“The Sitter” Has Been Getting Some Hilarious Voicemail! Caleb Hamilton, September 15, 2011 Earlier this week, we reported the start of a viral campaign for 20th Century Fox’s upcoming release The Sitter, starring Jonah Hill in the title role. Allied-THA distributed flyers with Jonah’s picture and a phone number to call with the message “Need a sitter?” Since the initial report, thousands of people have been calling Jonah looking for a sitter. While they didn’t have the luck of actually speaking with Jonah, some have had the privilege of having the voicemails they left featured on the film’s Facebook page.
