After a nationwide contest, Jason Sheedy was selected over hundreds of applicants to be a fall semester intern for the “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” show. Sheedy, a senior at Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD), won Jimmy and producers over with his inspired movie trailer spoof videos. He will be interning for Fallon from his college campus and be responsible for blog entries for the show's website every other week (click here to view Jason’s first blog entry about his life at SCAD http://www.latenightwithjimmyfallon.com/blogs/2009/09/all-that-you-can-stand-to-know-about-the-new-intern/) and several assignments from Jimmy where he will submit videos for the LNWJF audience to view.

Welcome to a new edition of Buzzworthy Radio on this Monday. That week is already over. October 19, 2009, it's 9.30am, Eastern Standard Time, 6.30am, Pacific Coast Time here. I'm going to talk radio.com. I'm your host, Navell Jay Lee. See, I've been actually doing these intros and forgetting to introduce myself. I don't know why that is. Maybe I just think that you guys will automatically know who I am. But, you know, I think I should at least say my name in some way, shape or form, right? I am somewhat important. We'll see about that, I guess. We're going to be joined by this morning. In about 20 minutes, we're going to be joined by Jason Sheedy. He is the late night with Jimmy Fallon Intern winner. We are going to be talking to him about his next challenge, so to speak. His first one was very interesting. He had to basically go out in the streets of New York and get the entire audience donuts. I'm not kidding. He actually had to go get the whole entire audience donuts. He had to leave and never was like, "What? How many did Jimmy say over 300 people an audience?" He had to go get over 300 people in the audience donuts. That was his first assignment. So, I wonder exactly what his next assignment will be. So, it's going to be quite interesting. Quite interesting to talk about that. I think that is pretty cool. I'm going to talk to him about also how he won the contest, exactly his submission. I actually seen and watched the submission. So, yeah, we're going to talk about that, too, how long I took to do that and everything. So, yeah, we're going to talk about that. For those of you who are not on all my Facebook or my Twitter account, oh my goodness, you have to get on that, I think. I actually just put an updated status about how I should go back to bed, but I won't because the next time I'm over here is Damon taking up to telling me he does not believe it should. It only took him five seconds to actually respond to that. I'm telling you, this guy must have radar coming out of his butt crack. I mean, that would be utmost love, Damon, by the way. Always spotting any and everybody who uses the words "shoulds" in their sentences. I think that's absolutely funny and crazy at the same time, but we still love you. So, oh well, I don't know, but, you know, there it is. So, yes, I did that intentionally on purpose, but I wanted to see how long we've taken the notice and then low and bold. It took him five seconds. It really did. That's a shame and darn shame. Now, all right, then how about those still people last night, ladies and gentlemen, how about those still people last night. What against the L.A. Dodgers? Yeah, even I can't pull that off because I'm not silly fan. I'm sorry, I'm going to get reigned over the goals for this. I already broke the news the other day that I am a New Yorkie Yankee fan. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. I am, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm showing the love now to my, I'm showing the love to my ex. I am, I am. You guys, I know that, I know this breaks some of your hearts as it did last night after everybody started telling me to, well, forget what they said. Yeah, we're not quite this, hey, what they said on the air. We're not going to do that. This is a, this is a family friendly show and I kind of don't want to put it out there. That's, well, I think they were going to kill me. No, I'm telling you these, I'm telling you these, these, these yaggy haters are vicious and you either love them or you hate them. And I can pretty much tell you right now, the town I live in a very much hate them. I think I'm the only one in town that likes the Yankees. It's kind of like being in my town and liking the Dallas Cowboys. Once the Eagle fans see a Dallas Cowboys fan, then you get right over the coals. And there's this rivalry between the Cowboys and the Eagles, but frankly, I have to actually have to say this. What rivalry is there between the Cowboys and the Eagles? I'm, I'm sorry, but I honestly don't know of any rivalry between the Cowboys and the Eagles. I think they just created one. Okay, that's just me. Oh, no. But I really don't see any rivalry between the Cowboys and the Eagles, but oh, well, we have it. It's definitely something that's not going to go away. But of Eagle fans, now I am an Eagle fan. I am a huge Eagle fan. And that's probably like the only Philadelphia team that I