DSB Exclusive - Who Do You Think You Are?
If you've watched any NBC shows recently, you'd have to be blind if you missed the commercials for their upcoming reality show Who Do You Think You Are? Well if you've been holding your breath waiting, you can start to exhale as tomorrow night at 8pm the show has its series premiere. Here is the description from NBC:
I have been giddy with anticipation over watching this show. Don't get me wrong, I could care less that Spike Lee has a white cousin (burn!!) or that Matthew Broderick had family that lost their life on D-Day (so did a lot of other people, asshat). But the celebrity's ancestral story I am most looking forward to is featured on the premiere episode when we get to see Sarah Jessica Parker investigating her family's history. The crack research staff of chain-smoking capuchin monkeys at DSB have obtained the WORLD EXCLUSIVE on the first set of photos from Parker’s "big reveal" and we are proud to share them here with our loyal readers.
*********************************
Parker's American roots can be traced back to her great-grandfather, Duke, who immigrated to this country when he was a young stud. Here we see Duke standing next to other immigrants by the boat's rail at Ellis Island in 1907.
*********************************
Parker's relatives worked the land during the Great Depression and they only survived the bleak economic times because her great-uncle Rusty literally pulled the family through the fields behind him. Here is a family portrait of them around this time in 1929 (Rusty is the one in the center).
*********************************
Through research, Parker discovered a long history of distinguished miltary service by her family. Here is a photo of Trigger, her aptly named distant cousin, right before the Battle of Khe Sanh during the Vietnam War
*********************************
It also turns out that Parker has had relatives at most of the cultural touchstones of the 20th century. Here's her Uncle Red kicking out the stable doors with rock and roll during Woodstock's 3 Days of Peace and Music.
Thanks for coming and suckling Daddy's Sugar Ball...
