Pete on “Ghosts” has a lot of good ones too. My current favorite is “Great grape juice!”

The sketch had actually been in the hopper for almost five years, Gardner revealed”

This is how I view the show these days when there’s corpsing most of the time-- when Ryan Gosling was chuckling in literally every single live sketch he was in, I wasn’t laughing with him at all.  (Now Gardner breaking? That was goddamned delightful)

I hate when the show does that: they pack an episode with celebrity cameos and/or cast member corpsing, both of which they encourage the audience to cheer wildly for thus taking time, and then they’re surprised when the show is running behind and they have to cut something. They showed the band vamping two weeks in a

I agree, every one of those sketches just boiled down to “new terms for female genitalia.” This episode reads like no one had a good idea for a cold open, so they threw something together that they remembered made Gosling laugh and ran with it.

She also appeared in the monologue alongside Jude Law and spoke just fine then too. (She also sang with some of the cast but that could have been lip synced as well so I won’t count it)

“Whitecaps” was fine but I wouldn’t put it at number one. |Funhouse” has always been a favorite of mine, Gandolfini’s performance that whole season in regards to Pussy was just mesmerizing, and that episode put the cherry on top. Really all of the “dream” episodes worked just beautifully, probably because they go

I love that one as well. Since SNL has gotten more predictable over the years I was expecting it t go off the rails, but I was still surprised by one weird reveal after another.

I mean if it were that easy to do then every single person who stepped in after he died would have just knocked it out of the park, don’t you think? I’ve been hosting local pub trivia nights for five years now and even that’s way harder than people think, so I can’t even imagine what hosting a show like Jeopardy must

I don’t know, I’ve never seen Cats and yet somehow I know it’s terrible... call it gut instinct?

His bits on Carson were always fantastic; my favorite is his Home Comedy Kit where he uses food to do impressions. It’s one of those clips I’ve seen a hundred times and I still crack up every time.

According to the book “Come And Knock On Our Door,” the issue wasn’t her standing up for herself--she was holding up production by no-showing constantly (the writers were reduced to writing two scripts, and which one they used depended on whether she showed up or not) and basically being horrible to nearly everyone.

Absolutely agree. I love the UK show because he seems to go out of his way to teach the owners how to cook and maintain the place properly, and the show gives him all the time to do it. Then in the move to the US they give it the standard “reality TV” coat of paint— amp up the disgusting food shots and the gross

I used to own a book of Playboy’s best articles, interviews and reviews (and okay, a few cartoons). I know it’s a joke to say I read the articles, but I speak the truth. 

If it was retooled as a standalone movie rather than having to live up to the Grease name, it could have worked. As a sequel to one of the most successful movie musicals since “Singin’ in the Rain,” it’s crap.

It has two funny lines—I’ve always enjoyed this exchange, between Mason and Stack:

Anything she’s done since the first Wedding hasn’t been any good-- I suspect that’s why she went back to the well.

But she knew how to sign her name, so SOME form of writing must exist for sea creatures.

When I used to watch DWTS Len was probably one of the major highlights for me. The other judges seemed like they were only after the audience support most of the time and would try to be either overflowing with praise or as exuberant as possible in order to elicit cheers. Meanwhile Len would be up front and honest

Didn’t Andy Kaufman do something similar in Man on the Moon?
