.” Lori: “Great! Good. Great. “ Davis: “Hey, does he like edge?” Lori: “Rob? God, yeah. “ Davis: “Good. Cause you know what I really wanna do on my next series? Nudity. Lots of it.” Lori: “Right, right. Like an edgy nudity pushing the envelope to the… edge. Right. Love it!” Davis: “Yes, but not *something* nudity. It has to come organically at the scene. *something about how any guy can just shoot tits and a$$* Woman: “Found it!” Davis: “No, I’m one of those people who believe that T&A should really stand for tasteful and artistic, you know what I’m saying?”
ETA: and the last clip is from the award ceremony where Davis waits for Lori, who never shows up, and meets the executive from NBC. it's not very interesting but to see Noah in a suit I think couldn't hurt. Oh, and Claire, there's definitely an earring in his left ear, but it's not a hoop earring like we're used to with Noah, it's a small shiny one.

You're welcome, guys. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this, because I think it's the most different that I've ever seen Noah. I mean this character and the script are a little more provocative than I'm used to, from Noah, so I'm still trying to get over that. Any thoughts?
