Remember the Ben "Dell Dude" Curtis, the star of the "Dude, you’re getting a Dell" commercials?

I’ve had tables of young girls who think they recognize me, and when they ask me, I say “yes” and then they don’t believe me and they start arguing and ask me to do the catchphrase and I’ll laugh and say, “It’s been four years, but I’m glad you’re a fan.”

    “He’s now a waiter and bartender in a New York restaurant in New York”

    Dude, read the article. It says where he works.
