Almost Made It


Damn. This cup survived the trip from New York to San Francisco to Honolulu. And then as I'm looking for something in my suitcase I set a bag down too hard and I heard the ominous "clink."

  1. That's the way it works, though. Murphy's Law.

  2. Be sure to leave it broken for the time being and fix it in LA. That way it doesn't have to be double glued.

  3. Don't despair! Superglue is your friend!

  4. superglue....it works well on mug handles :)

  5. Ouch!! You could always use super glue, but that is probably not the same, huh?

    Selfishly, hope Elmer makes it. See? How totally selfish is that?! lol

    Besos, you guys.

  6. Gorilla Glue *might* put it back together.

  7. nothing a little duct tape won't fix. ;)

    but really, I'd go with super-glue!

  8. That's like when my husband broke my sunglasses on the first full day of our honeymoon.. even though they'd been living in my purse for over a year before, getting tossed all around and jostled amongst all the junk I keep in there.. he just barely touched them with his foot before he realized they were there, but the arm was snapped right off..

  9. Super Glue (aka Crazy Glue) should fix it right up.

    BTW, thanks so much for your work on Lost... Hurley was always my fave character (being a big guy myself).

  12. el propósito de la copa era servir para esos viajes. ya cumplió con su destino

  13. Jorge, you, of all people, should know the perils of setting a bag down too forcefully.

    "Dude, you got some cup on you."

    ReplyDelete
  14. Oooooh... that sucks, man. :-(
    Maybe you can get Jimmy to ship you a new one!

    ReplyDelete
  15. No worries, that's what SuperGlue is for.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Bummer! I seem to have that kind of luck. Don't toss it, just buy some Krazy Glue. Looks like a clean break so no one should notice. :)

    ReplyDelete
  17. Oh, bummer. But I'm pretty sure if you pulled some strings, (or spent $12.50 at the on-line gift shop) you could get another. I suppose it won't be the same, will it?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Or you could use the cup as a pencil holder!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Awww, Crazy Glue will put it back together.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I'm sure "Miles" would recommend duct tape.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Jorge, I hope this means you'll keep blogging even though Lost is over? Thanks for the memories, man. You should make the cap'n cap and sweater look your thing, man.

    ReplyDelete
  22. That's a shame, but maybe Jimmy will see this post and send ya another.

    If not, there's always Super Glue (Gel)or Gorilla Glue.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Aw, man, that sucks.

    Have you seen Jimmy's LATE? It's a Lost parody. It's pretty brilliant.

    ReplyDelete
  24. From the immortal words of Bruce from Family guy...

    "OHHH NOOOOOOO!!!!"

  25. hey jorge,

  26. Well... at least it didn't set off dynamite from the black rock!

  27. I saw you on that show...I was flipping through the cable guide and saw your name so I turned it on, I didn't even know Fallon had a show. I turned the channel until Trump was gone...yuck...but it was quite entertaining with the nautical thing going on. I loved it when you walked out with the sweater and cap...yellow is your color :) maybe he'll send you another cup.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I bet, if you asked pretty please, Jimmy would spot you another.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Something tells me Jimmy Fallon will give you as many of those as you want. Hey, by the way, loved the skit you did with Matthew Fox and Emilie de Ravin on Jimmy Kimmel. I also loved the Survivor and Bob Newhart spoofs. Funny stuff. You should tell Damon and Carlton they should have a sitcom. They are so funny!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Now you know how Illan feels. :)

    ReplyDelete
  31. as Miles said, I don't believe in a lot of things.....but I believe in duct tape. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  32. You can get a new one from amazon for just $12: http://www.amazon.com/Late-Night-Jimmy-Fallon-Logo/dp/B0036F7YKK

    I had a little mishap too...this weekend while baking, managed to accidentially smash the oven door to smithereens : /

    ReplyDelete
  33. A valuable tip! Many say it is unlucky to leave something broken at home. I believe! It is best to throw away. A good weekend for you! Kiss :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. ]Jorge do not use something broken, bad luck.

