On Friday night Emily, Tucker and I were treated to dinner by my uncle Glenn and my aunt Cherry. We decided to keep things local so we ate downstairs in our building at a fabulous restaurant called Bennett's. Half way through the meal as I was taking a bite of food Emily leans over and says, "Isn't that the guy who hosts 'The Soup'?" After finishing my bite of food I looked up and sure enough, being seated a few tables over was Joel McHale. For those of you who don't know, The Soup is a talk/comedy show on the E! network that makes fun of pop culture every week. Joel McHale was a '91 Mercer Island grad and was back in town eating dinner with his mom.
I knew this would be Tuck's big break to meet his first celebrity so on the way out as we passed by his table I stopped and said, "My son wanted has been waiting for us to leave so he could come by and tell you that his favorite show ever is 'The Soup'." Joel laughed and told us that Tucker was spoiled already. After chatting for a few minutes Emily asked if he wouldn't mind taking his picture with Tucker. The result was these two classic pictures you see below!
Thanks for your generosity Joel! Tucker is still bragging about his first encounter with a celebrity.

Wow! I thought your text messages were a joke. I can't believe you guys met him.
Amazing! Perhaps this event will show up on a future episode of Talk Soup! Tucker is going to be huge (as in famous, not fat). :)
Seriously...one of my favorite shows. Would have loved to meet him!
I am so jealous!! I saw this picture and gasped so loud that my husband, Todd, thought I was reading about something tragic...no, Todd...just looking at a picture of the luckiest baby in the world... :)
