“oh and in the late 1990s he became a drug dealer.”

I was hung up on this too! But the actual test stick she looks at is a ClearBlue pregnancy test (which doesn’t match the brand of the box) with a positive result, so I think it was just a prop error with the box.

I would have thought he’d run off to Mar-a-Lago and never come back once the writing was on the wall. Maybe fire off the occasional half-hearted “I WON” tweet between holes while secretly feeling relief.

It must have been a prop mistake, because were home ovulation kits even really a thing until about 7 or 8 years ago?

Well, Masie my orange cat sneaked out the other night! The city cat who’s never been outside got out on the balcony, tiptoed over our balcony railing, and showed up in someone else’s living room. For context, I just moved from the US to Panama about a week ago. That’s one way to meet the neighbors, I suppose, albeit a…

Forrest Gump is Keyser Söze.

Seth’s the only late-night show I watch (clips of on youtube the next day) regularly. His Closer Look bits are really good, and have been for a long time. Also Amber Ruffin (who has her own show now but I think is still a writer for Seth?) is great. And there hasn’t been a new one since the pandemic, but the Day…

The further away we are from his bout of Coronavirus, the less convinced I am that he actually had it. Considering his age and supposed co-morbidities, he should have been on a ventilator, even with the special cocktail made just for him.

The word that applies here is autogolpe—literally, “self-coup,” from Spanish. It’s when a country’s leader comes to power through legitimate means but then attempts to retain that power through illegitimate ones. The word was originally associated with Latin American dictatorships. Getting the military to back you…

Good thing he hasn’t been replacing Pentagon leaders. Oh...

For my money, Meyers’ show has been the most consistently funny over the past four years. He more than any of the others has struck a balance between lampooning this administration and using comedy to drive home just how dire the circumstances are. The format may be old, but it can still be done really well, and I…

And The Thorn Birds. Or The Worn Words. Or The Torn Girds.

The irony is that if Trump put half the effort he put into actually trying to pull off this out in the open coup, he’d have probably gotten a lid on COVID-19 and legit won his own reelection.

Well, there’s a reason for that. It’’s really fucking hard to be consistently funny five nights a week in new and interesting ways. So of course late night writers have to find something that works for them and just milk the ever-loving shit out of it.

“This is gonna close a lot of doors for John Mulaney”

STREET SMARTS!

I like Seth’s ‘A Closer Look’ segment but the rest of the show needs a shot in the arm. John Mulaney is a genius as far as I'm concerned, I'm very excited to see how this affects Late Night.

John Mulaney needs the money, so that if someone tries to rob him he can throw the money, then run away while the robber is picking it up.

I never watched him before this year, not even in SNL, but his take on this disaster of a president is by far the best to me. 12 minutes of daily joy on YouTube, with occasional bees or Sea Captains
