Long Duk Dong?

I don't know, a whole movie seems like it would be going a bridge too far.  The appeal of Stefon's life is that we never see it for ourselves, we just get glimpses of it here and there through what Stefon tells us.  In a movie, it would be inevitable that we would actually see for ourselves what Stefon's world is

Good points, @avclub-29501df08e5d9ae59e432e4f188d3735:disqus.  I was too young to vote in 2000, but I think deciding on a candidate would have been much more difficult if it were between Gore and McCain instead of Gore and Bush.  I think if McCain's campaign could have deflected all the vile nonsense Rove's viper den

Murray—Present: pro duck face.

The Shins are the first musical guest in weeks I've been excited for.  It's insane how much music has changed since they broke into the mainstream- in 2004 or so, The Shins were a soft-rock alternative for proto hipsters looking for melodic music.  Nowadays, they're practically an adrenaline power house next to Bon

Samberg was really exciting about 8 years ago when he joined the cast as the spazzy, out of control, charismatic young guy who always seemed like he was winging it.  Almost a decade later, he's still playing his characters in more or less the same way, and it's almost embarrassing now.

They seriously need to have a sketch where Stefon goes to the Meyers' house for Christmas dinner or something.

I almost wish you kept that to yourself, doing a sendup of how The Shins used to be relevant starring The Shins would have been awesome.  They could talk about how all the young people still love Zach Braff or something.

I know I will.

There are FAR TOO FEW mentions of sweets of that show.  Not my cup of tea, thank you very much.

At this point, I'm looking for them to develop Stefon a little bit as well.  I don't know if I'm remembering this correctly or not, but at the beginning, I seem to remember his character as being a flustered, on edge gay guy who would explain aspects of his bizarre existence in a conversational tone, which made him

When are they just going to start calling this "The Weekend Update Hour ft. SNL" and be done with it?  Seriously, that sketch is ballooning up larger and larger every week, and not necessarily for the best.

Yeah, Price is Right era Drew Carey is real creepy looking.

If you squint really hard at fat Jonah Hill and slowly pull your face back from the screen, he either turns into skinny Jonah Hill or a sailboat.

Eh, I kind of liked the Japanese restaurant sketch.  I think if I were to watch it again, I'd have a much harder time getting swept up in it, but it's such a good premise I didn't mind.  Also, it's funny how given that SNL is notorious for recycling sketches, I didn't mind seeing the return of this one.  The fact they

The cold open was particularly disappointing because Taren actually nailed the voice and some of Rush's mannerisms.  I got kind of excited considering how Limbaugh is a one man sketch comedy content generating machine, but in true SNL form, they decided to waste it all on an unremarkable list of goofy sponsors.

Oh god, the memories just came flooding back.

Grimm is just bad TV and there's no nice to way to put it.  I've given it a number of chances in the course of procrastinating, and every time I have I've always wondered "what is this doing on NBC instead of the CW?"  It's also hurt by how every attempt they make at being current- like prominently featuring a dubstep

Oh god, it's true.
