When this post is published I’ll be in New York City (most likely Brooklyn to be precise) getting ready for the Olympics (sort of). Now despite what I may personally feel about the political and social implications of the heavily corporate-sponsored Native land-stealing games in Vancouver, or anywhere else for that matter (check out some of the coverage on Forget The Box), there are quite a few people interested in the sports and they are a good source for comedy.
Not quite Vancouver, not quite NYC: Ice Fishing scene from JC's Olympic special
That’s why tonight’s JC Sunshine is all about the Olympics, or rather JC’s own Olympics, live from New York. Basically, we had tickets to The Daily Show this coming Tuesday and thought we’d take the opportunity to shoot some scenes for upcoming episodes and do the live portions of this episode from the house we’re staying at in Brooklyn (thanks to Crawford from the band Sunshine). The rest of the show was filmed in and around Montreal.
It’s been almost five years since I’ve been to the Big Apple (the last time was to perform in Car Stories at the same time Hurricane Katrina was happening in New Orleans) and I’ve never been in NYC in the winter.
So after the show is done, I’m going to do my best to write some posts on my impressions of the city and in particular Brooklyn, which I’ve stayed in before but never had the chance to explore.
For now, though, enjoy this trailer (below) and tune in tonight, Sunday, February 28th, at 7:30pm eastern on Forget The Box TV for JC’s Olympics special
