Apparently having the highest rated cable show in the history of cable television is not enough to keep you from getting kicked out of your own hotel. Jace Robertson was staying at a hotel in NYC with his family. They were all doing press for the upcoming season of the show. Jace was in the lobby when he asked where the restroom was. Instead of showing him where the restroom was, he was escorted out of the hotel and told not to come back and good luck. Yes, they thought he was homeless. Jace said it was facial profiling. Does the bear really make him look homeless? Are we that anti-beard now? Everyone who has a shaggy bard must be homeless? The hotel apologized and so far, Jace has not spilled the beans about which hotel it was so it must have been a very good apology.
Yep, someone got comped their rooms. That hotel knows they can't risk the bad press.
ReplyDeleteDon't know who Jace Robertson is but I, for one, like a shaggy bard.
ReplyDeleteSeven of: show me a clean shaven bard!
Delete@Rach, he looks better shaggy.
DeleteSeven ; beard or no, he looks better in anything pre-1999. The ugly gene his brother displays lay dormant until that time.
DeleteDoes the bear really make him look homeless?
ReplyDeleteIs "bear" new slang?
That's so funny. I can only imagine what was going through his mind. The way he delivers a line is hysterical. This will, not mentioning the hotel, be a good story for the show as has faces the camera.
ReplyDeleteIt's so annoying when people judge me based on my bear! Free bears!
ReplyDeleteOne thing I learned waiting tables in Austin was treat everyone with the same kindness and respect. You never know what grungy looking person is the millionaire that's gonna give you $100 tip on a $15 check.
ReplyDeleteOr, in this case, the millionaire with the top rated reality show on cable whose bad press you don't want.
Make up your mind, Enties. Is it a bear, beard or bard?
ReplyDeleteAnd it's Jase, not Jace.
ReplyDeleteDuck dynasty
ReplyDeleteAnd holy shit - Facial profiling. lulz!!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, that's really all.
Bear Beard Bard
I'm sitting here choking on my tea from laughing at your comments... Bear-Beard-Bard
ReplyDeleteWhen "Jase" finally got back to his room, his wife asked him where he'd been, he told her "he'd been kicked out of the hotel" I can just imagine the look on her face !! I hope they got it on film. Only this can happen to Jase.. LOLOL
maybe it was looks + smell that did it.
ReplyDeleteIf he had been African-American, this would have become a huge public scandal, Ã la Oprah and her $40,000 purse.
ReplyDeleteOne time I was staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Downtown Philly. Friday night my buddy and I get back to the hotel after hitting some bars and the door is locked. Someone comes to it, asks our room # and hits the button to unlock the door. Saturday night, same scenario, but the dude is asking to see the key card for the room and still gives us hassle afterwards, but eventually opens the door. I wanted to pummel the runt.
ReplyDeleteInstead, I sent a 5-6 paragraph complaint to Holiday Inn. The Saturday night hassle, the fact that they stuck us in a non smoking room when the reservation clearly stated smoking (this was back when they offered smoking), etc. They sent me a $50gift certificate for that hotel, which I put in an envelope and sent back to them, along with a note that if they offered a free weekend I wouldn't stay at their hotel. Now when I party in Philly I stay at the Sheraton Society Hill. They have friendly staff and nice rooms, although the valet parking is a lil pricey when you consider tips every in and out.
Fuck you Holiday Inn Express Philly. Fuck you where you breathe.

ReplyDeleteHere's Jase telling what happened. LOL
I can only imagine what happens when ZZ Top is staying there.
ReplyDeleteHomeless bears and shaggy bards WTF!
ReplyDeleteAs a New Yorker I can't tell you how obonixious and snooty door men are.
ReplyDeleteThis is almost as good as the lead singer from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers trying to go back to their hotel and got body slammed by the Rolling Stones security as they were coming out. Which he had just performed with.
I have a bear. Fozzie bear to be exact and I sleep with it every night.
ReplyDelete@skimpy - Waka Waka Waka!
Deletei've only heard of this show in the tabs. i've no concept of what a duck dynasty is. i really need to watch more tv.
ReplyDelete+1, I've never seen this person in my life.
Delete+1, I've never seen this person in my life.
Delete@Nutty_Flavor: your comment speaks volumes that I'm sure mean nothing to you, but gives insight into your thoughts of certain people.
ReplyDeletePookie - don't do it! There are some things you just don't want to know!!
ReplyDeleteI do have my own bear too. He's not gay, but he's big and hairy and sexy and grrrrrrrs! True story: partying with crew and members of band in VERY posh exclusive hotel. Fucking messy! Seriously, we were showing these American party animals how we do it here. Few lines on the toilets (younger, wilder days) and shots, back to this hotel. Decided to trapse downstairs at 5 am. For a smoke. Got lost. Couldn't find the room. Banging on doors. Calling out. Smeared mascara, torn hose, leopard print dress, by the time I went up & down elevator a few times I forgot the floor. Went to reception and these two Sloan ranger snobs wouldn't let me know the room number. I told them "Mr Bla Bla" had the room, that he was with *insert famous band name* party. She called the room, no answer. I'd left my mobile in the room. Slept in entrance on couch looking like a glorious mess (it was a bit Pretty Woman really) til the band and crew surfaced around 10am.
