Oh my god. Several of you tipped me off the the genially terrifying Today Show cast were dressed as Star Wars characters today in honor of Halloween, but I tried to ignore it, since now one really ever wants to see Al Roker dressed as Han Solo. But none of you told me Today Show bits included drunken, rampaging Ewoks. Watch the above video and you will see:
• Ewoks throwing things at the Today Show hosts during their shitty Halloween decoratiosn segment
• Ewoks drinking martinis
• An Ewok moonwalking
• Ewoks fighting each other
• An Ewok very possibly grabbing Meredith Viera's ass
And best of all, Warming Glow's sources at NBC confirm the Ewoks were indeed midgets, and they were genuinely drunk. I believe we've just seen the greatest moment of television that ever was or will be. I'm honored for it to have happened in my lifetime.

THAT IS THE GREATEST THING I HAVE EVER WATCHED!
I saw the goosing of Meredith this morning, but I missed the main segment.

A) Those Ewoks/midgets will never work again
and
2) It doesn't matter, because nothing they could ever do will top that.

Who ever said Ewoks were cool? I've got dozens of plastic little buggers and I don't think I've ever once heard "you know what really freaking rocks? This amazing Lumat figure."
...that said, clearly, this is the best TV Ewok moment since Chukha-Trok gave Mace Towani his axe after falling in battle. (Look it up.)

I saw this before I went to work this morning, and I was like, oh god, jesus god no....al is not Solo....and then it got better with the EWoks drunk. I Wish I was a Midget so I could grow up to be a PROFESSIONAL EWOK as my career.

I don't think that was Meredith Viera whose ass was molested by Wicket. I think it was Natalea Morales.
If it had been Viera, she would have asked the producers on air if she could take it home, in the grand tradition of creepy gray panther.

I laughed so much during this-- they really captured the mischievious spirit of the Ewoks. I normally hate the Today Show, but this... this is brilliant!

this is great, in part because they try to save face on camera, it's like trying to avoid/recover from a train wreck. Hopefully this is some kind of cultural revolution, it also encourages me to have a few before going into work Saturday as Cubone.

I like the righteous indignation Ann Curry Vader showed to the grown man/woman in an Ewok suit trying to get free booze while sweating their ass off during a Better Homes and Gardens segment. "You're obviously too young to drink (on television) because I've already infantilized you in my mind since you're so damn short!"
I hope the teamsters took the Ewoks bar-hopping afterward cause they are soo getting laid! Ewok entourage!

Did one of them do a "silent but deadly" fart at the end? It sure looks like that where Al's waving the paper and complaining!

I actually saw this first-hand on tv this morning.... I was wondering if some sort of hallucinogenic substance had found its way into my coffee and I am relieved to know it was as real and mind-boggling as I thought. Way to ruin Halloween for us nerds, Today Show.

when i saw that this morning my first thoughts were how much booze did the persons in the ewoks costumes have before and during the segment and two what did wilard and the today show crew do to get them so riled up they wound up committing what has got to be the greatest tv moment for years to come. and what will the ewoks do to cash in on their fame.

That is absolutely the funniest fuckin' thing I've ever seen all day (at least). Wow.
And, I used to really dig Ann Curry, but she clearly wasn't having a good time, while everyone else knew it was the greatest moment of their professional lives. If I could travel back in time, I would go back to this morning and watch it live. Not in New York, mind you, just live on TV so I could always say I saw it when...
Oh, and that wasn't Meredith Viera's ass under that Amidala's costume. That was equally delectable Natalie Morales.

Finally, proof for my long held theory that all tv would be better if they just threw in a couple of drunk ewoks.

I'm personally more terrified by Al Roker's new look than by angry ewoks.

LOL Great Video!
Give those Ewoks and TV show right now NBC and you would have back your precious "Must See TV" time slot.
It Seems like they are all having a good time with the mischievous wino Ewoks, minus the Vader chick who looks a bit piss off. She looks like a real party pooper. Or was she in character?
Ah, the joys of live TV embarrassment.

You all stupid morons should think that there is a little person in the costume and they still treated like "funny things", but they are human being. You americans are really stupid, you just have water in your heads...

Au contraire, Monsieur Max. I'd say the little persons in the costume were treating the Today Show cast and set as "funny things." We are laughing with them and to honor their subversive comedic guerrilla assault. For a brief, shining moment, NBC was their bitch.

That video was great. I only saw the very beginning of that episode, as my class prevented me from seeing the rest of that hilarity. Normally the Today Show does really good costumes (the storybook characters they did last year was great). I don't know what the fuck happened this year... Those were some fugly costumes.
And just so you know, that was Natalie Morales dressed as Queen Amidala, not Meredith Vierra. Meredith was dressed as a really crappy Princess Leia.

That was fucking funny. Apparently, they don't have comedy in Max's country, and any time someone does something that's intended to be humorous, people assume that they're merely acting that way because they were born with a genetic disorder and should be pitied instead of lauded.
The leg-humping ewok is now a legend among his peers. No little person working today will be able to top that one-- on live television-- for quite a while.
