do they recreate the scene where judd meets dave eggers?

wait what

god how can this thread keep on giving

DC: Do you still keep in touch with Dave Eggers (author of "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius")?

Judd Winick: No I don’t. I was quite surprised to find myself in his book, but Dave was very fair, very complementary, and very kind. He could have been cruel, and no one would have faulted him. I did send him a letter and a copy of Pedro and Me.

Judd is purple and Dave is yellow.

wait but how did they meet in the first place? i feel like i'm missing a crucial part of the real world mythos here.

apparently he interviewed to be on the show? idk, i never read "a heartbreaking work..."

apparently judd beat him out for a spot on that season!

the Judd they cast in the TV movie is kinda hot

Judd was on a job hunt sending comics to the SF Chronicle? and also to Eggers' Might magazine which was really big at the time.
Judd did land the chronicle gig I think. but not Might magazine. But somehow Eggers also met Puck because in the book, he describes him as "ollie ollie 720 frontside grind" or something.

the fake Puck is so awful

eggers made it to the final round for that season and theres a long section in the book where he imagines an interview w/ an mtv producer

& then puck (and maybe judd too?) did a photoshoot for might magazine when eggers was running it

Judd's comic strips were so awful.

apparently judd beat him out for a spot on that season!

Now I'm imagining some alternate universe scenario where Eggers was on the show...think of all we might have been spared.

Travelling makes it so I can't discover threads like these until so much later

Anyhoo:

GOD I REMEMBER THAT SEX IN THE 90s!

Other remember when shit: peak-era Dan Cortese as a Burger King spokesman, during that weird time in 1993 when BK served popcorn and tried to be a respectable restaurant, where the surly teenaged employees would actually deliver the food to your table.

Also: with Red Johnny & the Round Guy, the Round Guy quit show-biz and Red Johnny went back to his real name and started doing voice over work. Later, he hooked up with Matt Groening and is now best known for voicing a certain alcoholic robot.

I worshipped Liquid TV, to the point of taping entire seasons of it. This was during the years when I was a massive tapehead and my folks would buy me like 10-packs of blank VHS for christmas and it was awesome. It would take me a few more years before I got into actual decent music(I was a big Aerosmith fan at the time), but...

They gave Alex Winter his own sketch comedy show in the summer of '91, around the same time Bogus Journey came out. Eddie the Flying Gimp and Willard Shrek the convenience store guy are still referenced by my brother & I to this day.

What was the name of the one sorta-hott alt-chick on RW: Montana or something? I can't even remember which mid-90s season she was on, except that she showed up in the Road Rules competition a few times.

man, youtube really does have a lot of crazy 90s mtv shit

From a recent John Dimaggio interview at The AV Club:

AVC: Whether it’s to your amusement or your horror, there are actually some clips of you guys on YouTube.
JD: Oh, yeah, uh... [Gives a low, sad whistle.] Nah, we were good. We did well in New York, and we were together for six years. My old partner—I don’t need to bring him up. He’s a… That guy’s a real… Uh, yeah. [Laughs.]
AVC: His name doesn’t seem to be anywhere online. There are lots of references to you having been Red Johnny, but…
JD: Aw, yeah. Good. I’m not even going to tell you what it is, because I don’t want him to get any taste of what it’s like to still be in show business. Because he is out of show business. He went back to Connecticut to work at his college job. In fact, the last time I saw my comedy partner—by the way, comedy teams never work out. They never work out. [Laughs.] Let me give you an example, because everybody that I know hates the guy. Like, all the other comics are just, like, “Oooooooh….” I left for Los Angeles, and he tried to do the jokes by himself, but it was just bad. He had some problems, and he was just way off. Dave Attell basically said, “Red Johnny is on Chicago Hope, and The Round Guy’s just hoping to get to Chicago.” That was a Dave Attell joke. A Dave Attell jam.
I came up with all those guys, like Attell, [Dave] Chappelle, Jay Mohr, Jim Breuer, Sarah Silverman. I mean, I remember when Sarah Silverman couldn’t get a laugh. I remember all kinds of people. Everybody. Marc Maron. Who else? I remember seeing Ray Romano. We were all doing our stuff, and [Ray Romano voice] Ray would, uh, do that key-jingling bit that he always did, where he, uh, jingled the keys. So, yeah, I came up in that. It was funny because my comedy partner—and this is what we’re getting back to—we went to theater school at Rutgers together, and he was on academic or artistic probation or some shit like that, so he was out in L.A. for, like, six months, and he got the idea that we should put together a comedy act. So we did. And it lasted for about six years, and then I was, like, “I can’t do this anymore, I’m gonna fucking strangle you.” So, I ended the act, I booked a job, and, uh, it was obvious who was carrying the act after I broke it up. [Laughs.]
But the last time I actually saw him—and this is the best part—was on a CNN clip about workers that have naptime at work. Like, nap-break rooms. That was the last time I saw him. My mother told me he was on CNN, and I looked it up, and I saw him on CNN talking about taking naps at work and how much he needed one. And it was just, like, “Wow, that fucking guy is an asshole.” [Laughs.] That was the last time I saw him, and I’m glad. He’s back doing the job that he was doing in college. Except I think he’s moved up the ladder. Some.

