Dude, Michael created like a million trolley problems back in that one episode with the trolley problem. He’s got magic powers! This isn’t a new development!

I understand ‘cause plot stuff, but man do I wish Chidi were more involved this season. I’m sure it’ll turn around soon, but it’s not the same with him separated like this.

Heidi Gardner is fine, but I’m not sure her update characters involve “good acting” so much as “a lot of acting”. I’m always much more aware of all the little tics and business she’s using to create the character than I am with, say, Kate or Keenan (whose characters are often just as broad).

The Update jokes once they moved away from Trump were mostly clunky. The Kate-heavy sketches in the second half were all too long, even if they were…

Where is all that money now

I’ll have you know that my forthcoming podcast about the perverted arts has been loudly demanded by the masses!

Insulting Gourley is so important that they reveal on latest episode that they had a stunt Gourley replace him and be insulted recently while Gourley was in Thailand. 

I also love that each episode has 10-30 minutes of him berating Sona and Matt Gourley.

The Bill Hader episode is a classic. 

Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend has reinvigorated my love for Conan, as I stopped following the tv show after the move to TNT, more or less. It’s a consistent delight.
