The episode of The Variants that I guest starred on along with David Crosland is live. It was so much fun filming this episode. Big thanks to Richard, Joe, Ken, Keli, Barry, Luke and all the cast and crew of The Variants. Check out previous episodes at their website.

Poor Keli had to endure me being a total douche to her this entire episode. The director kept insisting that I touch her lips or pinch them in the scene where I interrupt her. That’s five or six takes of my sausage fingers all over her face. Bleh. But Keli was a real trooper (and Julie was very quick with the hand sanitizer). Keli, you’re the best!

Did he gain the weight back?

Well at least he's taking the Courtney Love approach and playing to his real life for inspiration.

Wow he even fucked up the Star Wars quote. :blue:

Kurtz had to act being a total douche?

Huh...

Nope, sorry, got nothing.

It was funny, Rob, I agree. But Kurtz' character definitely made me cringe.

it was alright. Acting wise, they need to speak a little quicker to make it seem more natural. The plot was kind of meh, just in that I kinda got the point pretty quickly and nothing *really* happened. I guess maybe I just have no idea who these people are so seeing this dude act all spaced out was a little lost on me beyond the immediate joke.

I thought that he wasn't *as* morbidly obese anymore. Guess I was wrong.

I took it in a Michael Scott sort of way. Except it was funnier because it didn't seem like as much of a stretch for Kurz.

Agreed. The pace is a little awkward. It's like it was almost there but not quite. You get the impression they think they are a lot funnier than they actually are.

From Scott's Twitter:
It's so great to start my day w emails about how obese I am. I'm sooo glad I appeared on video. It's really paying off.

Know what I'll be next year? A fat guy. Two years? Fat. Faaatttttt

So much effort went into losing this weight. I don't know why I thought it would buy me a reprieve from this stuff. Forgot my place I guess.

After 3 years of steady weight loss I'm still a fat guy.

That is him AFTER losing a lot of weight. He's dropped quite a bit already. The biggest problem with this video and his appearance is they put him next to a guy who is about 5 foot 1 and a 110 pound girl. By contrast he looks huge.

Remember when you were downing those twinkie shakes years back? Yeah, should have thought about it then. :cool:

How steady of a weight loss? If he averaged a loss of .2 pounds a day, that'd be over 200 pounds for three years.

Though I must say, after seeing the video, I do feel a tad less sensitive about my weight.

He used to be twice that size.

Anyhoo, the vid wasn't bad, could've been better as it felt a bit too ... 'Amateur-ish'.

I've started watching through the other episodes of The Variants. I'm enjoying them, but I could just be blinded by the cute redhead.

I wish everyone would get over the hard on they get for hating on Kurtz. If he's such an asshole why do you all care so much? Just stop talking about him.

I liked Scott's character. He is kind of "Newman" like.

SCOTT was uncomfortable doing it. And the camera adds weight as anyone will tell you.


I sometimes wonder why he does anything at all because of the haters.

Cuyval Dar

I'm sorry, but no camera can add that much weight. If it could, I would have ordered one long ago. *Sucks to be crazy skinny and tall*

Camera adds 10lbs, not 100.

I don't understand what weight has to do with the poor acting and shitty jokes of this show.

Actually, some of the jokes aren't bad. The execution is miserable though :(

It doesn't Juski, who said it did?

I feel bad for the hate he gets. My whole family is fat, my cousins, all fat, my parents, fat, my grandparents, fat, my brothers range from fat to skinny.

My first cousin is in the same boat he is, 6'6" and was about 500 pounds. He's lost about 200 of that so far so he's still pretty fat, but he's working on it. I get his frustration about constantly being judged. I dunno, I hate hating on people for being overweight.

The Variants haven't gotten better over the course of their episodes. It's still a little awkward. I enjoy it, but the quality is on a plateau.

I don't hate him cause he's fat, heck I probably weigh more than he ever did. I hate him cause he wants me to.

:brick:

Wasn't hating on him for being fat, I just simply said it look like he gained the lost weight back.
