McKinnon is so good. Her as Deenie shoveling food into her mouth while talking is so much more funny than it deserves to be.

If they have someone singing, "Goodnight But Not Goodbye" every night, I'm there! OK, I won't be there, but it would still be awesome!

The Shitty Beatles. And it's not just a clever name.

I think Robert Christgau put it best in his review for Valotte:

Come on, you know stand-up comics, as a rule, never talk about parenthood.

Answer: Finger lickin' goooooood!

Signing autographs at a How I Met Your Mother convention while wearing a "Victoria should have been the mother" T-shirt?
