I wouldn't be surprised if he has his own TV show within a year. Just think.... Next summer, FOX presents "Knowshon Hurdles Things" at 9 PM E.T. I'd watch it.

Knowshon Moreno Reebok Commercials
That's right. Good ol' Knowshon is already raking in the cash with commercials for Reebok. Thought you might enjoy these.

Famous Dawgs: Episode 4
Today's Famous Dawg: Newman (also known as Wayne Knight)
THE DESCRIPTION:
Wayne Knight is best known for playing the role of Newman on the long running NBC show Seinfeld. According to Wikipedia, Newman is "an overweight and despicable, though curiously well-educated, postal worker" who "goes out of his way to make Jerry's life miserable." Although for the past decade we've only been able to watch repeats of Seinfeld in syndication, most everyone remembers who Newman is when you mention him. He is also well known for being Dennis Nedry, the only non-dinosaur bad guy, in the 1993 instant classic Jurassic Park. Knight has appeared in many other television shows (such as 3rd Rock from the Sun) and films (Cheaper by the Dozen). Finally, if you somehow don't recognize the face in the picture above, you'd probably recognize the voice, as Knight has performed as a voice actor in a multitude of animated projects, including cartoon shows on Nickolodeon and the Disney Channel, as well as animated films like Toy Story 2. Oh yeah, and I almost forgot: he was in Space Jam too. This guy probably has the best film resume in the world. Seriously.
THE VERDICT:
Basically, once you see how awesome Wayne Knight is, you have to realize that he's a Bulldog. A UGA bulldog, that is. His bio on IMDB says that Knight was born in Cartersville, Georgia in 1955. He was an honor student as an undergraduate at the University of Georgia, but left just shy of graduating to pursue a career in theater. Just imagine, without this former UGA student, the world wouldn't be the same. (I have to go ahead and let it be known that Wayne Knight is my favorite Famous Dawg, and I'm proud to say that Newman/Dennis Nedry attended our school)
Here are some great video clips of Knight.
First, a good Newman clip from the golden days of Seinfeld.
Next, a fantastic tribute in song to Dennis Nedry of Jurassic Park. (NOTE: If you don't remember the movie well, you might be confused and disturbed after watching this.)

Famous Dawgs: Episode 3: Revenge of the Dawg
It's time to continue the Famous Dawgs series.
Today I'd like to bring you the third Famous Dawg: Alton Brown
THE DESCRIPTION:
Alton Brown is one of the best, if not the best food personality on television. If you watch Food Network, you've probably seen him before. His show Good Eats has been on Food Network since 1999, and it has been on the air ever since. The show truly makes cooking fun and surprisingly educational, as Brown always explores the historical and scientific aspects of the dish he's preparing. There are always plenty of humorous moments as well. Brown also has been the commentator on Iron Chef America, co-hosted The Next Iron Chef, and has another show called Feasting on Asphalt.
THE VERDICT:
Well, this one is easy. According to Wikipedia, Alton Brown attended undergraduate school at the University of Georgia and received a degree in drama. Interestingly, he started out working in cinematography and was director of photography for an R.E.M music video. Then he decided to make a good cooking show, became an expert in culinary arts, and now has multiple shows on Food Network. Apparently he also lives in Marietta, Georgia. Here he is in a Georgia Magazine article, which says that he actually delivered pizzas while at UGA. Oh yeah, and he also won a prestigious Peabody Award. This is a salute to Alton Brown, a Famous Dawg who is representing UGA well.
Here's a short clip of his show Good Eats.
And the one below is his appearance on Letterman.

Famous Dawgs: Episode 2
Alright, time for some Episode 2 action. Today, I decided to move away from Hollywood celebrities, and move to an even more powerful category: WORLD LEADERS!!!!1
Look below, and behold: Hugo Chavez
THE DESCRIPTION:
Chavez is the 54 year old reigning president of the great country of Venezuela. Being one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people of 2005 AND 2006, Chavez is a vicious critic of U.S. foreign policy, and, according to Wikipedia, has been called a threat to democracy in his region by the U.S. government. Go Dawgs! Woof woof!
THE VERDICT:
Actually, this entire thing is just a coincidence. Apparently, Venezuelan soccer team "Guaros de Lara" has the same exact colors and logo as UGA. SpanishDict.com tells me that a "guaro" is a "small, very talkative parrot." So there you have it. Chavez is simply a fan of the small, very talkative parrots of the Lara state of Venezuela.
And in honor of this discovery: A beatboxing parrot.

Famous Dawgs: Episode 1
Alright everyone, after being pleasantly surprised by coming across that promotional picture from "LOST" with the character Hurley wearing a Georgia Bulldog jacket, I'm just in the mood for finding Georgia representation anywhere I can.
(By the way, Jorge Garcia, the actor who does a great job portraying Hurley on the show, responded in a comment on my blogpost, confirming the UGA jacket as wardrobe. I haven't yet heard a response from him yet about other UGA fans on the show, including possibly Josh Holloway, who plays Sawyer and attended UGA for a year.)
So I've decided to begin a series of posts observing the University of Georgia's most famous Dawgs.
Today, I'd like to start out with some of the interesting ones that have popped up over the past few years, and brought to my attention on message boards such as the DawgPost.
First, we start with: Tara Reid
THE DESCRIPTION:
This infamous picture of the 33 year old actress showed up a while back, prompting mania among the Bulldog Nation. According to Wikipedia, Ms. Reid has starred in classic American films such as American Pie, American Pie 2, and National Lampoon's Van Wilder. She's also known to have an occasional wardrobe malfunction, but hey, it happens to everyone, am I right?
THE VERDICT:
Even with my investigative reporting skills, the origins of this picture are unclear. Anytime I've seen it, there's little explanation of why she's sporting such a stylish UGA hat. Sources say Tara Reid was born in New Jersey, attended a "Professional Childrens' School" in Manhattan, and then jetted off to Hollywood to start acting. I have no clue how she could have any ties to UGA, the Dawgs, or even the state of Georgia. But until some answers surface, we can be... proud to have Tara somewhat representing the Red and Black.
That's it for now. Check back later today for the next Famous Dawg.
