Happy Andrew Dan-Jumbo Day!
While am not about to start lobbying to make today a national holiday celebrating the ever-so charming, tool-belt wearing carpenter from While You Were Out, am not opposed to dedicating this fine, sunny day to such a deserving chap.
As have been right poor lately, have been taking in hours and hours of home redecorating reality TV as means of passing time til payday (15 hours to go). Must say that Andrew is my favorite part of being poor. After a quick internet search found that ADJ has his own FAN page, complete with fan mail address. Simply had no idea (though it's completely justified) that he had such a following. Will refrain from sending him fan mail, as am not the sort to do so. But... if this gal were to send a fan letter, it might go something like this...
Dear Andrew,
I never write to celebrities (unless of course you count that letter to Natalie Portman. But that was only to tell her that her panties were showing at dinner. Or that her dog is extraordinarily ugly. Or that one to ask Lisa-Marie Presley if we can hang out cause her anger really gives me the giggles. But I digress), but since it's Andrew Dan-Jumbo Day, I thought it only fitting.
You're adorable. Yeah, yeah, tool belts are hot, yadda yadda... I'm sure you hear it all the time. That's not what I'm getting at. You're positively charming. You work with that annoying woman (I don't need to say who; it's pretty obvious) but you keep your cool. You didn't even staple-gun Teresa to a 2x4 when she wouldn't get off your back about the cell phone. But the laugh-out-loud, oh-my-god-he's-unstoppable moment came when you asked to Puja if she'd consider an arranged marriage with you. You said you had a dowry. You meant your expansive collection of tools. My dirty mind went elsewhere, but that's not the point.
Anyway, this is your day. Enjoy.
Much fondness,
H
Posted by This Fish at August 21, 2003 09:57 AMI have to agree with u Fish, ADJ is quite charming and I too have no idea how he can put up with She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named!
*off to my ADJ fan club meeting* chao!
Posted by: Iferlynn at August 21, 2003 12:19 PMI concur, Fish. Instead of doing my silly summer reading, I watched a lot of TLC this summer, and Andrew is indeed a fine man.

Posted by: Michael at August 22, 2003 12:59 AMim a fan of ty on trading spaces, but andrew is highly hittable
Posted by: sas at August 22, 2003 01:28 AMHey, it's not the size of a man's dowry, it's how he uses it. Or at least that's what I'll believe.
(Looks down at his own tool belt in shame).
Posted by: Texas T-bone at August 22, 2003 11:35 AMYeah...I'm more of a fan of Ty...but I guess Andrew is pretty cool too.
Posted by: keol at August 22, 2003 05:10 PMHmmm...Ty or ADJ? Could I have both? Ty's such a cutie, but so hyper, while ADJ is so very English, yum. Happily, we can watch both shows several times per week, yay!
I did really like Andrew's arranged marriage bit last week, that was cute.
(Who is she who must not be named?? Is she blond and shares her last name with 2 states?)
Posted by: Little Librarian at August 26, 2003 09:09 PM*dies laughing* I LOVE Andrew too! I didn't realize how many women in this world loves him. I recently had surgery and have been down in my back for months now (even though I'm only 22 years old). The only thing that really makes it worth while is watching Andrew on While You Were Out. And let me just say, I think that Andrew's real arch neimisis is Chayse Dacota. *lmao* She always seems to make him crazy.
Well I'm just glad so many women love Andrew... my future husband *lol*

Posted by: April at September 1, 2003 04:04 PMI have to agree, Andrew is one sexy man! He has that sexy voice and body! You can't get any better than Mr. Andrew Dan-Jumbo now can you?

Posted by: Lauralee at September 25, 2003 11:07 PMWhat's left to say? I love Andrew too! I definitely wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers!!!
Posted by: Lori at September 28, 2003 01:24 PMI would like to have Andrew fuck me.
Posted by: Beth at October 2, 2003 07:03 PMandrew and chayse are really an item! if you've been paying attention and have EVER had the HOTS for anyone, you've known forever that they argue to cover up that they're bangin. REVEALED on 10/3 episode...hearts broken across oceans, ADJ! (but i think chayse is adorable and terribly talented, so what do i know?).
