Jim Carrey's Singing Shatters a Coffee Mug on 'Late Show' (Sort of) (VIDEO)
by Oliver Miller, posted Nov 19th 2010 3:25AM
On the new 'Late Show' (weeknights, 11:35PM ET on CBS), comedian Jim Carrey tried branching out into a vocal career, with mixed results. "I've been tryin' to learn how to sing!" he said. "'Cause it's a sensation!" Next, the comic launched into a rendition of the classic 80s song 'Take on Me.'
It has been shown that a trained human voice can break china or glass, but that wasn't what happened with Carrey. He took the direct approach -- just grabbing the mug and smashing it against Dave's desk. This occurred as Jim reached the song's crescendo, shrieking the words "I'll BE go-ooone/ In a day or two-ooooooooo!" A day or two? Will it take as long as that? Maybe he could leave now -- or at least, stop with the singing.

In living color was great loved that show. Homie the clown was my favorite. Fire marshal bill was pretty good too though.

That was fun, this is why Jim Carrey has star power. He takes chances, is enthusiastic and connects with the people. You can see he puts his heart into what he does, and he's a natural entertainer. Effortless. Brought back memories of the 80s, I enjoyed that!

Oliver, why do you write that his vocal stylings were "off-key", when clearly his pitch accuracy was adequate? Don't just write something if it isn't true.

Check out Jim Carey in the Clint Eastwood Movie the Dead Pool where he played a rock star. It was in his younger days. He is such a good actor and oh so funny. I loved him as the preacher on In Living Color.
