Yeah, in the early 90's I think? Either right before or right after she was doing Life Goes On.
I need to reread her memoir.

I saw an early preview. Honestly, I would put most of the blame on David Mamet for writing a boring fucking play. It had no clear message or sense of purpose. I mostly went because I love Patti LuPone and was excited to see her in a Mamet play. She at least tried to find meaning and inflection in her character. Winger…

Mr. Tanner or bust.

I will never waste an opportunity to say that I spent fifty dollars to see The Anarchist and Debra Winger was terrible in it.

Rhyming Couplets and Pretentious Hotel are two IAS sketches I could watch on a loop. They make me laugh every time.

Emily Mortimer wouldn't have sent that email to everyone if she had an iPhone (or a penis).
Seriously, fuck The Newsroom.

Chaperone isn't a word according to spellcheck, either.
Not related to the article, just pointing it out.

I saw Darlene Love in Hairspray when it was still on Broadway. I remember my dad being especially excited for her, as he was a big fan of Letterman's.

I remember reading his memoir. Such self indulgent crap (I mean most memoirs are, but this was another level).

Anthony Rapp is just the WORST. Such an asshole.

It's the Empire State Building of Olive Gardens!!

And Elaine Stritch! Double sad.

They put Sean Hayes in SMASH but he didn't share a single scene with Messing.

Legally Blonde might be one of the best comedies of the early 2000's.
I wish Witherspoon could achieve those heights again.
This is just BEYOND.

Although, even though HBO Now is modeled after Netflix or whatever where you're paying directly, it's technically still like cable in that Apple (or whomever once that restriction is lifted) gets a cut because you signed up through their platform.
But apparently HBO negotiated a lower cut than Apple normally takes.

They were my Jonathan Groff nudity source, post-Spring Awakening but pre-Looking.
Then Kelsey Grammer had to show up and kill my boner.

which always leads to my favorite censor ever:
*BEEP* damn.
Being the naive child that I was, it took me a long time to figure out that it was goddamn.

Michaela Watkins was also a highlight on The New Adventures of Old Christine (which is highly underrated, IMHO), as JLD doppelganger.

A vodka stinger was the first drink I ordered legally at a bar.

aka Mulaney.
