Dolores and Mitch are always great, but the Tommy Wiseau for Leesa spot last week was truly inspired.

I couldn't possibly pick a #1 right now, but every episode that has featured Mantzoukas (today's and Hey Nong Man) or Middleditch (Kid Detectives, 6th Anniversary, and the Silicon Valley P-Cast) deserves to make the Best Ofs.

I couldn't imagine Jarles leaving the country so he couldn't celebrate Christmas. He's devout and he's patriotic. That's two things about Jarles!

Generalissimo Brad Wall is simply liberating Edmontonians from the communist tyrants in Alberta. All hail glorious Wall!

I've never read anything by Eliot, but still got the FJ right because I remember "The Waste Land" was a key plot device in one of the later Lemony Snicket books (The Grim Grotto, I think).

I know it was revealed to the pertinent characters that the story was discredited, but I can't remember if the public ever found out that the story was false. Even if they did, it's likely that the swiftboating dogged Chung's campaign enough to make him lose in the primaries and drop out of the race.

That does make sense, but is this the first time we've heard of him? I'm not sure who his real life inspiration would be, but I assume his running mate is supposed to be the Susana Martinez of the Veep universe.

-Anyone else get a Biden vibe from Laurie's character? Everyone mentioned how he was incredibly likeable before he was introduced, the way he was glad-handing in the hallway, his insinuated skeleton in the closet, etc.

Dick Pound (Canadian celebrity, but still)

My roommate from my first year in university and I seemed to share a lot of similar interests. I had posters of Bob Dylan and Stephen Colbert on my half of the room, and he had Pink Floyd and The Velvet Underground. We hit it off immediately, had the same circle of friends from our dorm, and even went to an Arcade

For sure. Being Canadian I don't watch it all that often, though from my understanding they still think people want to hear from Mike Milbury and Pierre Maguire. Also, they've somehow convinced themselves and the NHL that having games start during brunch is a good idea.

Idea: since Armando Iannucci now has found success on this side of the pond, and he's finished with Veep (though he's got this Stalin project apparently), he should work with Coogan to bring Alan Partridge to US cable. I thought Alpha Papa was hilarious and demonstrated that the character still has appeal. Logically,

At least ESPN didn't acquire the broadcasting rights to the NHL, then cut off a Conference Championship overtime game in favour of pre-race coverage of the Preakness.

It's been a while since I've read them, but I do remember the series losing some steam around The Slippery Slope. I'd recommend finishing the series, especially with the Netflix series coming.I plan on rereading the books now that I'm old enough to pick up on the literary references.

"Disappointment" is a word which here means "the feeling I experienced when no contestant correctly answered the Lemony Snicket clue."
