The Joey Pants “That Guy” Award
Patrick Fischler (transcribed 'Fishler'), Jeremy Piven's henchman; Patrick J. Adams (transcribed 'Patrick Adams'), the guitarist during Dust in the Wind
In the discussion (3)
Approx. transcript time · 00:53:14Read transcript
- With a lot of nominees, one host gives it to the Mad Men actor who plays Jeremy Piven's henchman, name unknown, who later turned up on Mad Men as Bobby Barrett's husband, the mean comedian in season one, and tells the diner story in Mulholland Drive before the dumpster scene.
- Another host has a different winner: a far-background player, Patrick Adams, who plays guitar during Dust in the Wind and became the star of Suits.
- The henchman's name is supplied as Patrick Fishler (as transcribed), a very good character actor; not knowing a name while naming nine credits is how the Joey Pants Award is won.
