You’ve got to wonder if Gilliam (and John Cleese) realize the irony in them becoming exactly the kind of old people that Monty Python mocked all the time.

“an incomplete list of Very Pakistani Things: Yusuf’s love of a bargain”

You are correct, he did one of those autocomplete interviews this week and said he’s been hands off of FG since 2011 when he made Ted.

So funny is subjective, but talent? He is a trained animator who has written and produced (and been show runner) for multiple shows, is a known voice actor who can also do imitations, written and directed several films, is a well regarded singer who has put out many albums and recordings, has several productions…

Actually, News Corp still owns Fox Network. Disney only bought the production studios.

I’m just glad Gilbert lived long enough to tell the world that Bob Saget raped and killed a girl in 1991.

His own voice at Caroline’s at the South Street Seaport in 1987. The first five minutes was simply Gilbert pleading in the least sincere manner possible for the crowd to stop applauding and screaming. 

Norm: “I don’t much care for this God fellow. I mean, how vain does one have to be to name thyself ‘God’?”

Well hello!

I’ve noticed that there's a visible crack and dip in the sidewalk in front of the restaurant that's slowly been getting bigger this season. Pretty neat that they're slowly building up to the sinkhole in the show

This is bogus. Gene Rayburn killed seven people in the summer of 1982 and they still let him host The Match Game Hollywood Squares hour with Jon Bowser Bauman.

Mr. Mayor is actually an NBC broadcast network show, but I don’t think that undermines your point.

Nice writeup on Hustler, which I also enjoyed. It was a fun one to watch in groups so you could argue and make predictions. And I liked how he interacted with the contestants without mocking them.

Match Game was dead in the water long before any of that happened. It was a decent ratings grabber, but once ABC went full hog on game show revivals, Match Game became one of the lowest performers, even for its timeslot. Which is a bit of a shame because it was honestly one of my favorite revivals. It basically kept…

We liked The Hustler, any opportunity to see Craig Ferguson ad lib and make some jokes is fun to see. But I did not enjoy how they felt the need to spend time giving a detailed explanation of the premise every single episode as if it was the pilot.

I’m a Craig Ferguson fan, and I enjoyed The Hustler enough, but I hope this gives him the chance to tackle something with a little more meat.

Man, these guys have really been in the shit, huh?

The headline spoils the gag, dummy.

I feel you. I listened to it yesterday, and Rudd is so good at selling the premise that when it happened, I was angry-laughing.  It sounded like a compelling podcast idea.

If you know something is a lie, that lie hurts people, you spread that lie, and you profit from spreading that lie, that’s fraud. Not sure about Rogan, he may just be a dangerous idiot. But Fucker Carlson knows exactly what he is doing and so do both FOX News and Spotify.
