Nat Turner's rebellion was in 1831, not 1832. Sorry to be that guy.

Chris Gethard's brother hates improv? Does Wayne Gretzky's brother hate hockey?

A big problem with Seinfeld's finale is that NBC showed a retrospective clip show in the hour before it. After 60 minutes of reminiscence about the Soup Nazi and the marble rye and Mulva a finale with a contrivance to bring them all back just seemed like overkill.

We put on Pippin in high school, and the last words of spoken dialogue are supposed to be Pippin (having settled down for a boring married life) saying "I feel trapped, but happy… not bad for the end of a musical comedy!" The drama teacher felt that the "trapped" part was too depressing and so our Pippin just said "I

It was Stan who said that Don always comes back. And Peggy says that Stan is always right.

The Supreme Court disagrees with you. Scalia would like you to apologize to Coke for denying its humanity.

A bank.

Incidentally, The Carpenters' "We've Only Just Begun" also began life as a song in a commercial.

Do you think there's any jingle today that could be recorded by a pop artist and turned into a hit, à la the Coke ad and The New Seekers? I think Bruce Springsteen could turn the Gillette song into a pretty nice track.

Well, that argument would make sense if the show ended with Don looking around at his surroundings instead of his eyes being closed.

Why don't people think Peggy wrote the ad? In the last shot of her, she's writing something. (For what it's worth Stan is wearing a red shirt and the front of Peggy's dress sort of looks like an upside down bottle)

I expected the twist to be that she would make some kind of misstep that would cause the fanboys to turn on her. Getting a Star Wars detail wrong and being called a fake geek or something, or maybe appearing too excited about some inside Hollywood thing and getting Anne Hathawayed. The cum ending was a little broad

That blood-curdling scream she lets out in The Graduate when Ben says he's going to marry Elaine is perfect. It's terrifying and then it turns out to be a scream of joy.

They certainly do a mean Charleston.

The Da Bears guys without George Wendt?

I agree it was weak sauce, yet bizarrely well-researched. Someone looked up that the Orioles had been playing better after having been swept by the Blue Jays? They used the name of actual sideline reporter Amber Theoharis? They got the exact right shade of green for the seats in the Bobby Moynihan shots?

I've kinda come to realize that Ariel Winter's acting isn't so great, either. She leans pretty hard on the puckered-up face when her character isn't saying anything. I guess it's supposed to play as "genius at work" or something.

Amy Poehler actually did it in reverse. She played Rachel McAdams's mom in Mean Girls. Lizzy Caplan played Rachel McAdams's classmate. Lizzy Caplan and Adam Scott were a couple in Party Down. Then Amy Poehler and Adam Scott were a couple in Parks and Rec.

Look, understand that I'm not trying to be insensitive and I get that people have the right to be called whatever they want. I just find it odd that in the context of a show where the word "rape" was used several dozen times in a sketch, you "cringed" at hearing a word that the interviewee herself didn't seem to mind.

But isn't the idea that the person's gender identity does not match their assigned sex? Sex is not gender, but both seem to be involved in the equation.
