2020 Vision

A very belated Happy New Year to GB-land. And apologies for not posting until now. I hope there are still folks out there. I've decided not to put pressure on for post material. Let's just go with what we get! Jake Gyllenhaal has made some fun 2020 appearances - here's a sampling.

Jake was the special guest for a Rufus Wainwright concert at Lincoln Center. Here's their duet on "All I Have to Do Is Dream:"





No video of Jake's solo on the RW song Poses. But Jake did post some rehearsal footage on his Instagram.




Jake also went to the New York Philharmonic and posed with conductor Gustavo Dudamel:



Combining music and sports - Jake with Jimmy Iovine at the Lakers game on February 4:



You can see Jake at the end of this clip. And on the jumbotron:



Jared Leto posted a photo with Jake, Liam Hemsworth and a trainer at the gym in LA:


Right after this we played Twister.





I'm sure everyone has seen or at least heard about Jake's turn as Mr. Music in Jon Mulaney's Sack Lunch Bunch special (technically, a 2019 appearance). If you haven't, you're missing out!

Seth Meyers interviewed Mulaney and the Sack Lunch creative team. At about 54:41 in this clip, they talk about Jake as Mr. Music and about his SNL appearance.

I like this twitter description: "Jake Gyllenhaal in the new Mulaney Netflix special is like watching a serial killer who accidentally found themselves on Sesame Street."
