Who is Mark Schwahn?
Mark Schwahn is apparently the guy who came up with that show that no one I know watches, One Tree Hill. I don’t even know enough about him to know if he is a Trashy Celeb. Is he? Let’s find out together.
Well, judging from that photo, he does seem a little douchey. I mean, that hair? Come on. It is so very Peter Horton-1990-thirtysomething. That’s one point to “Trashy.” He also is responsible for putting that dork with three names Chad Michael Murray on television. Another point to “Trashy.” He also wasted 40 seconds of my time with the following YouTube video, touting the new season of One Tree Hill (which for some reason I keep confusing with Men in Trees even though I don’t know what that one is about either.) I have no idea what he is talking about here, but maybe you will:
So that is THREE points for Trashy, no points for Not Trashy. And what is up with that extra “H” in his last name? Okay that is FOUR points for Trashy. And since first to five wins, well, then there is no way Not Trashy is going to win. But from my less than five minutes of internet research on Mr. Schwahn, I have found one BIG point in the Not Trashy column …. he is responsible for getting the awesome Barry Corbin back on television. Barry Corbin! John Travolta’s Uncle Bob on Urban Cowboy! General Beringer from Wargames who offered to piss on a spark plug!
So here’s the wrap up …. Mark Schwahn is officially a Trashy Celeb. But he’s also redeemed because he’s a friend of Barry Corbin. Remember how Quentin Tarantino single-handedly revived John Travolta’s career with Pulp Fiction? Well, this is totally the poor man’s version of that. Welcome to continued success, Barry Corbin! At least on the CW!
