The timing is off, though he’s toured basically forever, he wasn’t really a national figure until 2008/2009 (but then an SNL sketch isn’t really the place to nitpick anachronisms). NYT did a profile of him then and noted,

He’s gone that alt-right direction but it wasn’t always so. I attended a conference in the early 2000s (around 2006/7) before he became big where Jeff was the post-dinner entertainment. He was pretty funny, I don’t recall him using any questionable puppets, and his act was, for the most part, apolitical- he may have…

As to the conclusion about “cancel culture” not ridding of of anyone worthwhile, screw Jeff Dunham and his racist-ass puppets.

Jost slowly getting Che to read off a Blue Lives Matter piece was probably the funniest thing he’s done in these joke swaps.

Nothing makes me consistently laugh harder on this show than the Che/Jost joke swap. Che was especially brutal going after Jost this year to the point where I thought Jost wasn’t going to be able to make it thru that last Black Superman joke. I loved every second of it.

Cecily Strong’s “My Way” absolutely felt like an exit moment.

The annual joke swap was the duo’s main focus tonight, though, as each (according to them, and I choose to believe) read out jokes written by the other which the reader has never seen.

Lime skittles were moved to the Tropical pack.

I don’t know if it’s the reason, but there was a lime shortage in 2014 when the weather reduced the size of the crop, and then the drug cartels started extorting lime exporters.

I wouldn’t mind an all grape bag. Skittles pls

The “round” egg referenced by MP3|GOD is a round disk of cooked egg made from pouring freshly whisked eggs into a metal ring mold placed directly on the griddle

Its so much easier to appropriate a terrible person's art after they are dead.  

See, for me (and many others), the seltzers are the LEAST hangover-inducing since they’re essentially alcohol+water; one step up from the minimalist-platonic ideal of a vodka soda.

I fry eggs in olive oil and spoon the hot oil on top instead of flipping it. This lets the white around the yolk to cook but the yolk stays soft. Whenever I used to flip it, the yolk would always break. One day I noticed my father spooning the oil and I’ve never gone back. Some salt & pepper and that’s it.

I spent too much time yesterday listing bland English and Australian actors I hate, so let’s follow it up with an American version by talking about Josh Duhamel, I guess.

I mean, I think there are plenty of men who could do that, but those are the same men who would also not ask that of a women in a workplace setting when they are the boss.

I dunno, I thought it was pretty fun.

When he’s dead, just throw him in the trash!

I do hope Johnson actually does what someone suggested. Make Benoit change his accent and no one notices or calls him out on it. Johnson loved the idea and said maybe Benoit would have a totally different accent in every movie.