ReplyDeletePookie - Do yourself a favor and check the show out. It is the anti-Kardashians... a whole family of quirky, naturally funny people who work in the family business making duck calls, decoys and so on. Loving, supportive family. I love this show to bits! I can't even consider it a guilty pleasure because I don't the least bit guilty about watching it!
ReplyDelete"facial profiling"
ReplyDeleteBwahahahahahaha!
I like the cut of his jib.
i can't believe i'm about to respond to the count, but your holiday inn express story really made me laugh.. i moved to philly in 99, and that year lived in dorms with 5 other girls.. there was one month when 3 of them (on separate occasions) called me in the middle of the night, drunk, and laughing, FROM you guessed it, the holiday inn express.. each called while the random they went there with was in the bathroom.. perhaps you were one of them..
ReplyDeletealso, i usually pay for my dad to stay at that sheraton when he comes to town, but clearly i need to rethink that :)
hee! i've got @__-__=__ whispering in one ear, and @Joanna whispering in the other. ;) #whattodowhattodo
ReplyDeletethx guys!
The facial profiling line is hysterical!
ReplyDeleteHe sounds awesome. Now this is a case of blatant discrimination and not perceived. I heard this was at the Trump Hotel.
ReplyDeleteIf it were really a good hotel they would've know who he was. He and his family should have fun staying for free in whatever 2nd tier chain didn't recognize him.
ReplyDelete"Bear" is some slang for gay people.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Nutty. Had he been not a cracker, the hotel would be fucked (if not burnt to ashes by animal/people), but he is and the hotel just has to make a half ass apology.
I love Duck Dynasty. At least they came by their money and show honestly, instead of being peed on in a sex tape.
ReplyDeleteWatch it for Jase, Phil and Si. Willie can get full of himself sometimes, but he can still be funny and self-deprecating, unless these Real Housewife and Teen Mom twits.
To be objective, he does look homeless, and the homeless can do quite a number on a restroom, believe me, ive seen and smelled it! Wash clothes and hang them up, dry with handdryer, sponge baths - oh, its a scene!!
ReplyDeleteok i gotta give this duck dynasty show a chance
ReplyDeletei only caught half an episode and didnt understand the big deal
The hotel was already paid for as they were doing media in NYC for Duck Dynasty. I'm sure it was a nice hotel. They were on Kelly and Michael.
ReplyDelete@pendeja: nah, didn't score that time.
ReplyDeleteVery cool thing about the Sheraton: if you are there for a romantic evening, they have good size flat screens w/ HDMI inputs. You can plug your laptop in and watch porn together, or plug in your video camera and watch your own action. My former lady was quite intrigued by watching herself operate some vibes. It is squatting over a mirror for the digital age.
Count: There you go getting my hopes up again....
Delete@lioness: what sextape involved pee? I do t know if I'm forgetting something or missed something.
ReplyDeleteNever did the golden shower. But I DID experience actual, real squirting the other night. Watery like pee, but clear and no smell. Never happened before. Did a ton of research and found out I'm in the lucky 3%.
ReplyDeleteThe facial profiling line made me lmao. The Robertsons don't stink, they bathe, unless it's hunting season, and then they stay in the woods.
ReplyDelete@Count probably stayed at Holiday Inn because ECW was intown and Kimona Wanaleia was on the show :)
ReplyDeleteKim Kartrashian, supposedly.
ReplyDeleteIt's all over the place. He was staying at the Trump Tower near Central Park. Jase has said no hard feeling and he hopes the person involved doesn't get into trouble.
ReplyDeleteTotal contrast to Oprah's bitching.
@Sandybrook: Nah, Only time I saw the old ECW was at the Babe Ruth Field in Trenton, for their fanfest. It was Sandman's second to last show before bolting to WCW. He didn't sign autographs w/ the other guys, he stayed outside the fence and hung out with the fans.
ReplyDeleteWhen Sandman pulled into the venue, all the fans were standing in the driveway, wait to enter the field. He was followed in by Trenton cops. (You gotta be a mess for Trenton cops to notice you.) He had 1/2 a six pack of Bud on his passenger seat and an open can in his hand.
When all the fans noticed him, we all popped. Hearing the noise, the cops hit the gas and took off :)
Big Dick Dudley was driving a faded paint late 80's Camaro. Bubba Ray Dudley, now TNA world champ, was driving a shit box Ford Tempo. Dude is like 6'3, 300lbs. It looked like they had to butter him up to get him behind the wheel.
My Philly trip that weekend was just a controlled binge. ECW guys used to stay at some dumpy hotel in North East Philly, which is kinda redundant since North East Philly is kinda dumpy and should be avoided, unless you wanna pick up junkie hookers. If that is the case, use craigslist, don't just pluck em off the street.