    ReplyDelete
  35. jimmy would have given yo a boat load of those mugs for just a hint of what was going to happen on lost..now your scrwed..haha

    ReplyDelete
  36. At least it wasn't a Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien mug. That would be irreplaceable!

    (I know, you were on Late Night with Conan and not The Tonight Show, but you gotta stick with me here for the sake of the joke)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Perfect excuse to come back to NY :)

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hello, I love the show lost, your character was the one of the best. You brought most of the humor to the show. Well done. I do have a questions though, if you don't mind. In the finally, where was the plane that Kate, Sawyer, Miles, Lepidus and Richard going?
    It was great watching the show, thank you,

  40. Try super glue!!! X:-/ or keep it as a desk pencil holder X;-)

    (Ps) i seem to be breaking off all our household glasses lately... i wonder if there is a message in that somewhere! (Lol! The WINE glasses that is!)

    ReplyDelete
  41. Oh and by-the-way Jorge...
    Just in case i don't get the chance again...
    It was an Honor Dude...
    and don't Forget i'll be see-ing you in Another Life Brother X:-)

    ReplyDelete
  42. i'm sure jimmy would be willing to send you a new one.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Superglue will work, but washing will weaken the bond. Instead, go with epoxy marked for use with ceramics!

    Mix the epoxy together and apply a very thin layer, press together and wipe off excess. Let dry 24 hours.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I'm guessing you'll end up receiving at least 20 of the mugs in the mail in a matter of weeks. That's how much your fans love you. :o)

    ReplyDelete
  45. Gee, things like that happen in your life too? Amazing.

    And congratulations on wrapping up one of TV's proudest moments. LOST was magnificent.

    ReplyDelete
  46. At the very least, I hope it still holds beverages. In that case, there's nothing a little crazy glue (or gorilla glue) can't solve.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Put it up for auction! I'll buy it!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Pretty sure they would send you another if you asked? You think?

    I know. That's not the point.

    ReplyDelete
  49. *tear*
    Try some Crazy Glue or duct tape.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Don't you just hate when that happens? It seems you'll just have to go back for another appearance on Jimmy Fallon.

    I have enjoyed your blog and your performances on Lost. I can't wait to see what's next for you. Break a leg.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Haha to JustDevin... "Dude, you got some cup on you."

    Guess this mug will now be a pencil holder... or some knick-knack, and not fer drinkin' coffee.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Hey man, you are the best! Thanks for this 6 years!! I hope you continue acting in other shows, you're cool man.
    Greetings from Agentina!

  54. Jorge,

    The only gave you a coffee mug, and one that breaks to boot, for your appearance? Send them the bill for the airline.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I hope you don't believe in duct tapes, no dude! the mug would look even worse!
    BTW, you, the cast snd crew, everybody even the hatch computer were awesome. I love u for tsking us on such a great and unforgettable journey. I don't give strangers a hug but I O U a way big Hurley hug!I hope my husband won't mind it ;-)

  56. Super Glue can be your best friend at times like there.

  57. Jimmy seems like a really good guy. I bet he would send you a new one. I bet he would send you two so Beth could have one.

    Moving always makes me so nervous. I hold my breath when I unpack anything fragile. One mug for a trip that far doesn't seem like such a bad loss in the grand scheme of things.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Sad but maybe it's time for a change? lol

    ReplyDelete
  59. Heh...sorry about the mug!

    Mostly, just wanted to say that I'm glad you're still blogging and this wasn't just a promotional thing for Lost. I've grown quite fond of reading your updates! :)

  60. Hola Jorge!!! Soy una grandísima admiradora de LOST. Canaria, y tinerfeña, igual que Richard Alpert, jeje. Muchísimas gracias por haber construído entre todos este mundo tan maravilloso que tanto nos ha ilusionado durante todos estos años!! Sois los mejores!!
    Me encantaría, por cierto, que mandaras de mi parte un saludo muy afectuoso a Michael Emerson, porque le tengo un cariño muy muy especial... y me ha encantado el final que ha habido para los dos.
    Un beso muy muy fuerte y... GRACIAS POR TODO!

  61. At least the bag didn't blow up like Ilana's did. Haha