report. And then I'll refer the Phillies. Actually, I take that back. I do agree for the 76ers. So, so there, so I can't really say that. But I will tell you this, even though I am an Eagle fan, in spite of that, I hate those fans. That's spell. I swear. When you hear somebody spell E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles, no matter how old you are, you kind of want to snack them. And you really do. I mean, come on. Do you really have to go through every day of your lives going to these games and actually spelling the word Eagles? And you have five year olds, five-year-olds spelling. I feel like that Eagles are their first words. I really do believe that. I really think that the Eagles are maybe first words if you, well, if you live here. If you live in a Delaware Valley or in the tribe around here, where I live at, I do think it's their first word. But they have something else better to do with their time than just worrying about spelling the Eagles. But that's my use. That's it. But they're having a feeling so far. They lose yesterday's game and they're three and two. But so far, so far, it turned out really well. So at least they're doing very, very good so far at the start of the season. And that's really good to say right now. I honestly had no idea where they would stand this season. But they're doing absolutely wonderful. They're doing great. I guess Michael, I guess I was wrong. Michael is a very good addition to the Eagles theme. So hopefully the Eagles can keep it up and let it stay that way. How about that? All right. Let's get on to this William Rust news that happened last night. Well, it didn't necessarily happen last night. It actually was broken over a week ago. I mean, Crystal was against on Brandon's buzz on Tuesday, this past Tuesday, on the 13th. So if you definitely want to check out I mean, Chris, don't miss show. You can find Brandon's buzz here on blog, on radio.com as well. I think Kristen was on the show and she broke the news on his show that William Rust landed a role on the on the rest list. I love daytime confidential. I do. But you didn't break that. You didn't break that dude. I'm sorry, Irene did it a few days before you actually. I was trying to think of the words. But yeah, so apparently this was broken over a week ago, but it seems like including myself, we're not paying attention. That's like me forgetting to post on my website about Peter Wreckle and Christian Alfonso taking an episode of 30 Rock and they're going to be making an appearance on a 30 Rock and actually posted it last night. You know, I had this broken on the news on the show last Wednesday and I seriously thought I broke that, but I guess I didn't. So even I'm lying in that department. But for those of you who don't know who William Rust is or don't remember who William Rust is, he played the role of Alan Matthews on the hit ABC sitcom Boy Meets World. The dad, he was on screen dad to Ben Savage. So it'll be interesting to see him on the young in the rest list. And people are speculating if he's going to be the role of, if he's going to be playing the role of Tucker. Notice the deep silence that I just gave. It's definitely because the only thing I can think about is can he really muster up the chops to play against these actors on the show. And the first thing I could say is I think anybody of this day and age on the show do pretty much stand up to them. That's pretty much it. That's all I can say about it because I'm sorry for somebody who's been watching this show for 20 years and watching it in the can I call it the Golden Era? Can I say Golden Era if I started watching it in 1890? Or would I have to go back a few more years to say it was the Golden Era? I don't know. But if I can't, I can't, but I'm saying it now. The Golden Era of the only in the rest list. Growing up when they knew how to write heavy material for all of its characters on the show, character driven storylines for the show, they are not doing that now. And this is a show I still watch. And I make any comments because I love the show and respect the show. But they're just not, they're just not giving us, they're just not giving us what we want. Instead, they're dumbing us down. It seems like when Bill Bell, the great Bill Bell was filled with us, they cared about the actors, not just the actors they cared about the characters that they played. They really had a sense for what made the characters tick, what made them go for one move to the next move. And that's pretty much what I loved about it. But we're not getting that anymore. At least now, I don't feel like we're getting the sense that they care about the characters and the actors on the show. I get the sense that all they want to do is write from plot point to plot point to plot point in a story. And really, that's not how we're used to Y&R. Y&R was not about plot point to plot point to plot point. But now it is. And it's just something I'm not understanding. Perfect example, character of Adam. What is driving this character to do all this stuff to his dad, Ashley, everybody else, in the Newman's Land? What exactly is driving this