I don’t understand the Grammy’s loyalty to U2. Like who’s asking for this band to perform this year, when some newer, younger bands would have benefited from a full performance over their tired droll year after year. Honestly nothing against U2 but they are taking up oxygen and is such a tired part of this show. Grammy…

Fuck, there’s a heading that stopped my heart for a second.

I think it’s just bad reporting. I was misled myself.

HOLY FUCK, THIS GUY JUST SIGNED AS A BUDWEISER SPOKESPERSON?!?!?

So is this some kind of Romaning the Stone type thing? cuz it feels like they just redid that recently with Sandra Bullock & Channing Tatum

Call me old fashioned, but I remember when they used to hire famous and/or talented people to host SNL.

Don’t be so quick to call it a bomb; industry analysts are predicting Argylle will bring in $193.5 million on Saturday.

Look, just tell us if this series ends in a seven-way shootout in an abandoned cheese factory, completely with jump-cut tooling-up montage beforehand.

Pretty sure there were a number of Jack the Ripper books as well.  But I’d perhaps say ICB mainstreamed the genre.  It’s definitely the only one I read for a class in high school.  

Not a mention of Dua Lipa’s performance?

From only the trailers: The “Real Agent Argyle” is the cat, right?

Idk if it's a hot take, but I think Matthew Vaughn is a decent mainstream director who desperately wants to be punk rock, but has nothing to say and no real style of his own. So he just comes off as a cheap Guy Ritchie knockoff.

“overstuffed and exhausting”

TBH I really think Leon/JB saved the show. I don’t think it lasts another couple seasons, much less still being on in 2024, if they don’t revitalize the show with the Leon/Larry dynamic. And credit to Larry for recognizing that they needed something else to keep the show going. I’d say that post-Katrina season with…

The Danny Duberstein entry misses the funniest line of all: “Danny Duberstein is good at two things—that’s math and fuckin’!”

yeah i mean, his whole existence on the show really makes no sense. especially when he just stays after his family leaves. but in a weird way, it makes it even funnier. like he stayed behind with this crotchedy old white dude to be his live in best friend.

I want to punch everyone in the comedy friends group that loves Dave Chapelle and keeps inviting places and promoting is awful work.

So it turns out Lonely Island was doing all the heavy lifting on making Timberlake funny.

I had a weird fondness for Dakota. She lived up to that in the Please Don’t Destroy sketch, but she’s not suited for the live stuff. Her approach to comedy (lol) isn’t served by the show. Worst though was Justin Timberlake’s obvious desperation to be loved again. Like, you could tell on his face that he knows people…

I’m starting to think, and hear me out on this, that a 79-year-old producer might not be the best arbiter of what’s funny.
