Jake the Snake
"What Up With That" had me at the exact same moment as you, Claire. Throw in Jake the Snake and just give up on any pretense that the sketch had of being a "talk show." They stepped up the weirdness from the first one, and I approve. I just hope they don't (and know they will) run the sketch into the

Lazy
The trouble is the writers have become more and more reliant on re-occurring characters, regardless of whether the sketch is played out, or was ever funny in the first place. I recognize that the show has always relied on reoccurring characters, but they were usually funnier, and found ways to reinvent them for

J-Roc was on season 2 as the "Gotta Be Gay Guy".

Ahem…
The Joe Schmo Show.

Buddy!
So I totally called it last week that Buddy was conflicted about being a Panther booster this year after Joe McCoy and Wade Aikman wrestled control from him and Eric last year. There were scenes last week of him looking really uncomfortable when they were asking Tami to call the coin toss, and now he comes

Those weren't practice jerseys, either. They don't have two sets. The same stained, torn, wasting away jerseys were used last week in practice and in the game.

The way the "Scenes from the next" implied it, she will say that she suspects that he was murdered, not that she knows it. And we have seen tonight that Jax can't see past him and Clay to take in the whole picture when it is staring him in the face (they never ONCE thought Zobelle was behind any of this?)

I have never bought the notion that Gemma didn't know that Clay killed John. Hamlet is always more interesting when they play Gertrude as another villain.

Bobby knows!
Did you catch the look on Bobby's face when Tig was talking to Jax about the two of them knowing the reason for Opie going crazy lately? And coming right after he asked Jax about what all the "killing a club members wife" business was all about? He knows what happened to Donna.

Um
Conan O'Brien. But I bet it will be Will Ferrell

Chris Brown stars in Cool World 2: Remember the Matrix?

Never Missed an Episode
I have been watching since the beginning, and I have no idea what 75 percent of last nights episode was about. I have no recollection of Noah's partner. Did we see her before? And aren't The Company's agents supposed to be "One of Us, One of Them"? Did she have powers? Charlie had a blood

Dude, you're in LA?
We gotta hang out! What is your team?

You mean his first major starring vehicle? You are not clever. You are not witty. You add nothing.

Love It
I love the sheer exhaustion on No. 2's face throughout the whole process. He knows from the outset that they are doomed to fail, both because of the time limit forced on him (and why couldn't he have more time? Because 6 needed to be out in time for the events of the finale?) and because he had come the

Fruit Brute
That is all.

Egads!
They stole my idea!!!

Does anyone else see that picture and get a kind of "Eric Stolts in Mask" vibe?

I keep waiting for the NBC press release that will inexplicibly declare "The King of Late Night is now the King of Prime Time!" cause you know NBC will never admit failure.

That. Was. Awesome.
