I could go the rest of my life without seeing a sketch with the premise of “A co-worker acts inappropriately but only one person sees it”

I don’t watch this show but I have several favorites from the original UK show, “Dragon’s Den.” Here’s one of them.

Perhaps I’m in the minority here, but I actually enjoyed the “Hippo” sketch. Yes, it was nothing but them repeating the same joke over and over— the star basically ruined his life for a movie role while the other actors were mildly inconvenienced— but Woody’s reactions really made it. One of the only times I laughed…

Yeah, it was funny thirty years ago when Tom Hanks got his jacket and they packed a bunch of cameos in, but they’ve really watered down the concept since then. The only person who got less fanfare than this was Will Ferrell, who was shown in the opening wearing his jacket and it was never mentioned again.

The airport in my hometown had one, though sadly without the animatronics. I went there several times-- the food was actually really good.

Agreed. I used to write recaps of Celebrity Apprentice for a website and I swear they would explain what the task was five or six times, sometimes just seconds after it was given to them. 

Oh I remember that it’s on. I just choose to ignore it, because it’s been garbage ever since Aisha Tyler took over as host. Not that it’s her fault, it just reeks of network interference now instead of the carefree “anything can happen” vibe it used to have. 

Was anyone else bothered by the fact that last week SNL was being championed as an ally for queer performers because Sam Smith wore a dress, and this week an entire sketch centered around a a man wearing a dress?

Yeah, the technical issues used to be a sporadic at best problem-- which, I get it, accidents happen, especially on live TV. But the last few seasons they’ve been happening more and more. Maybe the director is losing his touch or something but it’s just cringe-worthy at this point.

I remember George HW Bush doing a recorded bit once, though I can’t remember for sure if he was president at the time or if it was shortly after.

I’ve never seen a good adaptation of that made yet. The book is about a perfect a mystery as you can possibly get, and it just doesn’t translate to film. Even when Christie adapted it into a play herself, it didn’t work.

I think they were referring to the earlier moments of E.T.— if I thought there was an intruder in my garden shed, the first thing I’d do would be to call the police, not try to make friends with it.

“He’s got an offer they can’t refuse... a WACKY offer! The Sopranos, this fall on HBO! Don’t you dare fuggedaboutit!”

Looking at the send-offs/goodbyes that Aidy, Kate, Pete, and now Cecily got, I really have to wonder again who Kyle Mooney pissed off.

Dismukes had the one line as Spider Man in the Hello Kitty sketch and that was it for him.

There was another Update bit she did that was three segments like that rolled into one (one was the Little Rascals, I forget the other two).

To paraphrase The Simposns, “But why now? Why not ten years ago?”

Maybe the line was inside of us all along.

I visited London back in 1999 and made a visit to the Comedy Store for a night of improv, and three of the six performers I knew from Whose Line-- Tony Slattery, Richard Vranch, and Jim Sweeney (I think? The taller one of Sweeney & Steen, anyway). It was hysterical, I was wiping away tears all night, until the…
