I am not sure if you are still updating, but over the past week or so (I heard it on a H100 Newsbreak last Friday or Saturday) Eric has been badgering the news department to get them to report (again) that he is dumping Johnny Fratto as his manager. He also strongly hinted to the news team that Howard himself would be a perfect new agent for him. Eric said that, in return, he could prove to all those fans who incorrectly call him ungrateful that he is actually grateful to Howard. …And, yes, the news report was just as incoherent. Apparently, Eric thinks that Howard will give up all the free time he spent the last 40 years of his life working like a dog to earn just so that Eric can have the chance to prove to Howard’s fans that he (Eric that is) is not an ungrateful little prick.

Typically, Johnny Fratto is behind these inane pronouncements by Eric, and, presumably, he is behind this one, too. I just have to think that, when Johnny explained it to Eric, he missed some key point because he really didn’t make even a little bit of sense and there is nothing funny about it. It is just stupid.

Eric’s Fringe debut can be seen here: http://www.fox.com/fringe/full-episodes/621893357001/the-box. It’s pretty good, although it seems like they cut a few of his lines based on the behind the scenes video. In the behind the scenes, Eric has some poorly delivered line about wanting more money to watch the box. I guess he’s not that great of an Ack Acktor.
