What a wonderful way to utilize Tig’s refusal to engage in pop culture! I absolutely love this!!

[@csmcblck]

😂😂 I totally agree. I think it's such a genius idea. I love it! 😍🙌🙌

[@mdqquinn2513]

I don't know who any of these people are...if you don't watch their tv show...you wouldn't know them...so are they really famous? Or just tv show famous?

[@audacity1375]

that's her refusing to engage? what happens when she agrees to engage?

[@Amathene]

Alexa is actually a great comedic device

[@tvstudentNL]

Fun fact: Van Der Beek means Of The Creek in Dutch so really James is James of the Creek of Dawson's Creek.

[@thethrowawaythatstayed7055]

Nathalie Bank no way?!

[@bebelc2l]

I don’t even know if this is true but I’ll accept it anyway. He is James of the Creek from Dawson’s Creek to me now. Thanks

[@HellcoreFire]

@@thethrowawaythatstayed7055 Yes, it is true. Van Der Beek in Flemish can be translated as Of The Creek/Stream/Brook. Even though "van" can mean "of", "from" or "by", in this case the better translation would be From The Creek.

[@azxzn]

James of the Creek was the star of Dawson's Creek. I mean could it have been more perfect.

[@EvelineUK]

I am Dutch and I thought he was giving her a hint for his name rather than the show. ;)

[@JazGalaxy]

I desperately wish VanDerBeek would find his second act. The guy is too smart and too charming to have been wasted all these years.

[@ellehull9576]

I think he’s pretty happy in is life. He has a beautiful wife and like five kids that he’s proud of. Just because his fame isn’t where it once was, doesn’t mean he’s not right where he wants to be.

[@Skittl1321]

Don't trust the B was amazing.

[@ethomas1995]

There was a smaller movie he was in where he played a serial killer. I think he plugged himself into that character very well like the chameleon that was to be portrayed. There's past "younger" self and a future "aged" (not so good prosthetics) version of the character. I can't remember the name of the film; perhaps in the last 15 years it came out? He cracked me up in the "Celebrities React" KZbin series, where he watches an Ice JJ Fish video.

[@JoeGamer81]

I never liked Dawson's Creek, but I've always been a big fan of James Bus Shovel Bird.

James Van Der Beek also volunteered with Make a Film Foundation to appear in my niece Rina Goldberg's film "The Magic Bracelet." Thank you forever, James. My niece is in heaven and we are very grateful. I believe she is looking down too, with appreciation.

[@mattjust4450]

My favorite was his reaction to her calling him “Dig the Beek”. His immediate thought was “why haven’t I been called this my entire life?!”! You know he uses it on Kimberly now.

Tig, years ago my Nana enjoyed you so much, & tuned me into you. I’ve watched whatever work you’ve put out ever since. Whenever I see you create something new, I’m not only overjoyed, but can’t help think/miss my Nana. She passed away Sept. 29th, 2016. You really made her laugh. It was very special when she did.
