I don’t remember Hader’s appearance on the podcast, but he was reasonably funny on the TV show. Moynihan’s Fourvel was the character guest. And that’s one of my fave CBB characters ever. 

I need this perspective to help me process this long road we have ahead of us. Much like I will need Myers and Oliver.

I was an enthusiastic GenX viewer of In Living Color. So... I’m pretty sure I was exposed to her early days. EDIT: Oh, were you suggesting that I didn’t know Ayo before she appeared on The Bear. Because, yes, I did. Are you familiar with Hollywood Handbook? Or Blank Check? Or Iconography?  

I appreciate Ayo’s goal here. I knew her from comedy podcasts before she blew up, so I wasn’t surprised by the comment. I adore Ayo, and she was not wrong about JLo. Many people in the industry probably feel the same way. I know critics and other commenters have expressed the same exhaustion and bewilderment about…

Whoa, what fascinating articles. I had never noticed the inherent misogyny in criticizing vocabulary that is often used by women. Cool stuff. EDIT: This reads snarky, but I mean it literally. 

Yawn. I’m so fucking sick of hearing any criticism and pontification like this. Even if she’s not complaining about ‘wokeness’ which, frankly, I question, there’s nothing more boring than hearing actors/writers/comedians/directors complaining about how things are different and more difficult for them now. It’s…

I got the year wrong. It’s actually 2011. Trump talk starts at 12:00.

Obama’s last dinner that was hosted by Seth Meyers was the one where both went after Trump, who was in the audience, ruthlessly. 2016.

It didn’t appear in the live airing. 

Dale Dickey, Michael Rappaport, & Mykelti Williamson! This is a Justified-heavy series.

RIP Carl Tart’s OJ impersonation on Comedy Bang Bang. “You take care now”.

Aww, snap! Thank you for linking this, I wish I had known about it earlier.  Seems extra thorny and ‘brave’ considering this article came out in October. 

I dunno. I felt the same thing about Hugh Grant’s character. But considering some of the other missteps this show has made, I’m gonna assume she’s dead. 

Um, you mentioned Agnes twice, but not her dying? What a BS ending for a character that was never really given her time. Such a waste of Andrea Riseborough.

Agreed. It really doesn’t make sense. It looks like that’s just what Todd Phillips wanted to do?

As a massive Lady Gaga fan, I’m in. But I don’t see who else this film would appeal to other than her little Monsters. Phoenix is always good, but is a box office draw? And isn’t everyone sick of The Joker in all forms? I know I am.

Let us all remember/know that Toranaga and Blackthorne are stand-ins for the real Tokugawa and William Adams. Adams was also an English pirate who was competing with the Portugese for trade routes, and was kept from returning to England by Tokugawa. Using Adams known routes of trade and knowledge of building better…

No. Specifically Drake & Josh filmed at Nick on Sunset. It is discussed in great detail. 

Perfect. While reading your comment, I was thinking precisely about The Regime before you name checked it. I’m still gonna watch it for at least one more ep, though, because I adore Kate Winslet and her quirky dialect choice.

Seems so. And both of them are white men from the UK who are using the US to make Statements that they pretend are just statements.
