'Drunk' Ewoks Storm Today Show, Blogosphere

Halloween segment turns into fun-size free-for-all

Share

(Newser) – The weekend's hottest viral video is a Today show segment that began with Halloween decorating tips and ended with a pair of Ewoks running wild. The Star Wars-themed show saw the Return of the Jedi supporting players earn a leading role by fighting, moonwalking, swilling a Boo-tini, and humping Al Roker's leg. "This email from a friend of mine: 'For what it’s worth, a friend who works at the Today Show confirms that they were both midgets and drunk,'" Matt Ufford of the Warming Glow blog writes. "Thank you, God!"

Its probably easier to get a midget drunk. Something to remember when you're trolling for chicks. Reply
