Best part of the whole story: Prince has been living in Princeworld for quite some time, now, so periodically, he'll come to us and say things like, "It's three o'clock in the morning in Minnesota, and I really need a camel. Go get it for me."

Chaka REAL mad! Chaka don't want that!
I just listened to the original score the other day at work. It IS still really awesome. Who knew you could get so much mileage out of a vibraphone?
Unfortunate for the NC fans. I was at the second show of the tour, in Miami, and it was one of the most phenomenal gigs I've ever seen, even if the band sort of looks more like the cool English professor you had in college now than the grunge ragamuffins who were in the video for Even Flow.
I made it through 10 tracks of this thing today and thought the title was quite apt.
I've listened to plenty of metal from before 1985, but you're kind of proving my point for me. It's not 1985, and the Grammys disregarded everything that defines the modern version of the genre in favor of giving the award to a Blue Oyster Cult tribute band wearing ridiculous costumes.
Ew. Ghost won Best Metal Performance? They're not even metal. That's not on the same level as "Jethro Tull beats Metallica", but it's pretty damn pathetic.
Sir, I insist that we cheat!
This thing doesn't seem to be working. I just tried "hamburger earmuffs", and it didn't find anything…
I just made the connection that this guy's dad is the TV reporter that John Mulaney made fun of in his new stand-up special for (badly) dressing up as a homeless guy to do "life on the street" exposes and having the homeless people he talked to call him out for who he really was.
Hmm…maybe, but one of the many things I love about this show is its attention to minor details, and if you look closely at the diplomas on the wall of Vernon's office, all of the schools where he got his medical education are the YTW equivalent of Dr. Nick Riviera's alma mater, Hollywood Upstairs Medical College…
I'm really excited to see where Season 3 takes us. Falk's fiancee, who's also the show's makeup supervisor (and the genius who discovered Jimmy's disguise mustache), just had their first kid last month (there's an absolutely adorable photo of Kether Donohue holding the baby on his Instagram page). Between Becca and…
I don't think this exists, but Todd Robert Anderson, who plays Vernon, along with Falk and a third friend, is part of a comedy troupe called The Film Pigs, and they will sometimes record commentary tracks for movies and upload them to their website. It happens a lot less frequently than it used to, for obvious…
I think so, too. Looking back on the season, I've also come to the conclusion that he gave her money because of his financial domination fetish. Watch the relief and satisfaction Vernon gets at having Lindsay take most of the money out of this wallet. With the exception of Arrested Development, I can't think of a…
Falk said in his post-season interview with Alan Sepinwall that he actually did have it in mind to break them up before stepping back, thinking about it, and reconsidering it as an unrealistic choice, just because so many shows use a single fight as the cause of a breakup. I think he also really loves Collette Wolf as…
That was actually the show's script supervisor. Falk had it as a last-minute idea, grabbed her and threw her on set for the last take of the scene that they shot.
I have to believe that line was a gift from Stephen Falk to his longtime friend Todd Robert Anderson (they've known each other and worked together since attending acting school at NYU), who plays Vernon, and, if you've ever watched their comedy troupe The Film Pigs' old vlogs, their web show on GeekNation, or ever…
I'm going to have to say that this storyline has really not done it for me and is sapping a lot of what drew me to YTW in the first place right out. I still love the show, so hear me out, here: Stephen is one of the best writer's voices on TV right now, and I'm thrilled that FX Networks gave him the freedom to tell…
Falk says we'll have a pretty good idea of what's going on by next week and it'll be out in the open by episode 7.
I read a lot of his stuff back then, which is half the reason I'm such a big fan of YTW—his writing's been awesome for a very long time. He mostly did the reality shows of the day. My personal favorites of his were Nick & Jessica: Newlyweds, where he created a minor mainstream media stir by theorizing that Jessica…
