Good catch—I edited him in.

Bare and Day reached #2 with "All American Boy" and "Rockin' Robin," respectively. By the bye, "Rockin' Robin" is one of only two songs to peak at #2 for two artists ("Last Kiss" is the other). #ChartHistoryWithEamon

I tried Guinness when I visited Dublin. The first sip made my stomach lurch; the second caused a wamble so severe I had to abandon the pint. A five-euro lesson learned.

Vee and Vinton were part of the Bobby Boom of the '50s and '60s. The Bobbys who reached #1 and/or #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 pre-1970:

FWIW, "Red Rubber Ball" charted higher than "Rubber Ball" (domestically).

"But Eamon, you haven't tried this kind that tastes like an expensive imported wet fart."

Please do a Gateways to Drinkery on beer that doesn't taste like a wet fart. I'm not convinced it exists.

True. The title of the recent Lonely Island song "Fuck Off" is a major spoiler.

YES PLEASE

Yeah, fuck effort!

I got in trouble on Cracked for leaving this comment on every listicle with a presumptuously second-person headline: "I'm writing a killer listicle called '14 Presumptuously Second-Person Headlines You Haven't Seen.'"

Nope, next week's a rerun. Then Cumberbatch/Solange on 11/5.

Garth Brooks, Louis C.K., David Hyde Pierce…

This sketch does nothing for me, but it's quite possible I'm dead inside. See also "Mokiki" and "Brenda the Waitress."

Good question.

Leslie Jones as herself is recurring af, as the terrible kids say.

My favorite Hanks SNL sketch is "Creativity Test" (S22E1), which is impossible to find online. I'd fain kill my whole family to see it again.

This is only the seventh such streak; there were two in Season 1 and one each in Seasons 33, 34, 35, and 37.

When's the last time the show did four straight weeks of new episodes? Off to Wikipedia…
