Out of context "My friends call me Eagle or Golden Eagle" sounds like a lot like something Michael Scott might say. (I know this is several minutes late.)

The days when the montage was completed well in advance seem to be over, based on the inclusion of Hoffman and Ramis last year and of Louis Jourdan this year.

I went straight to Latin and Greek and never even thought of French. I spent the thirty seconds trying to figure out if igno-linguistic or pyro-glossal were real English words.

I was very skeptical of the claim that pollsters in 1952 were predicting a victory for Stevenson, and research seems to back me up - pollsters predicted a narrow Eisenhower victory, UNIVAC predicted a landslide, and UNIVAC turned out to be right. The clue had the last two parts right but the first part wrong.

Jon Lovitz does belong in the top 20.

Actually more like the reverse - Homer took over from Bart (although Dan Castellaneta was always top-billed).

I was kind of hoping for "Trouble Me" myself.

I got it, but there really is no English cognate to help the contestants out, so it was an odd clue.

Bill Murray was also left out of the Weekend Update anchor montage, and he co-anchored it for two years. I think some of the Ebersol-era anchors were also omitted. Probably they just cut some of the less-remembered anchors to prevent the montage from dragging on too long (albeit it would have been a difference of…

You get Channel 7? My condolences. (If you never watched it - it has a notoriously sensationalistic and bombastic newscast.)

I was kind of disappointed that there was no new Saturday Night Live the last two weekends. I was wondering how they would handle the Brian Williams scandal and that it might be a peek into the internal climate at NBC.

He did not die until 1994 - I think he was actually briefly involved in the ill-regarded 1985-86 season.

I learned in school that Hudson was marooned but had not thought of that information in a long time. I got hung up on lesser names such as Christopher Newport and Lord de la Warr, but I knew that those would be more like Battle of the Decades level of difficulty.

I have been watching quite a bit of the VH1 Classic marathon, and while there were many terrible sketches, the true comedic low point may have come during a Crystal stand-up in which he tried to pass off "I just learned Paul McCartney was in band before Wings" as an actual remark made by his own daughter. (The cherry…

I have a friend who died and his family apparently had his password and posted updates on his status (before his death) from his account, but they never shut it down. I don't know if they made a conscious choice or simply did not know how.

In reality, her albums are practically the only thing keeping the music industry afloat right now.

I think Pop-Up Video also mentioned that and attributed the claim to Wozniak's father, who apparently was a psychologist.

So really none of them have the music? I remember back in the Comedy Central days the edited versions sometimes had the music cut (just as they sometimes had Weekend Update, the cold open, or even the monologue cut - the cutters clearly did not feel a need to preserve the basic structure of the show), so when I saw a…

No, I defend it as well-written (or at least adequately written). Sorry, Archmage, but "present-day country" is actually meant to be a hint that the country did not exist in c. 1600, rather than the reverse.

But Miller still had the same basic personality, just directed toward different targets.
