Well, yes.

If you were OK with “Substack, the Nazi Bar,” maybe “Substack, a front for the gambling on life and death casino” might convince you.

Dolly Parton is what every billionaire should be: not a billionaire because she gives too much money away.

If he's standing up when he dies, he will splatter like a water balloon when he hits the ground.

On that note, you should listen to Henry Winkler's memoir ("Being Henry") just to hear his impersonation of Paul McCartney.

I've been reading/listening to a lot of performer bios and memoirs lately, especially people related to comedy, and one theme that recurs in nearly all of them is the time when they met Paul McCartney. He's the Forrest Gump of entertainer bios, popping up everywhere for decades now.

It’s so funny when people who never watch SNL watch it because of the host and then think the host was special for being in every sketch, which has been the standard for roughly 30 years.

Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

I think I thought SONG SUNG BLUE was going to be Hugh Jackman competing in a tournament of Neil Diamond impersonators or something. It's not that! He and Kate Hudson are both really good.

A copy of MAD #1 (Oct. 1952) in poor condition will set you back $900. www.mycomicshop.com/search?mingr...

I'm 37 issues away from having all 550 original MAD magazines (regular issues). Unfortunately, the 37 I still need are the priciest ones, so it might be another few decades before I finish. On the other hand, they'll only get pricier with time, so maybe I should cash in my 401(k) and buy them now.

My idiot moment during SNL is that I thought they were doing the ice-skating sketch live downstairs at the Rockefeller Center skating rink. I only realized they were in the studio when the camera pulled back at the end. 🤡

Personally, I was thinking how bombing a school makes it easy to stop supporting The Troops, which I was really only pretending to do anyway.

Tonight's movie with the 24-year-olds was one I hadn't seen either (a first for us): ORDINARY PEOPLE. We all liked it. It is very sad. It isn't "slow," but you notice how much faster paced movies are now compared to 1980. Everyone's so great in it.

Totally, but hard to see works too. I didn’t mean it as a correction, just a funny thing about language.

You might think "see" and "watch" are synonyms, but a movie that's hard to see is much different from one that's hard to watch.

As soon as Trump was reelected, CEOs said, "Get me the list of all those rapists we fired, stat!"

For those who don't know, Max Landis is a rapist. His being a rapist got him "canceled" a few years ago, but being a rapist is now viewed as a positive quality, so here we are.

What are we using instead of Spotify?

Sorry, that looks a lot like a podcast.

Do you guys do this routine in person? Any chance I can see it live?

So now when I'm in L.A. again, in April, I have to find the mayor and fight him or her.

I was in L.A. in October and apparently got a parking ticket—"apparently" because it was not a literal ticket in the physical sense, but one they mail to you later. Except I never got the mail, either. What I got was a collection agency asking why I hadn't paid the ticket I hadn't gotten. Whee!

Question for NBC audio engineers: Will having a Heated Rivalry guy, Ryan Gosling, and Harry Styles host SNL three weeks in a row be too much high-pitched shrieking for the audience mics to handle? Shouldn't they throw a Paul Giamatti somewhere in there for balance?

How did Lorne decide which of the Heated Rivalry boys to have host SNL? Did he go with the one who is obviously more charming and interesting? Has the drawing of that distinction caused a rift between the two??

I'm disappointed that you apparently have to be told to watch SNL.
