in a very real way, that's the most adult take on the character the movies have attempted to date.

This is a thing I hear from people who paid no actual attention to the issues each candidate campaigned on.

His is just about the only late night show that doesn't feel like a children's birthday party. Good, solid comedy segments (and a lot of them), and he's a damn good interviewer, too. I think it's the only late night show worth watching.

I don't have a lot of sympathy for anyone too dumb to realize they're being manipulated into voting against their self-interests over and over again, just to stick it to someone they don't like.

This theory actually infantilizes Trump voters and makes them seem like they're incapable of understanding the consequences of their support. They know Trump isn't going to bring dead industries back and give them a job. They're dumb, but they're not stupid.

And wipe that puss of your face! Walking around with a big puss on….

I always thought it was interesting that Mckean used exactly one Kids In The Hall character on SNL—-He did the Chicken Lady exactly once. I've always wondered what the deal was with that.

Jim Belushi's monologue in the bar is probably one of the top go-to actor audition pieces of the last three decades.

Mckean had a sketch comedy history with a group called The Credibility Gap. That';s where both he and David L. Lander were hired from for Laverne And Shirley, and where Harry Shearer was hired from for Saturday Night Live in 1979.

She's the female Mandy Patinkin!

McKean came on for the last few episodes of the previous season. He was basically brought on to replace Phil Hartman.

Michael Mckean's gay Wolfman made me laugh—"Don't mind me, I'm not even here!"

I'd say the worst is the anal probing UFO sketch from the Deion Sanders episode.

Lorne Michaels has said that in his opinion the 93/94 season was actually worse, and I pretty much agree with him. 94/95 has the benefit of significantly less Rob Schneider.

She was brought in when Janeane Garafalo left, around the same time as Molly Shannon.

In terms of star-power, it's probably one of the strongest seasons they ever had. That doesn't matter if there's no chemistry, though, and the biggest stars are content to coast while still dominating the screen-time.

That season also had probably the worst single episode of the show since the early Dick Ebersol years, The Deion Sanders episode. Watching that you can really understand the need to clean house the next year.

That sort of sounds like the sort of thing you'd see on a short-lived FOX sketch show that thinks it's finally going to be the one to knock off SNL for good.

Jim Breuer was on the show at the same time as Will Ferrell, Norm McDonald and Molly Shannon, and those years were generally considered a return to form after the disastrous 94/95 season.

Okay, how about this—-thinking that it resolves anything is a serious mis-reading of the scene.
