I'll go further than Talde will about how much he improved his people skills for All-Stars. Fellow All-Star Marcel Vigneron was still a drunk asshole starting stuff on his second go-round, even getting directly in Dale's face at one point. Even the viewers were hoping Dale would knock him out cold, but he stayed in…

That's something the Screen Actors Guild does right - they give a Best Ensemble award.

Nick Offerman. Emmy. Now.

Plus, she insisted on recording the show in order and rarely did retakes, to preserve the "live" feeling. Hence all the breakups that made it to air.

That's rust and avocado, thank you!

Beat me to this — I remember seeing it when I was little, and wanting to find a copy of it ever since. The search continues. There's an IMDb listing at least, to let me know I didn't dream it up.

Just watched the episode. I love Margo Martindale but I've been iffy on the writing of her character so far. However, I heartily endorse Alabama Slammers becoming a thing again. They got me through college. They taste like orange children's aspirin, and they knock you on your ass.

Yup, right in his wheelhouse. Where most other candidates appear in person on news/talk shows whenever asked, he mostly does phone interviews. It takes a certain kind of arrogance to prioritize one's days that way if one is running for president.

Note: McCain's campaign died on the way to its home planet.

I bristled when I saw the F. I understand why it's there, but this crop of GOP candidates love to play the martyr. They would wear the F like a badge of honor from the Librul Mediuh. Indifference hurts them more than hate. Something to think about for the next 12 months.

So Denny's wasn't that crowded this morning?

I think he knew before he got the call from Lorne.

When she wore it on Dancing With The Stars last year, I honestly thought it was a lampshade.

Oliver Stone would disagree with the "self-awareness" part.

McCain hosted in 2002, but he also made an appearance in 2008, THE SATURDAY before Election Day. I think he knew it was a lost cause already, so he allowed for a pretty biting cold open with Tina doing Sarah whispering an aside to the camera, holding up a "Palin 2012" t-shirt.

Plus the extra hour for the weekly trip to Denny's after.

I feel I must quibble over the verb tense regarding his musical Lazarus; it's currently in rehearsals at New York Theatre Workshop (with Michael C. Hall in the role Bowie played on film), so I would say he has written it, not is writing it. Or if you want to stay in the present tense, he's tweaking it.

I'm torn between Christina Aguilera's version of his song "Beautiful" and his own rendition.

His role on Update has narrowed to being the Black Guy who shakes his head and gives Jost side-eye every time he as the White Guy reads something semi-offensive in a story.

I haven't watched it yet. I'm afraid to. The promos look soooo bad.
