Madrid: First Night

The day we landed in Madrid I had a talk show to do. It's called "El Hormiguero" (the ant hill).

The interview starts out with you and the host Pablo,

but then these two ant puppets pop out and take over.

They asked me to pick lottery numbers so that everyone in the audience would play the same ones that week.


Then we did some experiments with dry ice.
(Note the show's resident "Mad Scientist" has a Dharma logo, he said he's had it for three years on the show now.)

It was a pretty wild show but I had a lot of fun.
As it turned out mine was their number one rated show featuring an international guest, beating both Will Smith and Hugh Jackman. That felt pretty awesome.

I held that title for one whole day by the way, until I was dethroned by Miley Cyrus.
I didn't stand a chance.

HEY! Nothing to do with your BLOG but I just came from the SPINAL TAP concert at the Paramount theater here in Oakland, Ca. and they gave you guys (LOST) a shout out! BY SPINAL TAP! They said they were sorry we were all going to miss the show tonight. I've been reading you blog for some time and never thought I'd write you, but this was a must. Also, the show was awesome. They opened with an acoustic version of HELLHOLE and it just got better from there...and it was funny too. I still can't believe you got a shout out! Lucky Bastard!
Cj
PS I dated a woman in Spain for some time. They are a beautiful people. Get some Tapas and beer.

Hi Jorge,
You are so kind summing it up as "pretty wild". That is a very weird show always, but that night they were definitely not inspired. A bit overwhelmed, some of us think.
I was lucky enough to assist to the next evening event. It was a lot of fun, thank you!
I hope you enjoyed your visit to Madrid.
Hugs,
Carol.

NL said...

Thanks for coming to Spain, Jorge!! I loved your Spanish, it was GREAT and funny. As for "El hormiguero"..., lots of fans (including me) were a bit disappointed that night... We're sure they could have done much better work. They kind of "wasted" your visit, from the point of view of a fan...
Anyway, for us, yours will still be the number one rated show.
And of course, I played your lottery numbers, let's see what happens!!
THANK YOU FROM SPAIN!

Zar said...

Jorge...Belive me, you'll never be dethroned on our hearts.
You are too generous in your comments about "El Hormiguero".
It was a very, very, very bad interview. You deserve something better.
Also, the spanish fans do´'t give a fuck if you like to clean your ass with towels or not. It´s your privacy and if you want say it you have your blog...
Once again, we apologize...

We miss you dude!!

Akaith said...

So, we are waiting for the real night (after show) report! Did you visit any bar, Jorge? You liked them? There are more awasome things in Madrid, hope you enjoyed your vist in there!

Enrique Sánchez said...

Hi jorge.
i saw you in the TV show. It was fun.
I hope you had a pleasant stay in Spain.
Greetings.

IslandPearl said...

Didn't see that interview, but loved you on Jimmy Kimmel.

Griffey and Charlie said...

Hi Jorge!
Your appearance on El Hormiguero is on YouTube (shocking;)

What was that disembodied female computer-like voice saying?

p.e. those ant puppets are creee-peee!

Adri said...

Hi Jorge!

It was so nice to have you here :) And as they tell you above, you're being so diplomatic describing "El Hormiguero" as a wild show.

Pablo Motos' interviews are not very popular among some audience.. we just hate how he (and the program) do it.. they don't understand that a international guests doesn't get the jokes he does because they're impossible to translate..

But, anyway.. it's an experience too, isn't it?

Glad you had a good time ;) can't wait to read how you diplomaticly describe how insistent were the movie theatre attendants with questions they knew you weren't gonna answer xD

Again, thanks for coming! I had a really good time on tuesday and I think your a really kind, natural and honest :)

greetings from spain!!

FinoBlogger said...

Jorge... you're so generous with your comments about El Hormiguero. As I said yesterday... you're great dude!

I hope you'll come again to Spain, we'll be waiting 4 U in Barcelona. OK?


See U!

AFI said...

Hi Jorge, first of everything, thanks to come to Spain, I saw the interview, was not one of the best ones than they have done, but it is thanked for, that bring important people, I understand that outside thus, they could not either keep awake nothing of the series, begins this Saturday. The pain was the test of "Mariposa effect" , on the following day they returned it to realise with Miley Cyrus and left perfect, I do not know you would see if it.

That would have been fantastic that had left being your there. I have some theories exceeds that are Richard, who better than you to share them, I already guessed right with Miles.

A hug Duuude.

Anama said...

