I think it was Maggie Simpson.

Maybe she escaped and is living with the retired Sheriff Truman in Hawaii or wherever.

Potatoes ≠ potato chips

One thing I've noticed is that the actors seem to be a lot worse at reverse talking in the Black Lodge than they did in the original show. Part of this is probably due to Michael J. Anderson not returning for… reasons, but Sheryl Lee in particular I remember being a lot more intelligible. Of course there are

Jesus, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos is your go-to comparison for "really spicy"? Have you ever even been in same room as an actual chili pepper?

The season-long case was sprawling and incoherent with a bizarrely convoluted yet snappy resolution
So a basic Raymond Chandler plot then?

Somehow, the actress playing Bunny looks less like a pornstar than Tara Reid.

Trebek, when no one could identify the Rocky Mountain state: "Very impressive."
Trebek, I wouldn't throw shade if I couldn't figure out whether or not $3000 was a big enough bet to cost Mackenzie the game (it was not). Also, what exactly are "age cells"?

Save me, Colmes!

So keep at it & never give up, Wendy! I'm your motorcycle or something!

I think Last Week Tonight is still buying airtime for their Catheter Cowboy.

That Seemed Unnecessarily Hurtful!
They commonly use puns within the clues as hints, and I was pointing out that they misused it in this case, making the clue somewhat misleading. If I thought the clue/response combo was actually flat-out wrong, I would have Objected. Blackened fish can be delicious.

I got it, but it would have been hilarious if my first guess was correct:

What is the War to End All Wars?

It gets a little ridiculous when Jeopardy! shills for shows, products, etc in the clues themselves but the contestants say anything that hints of self-promotion. I'm assuming Kelly had a minor role on Turn.

I thought the pay was mostly in recruiting other people to join up. These multi-level marketing deals are just barely this side of a Ponzi scheme.
