I’m not sure you can say with certainty “they took his choice away” unless you were there. It’s possible Lorne or others sat down with him and asked if he felt he’d be able to perform, and offered him an option to sit out and take it easy. Knowing they had his back and would find a way to cover for him may have been…

I’ll take any excuse to re-watch an episode, and this is a good one! ;) 

Curious - are they using actual content from Lenny Bruce’s standup for the show, or writing “new” material in his style? 

Neither husband nor daughter notices that she has been missing for weeks.

Sources told TMZ the the leak was carried out by an unnamed woman who had some kind of falling out of Cuban.

I think the ship has sailed on ever seeing Lohan’s “natural” look. I may be in the minority, but I find all the filler makes people look older, not younger. Maybe because it’s so obvious.

After the melee, Pusha attempted to commence his performance

And, also, they bring in new players from other shows these days. Big Brother! Are You the One! and of course, Geordie Shore - the British take on Jersey Shore.

I always saw his name as what happens when you start typing with your fingers on the wrong keys, so it’s the first time I paused to realize he was probably going for 69. Yuck.

That has been my take - and I’ve been waiting to see if the show comments on it. My hope is that it’s an off-hand, everyone knows and nobody cares, moment. 

She also looks like she’s lost a lot of weight since last season. 

I like your take on it! Also - I don’t think this is spoilery enough to not post, but in the podcast his boss is a woman (Amy Sedaris!!!!) so having the scene with the wife makes up for some of that dynamic which is otherwise missing on the tv series.

Yes! I was annoyed that Randall let her off so easily after the thing about wanting biological children. Her adopted brother, who we’ve been shown over and over she’s not as close to has her biological brother. Sigh.

I don’t watch any of the K shows (not that I’m a snob about them - I watch a lot of mindless tv, but they are just not my jam.) I was flipping through channels in a hotel room this weekend, though, and caught a few minutes of Kris, and was startled by how different she looks walking and talking vs. the still photos…

Funny, he’s always been my version of Seinfeld’s pretty/ugly girlfriend - hot in one scene, and oddly unattractive the next. I think it’s all in his facial expressions.

I tend to be obsessed with numbers, but it was clear that Nicky was born in 1948 (not “circa 1949"), as each newborn’s idenfification card showed the year. Also, during the draft lottery, the tv announcer said it was for deployment in 1970, so Nicky and all the other babies born October 18, 1948, were 21 or 22 at the…

Looks like the blind gossip sites that suggested Bradley’s beard contract is not going to be renewed in time for awards season are right. 

yes, if I recall there is a mention of leaving an abusive voicemail for his daughter, which made me think more of Alec Baldwin. 

A spoiler free overview on whether it’s worth my time would be much better than me reading the first x episode recaps

I was hoping it was a lingering childhood nickname for Cassandra or something, but the googles don’t seem to support that. It also seems her mother’s real name is “Laurie” and not, as one would assume, Laura. At least Larry is a Lawrence.