Yo vi "El hormiguero". Que pena que no saliera lo de Marron!!!!!

Lo hiciste muy bien Jorge!!!

Y muy buen español!!!!!

KambalaPowa said...

Jorge, gracias por venir a España!!

A los fans de Lost nos decepcionó la entrevista, pero tu estuviste muy grande (no lo digo por el tamaño xD)

Crack!!

NS said...

Madrid... Munich... Aren't you coming to Portugal also?! I'm make you the tour of your life!

Thank you

daroquio said...

Hey Jorge, I have to thank you for your stay in Spain. You were absolutely fantastic.

I am sorry because of the interview in 'El Hormiguero'. It was terrible (but don't worry, the program is always as bad as you see).

We hope you return one day and have a good interview in a program

Thank you one more time, Jorge

BerlyCrow said...

So what lottery numbers did you pick? Was it those creepy numbers You/Hurley have following him around in LOST? Just had to ask....LOL.

I don't speak Spanish, but I can get the gist of most of what's going on. Looks like a fun show!

Jules said...

Jorge, could you pick some lottery numbers just for me? I think you're like a rabbits foot... or a horseshoe... or something like that.

Jodie said...

Well, if it makes you feel any better my 13 year old likes you way better than she like Miley!

venus said...

I watched the interview cause I'm a big fan of Lost and "El hormiguero" too and I can't understand what was about the interview cause Pablo Motos is a funny host, I watched Hugh Jackman and Will Smith interviews and its were amazing and funny and they were very kind and interacted very much with the host so...I don't know what happenned but the interview was not funny at all. I think that the rest of the events here in Spain were better for you, tell Josh Holloway we are waiting for him :)

kyra said...

Lo mejor fue cuando salió el loco de Marlow, no sabiá si correr o que le tragase la tierra.

Gary said...

ei Jorge, I saw you in the program from my home in Spain, jaja, were very well, congratulations, I very much admire your role on the series of lost, and you as a person, I hope you go well

El Profesor said...

Jorge, vaya galáctico estás hecho. A mí también me decepcionó un poco el circo que te montaron, ya que a veces lo hacen mejor. Pero verte en una televisión española fue un inmenso placer, además nos has venido muy bien ya que está semana no hay capítulo. Agggggg que me vuelvo loco.

Bueno un abrazo, y por favor, besa en la boca a Lindelof y Cuse de mi parte.

Afs said...

You are the best man! I'm from spain and I see you on the "el hormiguero". I hope you come back to another shows on spain to let us see you again! Best Wishes!

redelf said...

Awww...that darn Miley. lol
that show looks nice and bizzaro...I think I would have freaked when the puppets showed up.

Galicia1 said...

We enjoyed your visit to El Hormiguero. Now, you know how crazy they are.

But i'm a little bit disagree with the channel, Cuatro, about the promos of Lost: they are spoilering so much!!!

Come back soon!!!
Saludos desde España

Jorge,

Just dropped in to apologize in the name of all spanish people for the dumbness of Pablo Motos. I hope you will enjoy the rest of your trip among us. When getting tapas, ask for: jamón ibérico, tortilla de patata, fritura andaluza, croquetas!

As for beer: dont u ever drink cruzcampo, aguila amstel. Instead try: mahou, super bock (portuguese but some bars have it).

HAVE FUN!

Series de Bolsillo said...

Hi Jorge...

I feel sorry for you... I can't believe they made you go through that lame and sucking show (El hormiguero) Hehe... I'm from Puerto Rico, but I'm living right now in Madrid. I'm a huge Lost fan, so I watched El hormiguero that night just for you.. but believe me there were times when I was really thinking throwing myself out the window ;) What a lame program, it looks like they did the pre production for the interview 15 minutes before it began.. I hope the event in the movie theater was ok.

Love your spanish, it sound a little bit like J-Lo (No offense) Jorge from the block?? ;)

Un abrazo, y mucho éxito (I'mean more)

Laura

PS. Looking forward for the end of Season 6.. Or I'll never gonna finish my Thesis... I need to go back to the Caribbean... miss the beaches so much!!!

AMENMom said...

Boy, it seems like everyone who watches that show HATES it, but they keep watching, don't they? Kudos for beating out Will and Hugh. Miley's just a train that can't be stopped.

patricia said...

Oh Griffey and Charlie!!! Thanks for posting the link. I don't speak spanish but does it seem like the host is speaking insanely fast? I can almost pick out some of what Jorge is saying from my knowledge of french but the host must be on speed or something.

