Taran was also open (on, I think Maron's podcast) about Paul Brittain being fired several years ago and the turmoil that caused with the younger cast members like himself and Vanessa Bayer.

Hammond took over Trump so Killam could do Cruz in the Republican debate sketches.

Wow, Jeff Richards. He quit in a huff in early '04 when he was doing the Howard Dean impression and it became apparent that Dean wouldn't be the nominee. And since then, he's… uh…

Surprisingly, Killam's only been there six years. It's just that he jumped right in to being heavily featured, unlike, say, Bennett, Mooney, or Rudnitsky, who were barely on at all.

Early on, he was the second-best everyman in the cast (behind Sudeikis) and the second-best at physical comedy (behind Hader; seriously, check out those les jeunes des Paris, or the animatronic sketches).

Didn't know she did anything to her face. Let me just check this out… ok…
Oh. Oh, my. Can't unsee that.

Stephen Thompson's final review for this site was Everclear's Greatest Hits. Could there BE any more '90s way to leave a company?

It seems as if he wants to work with certain directors, and he doesn't really care if he's not attached to quality films from those directors. That's my take on it, anyway.

What TV coverage got canned? I was away for a few weeks.

Uh… OK.

Do I need to be concerned? Is this sort of cash-grab the beginning of the end of the AV Club?

Yes, exactly. This album cemented Tom Petty love by Gen X'ers.

Has any other Batman property ever suggested that Batman and Batgirl were banging? They're both consenting adults in most stories, but for some reason, hearing that really makes me say "ew."

Wow, that is a surprising amount of Rush.

Didn't understand at the time, but I went to a major league baseball game on Friday, and several kids had made Pokemon-themed signs. Three girls were sitting near me with a big sign that said "We're just here for the Pokemon." And people were wandering up and down the concourse with their noses in their phones.…