character except the plot? Is something in his characteristics driving him to be a menace? That's what you guys think of. I mean, here's the perfect example of this. When Sheila Carter was on the show, okay? And I know there are a lot of Sheila Carter fans out there. And I was one of them. I loved one of them, loved the storytelling that they did for her on the show back then and starting in 1990. Just look at that character. Look at that character. Flaws and all. She was driving, the character was driving what she was doing because of her character, not because of the plot. And the reason why I can say that is because, look, when you think of Sheila Carter, the main reason why she did what she did was because for love. She wanted to be loved. She was never really loved. You know, she wanted to be loved by Scott Granger. She wanted to have his child despite the fact that she did terrible monotonous things to Lauren Fenmore, which I heard a lot of people liked. But despite that, she did all this for love. That's all it was about. It was about love. All she wanted was love. She wanted to be loved. She wanted to be in a relationship. She wanted something to last a lifetime for her. And that's what she wanted. Why is Adam doing this? Do we have a reason as to why Adam is doing what he is doing now? No, at least I don't think so. His character was coerced into interacting with a Mary Jane. Patty Williams. Why? His character was coerced into having someone face being pregnant. Unknowingly, of course. But really, what is driving his character to basically make Ashley think that she was still pregnant when in fact that her baby died, still in the stomach nonetheless. And now switching the babies between Sharon and Ashley, what is driving him to do all this stuff to these characters? There really isn't any. Someone I actually heard someone say that he's doing it for his father's affection and father's attention. I love it, but really, if this is what you're doing to get accepted by Victor Newman, you're, I'm definitely going about it the wrong way. Isn't there a better way to be accepted by Victor Newman? Like working at Newman Enterprises, which the other kids won't allow him to do. But I don't know, I have absolutely no idea. I don't see anything going on as far as characters go. I'm going to get reamed over the coals for this too, but I'm really in pain as another example. This cancer storyline could have been a huge, wonderful storyline, a wonderful storyline on the show. But again, it was for a plot device to get came in the lady back together. Why didn't they work on that? Build that trust back. It only took, what, a few weeks to get those two back together. It didn't take them any more than a full storyline to get those two back together. So really, it was just a plot device to get a million came back together. Why don't you just keep them together and be in with? Instead of going through all of that mess. So yeah, it came in line about who he was. All right. Now that really did have potential, of course it did, in that potential. Work on building the trust back with everybody that he is wrong. Jill, Catherine, Lily, Neil, everybody, everybody who he had deceived. But why did it take no more than a storyline for him to be accepted back by Jill, Kay, Lily? What happened here? It just doesn't seem to be thought out as much as they should be. The storyline is one or two. Honestly, I see nothing character driven on the show anymore. And I wish that there was some way to improve. The only way to do that is to bring on fresh blood who still cares about the genre, who still cares about why not and not just the state of who the characters are, what makes these characters. These writers need to start caring about the actors and their characters. And I just don't think that they do, except for one person. But of course, I'm not going to mention their name because I don't want to put that out there. But he knows who I'm talking about. So it just seems like they're not caring about the show. But not caring about it enough in order to have it fixed. We keep complaining about how the African Americans on the show are not having their own story, except for the character of Lily. And we have heard an interview that I'm looking and I don't see anything fixed about it. And I'm being nice when I say this, I feel highly insulted. I'm highly insulted that we were sitting here waiting for a change with the African American characters on the show. And what did we get? We didn't get a change. We got a buff kiss. I don't like that either. If you're going to say you're going to do something, you should do it. It's pretty much how it rolls. Don't sugarcoat it. Don't go back on it and avoid it. If you're going to fix something, you're going to fix something, fix it. Well, I'm going to say if you're going to fix it, fix it. Some more no less. Maybe not going to fix it. You shouldn't be in the business. But again, I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm probably speaking out of my mind. But everybody's entitled to their own opinion and this is mine. That's just how I feel about it. Another