Roseanne perfected the process of replacing a character 30 years ago. Make a few meta jokes about it then move on. It’s gonna be 100 times weirder to see them use body doubles and creative editing than to just get some other husky 55 year old to step in.

If they swapped the broomsticks for tennis rackets and got an obsolete “Apple” computer they could easily turn this into an Eschaton league.

“​I feel like I’m the super naive one who keeps saying, ‘But what’s the story going to be, what story are we going to tell?’” she continues. “And everyone’s like, ‘Who cares, Ellen? It makes a gazillion dollars.’”

It’s not on Hulu yet without a Showtime subscription... Did you read it’s moving there or something? 

When you were a kid I’m sure your parents felt the same way about all the Bobby Rydell and Paul Anka posters on your walls. Circle of life...

I’ll admit I’m going to hatewatch this like I do Yellowstone and I totally eat up all of Sheridan’s hokey BS about the myth of the west and what it means to be a cowboy and all the garbage, but I feel horrible about myself for it since it goes so much against how I actually think and feel. I think if you grow up in…

This definitely had a “last show before the end of the world” vibe. Like pop culture historians in the year 3000 will say, “they didn’t know it would be the last time SNL ever aired, but... they kind of knew.”

Are you sure their Mexican rice isn’t made from chicken stock?

Is it considered bad form to proofread prayers? Are prayers cancelled if their grammar is corrected? Follow up question, does God think the proofreader is making the prayer and, if so, will they receive what was asked for instead?

Is Scarlet making Colin sleep in Staten Island until this is over?

Yeah it’s like when someone you were friends with in high school and still have in your mind as being someone kind of cool turns out to be a MAGA nut when you see their 2021 Facebook page. I don’t know who this person is and it’s unfathomable the Jay Johnston I loved on Mr. Show would turn into this, but there you go.

Someone from the production had to have had a conversation with Johnston about it before firing him. Maybe he admitted it to them but they’re all keeping quiet?

She had Johnston on her show over 12 years ago and knew him from the 90s alt comedy LA scene. He probably wasn’t the same guy back then, or at least didn’t show it considering he was a key player on Mr. Show too. People do change and sometimes that means they get more screwy as they get older.

At least he’s guaranteed a role in David Zucker’s next spoof on liberals, right next to comedy powerhouse Kevin Sorbo.

Here’s a little tip to help actors who just took a damn job and don’t know how to handle Star Wars nerds asking questions about deep lore: If someone asks if your character is related to some other character vaguely like them, the answer is yes. Always yes. Everyone in Star Wars is always related. 

Maybe but I doubt it. He’s one of those out of sight, out of mind actors and nobody was talking or thinking about him before the premiere. Hiring him for a high-profile guest slot even if it’s to kill the character off isn’t exactly heroic nor does it do them any favors, not like cutting all ties completely.

I doubt Sex in the City would have wanted this association at all. They didn’t kill him off because they thought this news was coming, they wanted to reset Carrie’s single status and having him guest star instead of die or divorce offscreen was a way to get some story and drama out of it.

Donald Trump also just released his favorite music of the year list and it’s a bunch of half-remembered Frank Sinatra songs he heard in the background when dining at crappy steakhouses.

It’s an interesting strategy. My lawyer uses his knowledge of baseball to wow the jury.
