The Cole Hamels Media Train Rolls Through Ellen

Posted by meech.one at 7:12 pm ET 10 Comments

Cole Hamels is surely taking advantage of his new found fame.

Since being named World Series MVP, Hamels has been hitting the talk show circuit with a vengeance; stopping by Letterman, BDSSP, DWTS, and Jim Rome. This afternoon was no different, as his coming out party continued with a quick segment on the Ellen DeGeneres show.

Cole popped in, gave everyone’s favorite lesbian talk show host one of his jerseys, sat through one of her boring comedy routines (What if you never sat down again? Really?), and finished it off with a dunk tank-submerging of Ellen’s executive producer while Pat Benetar blasted from the speakers.

Yeah, it was that good.

I would also like to point out that Ellen’s producer, Ed Glavine, got as big (if not bigger) of an applause as Cole Hamels did. Those daytime talk audiences are quite possibly the dumbest form of human beings on earth.

Ugh. To give you an idea of how asinine that particular studio audience is, here:

@Tug Haines
Zach Galifianakis is the greatest stand up comedian out there, no questions asked.

His brother Seth is pretty good as well. His Fugees commentary is true comedy gold.

Meech, you’re going to tell me that within a few days of each other you have a post about Ellen and Dancing with the Stars and you’re going to pass yourself off as a straight man?

@The Phunyun: Honest to God, my sister sent me a text message saying Cole was in the crowd at Dancing With The Stars (and even I’ll admit that my shortening of that show to DWTS is tres ghey, but that was sorta the point), so all I had to do was go get the screengrab.

For the Ellen appearance, I got not one BUT TWO tip e-mails telling me about it. The one fella said his sister also informed him of it, and the second (I wasn’t gonna call him out, but…) was none other than How do you spell retard? Who I imagine was sitting on his sofa with his hair in curlers while cracking up hysterically at Ellen’s monologue.

Me watching Ellen, most likely due to my little Puerto Rican girlfriend named 151. Me and her usually watch the Food Network when we get together.

well, in the audiences defense, they have no idea who Cole is and what baseball is. Now, bring out a couple of WNBA ’stars’, that place is goin apeshit

Possibly a little of both?

I’m aware anyone can edit a Wiki account (I promise it wasn’t me), but whoever put that on there — much appreciated.

@Maria

Mostly creepy. At least 1/3 creepy, cause I may or may have not edited that Wiki page a couple months ago. But I’m still waiting for my Urban Dictionary definitions to be approved.
