In a year full of much more prominent celebrity deaths, his didn't get a whole lot of attention.

The presence of Marvin Kaplan raises any show's rating by at least a star for me. So my final rating for On the Air: One Star.

It's not so much "take the show or somebody else will pick it up" as "give me a chance on this show if you want to keep the others." What with all the singing and dancing and one-time specials and A Million Ways to Die in the West, MacFarlane seems more interested in on camera work right now than shepherding cartoons.

He's been practically begging for an on-camera role for years now. Hope he's happy.

Also Babu from Seinfeld in MacFarlane's show.

This is one of several situations where the old Nixon line is literally true: When the president does it, that means it is not illegal.

It got some laughs, but they definitely botched a couple of beats with the Russian nesting dolls. I wondered if Bobby Moynihan threw in that little eyebrow thing on the fly to punch it up. It was starting to die when the audience couldn't see that it was Putin on the doll.

Counterpoint: They revealed it a season too late. Having him get married without ever revealing his first name was absurd.

*Craig T. Nelson prepares lawsuit*

With Norm MacDonald as the voice of his long-lost brother, Turd Furguson.

And Zoey Deschanel has never had short blonde hair.

I read some commentary that seems pretty accurate to me: Donald Trump's displays of wealth are what poor people think it would mean to suddenly become rich. It's not about traveling the world, starting foundations, investing in fine art, or being a respected leader. It's about swimming in gold coins and ordering…

Damn that radio song!

If he weren't too stupid to pick up on the subtext, Trump would be furious at the way Republicans infantilize him. How many of them have publicly begged Trump's friends and family to take away his phone like he's a naughty teenager?

No unfazed! No unfazed!

Except the waitresses on Alice actually came somewhat close to looking broke.

When I think of Kat Dennings, the last thing I think is "flat."

If you liked Ed Helms' community theater digressions on The Office, you'll love his interpretation of Captain Underpants!

And his head looks like a micropenis.