thing is that they should be listening to what their long time fans are saying. They're not doing that either. I don't think. They're reading our opinions, but are they taking it into effect? Maybe, maybe not. I'm meaning to the maybe not. I don't know. It just seems like there's so much that we want that we're just not getting. That's pretty much it. But we are right now joined by our guest of the morning. He, after a nationwide contest, Jason Sheedy was selected over hundreds of applicants to be in fall semester to intern for the late night with Jimmy Fallon show. We have the pleasure of having him with us on the air right now. Jason, go on, man. How are you? I'm doing great. How are you? I'm good, man. And thanks for joining us this morning. Yeah, it's a pleasure. All right. So your first assignment, first of all, I have to say, I did watch it. You basically had to run out for 300 people and buy them donuts. Your first assignment. I wish I was in that audience because I really was craving the donut at that point when I was watching it. I should have went ahead and just tweeted at Jimmy, have him stop in Jersey and get me a dozen donuts. That's sort of a secondary objective to do. Also on your way home, stop in New Jersey. Yeah, that's right. Stop in Jersey. Oh, you know what? Now that I said that, I think you should go ahead and do that. I'm going to pick the two right after you got the phone with you. Hey, I got a guy. You can eat some donuts. It'll make a great show. I'll be expecting them. I'll be expecting them. They better not be stale, though. Have to be fresh. They're going to be fresh. I'm going to make it myself, I think. You think? This is what you should do. Have your mom come out of the closet, pick her out of the closet, out of your apartment, and have her make the donuts for me. Oh, yeah. Let's explain that. Let's explain this video that you did when you submitted this for this contest and since they'll know exactly what I'm referring to about your mom coming out of the closet. Okay, gotcha. Well, basically that first video that was a video I made after being declared a top 10 finalist and they asked all the finalists to make a video that was to show them our world at school. So I decided to make something that would show them. I would take it seriously, but something that should also show them. I was going to have fun with everything. And my mom had been down for the weekend. That was actually the weekend I had been moving into the SCAD. It's like a mini vacation bird to come down. I was like, "Mom, you need to be in the video. They'll love that." And I was trying to give away to give her in there. I was like, "There's anything a college kid needs sometimes. It's his mom. And you've got to have that handy." I'm like, "Where would we put a mom?" And I was like, "I guess she would be in the closet." Not thinking of the potential metaphors I couldn't do from that kind of little image. Oh, I'm doing this. See, I didn't go that round, so you just said that. Thank you very much. It's safe to assume that she's still in the closet. Yes, but don't worry. She's fine. She's well-fed. She's got her own little sweet in there. It's working at night. Okay, good. I was like wondering if you're like making sure that you are feeding her and supplying her heen as television in a bed or something. Yeah, yeah, of course. I mean, it's got all the comfort of washing dryers included in there, so she's fine. There's no window. It's going to be a very big closet. Yeah, it's nice. You think you can probably rope something up like that for me? I would love something like that. Maybe a nice little window or something. I need to get you a closet suite and about a dozen donuts. That's right. I won't have to pay for rent, will I? No, no, no, no. That's one of the perks. Oh, good. Oh, good. I like that. I'm intrigued. I'm intrigued by this. Very, very good. I'll be expecting that along with the donuts then, as soon as you've done the show. No problem. So what was the, what was it like when you were announced the winner of this intern for the show? Exactly. What did you do? Well, I got a phone call. It was just I'd come home from class from the day and all my roommates that were just kind of in the kitchen getting ready to make dinner. You know, what have you, just a really generic Tuesday afternoon. And I get the phone call. Maybe we're having a bowl of cereal when you got the call. Basically, a bowl of cereal. Some of the food we found on the hallway and the trash and anything else we could scrape up. But I went out to the, I went to my room and answered the phone and there was somebody from NBC and said, "Hey, we love your videos and we want you to be the new intern." And immediately, I was just kind of like, what? You know, it was just that disbelief like, you serious? Because I just, I wasn't expecting, you know, A, I call that soon and B, that something like that would actually happen. So it was really just, you know, a quote, unquote, "holy cow." Are you serious? Kind of, kind of. You thought it was a, you thought it was a prank? Is that what you thought? Yeah, it was a hoax