Anonymous said...

Jorgeeeeeee, qué maravilloso verte por España de verdaddddd, qué pena me dió no poder verte!!!
Respecto al hormiguero, espero que no sea la idea que te llevas de nuestro país, porque en mi opinión, esa entrevista y muchas otras que hacen son lo peor... La gente está indignada de que asocies eso con España porque realmente TE ADORAMOS!!! Y VIVA LOST!!! La mejor serie de la historia!!!!

almu said...

Thanks for coming to Spain!!!

I loved the show!!!

Campanilla said...

Jorge!!!! As you speak spanish I'm going to tell you that ERES EL MEJOR!!!!!!! :)

I didn't like the interview but you were just great!!! Seriously!!!

Despite of Pablo Motos, I have to say that El Hormiguero brought us the oportunity to know you a little better and, do you know what??? I liked what I saw!! Seriously, you're great.

By the way, I have read you on your blog for a long long time!!!! And I have posted you some comments by the name of Mara. My profile of that count guides you to my personal blog but I participate in another one. Its name is Perdidos Online (perdidosonline.blogspot.com) and I and my blogmates would be really happy if one day you decide to come and say hello!!!

A lot of kisses from Spain!!

Las lagrimas de la princesa cayeron sobre la sangre del dragon y salieron rosas.El caballero Jordi cogio una rosa y se la regalo a la princesa.
Hoy se regalan rosas y libros a la gente que quieres.

Haha, you looked thrilled to be talking to those ants. :) Yeah, if Miley Cyrus goes on, you're gonna lose that title, sorry Jorge :)

Kaaru said...

Hello Jorge,

Te escribo en Español. Sentí vergüenza por como te trataron en el hormiguero. Normalmente Pablo hace eso... le gusta ser el centro de atención aunque tenga al lado a cualquier invitado con renombre.La entrevista que te hizo se limitó a hablar de caramelos de menta por un beso, a papel del wc... creo que podría haber ido por otro lado... en fin, espero que hayas disfrutado de España y que vuelvas pronto. Me encanta tu personaje en LOST eres grande en todos los sentidos!! Un abrazo

AN said...

Hey Jorge! Great post! I´m a man from Spain. I think you got a lot of riot in three days (too many events) but was fantastic to see you in Madrid. "El Horgmiguero" it´s a funny show but it think the most interesting questions appear in other interviews (I love yout taste about Guernica, for example). Thanks for come here, an ask Naveed why didn´t come with you!

P. S. Don´t give up with the spanish language, you speak it perfectly!

¡Abrazos amigo!

You know, I thought Don Fransisco was a wacky guy, I had no idea that the zany Spanish variety show was a whole genre.

merylspider said...

Hey, You were amazing at the show. Didnt know you talk so good spanish, "El hormiguero" is pretty crazy always and I always wonder what foreign people think when they came. Glad your experience was nice. Hope you liked madrid and spain as well. Greeting from Spain

Ya me gustabas y me parecías genial y super simpático en la serie, pero después de verte en el hormiguero, nos pareces mucho mejor a mi novio y a mí. Nos reimos un montón contigo, eres genial!

At least you say you had a nice time... but Pablo Motos did an awful job with you. You deserve so much more!!!

Fenris said...

Ei Mr.García! I liked to ear you speaking Español :) although fans of lost waited for a more professional interview by the part of Pablo Motos.

Thank you very much and say to Josh and Terry that they must to come soon :)

adRift said...

hey!I saw you on spanish tv! it's a humor tv program so... I think is normal the way that the interview was! I hope you really enjoy it and have a good time in Spain! Flipi (the mad scientist) is awesome!! he's a very mad man LOL and it's true that he been wearing a dharma logo for a few years! haha
Hope to see you again! thanks Jorge!! ;)

[*Sanwaxa*] said...

Hi!

I waited for your program but just when it came I had to study hardly T_T (Thank Internet... xD)

I've been watching Lost since it started (well, I haven't seen 5th season yet, give me time)and I have two conclusions: screenwriters are genious and original version is much better than spanish.

I know Lost thank TVE (Spanish TV), but it was a sh** because they treated it very bad. I hope Cuatro treat it better.

By the way! You're not going to answer but... Why do you have a spanish name and surname? Well, I can try to answer it on Wikipedia... xD

Hugs!

YOU WERE ON A SHOW WITH PUPPETS! Damn, if I had some kind of budget I'd demand you be on mine!!

Hola!

