Jason Segel’s Nudity Anecdote So Good That He Told It Twice

The contagious, gag-repeating virus that so infamously befell David Letterman a few weeks ago was apparently also contracted last Friday by Jason Segel, who regaled his host at the Ed Sullivan Theatre with yet another story about his ween-baring escapades on the set of Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Yesterday on Ellen, meanwhile, Segel shared the same anecdote — literally the same one, almost verbatim down to the “Dockers” punchline. The look on Ellen’s face is priceless: kind of the knowing, disbelieving grin of a woman praying her audience missed Segel’s Letterman appearance and wondering how the imaginative writer of the weekend’s top comedy can’t find a more clever alternative for “third-string Chippendales model.” But it did play well with the ladies, so hey.