Montana was on the Boston season. I think she was the lesbian that year?
Or was she obnoxious one who didn't get along with a girl named Camelia (or something)?
Not sure if either is the one kingfish is referring to.

Wait, I think Genesis was the lesbian.

Genesis was the lesbian; Montana was the annoying one who gave a kid she was looking after wine at a party and got fired (lol)

dan your ability to recall this stuff is nothing less than heroic.

that season also featured:

future Congressman and former lumberjack SEAN DUFFY
Kamila (wifey)
Elka (wifey #2)
some boring skater dude
SYRUS (aka total inspiration in that it was amazing that a dude who looked so much like a gummi bear could get so many chicks)

Oh yeah! I think that was one of my favorite seasons. Montana also had an awful bf named Vaj(???)

And Sean married Rachel from the San Francisco season, right?

Was the skater the one who was related to Bill Clinton?

i will pass along news of this victory to neil when i next see him.

'it was close. you best someone else by a vote'.

beat. or bested.

They've converted that firehouse they lived in into a rec center IIRC; I did a recording session in Church of the Advent, which is a block down the street, a few years ago and was going "why does this all look so familiar WAIT A SECOND THAT'S THE RW HOUSE" on my way there. It was a canny location; you can barely see the house at all from the main street but it's massively present and perfect for those sweeping exterior shots once you get on the side street.

I am late for the Beth portion of the thread, but I think I saw Beth from RW:LA in a TV commercial once. I don't remember what the commercial was for but I think she was one of a group of party guests (no lines or closeups).
And do you remember there was an episode where she'd had headshots taken and they were really awful?

of course they were, they were pictures of her face

looool

COLD AS ICE

it seems like there were a lot more girls who looked like the girl in the upper-left in the '90s. did some sort of face-shape-change occur in 2000?

The orange-looking chick in the last one was this little blonde girl from my school. I think i saw her at a hockey game or two.

Oh good.
for some reason Miami was my least-watched of those.

I found her very annoying-the orange chick that is. The other curly headed girl was also annoying.

Cast member successes

Appearing on the program has often served as a springboard to further success, especially in the entertainment industry.[13]

Eric Nies of the New York cast went on to become a successful model, actor, and television host, and was inducted into the Television and Broadcasters' Hall of Fame for his pioneering work in reality television. His housemate, Kevin Powell, became a successful author, poet, journalist, and 2006 candidate for United States House of Representatives for New York's 10th district. Their housemate Heather B. enjoyed a career as a hip-hop music artist.

Los Angeles cast member Beth Stolarczyk has produced men's and women's calendars and television programs featuring reality TV personalities, including herself, Las Vegas' Trishelle Cannatella, Chicago's Tonya Cooley, and Back to New Yorks Coral Smith. Stolarczyk and Cannatella have also appeared in Playboy magazine, as have Las Vegas' Arissa Hill and Miami's Flora Alekseyeun. Cooley appeared on playboy.com.

London cast member Jacinda Barrett has become a film actress, appearing in films such as Ladder 49, The Namesake, The Human Stain, and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason.

2004 San Diego castmate Jamie Chung has appeared in various television and film roles, including Dragonball Evolution and Sorority Row.

Lindsay Brien of the Seattle cast became a radio and CNN personality.

Hawaii cast member Tecumseh "Teck" Holmes III appeared in National Lampoon's Van Wilder.

Chicago cast member Kyle Brandt’s acting career includes starring in the soap opera Days of our Lives. His castmate Tonya Cooley also appeared on an MTV special of True Life: I'm a Reality TV Star.

Las Vegas castmembers Trishelle Cannatella and Steven Hill appeared in the horror film Scorned. Cannatella herself has also appeared on other reality shows, such as The Surreal Life, Battle of the Network Reality Stars, and Kill Reality, the latter of which also featured Hill and Cooley. Hill, along with housemate Alton Williams, hosts a radio show.

Sean Duffy of the Boston cast served several terms as the Attorney General of Ashland County in Wisconsin, and in November 2010 was elected to the United States House of Representatives, winning the seat as a Republican in Wisconsin's 7th Congressional District.[14] Mike Mizanin has also found fame as a WWE wrestler wrestling under the name "The Miz," a character he first debuted during his season on The Real World and has since won the WWE Tag Team Championship, the WWE United States Championship, and the WWE Championship.

Dozens of former cast members from The Real World and its sister production Road Rules have appeared on the spin-off series The Challenge, which pays $100,000 or more to its winners. Various cast members have also earned livings as public speakers, as Bunim-Murray Productions has funded their training in motivational speaking by the Points of Light Foundation since 2002, allowing them to earn between $1,500 and $2,000 for an appearance on the college lecture circuit.[15]

So, Hawaii is not pictured on here.

Stolarczyk and Cannatella have also appeared in Playboy magazine
