That’s the thing, she’s charismatic as hell which means the deficiencies in her actual impression work have been glossed over from day one. IIRC, her first breakout character was a Penelope Cruz impression which was not an impression, but was quite funny, and she’s basically done that in some form or another ever…

In a character role, or in a cameo as herself?

She’s been a millstone around the show’s neck for a few years now.

I mean....that’s a lot of credit to give to a host who broke in multiple sketches while staring at cue cards in all of them.

The only way Will (and Jada) would sit down with Chris Rock is through one of their insufferable monetized Red Table Talk things, and does he have any interest in that? Surely not.

Yeah, this is part of what conservatorships are for - rich fuckups or addicts or psychological breakdowns.

The real question is: is it tons of drugs, or a mental health crisis in action?

Said Jada: “Chomp chomp chomp on my pussy by dozens of men who must keep my name out of their mouth.”

This is the longest season I’ve ever seen, and it feels it.  The mechanics of the show are creaking under the strain.

I’m most delighted to see Stephanie Beatriz down as a presenter! I saw her at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival years ago and have been thrilled to see her profile grow year after year. A phenomenal actor. We’d be better for seeing her in bigger and bigger projects.

I like this cast but I’m still ready for half of the remaining queens to be gone. 11 episodes in and we’ve only had six eliminations? I wish there had been more than one departure this episode - surely the producers could’ve rigged it for a Daya-Jasmine double sashay away. Watch them pack their bags at the same time,…

To paraphrase Linda Smith, I don’t love giving Yasshole the oxygen of attention, because I’m not that keen on him having the oxygen of oxygen.

‘Galaxy Quest’ is legitimately one of the most fun movies of the 90s. Managed to spoof and parody while maintaining a reverence for the source material. Probably the closest to that ideal of ‘Blazing Saddles’/‘Young Frankenstein’ we’ve seen since.

I blame the writing for that particular flaw in Mikey Day, but I do agree he’s just filler.

The years for women in between Jan Hooks departure and Molly Shannon, Cheri Oteri, and Ana Gasteyer all being in place were pretty rough, and coincided with the frat guy years of Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, and David Spade. I’m guessing that’s what elder millennials and young Gen Xers remember best.

Perhaps being born in Sac’to does not make you a cowboy. I was born in a small fishing village in another country and became a rocket scientist in the US, so I don’t get the point of bringing up his birthplace.

“He’s not a cowboy, he’s an actor” is a GREAT response.

Yes, I should’ve been clear that Ben had jokes to go with the non-drag impression, but I disagree there were other funny performances. Had anyone else been good, I’d prefer they won over Ben that episode. Next best was Shangela as Jennifer Lewis as Shangela, which was....not it.

Same principle behind restrictive underwear and family-bed: curb the tendency to masturbate....

We really did get a case-study in what happens when queens eliminate their biggest competition rather than whoever did the worst.  Once Jimbo and Pangina were gone, it was all so flat.
