Amy is one of my all-time favorites. I've always held out hope that she would get pied somewhere somehow. The link is a photo from her own Instagram account and it's not just a face shot so you can see the various splats, plate, and residue. And they both get a face full of sprinkles, so there's that fun too.
Best WAM I'd seen from Amy up to this point was an anniversary cover of "Bust" magazine from 2008. And that's terrific too if you've not seen it!
I'm afraid you're right, Lenny. Looking at the Instagram photo again, I can see what I was "pie goggle" blind to seeing before. Still looking forward to it because of Amy's great enthusiasm, spirit and attitude.
For "insurance" reasons, The Tonight Show has always used googles for any sort of pie game. One of these days someone will tell them about swim goggles, as opposed to science class goggles. Ah well.
Too bad the Latin version (Noches con Platanito?) seems to have given up on messy games lately too. They do about one a month at best now.
If you're an Amy fan, as I am, then this was still great.
Earlier in the interview she intentionally bends over the back of the chair with her butt in the air towards the camera and Amy always has some great style with her outfits (if you're into a tight bottom in black shorts and fishnet hose that look similar to the Black Canary then you're good here!).
I thought she had a few really brief, but cute pie pose moments, which is always sexy to me when a pie's about to be used by a lovely lady! She talked with Jimmy about the logistics of them pieing each other and then proceeded to get pied while pieing Jimmy at the same time. Some really splatterific whipped cream that worked out really well.
Yes, she walloped Jimmy and he was nicer, it was still full facial for her. But yes, they used the small swim goggles NOT the big science class goggles! Still plenty to enjoy here.
Then she buried her face in a big bowl of sprinkles, encouraging Jimmy to do the same, and blindly kissed him. I should note that she really didn't turn around after getting pied because she almost immediately dived her face down into the sprinkles and came up totally sprinkle faced (everywhere she had been creamed a sprinkle stuck). She's just dynamite. It was a lot of fun.
[Shit, Rich, I can't believe I thought it was Wednesday night. I was clearly focused on Amy instead, ha. Fixed it.]
^^Except a restaurant like RJ Gator's no longer exists for that very reason.
The restaurants that do the "pie" thing still have very large, very specific warnings. You can NOT order a "pie in the face" for someone not in your immediate party, you agree not to pursue any legal action, etc etc.
I mean, on one hand it's definitely over-protective. On the other, one of the early "legends" of this community (Hurley Coward) used to make a habit of carrying a pie in his car, and when he saw an attractive woman walking on the side of the road, he would THROW A PIE AT HER AND DRIVE OFF.
So sadly, it's not like this community can police itself. (And hopefully I didn't give Ant any ideas.)
I feel like Amy S is probably someone cool and awesome enough to have been pied before... albeit not in a recording any of us will ever see.
This was a seriously great mainstream clip, crippled mostly by shoddy camerawork. I understand the focus on Fallon and not the guest, but still.... A camera from the opposite view might've captured Amy post-pie and pre-sprinkles. Ah well.
And yeah, I can't make the Hurley shit up. I think he even got arrested for it once (which is probably the reason he stopped). But I mean, there are producers on this board posting right now who have shot and sold videos where the "models" signed no release form and had no idea their stuff would ever be released or sold publicly. Not the same as Hurley's "assault & battery," but not exactly the kind of behavior we should be encouraging. (Or supporting monetarily.)

Like many, I roll my eyes when UMDers all too often trip over themselves to say a mainstream female is "one of us". And just to make it clear, I'm not saying that in this case.
But after watching that scene I couldn't help but think to myself "that's a woman who's been pied before, and probably more than once." I get that she's a comedy pro, but her matter of fact nature during the bit and her ease with the whole situation just makes me think this wasn't her first pie rodeo. And that's even without considering her comment about the smell of whipped cream.
But let's just celebrate the clip for what it is before subjecting it, and the situation, to endless dissection. For those like me who've always thought she was great (I remember her in particular looking great as the sister of Monk's cohort on the USA show), let's just be happy to see the clip.

Jeez Rich, you've really taken a turn this past year huh? I mean, granted I go back further than you so maybe you grew up with the internet or maybe you just never did anything wrong as a teenager. To tell that story with no context is out of bounds. He wasn't doing that yesterday or even ten years ago.
I get frustrated with the community sometimes as much as anybody. I don't condone duplicitous behavior. But you're characterizing someone in a way that seems awfully unfair. I pied a girl I worked with one time twenty five years ago. I felt badly about it, apologized and never did anything like that again. I guess I'm another community member (albeit not a producer) who goes around pieing co-workers right?
Calling out a producer for doing something unacceptable makes all the sense in the world. Bringing up mistakes from a person's youth with no context seems unjustified.
Hurley literally hasn't made a sound in this community in over a decade, so... Fine. I guess it's still "too soon." I didn't hear that he was a teenager when it happened, but sure. Fine. We all make mistakes, especially at a young age.
And let's not argue semantics here: Plenty of members of this community really don't give a shit how the sausage gets made, as long as the wank material is to their standard. But I'm not trying to moralize here. It's a good clip, and probably about as good as American TV is gonna get for the forseeable future.
You know there are people out there, about the age most of us were when we first realised gunge was more than just funny, and this is the scene that's going to open their minds to warming, and six or seven years from now when they are old enough to join this forum, they're all going to be ordering customs where the models wear goggles to be pied, and instead of arguing about tins vs no tins, it'll all be whether the correct goggles are little swimming ones or big science lab ones? The whole thing is a setup by goggles manufacturers to profit from the wam scene.

By that logic I would want all my models in goggles, helmets, and red Hazmat suits a la Double Dare.
