Here's a blooper reel from their Bush.
Yes, the rest of the videos are in production ... and the filmmakers have told me that things will be getting even worse for Georgie and Co., with some unexpected guests!
So stay tuned for the rest of the series -- the new episode will be done in a few days, and they hope to speed up the release schedule during the rest of the summer. The cast and crew really appreciate your interest and enthusiasm!
p.s. The actor appearing as Dubya is Jim Nieb, originally from the DC area but now living in Los Angeles. Quite a funny guy, who does a lot of stuff besides impersonations (balloon animals and magic tricks to entertain kids at hospitals, plus fire-eating ...) He started working on his Dubya act during Bush's first term -- one of his early appearances was at a peace rally just before the invasion. Since then he's been on a couple of TV shows as Dubya, and also the recent movie "Meet the Spartans" -- watch for him in the credits.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0630573/If you're in the LA area, Jim and his Bush (and other characters too) can be seen live in "Big News Show", every couple of weeks or so. He also used to perform (and sometimes still does occasionally) at the Maryland Renaissance Festival -- though not as Dubya. (Although Bush would probably feel right at home in a feudal kingdom where arbitrary detention, torture, and unprovoked invasions of other countries were the rule!)
http://bignewsreport.wordpress.com/Jim started doing his Bush impression without make-up, but a couple of years ago he worked with a Hollywood make-up artist to create facial prosthetics. (Mike Marino normally does monsters and other hideous movie creatures, so getting the right look for Bush was a snap.) By the way, Jim isn't the guy who appears on Jay Leno's show (that's Steve Bridges), or on Craig Ferguson's (that's James Adomian).
Here's the video Jim did, documenting the make-up process.
