Remember when the characters on Arrested Development spent an entire episode on the Atkins diet?

That hair…and that chin…

"Fucking FINALLY! We don't have to take the monthly gibe Leno throws at us to prove he's no company man."

You'd have more respect for Horatio Sanz if you'd seen his work on Boat Trip.

@avclub-d71760750778a95386b703f5c9e474f0:disqus So there are thousands of dead Lenos in a warehouse somewhere?

I'm assuming you meant "put together" in there, because as written it's kind of a tautology. Jimmy Fallon is indeed much better than two antagonistic people being together awkwardly.

Not the last vestige. Musicals are here to stay.

Perfect.

Funny thing. At Easter dinner, both of my parents, my brother and his fiancee all raved about MacFarlane's Oscar hosting gig. All of them loved it, thought it was the best one in years.

So you're saying that Fresh Prince of Bel Air is a self-conscious metacommentary on the limited opportunities of black actors in Hollywood? That Will Smith has way more depth than I thought.

It's pretty clear from those books that Leno has nothing in his life except for writing and performing jokes and tinkering with cars. It's no surprise that he took his chance to take back the reins, and it would be shocking if he were to simply retire to his cars and his "wife" that he only married for insurance…

I think he's fine. Just like how I think Linda Hamilton was fine after she divorced James Cameron. $50 mil tends to do that to people.

I think they've made up a little bit since their Super Bowl ad together a few years back.

Not surprising. Leno just seems depressed these days. He's put on even more weight, now his chin doesn't even stick out because of how full his face is. Funny fat guy is a proven comedic type, sad fat guy is presumably the viewer, and he don't want to see himself up there.

That headline is just so darn poignant.

That would have been pretty cool, actually. In fact, you could turn almost any of Scorsese's great movies into a series because the worlds he puts them in are so alluring, and often there's not much in the way of a plot to handcuff a potential remake. Probably the only great Scorsese movie that wouldn't make a good…

Eh. I respect that Scorsese is still out there trying to get it done creatively. But Gangs of New York was pretty much the point where I think his assuredness wore off. You can almost see it as you watch the movie—it starts out strong and vividly, before becoming a tangled, convoluted mess of confused politics and…

God, how awful it was to watch movies on television! Arbitrary cuts, frequent tension-destroying commercial breaks, unbelievably bloated running times because of those commercials. "Hey, son, some on in here and watch Major Payne!" "No, Dad, I have five hours worth of homework to do." "Okay, have it your way. Blankman…

On the other hand, old people are really, really good if you have an inquiry about the weather. Also road closings. Without fail, old people always want to know which route I'm taking when I leave, and if a road is closed, they'll let me know.

Clearly you have never heard his cover of the VU's "Heroin"
