He's actually been repeatedly offered several million pounds to be a judge on the X Factor in the UK. He's repeatedly turned it down and slagged the whole concept.

"For me it's the one serious blemish on an otherwise nearly flawless series."

Coming to this very late, but I just want to say how much the last couple of minutes made this episode. While I loved all the non-Don bits of this episode, for most of this episode I found the continuation of Don's hobo odyssey tiresome. And I grew incredibly antsy as the clocked ticked close to 11:15 and Don was…

Yeah, I totally thought that and was like, "No, that can't be what I thought it was, right?" And most of the reviews I read didn't mention that.

Three options:

So do you think there was more to Rashida and Rob Lowe being written off? I mean, I agreed with it, because both characters were pretty played out. But I was always curious whether they themselves decided to leave or whether the writers just decided to write them off. Rashida and Amy Poehler are supposedly quite close…

We can also, frankly, thank Jay Leno. The Leno-at-10pm debacle meant that when it was abruptly pulled off the air the network had no choice but to basically keep airing everything they had because they otherwise had nothing left. And it also meant they missed out on much of that year's pilot development.

For some reason, Billy Eichner was apparently credited as a full cast member this season.

So the real-life answer is that Paul Schneider has said he doesn't want to return and in an interview with Sepinwall, Schur said that while they initially had plans to bring him back for an arc in S3, after the order was cut they dropped it and the show wound up just going in a different direction.

Toddlers are a pain to have on set. As is flying someone in from New Zealand.

Indiana is still dry on Sundays.

What happened to that Bill Cosby series they picked up a few months ago?

WAIT! But in Season 2, Tom pretended to be Don Draper when pitching ideas for the summer catalogue! That implies Mad Men exists in this universe! Which means that that can't be Jon Hamm — just his doppelganger!

There were actually several very funny episodes — on the whole, I found myself enjoying Season 6 more than Season 5 because in many episodes, the jokes just seemed a lot fresher.

I hope thew flew Southwest.

The world "bistro" is classy as fuck.

It might be that you associate those hair styles — which were "in" in the late '60s — as old because people kept them until they were relatively old. There aren't too many of them left, but I remember when I was a kid in the '90s there were still old women who wore their hair in '60s styles. Hence, people with those…

Wait, so Ken's eyepatch is permanent? He *lost* the eye? Couldn't he get a glass one?

If anybody's interested, here's Colbert out of character in a Charlie Rose interview from 2007.

Is his HBO contract only a year? If so he could conceivably move back to Comedy Central afterwards.
