Chance Meeting with Tim & Eric’s Richard Dunn!

BreeSays and I decided to take an early evening hike to Runyon Canyon. Usually, I have at least one random celebrity sighting on any given hike there.

On our way down the hill, I remarked that it appeared it wouldn’t be one of those times.

Then, as I drove Bree home on Sunset Boulevard, my eagle-eye spotted none other than Richard Dunn from Tim and Eric Awesome Show.

I squealed, “It’s Richard Dunn!” He was standing at a bus stop, chatting with a young man with long hair and sunglasses. Bree said, “Well, pull on into IHOP and let’s talk to him.” I’m so glad she did, because I don’t think I would have though to do so myself.

As we approached one of my favorite regulars on what my boyfriend refers to as “that weird show you like,” I noticed that Richard was deep in conversation with the young man. I think I caught him saying, “It’s a television show. It’s called Tim and Eric Awesome Show.”

So I think the fact that I interrupted by saying, “Excuse me? Richard Dunn? Would you mind if I took a picture with you? I’m a huge fan of the show,” helped to validate his explanation to this stranger that yes, he was famous in his own special way.

That’s probably why Richard looked exactly as psyched as I did in our little photo-op together. Needless to say, the stars aligned perfectly for me not only to recognize the host of The Dunngeon, but it happened on a particularly good hair day. Thanks, Fate! You rock.
