Strip's where I'm landin…cept the word is "crash".

I try not to be a scumbag guy, but T.R.A.C.Y. viewed from the back was a true thing of beauty. I'm happy just thinking about it.

Anyone thinking she's a comedy genius should watch just her bits from her last season on the show - tired character after tired character. Can anyone name a character of hers they'd actually want to see again?

The problem with Update seems to be that it's now treated as "lame hacky late night monologue" time. There's no character to either host, no "bits", and no interaction really.

I'm rewatching SNL and am just up to 1999. I'm already starting to dread Wiig's first appearance.

I sort of tolerated her on SNL, but everything since then has been awful. She clearly thinks she's the funniest person in any room she's in.

Watching his old episodes really makes you appreciate how much his myth has been built up. Often appallingly sexist material, lots of his stuff would get no laughs at all when it was clearly supposed to…he was great when he wanted to be, but for his last season plus on the show he did not want to be.

The grand sendoff is a relatively recent thing though, right? Maybe they've decided, with the grandly sent off trio last year coming back fairly regularly this year, that doing big goodbyes to people you're probably going to see again inside 6 months is sort of a bad idea.

I think I said the same above, but if Jost stays into next season, and is the sam, then the noise of bad reviews will get too loud even for Lorne to ignore. I can't believe he's ignored it up to now, to be honest.

I kind of have a feeling Whelan will stay, perhaps only if one of the main cast leaves unexpectedly. When can we expect news on that, by the way? Anyone know when it's normally announced?

Completely agree re: women. Listening to fans is usually show-death, but for this one limited thing.

userscripts.org has been down for over a week, but I'd checked there before and couldn't see anything. I was hoping for a bit more specificity, like a title of the script?

I tried to find one but couldn't. Have you got a link?

I am saying it's 100% impossible.

They decided to be friends (he was into her based on her voice), then she disappeared for a season and turned up again slimmer and more interested in Judd Hirsch. I don't remember how that episode finished, but as she never appeared again it doesn't matter.

So, Louie is ripping off storylines from the first season of "Taxi" now, then?

Oh, absolutely, I was just aiming for gender balance. Even adding those two you mentioned brings it to a strong comedy core of 6. The cast was just too big this season.

That was maybe the weakest episode since Elton John. Just bomb after bomb, with the only decent sketches being the Mothers Day game show and Drunk Uncle (even though he wasn't as funny as he used to be). I'm surprised it got a grade as high as C+, to be honest. Charlize Theron seemed game for anything but the writing…

Harry Caray also called Colin Quinn "Norm" during his first appearance.

I think they've shown that they're really on the same wavelength a lot this season - sharing jokes, supporting, gentle bickering like any long-term couple will have. A definite thumbs up for that section of the show from me.