Otro fan español que vió la entrevista y no le gustó. Pero no por tu culpa ;)

Un abrazo y sigue así.

PD: unos posts más arriba leí que un español te llamaba crack.

En España ser un crack en algo es ser el mejor (los diferentes slangs de los distintos países son una cosa curiosa).

Carlos said...

Hahaha, it was weird, yes, I was freaking out while watching "El Hormiguero". I laughed the most was when you had to say if the photo was an ass or an elbow... that was hilarious! Well, I'm glad you had a good time over here, I hope the next time you come maybe the person who interviews you doesn't ask to you things about your "personal care", hahahahaha.

Hugs, and take care, man!

Ana Caamaño Manjón said...

Hi Jorge!
I have a similar opinion as all the spanish people here about El Hormiguero and Pablo Motos. The show very often just sucks, and Pablo wants to be the star, he's not good at all on interviews, and the whole thing is chaotic and crazy, but not funny-crazy, just crazy. I only get some laughs with the antz, but the jokes are not very understanding for foreign people. But...you did it well Jorge! Thanks for coming!!!

tuseeketh said...

Jorge,

I'm spanish and I need to tell you this: El Hormiguero sucks, and Pablo Motos sucks more. The interview was shamefaced. I'm sorry you had to go through this.

I hope you decide to come to Barcelona some time!

Saludos.

sevilla said...

El Hormiguero is a very very very very big shit my friend.

Suketa said...

I think that the interview was not the best one in "El Hormiguero" but I enjoyed it so much. There is too much people who likes this show: it's funny, different...
I hope you enjoyed your visit!

As other people tell, Pablo wants to be the star in his show. (He invites a tennis player and he wants win...).

So amazing! What a laught!
Have great!!

Christina Bauer said...

A show with ant puppets? Weird! Glad you had fun, and of course you are so popular! We all love you, Jorge!

SERGI said...

Jorge. I'm embarrassed about the intervew that you had to endure in EL Hormiguero. I never watch this pathetic show, just when they invite a very interesting people like you. But, as ussually, they bring us a pathethic intervew whith a very lower level than the guest.
I wish somebothy makes you a better intervew to know you better and I hope that you don't think that all spanish people are like Pablo Motos. Thank you to endure that moments and congratulatoins for your job.

Unknown said...

Hola!!
Muchas gracias por asistir al programa!! ya teniamos ganas los fans españoles de ver a alguien de la serie más de cerca!!! estuvo genial!! y eres encantador. Espero que lo pasaras bien porque (yo por lo menos) me lo paso genial contigo.

Pili Ramone said...

Hi Jorge!
Sorry for the interview in "el Hormiguero"... sorry, sorry, and sorry... we apologize.

Well, I hope you'll come again to Spain, big hughs!

Cassandra said...

I watched the entire "El Hormiguero" interview online, and even though all the Spaniards seem to be embarrassed about it, there's something refreshing there! American TV in general and talk shows in particular are so totally slick and scripted. My Spanish is terrible, but I could sort of follow what was going on. And I liked the spontaneity--for example, the way the host guy had a hard time getting the "pompa" to work on the bowl with the dry ice. If you look at clips of the old Johnny Carson shows, you see that Johnny Carson was not afraid to do stupid things or do things where he had no idea how it would work out. And occasionally he seems unprepared for the guest. So yes, the host didn't take full advantage of Jorge as a guest, especially given that Jorge speaks Spanish! And the whole set with the dinosaur was really weird, because here they'd gone to al this trouble, apparently, to create this set, and then they didn't do anything with it!.
But the show had a refreshing spontaneity to it. So the people of Spain should not be embarrassed.

Pequeña Snorkel said...

Sometimes the show is interesting and in this occasion you were deserving a better interview, go you ask ...., cyrus! They were like heavy cockatooes. It of the lottery it was not bad, I believe that it has not touched, to part up to in the web of the mystery of bets the news goes out:http: // www.loteriasyapuestas.es/index.php/mod.noticias/mem.detalle/id.1781/relcategoria.302/?

You are very nice, thank you

Enhorabuena por tu blog. Tu visita a "El hormiguero" fue de locura, de verdad, pero muy divertida.

Hi Jorge

WE hope you enjoyed your stay in Spain. We saw you on El Hormiguero (I show we never normally watch cos it's just too daft) and you were cool.