Posted by: karen at October 3, 2003 09:25 PMandrew, you are the hottest guy on while you were out. your british accent is soooooooooooooooo hot!!!!!!!!
Andrew. You are so attractive that everytime you are on tv i die!!
the episode when you were sick and you wore the wife beater, mmmmmmmmmmmmm! i'm sorry you were sick.
my sisters and i think you are so cute with your accent. my sisters lived in london for a while and they just love british accents. i love them too!!!!
yo chayse and adj do not go out. he's totally single. besides she doesn't fit is criteria for the type of girl he's into (look at his article in playgirl) she's not his type plus she's so very annoying. he's more fun than she is. by the way, i loooooooooooooooooooooooooooove that british babe!
Posted by: Victoria at October 6, 2003 07:15 PMOMG I AM SOOOOOOO IN LUST FOR ANDREW! MY KIDS TEASE ME SOOO BAD WHEN I WATCH THIS OH SOOO YUMMY MAN ON WYWO! I WOULD LUV TO JOIN ANY FAN CLUBS FOR HIM, IF YOU KNOW OF ANY PLEASE TELL ME!
THANKS !
So whats up with Andrew and Chayse? Are they going out or what? God I hope not. Hes too hot for her. Anyways I love him way more than CHAYSE!!!
Posted by: Annie at October 9, 2003 09:40 PMSorry ladies. I LOVE Andrew too, but my heart was recently broken when he confirmed that he currently has a girlfriend. Check out this article http://www.indystar.com/print/articles/2/081127-2002-066.html
Posted by: d-nice at October 13, 2003 02:23 PMI have to agree with all of you who thing adj is a hot babe. I went to a Southern Womens' Show in Jacksonville Florida today 10/23/03 and had to honor to meet him there. He is just as sweet as he is a babe. I got a picture of him with his autograph and took plenty of pictures of him. Fortunately I got there early and was able to get a front row seat. I even got to put my arms around him. It felt ooooooooooooooooooooooh soooooooooooooooo good. My girlfriend was with me so she took two pictures of him and I. Now, many of you may not believe this, but he actually asked me if I was married. His autograph read like this, "HI, Nora My #1 Fan.....and sexy too....Andrew. I thought I was going to faint. I couldn't stop shaking. I felt like a teenager all over again. It was the most amazing day. I just wished I could meet him again. By the way, I asked him if he had a fans club, but he said he didn't any longer. I really couldn't ask him everything I wanted cause there was a long line behind me and I didn't want to get beat down by all the other women who were still waiting to see him too. Ladies, it was so great getting to meet him. One lady asked him is him and chase were dating and he said they weren't. He said they are just friends. I'm not naive, but he did seem pretty sincere about it. Anyhow, I just thought I'd share this with other women who are as crazy about Andrew as I am.
Posted by: Nora at October 23, 2003 07:29 PMWoah, andrew, we have similar names! only one letter off. I guess we have to get married. jk.
Well, my dad loves to do carpentry and he looks up to you for your carpentry ideas. I think that it is cool that you were born in Africa and then moved to England. your brithish accent is hot! I especially like your accent. I also love Irish accents. Example: Colin Ferrall. GrrRRRRrrrrr~!!!
Bye. You are one attractive man.
andrea
p.s. what is up w/ the this fish needs a new bicycle?
Posted by: Andrea at October 26, 2003 10:26 PMYes I agree Andrew is awesome. If Leslie wasn't married I'd say that they should be together! They are the highlight of the show. Check out this site for Leslie (its got some stuff on Andrew too) www.angelfire.com/art2/leslie_segrete
Posted by: Someone at November 9, 2003 01:41 PMAs I sit here reading... I am excited, surprised and possibly a bit disturbed (ha ha) to find that there is a web page where we can log on and anonymously exploit our passions for the drool inducing ADJ from While You Were Out.
This is guy is the stuff dreams are made of...
