Entourage: Let's Blog It Out

The Joshie Awards celebrates excellence in "Entourage" performances.

They began after Season 3.5 when I got the idea to do it. The inaugural Joshie Awards, or Joshies, encompassed the first 3.5 seasons. Each year after that, they're based on that particular season.

The stems from the "Busey and the Beach" episode of Season 1. In this particular scene, Ari Gold shows up at a party in Malibu and completely undresses his former assistant turned agent Josh Weinstein. To add even more insult, Ari calls him "Joshie." And so a legend was born. It's truly golden television.

Relive the past Joshie Awards here.

The Big Knish is awarded at the end of each season to the character the most Best Printable Lines (BPLs). Here's the history so far:

Season 4: Ari Gold
Season 3.5: Drama, E
Season 3: Ari Gold, Turtle
Season 2: Johnny Drama
Season 1: Johnny Drama**

** Entourage the blog began midway through Season 2, but we went back and did the research from Season 1. Not surprisingly, Drama won that season's Big Knish, too.

The Best Printable Line comes with the caveat of the quote being able to be reprinted for people of all ages. If not for this rule, Ari Gold would win every week. If not for this rule, I'd have been fired for dropping too many curses and lewd material in this blog.

1) If there were a Turtle look-a-like contest, I'd win in the 6-foot and over category hands down.

2) Why 23? It has nothing to do with Michael Jordan or LeBron James and everything to do with Don Mattingly.

3) Nicole Eggert needs to make a comeback.

4) I first interviewed Kevin Connolly from a bar. He was on set in L.A. I was at J.G. Melon's on 74th and 3rd. He hasn't let me forget it in our meetings since. Good times.

5) I'm just sayin.

6) I met Jon Lovitz in Vegas one night at the Hard Rock. My entourage and I were hammered. Six drunk New Yorkers. It was 3 a.m., maybe 4 a.m. We told him his phone book sucks.

7) "I Can't Live Without My Radio" by LL Cool J is such an underrated old-school rap song.

8) What do Doug Ellin, Lindsay Lohan and Mark La Monica have in common, other than being grouped in this sentence? They all shared Merrick as a hometown for a good portion of life.

9) I want to party with the guy who said, "Let's take this Britney girl and put her in a schoolgirl outfit and pigtails."

10) Not a day goes by where you can't quote a line from a Chris Rock HBO special and have it be appropriate to a real-life situation.

11) Yes, I bought the Vanilla Ice tape when it came out. Yes, I still have it!

12) Dr. Meredith Grey or Dr. Addison Montgomery? I struggle with the debate every time I watch "Grey's Anatomy" and "Private Practice."

13) After I got Kevin Dillon to scream "Victory!" on the red carpet one

14) I wish I started the "John Basedow perished in the tsunami" rumor.

15) Sometimes life needs an Edit > Undo function.

16) Robert De Niro or Al Pacino? Pacino!

17) I want to party with the guy who said "Let's put a hot chick in little clothing on the cover and write across Sex, Sports, Gadgets, Gear, Games, Style, etc., the top."

18) All-American Hamburger in Massapequa is just as good as In & Out on the West Coast.

19) "Clan in the front, let your feet stomp."

20) Percolating!

21) I can handle the truth.

22) Mark Lamonica is also the name of former WWE wrestler Bubba Ray Dudley. Sadly, no relation.

23) Victory!
