There was a really subtle call back — Dave introduces Bill Murray with an as-close-to-identical-as-possible introduction he did on the first show. Tonight's changes in parenthesis:

Dave also lobbied to get Norm the 12:30 slot, but was overruled by CBS in favor of either Kilborn or Ferguson. I forget which time that was. Might have even been both times.

I thought he was great. I think Hollywood was uncomfortable with the fact that Dave was laughing at them, and not with them. Fuck 'em.

Having been too young for NBC Dave, the first few years of CBS Dave was just as revolutionary to me. Him having most likely defined the apathetic smartassery of the 90's before the decade even started, he was still doing it better than everybody for a lot of it too.

When will this vapid bore go away?

My favorite part of the meltdown wasn't the catch phrases, it was Sheen casually mentioning going on his yacht, turning the lights off, and watching Jaws, like this was a normal thing to do. These were the actions of a mad genius.

I spy some Boyz II Men members (The Not Quite Dwayne Wayne member, and the dude with a cane member).

The Rock N' Jock 25 Point Shot was one thing, but Ruthie in Real World Hawaii took 25 point shots to the next level.

"Ah, fuck," is what I depressingly mutter to myself, every time Philip Seymour Hoffman shows up in a movie on my television now, reminding me not only what I'd like to forget — He's dead — But also, that I will never see him in a new movie again. I'll never see a performance like "Love Liza" for the first time again. …

I think the best tribute to Bruce would be for Metallica to film a documentary about Joe Berlinger, as he auditions new documentary partners.

Lesbian genius named MuffDiver.

Yeezy Death When?

Flop is the most prophetic band name since The Alan Parsons Project actually had a guy named Alan Parsons working on stuff.

Curiously, Adnan has already forgotten about this day.

Portishead, "Glory Box"

Michael Jackson, "The Way You Make Me Feel"

Iggy Pop, "Nightclubbing"

Everybody knows this is leading to a Gilbert Grape sequel with Kevin Smith as an undead Bonnie Grape.

Yeah? BULLSHIT!

"Shakedown, 1989. My swatch watch, can't keep proper time."