Posted by: Bumbelarina at November 9, 2003 04:39 PMI agree with Bumbelarina and am shocked that I am even writing anything. I have asked myself is it his looks, his voice , his build, his height,the accent, what is it that appeals to me the most? My answer is of course the combination of all of those things but also I love the chemistry between he and Leslie. I love the fact that he doesn't take himself too seriously. As far as he and Chase, my read on the situation is that he really doesn't care for her too much. He seems like a guy who would be fun to go out and have a beer with.
Posted by: Phillyfan at November 10, 2003 07:09 PMi most definately agree with fish. andrew dan-jumbo is possibly the yummiest man on the planet. i also think that he and chase just don't work well together (on the hook-up level), she's just a little too uptight.
Posted by: emily at December 7, 2003 03:40 PMI watch t.v just to see him omg he is so fine that if i were to see him I would probably pass out. I know it must get really hot out there working so he should take his sirt off!
Posted by: Jessica at December 26, 2003 10:53 PMhey ya'll. DANJ is a cutie batootie but im not the real fan. i swear to you all that my 15 year old friend katie is sooooooooo love w/ hoim that its scary! omg i do think hes precious but im not dying for him. we watch the show together and she drools! its great. for her 18th birthday if the show is still running and danj is still on the show(OH GOSH I HOPE SO!) im sooooo getting on there for her to make something over. she loves andrew to pieces! we think he's adorably fine. we also hate that thing, that girl carpenter that works w/ him:(:(:(:( andrew watch out, katie will find you one of these days and im just giving you the heads up!
Posted by: Amanda at December 27, 2003 11:59 PMADJ is gorgeous! I hate redecorating shows but I started watching WYWO because of ADJ. He just seems so nice. If Leslie wasn't married, they would make the best couple.
Posted by: Kyfan at December 31, 2003 02:04 AMI have dreams about Andrew. I haven't had this big a crush since I was 13!
Want to see a photo of Andrew Dan-Jumbo with the "Spinach Lady?"
Posted by: The Spinach Lady at January 14, 2004 05:32 PMWhen I looked Andrew up on the internet, it was because I thought he was hot, but I had no idea that so many women agreed with me. I wonder what Andrew thinks of all of the attention he's getting. By the way, does anyone know how old he is?
Posted by: C. L. Fernander at January 19, 2004 01:26 PMYes, I want to see a picture of ADJ and the Spinach Lady!
Posted by: Kim at January 20, 2004 12:44 PMI would just like to say that Andrew Dan-Jumbo may be one of the lost wonders of the world! I love watching him on WYWO, and seeing him with those powertools makes me think naughty things...but I digress. He's actually going to be at the Philadelphia Home Show this weekend, and I'm going to meet him. Someway, somehow, I will get his autograph!!! Mark my words!
Posted by: Krissi at January 20, 2004 01:35 PMAll I need to say is that this brotha has it going all the way on TALL,DARK AND HANSOME all in one.You have to thank his mother.!!!! Thanks Mom Oh you have thank his dad.!! Thanks dad For such a beautiful specimen born in NIGERIA!!!! Alotta love goes out to you Andrew just keep up the good work. Naptown loves you!!!!!!!
Posted by: Shawna at January 31, 2004 06:32 PMHas Andrew quite the show the ending statement from Paige was how they will miss him? What's Up? Anyone knows?
Posted by: Stephanie W at February 1, 2004 01:07 AMbecause he doesn't usually do trading spaces, just while u were out. Andrew is the best thing to happen to TV since color!
Posted by: jill at February 1, 2004 01:14 AMWhat happened to andrewdan-jumbo.com?

Posted by: nian at February 3, 2004 02:58 PMI here you nian. God is good the site is back up.
Posted by: renee at February 6, 2004 07:31 AMI think that Andrew is very hott and sexy. His accent is one thing that makes him sexy...but all in all it's just HIM that makes him sexy. I really love watchin him on WYWO...and i hope to meet him one day...if anyone knows when he would be somewhere in VA...please e-mail me and tell me...thanks......
Posted by: Tiffany LeeAnn at February 8, 2004 10:14 PMAndrew!!! You are sort of the carpenter world's IDOL!!! I don' think you know how much people you really touch. You are the most respectful carpenter I know... not to mention the most handsome-est man I know!!!
