Tuesday (Big Lebowski-inspired figure skating routine) edition: Wha' Happened?

Good times

February 4, 2014 at 2:53PM

We think about "The Big Lebowski" quite often as it is because it is one of the funniest and most memorable movies of all-time. The thinking was heightened, sadly, when Philip Seymour Hoffman -- who portrayed Brandt, one of the best characters in a movie full of them -- died at age 46.

Happily, we have the occasion to bring the movie to your attention in a different way this morning because figure skater Tara Lipinski performed a routine for Jimmy Fallon that was inspired by The Dude. No, we're not making that up. Please do watch (you don't even have to pay $100).