like the Bloomboy incident. Yeah. Maybe that's not as dramatic as a Bloomboy. That's true. That's just as exciting. Yeah, that's true. Just as exciting with a little less dramatic impact, that's great. Right, right. I've been none of the bad aftermath that I'm sure they're facing right now. At least you are not facing criminal charges. Exactly. And that's always a plus. So I, I, when I watch the video, I, I don't think I could act that, that, that peppy. I mean, I'm dead serious, you guys. If you haven't checked it out, check me. I had the link up on the website, by the way, where you can see Jason's video for this. And I, I'm telling you, I cannot be that, I cannot be that peppy because I just sat there and I went, God, these guys are too cheesy for me. And I can't do that. They would know right away that I was faking. I, I, I seriously cannot pull that off. So I have to give you mad props for that alone. Cool. For being convincingly peppy. I appreciate that. Convincingly peppy. Yes. That's exactly right. That's what it said. I mean, you would just see right away. If I were doing something like that, my smile would be so fake and cheesy that they initially would have to turn off the tape. That's how very much it would be. I think, I think we're about to strike a deal here. Maybe, you know, your own closet suite and the donuts for a video of yourself being peppy. I think that's a pretty fair, fair trade. Oh, yeah. You'll see me being peppy in my own little closet space, watching, watching you, I'm Jimmy Fallon doing your next assignment. I'm being craptastically peppy about. Oh, yeah. This guy on Jimmy Fallon is great. That's pretty much how it sounds. Yeah. I'm done though. Please guys, if you're, if you're getting ideas about wanting to do that, don't do that. Please. I'm throwing that out there right now. That, that was not an idea. I swear. You gotta throw that disclaimer out there. No, no, no, no. Throw that idea right into the trash stand, please. So what is your next assignment? I'm not sure, actually, I think it's going to be a surprise. They're, I'm actually going to talk to the probably later today or later this week. And we're going to sort of figure out what the next video to show will be. But I'm hoping we have a big thing here called the Savannah Film Festival. It's Savannah, Georgia. And I'm thinking maybe they'll send me to cover that because we got some celebrities coming down for that. And it's just a big event in town and for the school. Very cool. Very cool. So, so you had, he already had you like on the streets of New York, like filming, like stuff in New York already? Well, I, since I like work, I'm a correspondent intern, so I do all my work from school here in Savannah. So basically, anything I've done has been in Savannah video wise. Oh, okay. I got you. Where are you going to school? Where are you going to school? Santa College of Art and Design. It's Savannah, Georgia. Okay. Very, very cool. I'm looking forward to finding out what he, I guess it's not going to be donuts again. That's already been done. They'll probably, I don't know, maybe they can have you be like the next Oprah, get everybody in the audience of cars or something. So, did you afford that though? Totally. No. I think I can afford to give everyone like a box of Kleenex, maybe. A box of Kleenex. I go buy a utility. This is what you should do. You should have, when you do that, you should have Jimmy Fallon like put snot on each tissue and give it to the audience so they could sell on eBay or something they may be able to make money. Oh, yeah. And that's going to stimulate the economy. And I mean, we know what's going to happen from there. That's right. See, I think I managed to give you your next idea. See, and if you do that, you have to give credit to me, Nobel. Give credit to me. Or just give credit to me on the show when you go back. Say hi to me. Give me a shout out. I'll throw you a link and you'll know it too much for you or a thumbs up and just remember. There you go. There you go. Jason, thank you so much for joining us this morning. Hey, I appreciate it. You take care. You too. Fun, fun guy right there. Jason's cheating everybody. And make sure you guys check it out on the Jimmy Fallon show at the intern when he does his next assignment. And again, make sure you check out on our list that we have a link to watch his video of what he did submit for the contest. So make sure you guys check that out. But we are out of here for now, say for now, because I have no idea when we're going to be back. You mean we're actually going to have a break? We're actually going to have a break from the show. I don't have any shows tomorrow. Really? Really? I don't know. It sounds highly unbelievable. It really does. But you never know. I might wind up having a show tomorrow and I might find out at the last minute. So we'll see. So we'll see what happens. But right now we're going to be heading out here. I guess it's going to take a little break. And if we do have any upcoming shows within the rest of the week, we will let you know. So for all that's here at Buzzworthy, I'm to Buzzworthy.
