I don’t know why it makes me grin so to think that Jon Stewart and Paul Dinello both have birthdays today, but it does. What a happy coincidence to think that two of the entertainers that have made me smile the most in recent years have birthdays today!
One nice thing about vacations, I have lots of time to look up old videos that make me laugh. This one is always going to do the trick. I don’t know how long it’ll be before they yank it off of my account, so please enjoy “Roofers” from Exit 57 while you can:
Happy birthday, Paul!
One of my favorite skits from Exit 57…
Happy birthday Paul!

Not only do they share the same day, but the same year, as well. It’s both of their 46th birthdays today. And they’re both REALLY close to Stephen. How awesome is that? It never ceases to make me squee.

WOW! That doesn’t happen very much. I have the same birthday as my Dad and I think that is cool.

Did anyone notice that the word on the back of Stephen’s shirt is “Goodman”? That makes me think of the Mr. Goodwrench commercials…plus it’s just a funny word for this scene. I love seeing Stephen almost crack up as Paul corners him. Thanks MsI!

The Goodman Theater was the premier theater companies in Chicago then. (Maybe still is…) I’ve always think of it when I see the shirt.
This is one of my all time favorite Exit 57 clips – Both Stephen and Paul look great and it’s just too funny. Thanks for posting it, MsI!

Good eye! Does anyone know if Stephen ever performed there during his Chicago Srs Bizness Goatee’d actor days? I’m thinking of that black and white stage photo that appeared on TCR (I think), with Stephen’s quip that the dude in the middle should “lighten up” . . .

I doubt it, but it’s possible.
That pic is from a student production at Northwestern University.

Happy birthday, Paul!

He’s so cute when he tries and sometimes fails to keep it together. I’m gonna watch the character breaks video on YouTube now.

ahh, I haven’t watched Roofers in forever! (I don’t exactly understand why the character Stephen is making such weird expressions. he seems scared of Paul’s character but the Stephen one possesses the hammer!)
anyway, I hope Paul enjoys his birthday! :)
