Kinda Britta’d that one, if you ask me.

Glad I’m not the only one forcibly trying to revert my life to 2019 after a series of failed personal ventures in the wake of the pandemic. But if we’re on the same path, they’ll quickly find that the feeling’s just not there anymore, and the good times are gone for good.

Christmas in July is real!

Maya Rudolph interview predictably derailed because she can’t stop talking about how much she loves Beyoncé

Yeah, it’s easy to make fun of Jost for his...Jostiness, and he and Che were pretty rough early in their tenure. But they’ve become genuinely quite good, and the joke swap is a really inspired bit — Che’s genuine terror when Jost made him read jokes mocking Kendrick Lamar was sublime, for example.

Which is funny, ‘cause they’ve done the “fake newsman” thing off and on. Curtin and Murray certainly did things that way, but Chase didn’t. Miller was loose as hell, but Kevin Nealon was so deadpan it hurt.

I really do think Norm MacDonald blew Update wide open and showed what was possible with the format.

Actually, biannual is twice a year. Which is also semi-annual. You’re thinking of biennial.

You know you’re going to get some decent laughs out of WE every time out, and the joke swap tradition is routinely the best part of each season. So yeah, I’m onboard.

I also think the hosts who are primarily or exclusively writers on the show, not cast members (Jost, Che, Meyers, Fey) generally works better. It’s a nice change of pace to have people who seem like they are actually talking to you normally, not playing a “newsman” character.

Update is the one part of SNL where you can kind of be a little loose. Fey, Fallon, Poehler, Meyers, they all embraced that. One of my favorite Update moments was after the 2020 election. Everyone was on the high of Trump being gone. Che had his tie undone and he was sipping a Negroni on-camera.

For what it’s worth, I think Jost and Che are pretty good. They have good chemistry together, which helps.

If he never left, we would never get Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, so he made the right choice

For the same reasons why a Palestinian superhero would be a problem too if you had bother to read, understand, and comprehend what I said instead of resorting to the usual mindless knee-jerk reactionary “AnTiSeMiTe!” nonsense.

“Because if it is just Sabra existing”

Fun fact: They considered having Rhodes be VP after the five year time jump in Endgame.

There was a bunch of presidenty stuff in Secret Invasion, but nobody watched that because it was terrible.

No sane person has a problem with Israel’s right to exist. Most of us just have a problem with Israel’s opinion that Palestine shouldn’t exist

Yeah, Thunderbolt Ross is defined by his mustache, the only reason Sam Elliott was cast in the Ang Lee Hulk was his glorious, glorious mustache.

What a comment. lol He’s Harvard educated, overcame a major childhood speech impediment, married to Scarlett Johansson, and has been in a pretty plum, high-profile gig for over 0 years. But he’s “bland looking” so therefore deserving of ridicule for the face he was literally born with and can’t do anything about.

I agreed right up until I found out that “Hattie Davis” doesn’t exist. Che hiring an actor to up the pressure on Jost is a pretty amazing bit.
