This show has mentioned Uber so many times per episode this season that I assume it must be a product placement deal?

Look, it's Mr. Autumn Gentleman!

The great thing about the Spicer sketch was not that it was a woman portraying him, it was that the writing had real teeth for the first time in what seems like forever. I don't think we've had an SNL sketch that completely demolished the person being depicted since Will Ferrell's George W. Bush.

It really sucks that he used a gay slur, but the paparazzi are pieces of shit who provoked him, so it's hard to feel to much sympathy for them.

I agree, but what I want to know is why he can find time to tweet about Nordstrom and SNL and shit but can't be bothered to be like "Guys, I'm saying 'big league'" just to settle that debate.

I read an interview somewhere where one of the producers talked about how he'd just fire people for no discernible reason and they had to scramble to make it seem justified with tricky editing and messing with chronology of when things happened, it could have easily been one of those cases.

True, however I think he was mostly lashing out at his ex-wife, who was basically poisoning his kid against him. Also none of my damn business.

Taran Killam was playing Trump until they unceremoniously fired him and Jay Pharaoh before the start of season 42. Odd move for SNL to fire the house impressionists for both the (then) sitting president and the next.

Only Trump would never agree to do it unless he was somehow also portrayed as a hero.

He also threatened to quit 30 Rock pretty much every offseason for it's entire run, so I think dude just gets squirrely pretty fast.

His doctor is Gene Shalit

I could see it if they did it as an anthology series. I don't know how a direct second season would work. I feel the same way about Stranger Things, but it seems like we're getting another season with all the same characters there, which I'm apprehensive about.

There are a couple episodes of season 4 that are pretty mediocre, but the highs are pretty high. The George Sr episodes are the least essential IMHO, but the George Michael/Maeby episodes are great. The whole overarching "FakeBlock" plot is what makes it worth the price of admission.

He's done yeoman's work before, in School of Rock and that Bad News Bears remake, I feel like a studio might trust him with one of these by-the-numbers fantasy flicks.

The scenes of Harry's parents as mopey teenagers who keep unconvincingly declaring how much they love each other will really be something.

The only heartening thing about A Series of Unfortunate Events being remade as a series so quickly after the theatrical version is that maybe they'll do the same thing for The Hobbit, which would really lend itself better to episodic storytelling rather than giant action sequences.

Remember when it was just part of the print edition of The Onion?

I think the main problem with Elmo as a character is that he's entirely superfluous. Big Bird was already the "personification of kindness" and the yin to Oscar's yang (even being operated and voiced by the same Muppeteer). The main difference is that Big Bird has none of Elmo's most grating features: he doesn't…

Beyond artistic integrity, I'm sure there's also some mercenary aspects at play, where extended editions that require the completion of a bunch of new special effects and/or animation are just not worth the cost.

Like most Oscar categories the award tends to go to whichever film had the *most* of something, rather than the best implementation of that thing. "Best Cinematography" means "most noticeable and/or ostentatious cinematography," same for editing, directing, etc.