Posted by: Jay at February 14, 2004 03:35 AMAndrew is 39 and will be the big 4-0 on June 25.
Posted by: akaellen at February 16, 2004 02:09 PMI thought that andrew was already 40. I could be wrong. I'll check some other time. By the way did anyone watch while you were out friday night (2-20-04). Andrew was so cute doing his little dance moves!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: annie at February 25, 2004 01:19 PMI have watched and taped "wywo" for many years. I truly believe Andrew & Teresa should be together. I know are going to say i'm obsessed when I say this but I have already chosen a name for thier daughter: Andresa. I came up with it myself , as you can guess it's a combination of Andrew & Teresa.
Posted by: Kayla Summy at February 26, 2004 01:50 PMHmm..Andrew is nice, but I think there's more to him than his sex appeal.I think he actually dislikes being in the limelight, and all of this superficial attention. I like watching his carpentry skills.
Posted by: Maddie at February 27, 2004 08:48 PMi think andrew dan-jumbo is very very very hot!!!
i also think ty from trading spaces is hot
i like chayse she nice!! i think andrew and leslie are good for each other but leslie is marryed ( wawawawa) love ya meaghan morris
Posted by: meaghan at March 1, 2004 08:10 AMcould this get any better...? a handsome, charming man with tool skills...the show is good but only has my full attention when he's on it.
Posted by: carol at March 2, 2004 11:40 AMI think that Andrew Dan-Jumbo is soooooooooooooooo
cute and very sexxxxxxxxxxxxxy.
I have big dreams of Andrew dan-Jumbo. I had a crush on him since when I was 12 years old.
Posted by: Elyse at March 18, 2004 07:48 PMJust in case it hasn't already been said...Andrew has some fans in Canada as well.What a lovely import he is...so easy on the eyes.I agree with many in the fact that he and Chayse would so NOT make a good couple (but doesn't she wear a big diamond on her wedding ring finger anyways?...just wondering). I love watching he and Leslie playing around in Carpentry World...they look like they would be such fun to be around. All I want to know is who is this new carpenter who's encroaching on Andrew's territory??He just doesn't seem to be quite so talented as the wonderful Andrew, and not nearly as lovely to look at. Andrew is the BEST part of While You Were Out. I think if I found out that while "I" was out that Andrew was in my house, I'd be a bit saddened to have missed it all.
Well, I think I've drooled on for a little too long...but it's hard not to where Andrew is concerned!
From A Canadian Fan Who Loooooves The Show
Back off girls! The man is mine. LOL !
Does any body think that Jason (the new carpenter) is sickning? I don't know. It could just be me, but I think he just tries to act cute when everyone knows hes not. And if we wanted to see someone with his shirt off it wouldn't be him. So Jason keep the shirt on and Andrew-take it off! (ha ha)
Posted by: annie at April 13, 2004 07:20 PMAndrew!!!
I saw him last night and I got his autograph and 2 pictures with him!
I can't stop smiling.
btw, to amend a previous post, Andrew is 39 and his birthday is July 5th (not june 25th). He will be 40 this year.
******smiles**********************
Posted by: akaellen at April 16, 2004 04:17 PMI love the show sooooooo much!!! Andrew Dan-Jumbo is the hottest guy ever!!!!!!!!!!!! I have so many pics of him and I cant help but to just dream of him. i cant believe that they have Jason on the show every now and then and it makes me mad. I love Andrew and i will always be watching the show.
Posted by: Amber Wooldridge at April 20, 2004 04:18 PMwow what the heck is with this new carpenter??!! I got so upset when I watched the show and this Jason guy was replacing my Andrew. this upsets me greatly, Andrew come back to us-full time
Posted by: Liz at April 26, 2004 08:23 AMAndrew and Chase DID have a thing at one time (Evan revealed this on an October show), but it, whatever it may have been, is no longer.
It is my personal observation that the new carpenter, Jason, is only on when Chase is designing a room, making room for gossip that Chase and Andrew can no longer work in peace together? Just something I have observed, don't know for sure.
