Jamie and The (Booty) Hunter
Last night at the Robin Hood Foundation’s annual gala, Jimmy Fallon appeared on stage wearing a cowboy hat, and in a Southern accent, sang an original song entitled “Cougar Huntin’.” Apparently it was funny and references to the group of 40+ year old women who seek out younger men to use as their sex toys then became the go-to joke for the rest of the night.
Even JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon, the gala’s co-chair, went with the flow before speaking to the audience about the need to support Robin Hood. “Jimmy Fallon, I know you’re hunting for a cougar, but I’m going home with one tonight — my wife who’s out there somewhere. So good luck in your hunting,” Dimon said.
I don’t think I have to tell you that 9 times out of 10 we wouldn’t even dream of questioning Jamie Dimon’s expertise on anything. But in this one instance, we must ask– when JD called his wife Judy a cougar, did he do so:
a) knowing exactly what a cougar is, i.e. making a “joke” that his leading lady hunts bars looking for younger dudes to bang
b) thinking it just means a 40+ year old hot woman (which you can see, Judy Dimon certainly is), the age of her conquest being irrelevant (J and J met at Harvard Business School and are presumably around-ish the same age)
c) implying that he’s much younger than his wife (I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought to myself, in all seriousness, “James Dimon doesn’t look a day over 30″)
d) you tell us
I’m going with “A”!
— The Cukold
Not bad for a CEO; I’m sure that comment cost him some $$$
d
all of the above
lloyd must be jealous.
@5 – jealous of the luscious head of hair on JD or his wife?
he could be married to an actual mountain cat
d. Needs to go down to The Shore more often.
@7 I dig you.
@5 of the fact that JD can make a joke like this (could clown face the president, and so on and so forth) and not get shit for it?
Hes the king of cool this cat. wife is smokin hot as well, some people have it all.
Blankfein couldnt hold this guys umbrella
b – Their audience had a collective “I don’t think that word means what you think it means” moment.
He’s married to a Liz Lemon look-alike?
“Def A”
- Dimon’s pool boy
He ought to see what I bring home at night
- Stevie the C. (meow)
@13 – You were speaking to Uma last night?
Kimball(er) pulls in so many chicks he calls his home the Slaughterhouse
def B.
he didnt have time to go to urban dictionary
Its “d”.
The obvious explanation is that JD’s competitor, LB, would not be able to make the same comment/joke without the audience rolling their eyes in disbelief. He was tweaking LB.
@14 I appreciate you.
Bess, how much would a night alone with JD be worth to you?
-Robert Redford
Jamie, keep your hands where we can see them.
d) He mistook “cougar” as referring to any aggressive pussy. [Whip crack] Meredith Whitney announces she is long JPM.
Bess@9: Because JD’s got a cougar in the bedroom at home and LB, golden scrot and all, has got a manatee?
i bet she has nice feet
b.
Is Lloyd married to a panther?
D. Mrs. Dimon went to the University of Houston.
@19 And I like when you rub my butt (purr).
Was he stoned? Either it was a bad joke or he had no idea what he was saying
Do not confuse “cougar” with “puma”! http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/03/18/entertainment/main6311728.shtml
Jaime – now seeing your babe I suggest dyeing the gray, make Grecian your friend.
d) the mic cut out on him mid-sentence
” … I’m going home with one tonight [but don't tell] my wife, who’s out there somewhere.”
-fify
Will this be on the Series 7?
@24 – totally.
She sat down next to me at T-Bar and asked me if I ever saw the movie The Graduate?
Lucky for her I had…
@24 and @33 – that is so weird. What does that even mean? Who says that?
yes, yes
My wife is really hot but I admit to be curious about seeing Lloyd naked. Is it wrong?
Jamie, I’ve had your wife, she’s not so hot. Bess is much hotter. By the way, anytime you really want to see me just call Lucas
Bess, I am so jealous…
-The Gerbil, Chicago
@24 nice feet? pls explain
@24 nice feet? pls explain
Oops…forgot to say great post! Looking forward to your next one.
maybe he mistook “cougar” for “tigress”… I do it all the time
Would destroy Judy
@36 I smiled.
