Yeah............he was singing a song on Larry King Live and Larry did a little interview with Josh beforehand and he said to Josh: "You got married?" And Josh gets this terrified look on his face and he said, "No I didn't" (Fear of commitment maybe? JK). And Larry says, "Yes you did. In the 2nd grade". That's when Josh starts to laugh. It was really cute.

[~Kati~]

OMJ! that sounds really cute! i'm so bummed i missed it!

Yes, apparently Josh married a little girl on the playground in second grade so that she would go away. I guess she was bothering him!! Bet that chick is kicking herself in the ass now!!!
