Judah Friedlander is best known about Dave Matthews Band fans as the hug guy from the "Everyday" video, filmed in October of 2001, a few months after the release of the album of that name. Three years later, the New York Times (registration required) follows up with Friedlander, now a stand-up comic who is routinely approached and hugged by complete strangers on the streets of Manhattan.
