Do Any Readers of Hit & Run Know Where Video of This Ayn Rand Bit Is Available Online?
Back in March, I linked to this bit on Jimmy Fallon's late night show, which was about vendors selling Ayn Rand books to eat like hot dogs.
The video has gone missing from Hulu (damn you, Ellsworth Toohey!). Can anyone find it online, I wonders?

What do I get if I find it, Nick? I don't work for free.
You get an empty bottle of leather conditioner for your services.
No matter how hard you stamp your foot, Nick's not giving you an Obama buttplug, Epi.
Have you seen the skit in question? It was truly awful. Unfunny even by Jimmy Fallon standards.
This is a much better take on Jimmy Fallon and SNL, Nick.
Unfunny even by Jimmy Fallon standards.
Wow, that's a frightening description. That must be very, very unfunny.
I noticed this at the Hulu page:
Google video search turned up several alternate sites with the video, but apparently they were all linking to Hulu, so it's gone, unless you can find a bootleg copy. (There are viable links to the interview between Fallon and Myers, but the Ayn Rand bit must have been during another segment.)
I just watched the first half of The Fountainhead on TV the other night, and while I find it to be a generally decent piece of entertainment (the Book, that is), with a nice theme, the film version was awful. I actually really truly think this could benefit from a remake.
But you gotta love that post-rape line,
"I'm looking for the tall, gaunt man who works a drill."
Nice!
I actually really truly think this could benefit from a remake.
I agree, but I wouldn't trust those pinkos in Hollywood to do it.

Matt and Trey might be willing to do a marionette version.
It wasn't rape, she wanted it. Plus did you see the way she was dressed? OMG.
Dominique, Dominique! The Fountainhead movie is cool in its peculiar way. Remember Ayn describing Dominique as herself in a bad mood? (Or a very horny mood?) It's a hoot 'from a certain point of view' as Obi Wan would say.
I think Dominique is like Ayn Rand in a tall, thin, hot blond sort of mood.
You know... this may be the film-composer in my rearing its ugly head, but I think the thing that made the movie version of The Fountainhead suck the most was Max Steiner's ridiculous score. That guy had this uncanny ability to force violins to scrape away in a register no human should ever have to endure.
*in me rearing its ugly head*
...preview fail.
Dear Leader Obama is the image I've had in my mind of Howard Roark. I'm just sayin'
I pray to Obama. Prayer changes things.
