It’s always hilarious to see old footage of celebrities doing shitty gigs to pay their bills before they made it big. This Jell-O commercial with Lindsay Lohan may ring a bell. Or maybe this clip of Helen Hunt as a cracked out teen jumping through a window. Well, this morning Vanity Fair struck the “celebrity doing dumb shit to pay the bills” goldmine: It’s a video of Paul Rudd DJing a Bat Mitzvah in 1992.
He has Keanu Reeves hair. He’s wearing a bright yellow jacket. He helps the birthday girl cheat in a limbo contest. And from what you’re able to make out, he was always, always, always a smokin’ hot babe.
Enjoy. And please share any stories you have of pre-American Idol Carrie Underwood waiting on your table at Denny’s or Kevin Spacey fixing your toilet in 1981 in the comments.

Molls – this made my day! I heart Paul Rudd even more now that I’ve seen him in that AWFUL outfit, still giving it his best.
Dude Didi Benomi went to West High with me, but I hung out with her older sister Mya more. They come from a Jewish family; they were, I guess kinda loaded thanks to their parents. She was into drama a little bit, and I think that’s odd because there were other people that starred in the high school plays (and were better), but Didi was a little prettier and alot less talented. Can’t have your cake and eat it too, right?
He was actually in Halloween 6, and was hot then too :-)
Plus, I love the movie.
My dad has a copy of Bill Gates’ mugshot around in an old box soomewhere (they were friends in Albuquerque back in the day).
