Pringles Xtreme and Jake Sasseville teamed up to break a Guinness World Record® for the “Largest Can Drum Ensemble,” using Pringles Xtreme cans during the Pringles Xtreme Campus Tour at Central Michigan University (CMU). For this attempt, Jake asked students at CMU to help him shatter this world record for the largest can drum ensemble with a noise so loud it could be heard across the country!

Members from the Campus Tour Staff handed out free cans of Pringles Xtreme for students to use to break the record and Jake asked students to raise their cans and drum as loud as they could to build momentum and excitement before the scheduled We The Kings concert.

Pringles Xtreme is the proud Title Sponsor of the Pringles Xtreme Campus Tour, during which Jake will hit the road this fall with We The Kings and J. Cole, visiting 18 campuses across the country. Visit http://www.latenightrepublic.com/campustour/ for a full list of tour stops.

On Saturday, October 2, we celebrated with people around the world to commemorate the anniversary of Lance Armstrong’s cancer diagnosis. LIVESTRONG Day is a global day of action to celebrate survivorship and commit to working toward a world without cancer.

In conjunction with our friends at FRS Healthy Energy, our road trip team and members of our staff from around the United States showed their support by wearing LIVESTRONG yellow.

The San Diego Entertainer published a story today urging the local CW network to keep Jake on television for the fall. The station is considering shifting Jake’s timeslot to a made-for-TV movie! (Frankly, that’s about as wise as putting a half-hour jazz-flute performance on the air.)

Read the article and let folks in San Diego know that you want Jake to stay on the air. Give the station a shout on Facebook and Twitter, too!

in the rain forest
just north of the costa rican border
in Nicaragua.

so deep in the rain forest in fact
that SURVIVOR is filming its 62nd season
on the beach below.
