Wow! The more things change, the more they stay the same.
American Madness for sure.
Actually, Vin Diesel had a small role in Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan.
Not that i am a vin diesel fan by any measure,
but he was in "saving private ryan",
leonard every time you attempt to be witty / sarcastic you prove your lack of knowledge... just be a host
NOT a standup...
Why don't you guys ease up on Leonard. Go back to your Vin Diesel fan boy websites.
It's telling that you commented on the Populist film with the celebrity.
