Comedian
 
Dean S. Planet: How long have you been doing standup?
Don Jamieson: First of all, let me start by saying that Dean's Planet is one of my favorite websites.  You definitely have your pulse on what guys want to see - nips that slip, camel toes, see through tops and thongs!  Also, is there any way you can set me up with Selena Valentine from your DP Special Holiday report?  I'm sure she would prefer to date a famous millionaire but if she wants to take a shot at an anonymous thousandaire, I'll be waiting.  She's unbelievably hot!  Now to answer your question: 10 years. 
Dean S. Planet: Do you remember your first gig? How did it go?
Don Jamieson: Yeah, it was in an ice cream shop and I used a spork as a microphone.  It was awful.
Dean S. Planet: I recently popped my copy of Meet The Creeps in and it made me laugh just like the first time. How long did it take you guys to film that?

Don Jamieson: We spent about 6 months bothering people to get it all together.  Being a professional asshole for a living takes a lot of time and practice. When is Meet The Creeps 2 coming out!! Hopefully, it'll be out before the end of the summer.   We already shot some killer stuff out in Vegas and some here on the East Coast too.  We did a bit at a comedy club where Jim comes on stage in a wheelchair as a handicapped comedian and I'm planted in the audience.  I start heckling him and eventually we get into a fight.  I go up on stage and throw him off into the crowd, chair and all.  That's one of the tamer ones.

Dean S. Planet: Is there a new Terrorizing Telemarketers in the works as well?

Don Jamieson: Right now just working on the new Meet The Creeps.  We're not bright enough to do two things at the same time.

Dean S. Planet: Who came up with the telemarketer prank call concept?
Don Jamieson: Jim and I used to just torture telemarketers so we would have stories to tell each other when we went out on the road for our stand-up.  After about a year, the light bulb finally went on and I suggested we start taping the calls and make a CD.  He had the money for the recorder so he ended up doing the calls first, then I joined in later.  We really are jerks.

Dean S. Planet: I saw Meet The Creeps co-star KC Armstrong's standup act about a month ago, it was funny stuff. What cast members of the first are back for the sequel?
Don Jamieson: You'll see a lot of the same faces plus a few NEW Creeps who we've shot with already.  You may even see your first female Creep.  It's gonna be taken to the next level.
Dean S. Planet: Have you gotten into legal trouble from the DVD or CDs?
Don Jamieson: The only trouble we got in was when we were filming Meet The Creeps.  We were taping the Shopping Carts bit where we throw stuff in people's carts at the supermarket when they're not looking and the girl who does our release forms got dragged into the back room by security.  They told her they were going to throw her in jail for trespassing and harassed her for about 30 minutes.  Jim and I got out of the store so they wouldn't take our tapes.  She quit the next day.
 
Dean S. Planet: I only saw the one segment you did with Jim Florentine for HBO's Inside The NFL which happened to be the Ricky Williams one. That was some funny stuff. Have you gotten any feedback from players on any of the segments?
Don Jamieson: HBO actually submitted that sketch on their Emmy reel along with another comedy segment we did.  We didn't get nominated but it was cool for two guys who still think farts are funny to be considered.  I played Lenny Kravitz in that one by the way.  We did get invited to the Emmy's though and we plan on cutting gassers at the table the whole night.  The guys who hosted the show enjoyed the stuff - especially Bob Costas and Dan Marino. 
Dean S. Planet: Will you be doing it again for next season?
Don Jamieson: Hopefully.  I think we scared them a little at the beginning though because the segments started out as Meet The Creeps-style stuff, just fucking with people and that's not the kind of chaos they're used to.  So we ended up doing sports-themed sketches after that.  We actually did one segment that never aired where we took 4 huge lineman from the Dallas Cowboys to one of those cheap, All-You-Can-Eat Buffets, gave them plastic pails and shovels and had them wipe the place out.  We were shoveling the food into the pails and bringing it back to the table.  The owner and manager were furious.  Then we finally just pulled our chairs up to the buffet and ate right there.  Then they threw us out.  I don't know why. 
Dean S. Planet: Is there a place I can go to download the segments?
Don Jamieson: If you want to see some clips from Meet The Creeps, you can go to MeettheCreeps.com.  I think there are some Inside The NFL stuff on Jim's site - JimFlorentine.com.  If you want to see naked pics of me go to DonJamieson.com.
Dean S. Planet: What's the deal with New Jersey and stand up comics? It is suddenly a hotbed of comedic talent...  Your thoughts?
Don Jamieson: We're blue collar type of guys so we're hard workers.  Audiences appreciate that.   They also appreciate dick jokes which is basically all we write.
Dean S. Planet: Where did you first meet Jim Florentine (one of my personal heroes)?  How long have you known him?
Don Jamieson: I met him around 1992 and we bonded because we both had long hair, loved heavy metal and dated a lot of strippers.  Now we have short hair and still love heavy metal and strippers!
Dean S. Planet: Who performs the better "upper decker"?
Don Jamieson: If you've seen Meet The Creeps, you know I have the superior log.  That's a healthy vegetarian diet floating in that bowl.  Jim's are too messy.  Mine looks like a baby's arm!

Dean S. Planet: Funny or not... Bob Saget?

Don Jamieson: Genius.  Worked with him in Atlanta last year and he's completely filthy.  It's great seeing a mom there with her daughter expecting Uncle Jessie and the Olsen Twins to come out and Bob is talking about getting blow jobs and anal sex.

Dean S. Planet: Jon Stewart?

Don Jamieson: I don't really watch the Daily Show but his stand-up is incredible.  Chicks love him too so I respect that.

Dean S. Planet: Carrot Top?
Don Jamieson:  Is that the guy from the telephone phone commercials?  Don't know if he's funny but between the body building and the eye-liner, he looks like Ethel Merman on steroids!
Dean S. Planet: Colin Quinn?
Don Jamieson: His stand-up is phenomenal but it's actually more fun to watch him when the audience doesn't get him and he's bombing.
Dean S. Planet: John Pinette?
Don Jamieson: Haven't seen him in years. Used to love him though.
Dean S. Planet: Gallagher?
Don Jamieson: Please. Okay, I'm off to Dean's Planet to wack my bag.  Thanks dude!  Don
Dean S. Planet: OK man, take it easy. I'm off to see those pics you said were at DonJamieson.com...
