I'm black, I went to an Ivy League school in the late 80s/early 90s, and most black folk there loved the Native Tongue groups.

Well, for a lot of SNL alums, if they haven't burned bridges or voluntarily shunned the show, cameos are always a possibility in their post-show careers… if the writers want to do another Totino's ad they'll do another Totino's ad, and bring Bayer back for it.

Well you're underselling her a little bit… when Friends started a lot of us already knew her by name because (in addition to the Springsteen video) she had been a regular for a season on Family Ties as Alex's girlfriend in the late 80's… and she had some buzz from earlier in '94 because of her big part in Ace…

There was an episode of The Larry Sanders Show where guests getting bumped for time was part of the plot.

The bittersweet mix of appreciation and regret that he feels every time he re-reads Proust, as his admiration for Remembrance of Things Past is clouded by his conflicted memories of his Semester Abroad in Paris, and the torrid affair he had with an older, married patissier while he was there.

Parker Posey would have starred in an independent movie about the whirlwind 24 hours of a Price Waterhouse Coopers publicist following the Oscars ceremony.

Persia, I'm returning to 2014 from the future with important news… in 2017, Ryan Reynolds IS a movie star, bigger than he ever was in your time.

Andy, a little discretion please.

At least I can spell 3-letter words, sweetheart.

Correction: Those shows are great, John Oliver rules, and YOU suck.

Okay, maybe so (as I said I haven't watched the VMAs), but that wouldn't surprise me that much. For me, award-show humor is almost by definition somewhat mediocre. Quite rarely has a joke on any awards show made me literally LOL… so if Key & Peele didn't knock it out of the park last night, I'll see that as pretty…

I loved Key & Peele's show (haven't watched the VMAs yet), so if they're an acquired taste, I most certainly have acquired it.

You must be young.

It depends on what part of the country you're from… Blockbuster wasn't somewhere I would have ever gone to in New York in 2001.

And Sammy Davis Jr. divorced his first wife (who was black) and then married a white woman for his second wife, but his third and final wife (the last 20 years of his life) was black.

Nope… Barry Bonds divorced his first wife (who was white) in 1994, and married his second wife (who is black) in 1999.

In addition to my repugnance for much of what Farrakhan believes, I just see all of the wasted potential. The man is quite bright, and on more than one occasion I've seen him engage in debate with other bright people, people who I largely agree with, and they can barely lay a glove on him.

Whenever some ignorant person refers to Buckley as a positive example of the GOP before it lost all of its "class," I tell them about his ardent opposition to the civil-rights movement, up to and including his justification of violent suppression of it by both law enforcement and civilians.

I won't apologize, because I'm not impressed by Internet Tough Guys who huff and puff about how others "better watch" what words they throw around… uh, they better do that, or… what?

How about a racist asshole like yourself?
