I did not realize that “Penn & Teller: Fool Us” had started a new season until over the weekend, and so I had to catch up on the first two episodes using the CW app. It’s interesting — they are still in P&T’s Las Vegas theatre, but they have a huge video wall of virtual audience members. Some of the magicians are…

Well, Jay and Dave appeared together in a Super Bowl ad once, so anything’s possible.

Does he find a French headmaster at the bottom of any of them?

I enjoy making my own yogurt and buttermilk; I’m going to try making kefir one of these days, but I’m not sure I’m up to caring for the kefir grains (it’s kind of like having a sourdough starter). I’ve never actually tried kefir.

Lately, some MST3K episode where they made fun of *just this exchange* has been popping up frequently, either on the PlutoTV or Shout! Factory TV MST3K channels. I forget which episode it is, but it makes me chuckle every time.

That’s what *she* said.

Julia Claiborne Johnson is from my small, rural town in Tennessee, even though she long since moved to California (her husband, Chris Marcil, is a TV comedy writer). In my old newspaper job, I interviewed her several years ago for a local-gal-makes-good story about her wonderful debut novel, “Be Frank With Me.” Her…

Cool! Thanks!

He was a great Bob Cratchit in the George C. Scott version of “A Christmas Carol.”

I do! Thanks!

I love “The Man Who Came To Dinner,” and as a community theatre ham it’s a dream of mine to play Sheridan Whiteside some day. The movie version is the best, but I also recommend the video of the Broadway revival with Nathan Lane and Jean Smart.

It really is wonderful.

Now I just want Peacock (or somebody) to pick up that murder mystery parody that Paula Pell did for Quibi, so that I can see it.

In the interview, there was some mention made of “following the election results.” I was actually in Africa — Sierra Leone — for the 2016 election. I was staying in what I assume were rougher conditions than Jay Pharaoh had in Mauritius, and didn’t have a TV. But what I remember is it all happened while I was asleep.…

If I recall correctly, it has no meaning whatsoever.
