I actually thought of that, too— you gave it away too quickly!! I know you're excited and all, but sheesh!

Oh my god that show made me want to blind myself with a hot spoon like they did to that kid in Slumdog Millionaire.

Yup, definitely my first thought. Or he's an old lover and they're running into a passionate embrace.

Because all the female parts went to Kristen Wiig for Nasim's first couple of seasons, and she just never recovered. That's my guess, anyway.

All of Kenan's impressions break down thusly:
Morgan Freeman: regular voice + nasally
Steve Harvey: regular voice + "playa"
Charles Barkley: regular voice + pronounce every "e" as a "u"
Al Sharpton: regular voice

I thought it was Claire's reaction that just made that joke. "Phil, honey?" without even looking up… gold.

I must have missed that episode, it doesn't ring a bell at all. Thanks for the info!

Was that a Happy Endings reference? I don't remember it.

Are you new around here? Oswalt could throw his shit against a blank canvas and piss all over it, and the AV Club would call it the finest work of art since the David.

Well, that's… very good, Liebkartoffel. Oh look— I have a ball. Why don't you bounce it?

I also think it helps that MacKinnon hasn't been saddled with a hundred lousy recurring characters that make me want to hurl a brick through my screen. The few she has had (the Russian lady on Update, crazy cat lady from this episode) are very underplayed y as grating as a result.

DJ Qualls, oddly enough.

It always bugged me that it was never explained how that actor Garrity had hired simply vanished in the middle of the road like that. That would be an impressive trick today, let alone in the old West.

Same with the husky bearded guy from Mulaney… gun to my head, really don't think I'd be able to tell you which of the three is which right now.

You'd think it would have happened a lot more often in the last 39 seasons, then. But it hasn't.

I know it's become fashionable to call for the writers/cast/Lorne Michaels to be fired, but I'm going to go a different direction: I think whoever is directing the show these days needs to be shown the door.

I'd put Nasim first, but otherwise you pretty much nailed it.

You people need to get a Life.

I enjoyed that show too. I always held out hope that it would return, until Lenora Crichlow showed up on this show. Then I knew the dream, like the Angles' dream of winning a ball game, was dead.
