Jeremy Piven is a longtime Cubs fan so he was asked to sing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” before Sunday’s game against the Tigers. Before he did so, he yelled out “Hey Cubs fans, let’s hug it out, you little bitches!” The Cubs were not pleased. Well, they actually were pleased but they had to pretend they weren’t and issue an apology for the profanity during the 7th inning stretch.
Either Jeremy Piven has got a little bit of Ari Gold in him or he’s a great comic actor. Ari has got to be the best character on TV right now. In honor of this…um… momentous occasion, here is the best of Ari Gold.
– Is that the way they drive in Tiananmen Square, bitch?-Just so you know, your girlfriend, when she was in the mailroom, offered to blow me. True story.
-You know what they feed people on an indie set, Vinnie? Nothing! They don’t give you a trailer. They tell you to go sit on an apple box. Ever try to bang an extra on an apple box?
-I’m ready to go here, all right? It’s like R. Kelly at recess.
-Got Milf?
-All right, when you talk to Dana, tell her I’m going to take the pictures from Cancun, and start a website called imahollywoodexecutivewhore.com and there will be no password or fee required, and I will take out a full page ad in the LA Times promoting it. Give me a fucking call back.
– Listen, Lloyd, I want you to put all my files, folders, binders, *everything* into a box! If you find a used condom, an executioner’s mask, and a fucking spike paddle, don’t think, just pack that bitch! Chop suey!
– I drove to work in an $80,000 Mercedes, and Im going home in a prop car from the fast and the furious, I just dont see it Lloyd.
-That was a good speech, Lloyd. If I was 25 and liked cock, we could be something.

Hey… — gotta stay in character, right?
What, they can’t say “bitches” and the announcers can’t criticize the team but they would just as soon sponsor “Cub Fan, Bud Man Day” where everyone gets to throw beer on Steve Bartman?
Losers. Bring in the goats and burn the place down.
I will start watching that show right now.
Best Character on Television — Jeremy Piven should win an Emmy every year this show is on the air for Best Supporting Actor. He is absolutely hysterical as Ari Gold.
Also…. — I also like:
“I’d say hug it out, but I don’t want you drawing wood.”
“Playboy mansion, strip clubs, whorehouses… I go where the meetings are, honey.”
