Sorry . . . 

Two of the most odious tendencies for SNL:

Dismukes was especially spectacular here.  I got a real I Think You Should Leave vibe from this escalating nonsense.

What’s wrong with the cabinet that it isn’t fine?  You an expert on the current condition of that cabinet?

They broke up, but they’re still good friends

Same with Hamm.

Never noticed how alike some of Wiig’s and Gartners characters are.

My Mom isn’t that way with most movies but it been two decades and she still thinks she doesn’t understand the Matrix.  The irony is the first time she watched it she turned to me and said “I don’t get it, is he suppose to be cyber Jesus or something”. Which of course meant she got it better then most people I know…

“there’s no Gilly”

I like how Gizmodo still has “You Might Like” links to AVC articles.

I hope this is true as that is a great story--every family has one, don’t they?

Jumanji’d started slow, but then it turned into how talking about boardgame rules always go. And I laughed a lot.

Useless fact! YouTube served me up Wiig guesting on Conan O’Brien’s podcast, and she says that Aunt Linda was based on someone she saw on an airplane who watched The Matrix and kept making “Whaaaa?” sounds.

“Don’t make me sing.”

Gotta say it was a great call NOT to bring back those characters that I think many of us long-timers are still pretty sick of (though it was a smart call of Target to throw an ad in last night) as I was genuinely dreading the return of most of them. The movie-reviewing Aunt was just enough.

Can’t believe Short isn’t a 5-timer.

Do Hey Dude or Salute Your Shorts cast members make any appearances? I enjoyed those shows.

My issue with the doc is a common problem I see with these HBO Documentary “series”. They have enough material for a real tight and interesting 2 hour documentary but then decide to pad it and “shocking cliff hangers” and such to turn it into 4 episodes of content. I binged it so maybe I noticed it a bit more but…

I, sir, am not a dog. But if I were, I would bite you thusly!

While the doc overall has worthy goals, I do wonder why you’d even bother steering an interview with him in this direction since, as has been pointed out, it has nothing to do with the shows he was on and generally concerns a phase of the network that was after his time there.
