I was at this seminar and heard that Jimmy was pre-warned one of the Chaser guys was in the audience. He’s a professional guy and it didn’t seem to put him off at all.

The “Chaser” boys get away with an awful lot here in AU - this is some of their lighter work! Incidently, Anthony LaPaglia (Without A Trace) is apparently the only person to answer all 10 questions.

Yeah that’s the problem on state side… they don’t want you to step out of boundaries, as it kinda upsets the apple cart of their speaker(s) /event. There is no room for fun ..its only after /before the event is fun …

Cut him off? Why would anyone do that? Its a harmless prank. If the expectaion in the states is that anyone stepping outside the boundries should be shut down then thats pretty fkd up.

Surprised no one cut him off, fun stuff!

Splendid. A prank that was funny without hurting anyone. Why can’t more be like that? Well done to Jimmy too, for entering into the spirit.
