I want them to keep faking you out into thinking Gus is gonna show up, and then he never does.

Not to be too ghoulish, but I feel like Jon Hamm's admission of alcoholism might swing things in his favor finally. Now there's an actual narrative to it, not just "ridiculously handsome guy continues to act good." And they go for narratives for drama awards.

I still love David Cross (and am very excited about the new series he and Odenkirk and the rest of the Mr. Show crew are working on) but only when he's actually trying. And you see that less and less from him these days.

He got his degree years ago and can be a practicing attorney again. His firm just failed and now he works as a teacher. He isn't attending the school anymore.

That's what makes it hurt even more. What Chuck was describing sounds EXACTLY like what a "real lawyer" should be.

It seems so apropos that of their partnership, David Cross got all the acclaim and notice for a full decade, while Bob Odenkirk just kept his head down and did good work. Now he's a huge star, and Cross is coasting on stuff he did in the past and just cashing checks.

Like Trevor? Cause Trevor basically IS him.

I would not be surprised if Nacho ends up calling back in ol' Jimmy to deal with this old fuck Ehrmantraut that keeps running his deals.

Except for pretty much the entire staff, and that the new host is a correspondent, and all those other reasons. You know Jon Stewart doesn't do the entire show himself, right?

Brian Williams isn't actually funny, he's "TV news anchor" funny.

…but they ended up going with a biracial man from South Africa, so I don't see your point.

Trevor Noah is a wonderful choice that I never even considered for a second. I just kept thinking Paul F. Tompkins.

Amy Poehler would've been fantastic, but I can't see CK or Schumer working out. Amy Schumer isn't particularly political, and I imagine half of Louis CK's shows each week just having his head buried in his hands from exhaustion.

That's because all of his appearances have been about shoving your face in crazy depressing shit. Not exactly laugh-out-loud material.

Yes, that's why you see all the furious people about this.

I'm pretty sure I could find you a worse person. Would you prefer Josh Gad hosted?

They constantly say he played football in high school, but we've never seen any real evidence of that. He could've made it up.

The Sopranos ended on a note of optimism! They got onion rings for the whole table! And then I guess my cable went out, I never went back and found out what happens after that.

I'm in the middle of rewatching the show right now, trying to get through all of it again before it comes back, and I'm near the end of season 4. I actually forgot that when Stan starts out he's SUCH an asshole. They really soften him over time.

Good lord, that version of Hardly Getting Over It.
