Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino Tells Jay Leno That He Dreams Of One Day Winning An Oscar

video
» 8 comments

The sudden and hard-to-justify fame that comes to those unique products of American pop culture know as “reality stars” is a fascinating phenomenon to follow, yet impossible to explain. Take for example the cast of Jersey Shore and Snooki‘s inexplicable inclusion on the NY Times bestseller list this week. Another example was last night’s appearance on The Tonight Show by Mike Sorrentino, aka “The Situation,” who shared with host Jay Leno his dreams of appearing in movies, and yes, one day winning an Oscar for his work. God bless America!

Perhaps the only thing weirder in the following clip is the amazing restraint shown by fellow guest Amy Poehler, who provides ample emotional support to The Situation throughout the slightly uncomfortable clip. The way we live now, people.

    FOX will pick up this moron in a heartbeat … he’s so …. ummm … Beck.

    Yes . The same year Snooki becomes Chief Justice of the Supreme Court .

    Well, why not? Everyone knows Hollywood is more about looks than talent. We also have a war against obesity going on, and Sorrentino is clearly winning with his hard abs. So frankly, I don’t care if he wins an Oscar, I don’t even watch that show.
