It was disrespectful of lousy TV news shows, of which Weekend Update is a spoof. The comedy was at the expense of the pompous (not the disadvantaged), which is why it was funny.

Oh, it's terrible, which makes me feel good about my decision to have ignored it for the past 15 years.

On the Reddit board, Sam said that the first repeat was because he thought he misheard Jon's response himself, and on the second one because he thought Liz was incorrect due to improper phrasing.

The decision to go for the $100K or not depends on how confident you are about the prices of the three remaining items one you reach that level.

At least Foxx was already a TV star, so going back to it doesn't seem like quite as much of a comedown as it otherwise might.

Only Jon had a chance to respond to it and he didn't even offer a real guess.

Heartbeat…oh, you mean Dr. Hearthands!

"Of the individual programs named as a Top Pick, the one selected most frequently was Brooklyn Nine-Nine at 8 times."

Thankfully, none of that bullshit. The show doesn't take itself so seriously.

That Jimmy on BCS has a brilliant, beautiful woman who stands by him no matter what shit he pulls is 100% male fantasy, but until recently I don't know if I would have understood it that way.

Time for an eight-season renewal!

One other issue is that the show is much shorter after commercials than in Bob's heyday, so there just isn't time to do much contestant interaction.

You're guaranteed $10,000 unless you go nuts and throw it away going for the $100K when you have no chance, as happened the last time PTR was played.

And he would only do that if he thought the contestant had won, although on the rare occasion that he teased a contestant who wound up losing, you could see he felt a little bad about it.

"A mess? It’s the opposite, it is so steady, it’s been so even keel and steady. It’s been such an opposite experience…"

The contestants are also miked up nowadays, so you hear every scream at ear-piercing volume.
