We’re on the interesting side of 60, goddammit. We deserve some nostalgia-porn.

That’ll be when Dante and Randal retire and Dante’s kid sells the Quick Stop to Amazon Go.

Know what though? I’ll take it. Kevin Smith still makes movies for Gen X when everyone else has forgotten that we’re still here.

I hate that goddamn fucking song with every fiber of my being. I hated that goddamn fucking song with every fiber of my being in the 90s.

Correction: Dante and Randall aren’t just still working at the Quick Stop — they own that shit now.

Or it’s almost like the industry just isn’t interested in new writers over age 50 of any race or gender. So if you have any dreams of scoring your first publishing contract in middle age, you may as well forget about it.

But every single one of those people had established careers and had been working in Hollywood for decades. It’s not like they just got off the bus in Los Angeles at age 50 with nothing but a screenplay and a dream. What Patterson meant is that you don’t meet many 52-year-old white males who are brand-new writers looki…

You don’t meet any of the big-money in charge folks in Hollywood who are white men in their 50s? REALLY DUDE?

15 white males over the age of 50 had No. 1 NYT fiction bestsellers in 2021

The Emmys can just go ahead and engrave Bill Hader’s Outstanding Directing award right now.

6. So is that it for Katie? She picked up right away that Barry was bad news, but that just fell by the wayside when Sally lost her show. I was sure she’d play a key role in Barry’s downfall.

Pete Davidson did a Lorne Michaels tribute video that got cut for time.

So does anyone have a wish list for new players next season? My pick would be Charlie Berens. He already has a fully formed Midwest character, writing chops as a standup comic, and his YT/Tik Tok videos are just as good as any SNL Digital Short. It also doesn’t hurt that he is very easy on the eyes.

Yes.

I thought the goodbyes were self-important and a bit much. Breakout stars of the 70s-00s like Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy, Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler, etc., just left SNL unceremoniously when it was their time to move on.

SNL gets a modicum of humor out of a ridiculously pressurized workplace. The execution always has sloppy moments due to exhaustion, I presume.

Did the show run long? It went to commercial as usual after the 10-to-one sketch and then right on to the next program. No good night and end credits.

Continuing Barry’s penchant for supercool end-credit music: “Davey Crockett,” a 1992 garage-rock swinger by Thee Headcoatees, formed by Billy Childish.

Jake Gyllenhaal can really sing. Had no idea. Put him in a musical.

Don't hate Fallon for failing upward. Hate the system that allowed him to fail upward. Hate the game, not the player.
