Hugh Jackman’s Zip Line Snafu On “Oprah”

Yesterday, Oprah did an ode to Australia, filming live from the Sydney Opera House. Hugh Jackman was one of the episode’s guest stars and he had a high adrenaline entrance—zip lining from the top of the Opera House down to Oprah’s stage.

Jon Stewart Reveals His Inner Jew Fro
