That's a good observation. The exception that proves the rule might be Jack Nicholson.

This is true of a lot of UK panel shows, including the one that sorta established the modern format, Have I Got News For You. There's some spontaneous stuff, but guests are definitely offered jokes.

We sure have to swallow a lot tho…

10-year-old me is heartbroken - damn I loved that show then. Happy Trails, Apollo.

I would've been sad if that wasn't the first comment. Well done.

The robbers have a fuckoff chaingun which they fire in a slightly indiscriminatory fashion at cops and then a luckless security guard - enter Supes, coming between the latter and a bullet. The robbery's part of a montage where he does a lot of 'classic' Supes stuff, including stopping a stickup at a mom and pop…

Me too. Christ I wish someone would make a good Superman movie.
