Later today, I will sit on a bench just outside Warner Bros. Studios in a parking garage for more than a couple hours with a ticket in-hand in hopes of being handed that treasured, worn yellow card with a number well under 80 (to be safe).

Attending a sitcom taping, like “Two and a Half Men” or, like tonight, “The Big Bang Theory,” is s feat upon itself. First, clicking your way to a ticket online is brutally tough. But then you need to exercise dedication and patience to gain access to a seat inside the set. Having gone through this process before (including the pilot for “TBBT” and scenes in the series finale of “Two and a Half Men”), hopefully the odds will be good today.

If all goes to plan, the writing and acting will be incredible as always. And, hopefully, there will be a celebrity impression or two…

Let’s all agree that when Nicolas Cage is involved, everybody wins.

This past Saturday, I was in a beer and wine restaurant/store hybrid with my parents on a business trip/vacation that included a stop in Ojai, California. It was a nice little low-key place. And not only were the fish tacos the best I’ve ever had, but it was made entertainingly awesome because of the person I recognized when we arrived.

(Start thinking of the movie “I Love You, Man”).

For those who have seen “How I Met Your Mother,” you will know the name Jason Segel. Eating with a few of his friends, I knew it was Marshall right away (his iconic voice further confirmed it). Sitting at the next table, I chose to play it cool and not bother him, even though he’s known to be a really nice guy. Sometimes, the sighting is prize enough.

And just how cool is Jason Segel? As I was enjoying these amazing fish tacos, I couldn’t help but think of the following…

Sitting so close to him was even better than a Rush reunion concert!
