Hot take.

So kind of like Miskel Spillman who won “Anyone Can Host SNL”?

Honestly, like half the Ted Lasso cast could show up to host and it’d be great, but Hannah Waddingham is my first thought as someone who would be game for pretty much everything and open up a lot of possibilities for interesting sketches.

Plus it’s part and parcel of being based on the kind of story they tell

Iron Man III is basically a buddy cop flick.

yeah i mean, comic books are also like that. that’s the point!

would just like to take this moment to reflect on how widely and completely hated andy samberg was when this show premiered, and how through 8 years he appeared to charm pretty much everyone. excited to see where he lands next.

I choose to believe year-from-now Peralta has taken a lucrative, low-effort side gig as a Hollywood consultant, and has met Bruce Willis at last.

I’ve said before that, if you were to reboot Police Squad/The Naked Gun, the only reason Andre Braugher wouldn’t be a perfect casting choice for Frank Drebin is because B99 already let him do exactly the pivot to comedy that made for Leslie Nielsen’s best work.

I was a huge Homicide Life on the Street fan even though at first I had to sneak up to watch such inappropriate material on a school night.

If ever such a thing was on a table somewhere, someone must have realized that while Craig Robinson is a gift and a treasure, the character of Doug Judy only works because of the chemistry with Jake.

The balloon arch at Wunch’s grave made me snort seltzer through my nose.

I know you are joking, but I think you sort of have their defense. Given that there was no real Beth, the creators have already established that it’s a work of total fiction. Virtually any interaction she has with the “real” chess world is by definition fictional which gives them virtually limitless latitude. I think.…

Ah yes, the NCU multiverse. 

Maybe she should be paying for famation instead of suing for defamation, since I doubt many people outside of the chess world had ever heard of her until that very moment.

Yeah, he made a dumb joke in poor taste and has apologized for it repeatedly - I suspect a lot of the outrage over the joke is also not really genuine but rather more like the James Gunn “cancellation” where it was people pretending to be offended by a bad joke to “own a lib.”

“I’m just shocked that people keep digging it up, even today.”

Fun fact: The previous exec producers of Jeopardy, Harry Friedman and Steven Mosko, had established a plan almost a decade ago for bringing in a new host with ease and dignity once Alex’s time came. Mosko actually kept a short list of potential candidates by his phone (this began after Trebek suffered a heart…