Next time you're in Spain, please call into the Canary Islands where you have loads of fans and will receive a warm welcome

Best wishes

Hola Jorge,ante todo perdon por escribir en español pero mi ingles no es muy bueno.... Creo que estas siendo demasiado amable con lo que dices sobre el hormiguero,(o lo poco que entendi),personalmente no soy fan del programa,vamos que no lo soporto!!!,pero como venias tu merecia la pena,y la verdad es que me dio mucha verguenza ver la entrevista tan patetica que te hicieron,los fans de la serie estabamos esperando con impaciencia que hablaras de ella y apenas te hicieron preguntas sobre ella y se dedicaron a preguntarte tonterias.Enfin que deberian de pedirte perdon!.Espero que te gustase mucho Madrid y que algun dia vuelvas,(si puede ser con Jeremy Davies,Faraday me encanta!!!).Bueno,a pesar de la patetica entrevista conoci este blog y prometo aprender ingles para entender mejor y algun dia comentar algo...en ingles of course!!!

zirta said...

hola!
no sigo perdidos, si el hormiguero. la entrevista es mala. pero dejar de lamer el culo, no solo es culpable motos

Lolapower said...

Hola Jorge, como mi inglés es pésimo y sé que el español más o menos lo entiendes, prefiero escribirte de esta forma. Primero decirte que me encanta Perdidos, que soy fan desde hace sólo 5 meses, nos recomendaron unos amigos fanáticos que la viéramos pero no teníamos tiempo, pero mi marido tuvo un problema de salud y con la recuperación y el tiempo de descanso aprovechamos para engancharnos. De principio a fin, estamos enganchados, y aún no hemos visto la 5ª temporada... Tu papel en particular siempre me ha gustado mucho... Hurley es la típica persona de buen corazón que se gana a cualquiera... y tú nos has ganado. Decirte que tu paso por el HORMIGUERO a nosotros nos encantó... es un programa con un humor especial, y el que no lo entiende es que no tiene humor ninguno... vimos que disfrutaste, a pesar de no poder seguir los chistes de la misma manera, por no traducirse al momento... pero sinceramente, nos gusto mucho!! y estamos encantados de que hayas visitado España! Y gracias por tu buen humor! Te hemos conocido un poco mejor!!

¡¡ Hello Jorge ¡¡ I write from Madrid. Sorry if my english is not good.I saw "El Hormiguero" and I am totally agree with the rest. The interviu was very very bad, but good, at least that we follow “Lost” from the beginning we could see you in satisfied Madrid and we are happy about this, we admire you before and we'll continue doing it, I hope that you liked my city, assure you that there are many marvellous things, if at some time you need a guide to go to the most lovely places, say it to me, jajajaja.

Regards and congratulations for this wonderful movie and for your marvellous work.

Certainly every week I play to the lottery with the numbers of lost, but even I have not gained(earned) anything, jajaja

Regards from Madrid. MARISA

Que pesado todo el mundo quejándose de las entrevistas, yo creo que el programa es divertido y las entrevistas van en consecuencia, para cosas serias ya tenemos el día a día, no?
A mi me encantó, es uno de los mejores programas de EL Hormiguero que he visto, gracias por ir!!!

el hormiguero es una mierda , mola mucho mas el intermedio, el hormiguero deja al humor español en evidencia delante de tantos famosos

Hey Dude, I just wanted to say that not every people in spain is so stupid like Pablo Motos and our kind of humour is not at all so crappy and lack of fun. I am one of your biggest fans, man, thank you for being like you are.

Alpa Chino España.

I'm Spanish and I saw the Show.
You were great and funny.
For me the best moment was with the interpreter.

I think that you are one of the best famous that have appeared in this show. It was cool.

This show looks completely and utterly INSANE.

Hi Jorge. You are very polite with your comments about the 'interview' they made to you.

You are an international celebrity, and a kind person too. You deserver smarter questions!.

They dind't know how to handle your visit, and they made a disorganized program, empty of interesting questions for you and full of madness and spoilers about Lost.

Thank you very much for coming to Spain!. I hope you had a great time despite these inconvenients.

See you in the island!

Kind regards from Spain :)

Greetings from Spain! :)

Hey, I have just re-watched your interview at el hormiguero. HOnestly, You did fab! I think it is nothing so stupid to interview artists in a disconderting way the way Pablo Motos does. It helps bringing out the best of each artist, it's a way of seeing a bit of your real you. Some people interviewd by him just could not cope, they were pretending most of the time, like wearing a mask or something, you were just enchanting and authentic and I am glad. I am looking forward to the sixth season now, I can't wait...
