Wanted to mention Paul and BDE Guttenberg both appeared on the excellent Party Down (different episodes.) Paul's character was a fascinating hard sci-fi writer who enjoyed a lovely calvaaaados.
Also did anyone else think of Larry David when they discussed an accidental text on purpose and the Costanza maneuver of leaving an item behind on a date for the excuse of coming back?
If you want another Gutts episode the Village People movie Can't Stop the Music is spectacular.
