Kylie Minogue was a babe. Perhaps she still is, I have no idea.

Its very fair. Both were highly praised SNL staffers. Someone thought Jost was awesome enough to have him replace the fabulous Cecily Strong on Update, and someone thought Mulaney was awesome enough to carry a bad sitcom. Turned out, both men were not up to their respective tasks.

It's all about his "gifts."
"It sucks to see someone as gifted as Mulaney face-plant so hard professionally, and so publicly. Mulaney ends its only season on a desperate gay-panic gag, which underlines that the show’s swift death is a blessing in disguise for its star, since it spared him from continuing to squander…

Maybe John Mulaney and Colin Jost can have a beer together and console themselves with the knowledge that insiders thought they were absolutely hysterical, even if millions of viewers found them annoying and dull. Oh, and Mulaney's appearances on The Kroll Show were among the show's worst segments; he does an old man…

Several hotels are doing this recently. Pardon me for not exactly believing that all these hotel chains have suddenly gotten in touch with their deepest values or whatever. It's more like, "we gave them wifi, they found RedTube, and the market for $12.99 porn movies kinda cratered."

His early influence was remarkable. When he hosted SNL, it was an event. There was something so refreshing and new in his stand-up, something that ran counter to the seriousness of most of the 70s, and eventually it seemed like every local radio DJ was doing a Steve Martin shtick.

The first few episodes were low-key and subtle, a kind of forerunner to shows like The Wonder Years. Fonzie was particularly funny, utterly deadpan and impassive, in stark contrast to his later loud persona. But the show very quickly went for the garish and loud, and since it was the 1970s, the country ate it up. The…

So basically, Houses of the Holy, plus 19 others that people don't care much about.

After I had abdominal surgery, Wanderlust was on the hospital TV. It made me laugh too hard and I had to turn it off because of the pain.

In Stripes, the new Army recruits are in the barracks introducing themselves in one brilliant little segment. John Candy, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, "Francis", "Cooter", Sgt. Hulka. Rather than give all the funny lines to Murray they managed to make everyone look a little demented.

From the HuffPo article: "'They've invested a lot of time in developing these story lines and the last thing they want to do is to throw it all away,' a source told the magazine."

I still can't get over TLC taking their sweet time canceling this show. I bet at least a few TLC executives were like, "let's see how the Megyn Kelly interview goes," as though Jim Bob was going to work his persuasive cornpone charisma on the viewing public and make everyone want to tune in to more seasons as though…

Bob Dylan's three gospel albums (1979-81) aren't considered his worst work, but they aren't exactly seen as his apex, either. But I love them dearly. In most cases the antipathy to those records seems to originate in the critic's belief that Dylan never should have gone there, rather than focusing on the songs…

Jessica Biel just never caught a break.

Amy Schumer. Larry David. Richard Branson. Bernie Sanders. Amy Sedaris. David Sedaris. Ira Glass. Cecily Strong. Amy Poehler. Pope Francis.

I like comics that would be considered non-fiction: Maus, Fun Home, Harvey Pekar, even Alan Moore's "From Hell", which was based on historical events with a huge dose of conspiracy theory. Therefore, I would love to see brilliant non-fiction writers like Philip Gourevitch, Lawrence Wright (Going Clear), Eric Schlosser…

I don't like the nostalgia for things that were cringeworthy even then. By the late 70s I was completely addicted to comic books but the various comic book shows (Hulk, Spider-Man and Wonder Woman) were laughably bad, and thus served to make comic readers look like even bigger nerds.

At first, Desmond's obsessive love was flattering, but damn did it get old. Needy people are bad, but needy Scots are the worst.

Josephine Bornebusch is absolutely stunning. I need to catch up with this show.

Someone else mentioned Astonishing X-Men by Joss Whedon and John Cassaday from 2004 and I totally agree. Perfect for many different audiences, and not tangled in heavy layers of X-Men continuity.
