In Tom Davis' memoir, he talks about Amazon Women on the Moon, and its development sounds a lot like Movie 43. John Landis approached several ex-SNL writers in the early '80s to write sketches for it at different times, including Franken and Davis, and it also took 4-5 years for the movie to ever actually get

Does that mean season 6 never made it to syndication? Just found out that our market is still airing Community reruns on weekends at 2 a.m. So, I guess I'm asking for my local bartender community.

Yeah, but if Party Over Here or the Nightly Show were getting, y'know, good ratings, going viral wouldn't matter. The problem is they were getting bad ratings and no one was discussing them on social media. You can have one or the other, but you can't have neither.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the White House Correspondents' Dinner fiasco, which other media outlets are saying was basically his last chance to save the show.

I was in Montreal at the same time as the JFL festival last summer, and Chris D'Elia was walking down the street getting mobbed by various people and juggling two different cellphone calls while his assistant talked to someone on a third phone. Apparently Canadians love them some D'Elia.

Summing up comments from about 50 different people on here:
"This is a real shame. I liked Larry Wilmore, thought he had an interesting perspective that TV needs.
Me? Oh, I quit watching months ago."

I don't think it was as much the ratings, or the drop in ratings, but the size of the drop in ratings. I'm sure Comedy Central has some idea of what it was doing in next-day streaming, and I'd imagine it was "not much."

He met with the author of O'Donoghue's biography and tweeted out a picture of the two of them (with Lennon in full O'Donoghue mode). It works pretty well.

Why does the dragon have fur? Why does it have a feline face? Aren't dragons reptiles?

Wow, only six comments. Yikes.

I'd lay even money that Jess McKenna will be, at the very least, a B-list comedy star within 5 years. She's funny.

It did give us that great "What is a Blouse" song. I'm still singing it six months later.

It was actually on at 11, not 11:30, so it wouldn't compete directly against SNL. Blame your late local news.

It might be the lowest-budgeted show I've ever seen on a major network. Half the sketches were done UCB-style on a blank stage in a hotel ballroom.

He was on the Middle for its first few seasons, and now does some stand-up. Most of his social media presence is rehashing old SNL bits. It's kinda sad, and I consider myself a fan.

Oh man, this is finally coming out? It was shot a LONG time ago.

Brittain was fired, period. He didn't really leave to work on other projects. It came down in the middle of the season, which was odd, and Killam didn't know why. I don't know if Brittain knew why. Killam and Bayer were mad about it, but had basically no power, and kept their heads down.

Which is interesting because the two people he came in with, Seth Meyers and Will Forte, became real mainstays of the cast and had a real impact. He had drunk girl.

The rumor was he was basically frozen out by the cast and writers after his Twitter stuff was found.
