you are wrong.

SNL and NBC are giving The Donald free airtime, first and foremost. Access like this usually costs a candidate some major coin: 90 minutes on a network TV show that is not a news one is expensive.

Oh, and almost all appendectomies are considered emergency surgery, BTW.

Only if it burst.

Time is in TDS' side.

Most appendectomies are now done via laparoscopy; recovery time is like 24 hours, and there is minimal pain involved.

I don't want to watch The Donald on SNL. It is free media for him, and if he is seriously running for POTUS, he has no business hosting the show.
A comedy spot on it? Sure - SNL invites candidates for that sort of thing. But hostint is a whole other thing.

I enjoy the Jodie character, in spite of the fact he is written as Mindy's opposite (he's not) and the 'Mindy' writers are falling back on the usual and worn out device: everyone's worst Man From Georgia's nightmare of a stereotype. '30 Rock' did the same with Kenneth, though he was more bumpkin than anything.

My people have a coastal Maine accent, not backwoods.

Mine is interesting:

The Kennedys are Boston Brahmin, which is a far cry from Southie.

Not as harsh as a Bronx accent.

It's like assuming the English all speak Geordie, say.

Your Afflecks and Damons grew up in working class Boston, so they are naturals; but Tom Hanks isn't. I mention Hanks because he has taken roles that require a New England accent (Catch Me if You Can, Captian Phillips) with mixed results.

I want to retire 1/2 the year in Southern ME; Portland or Cape Elizabeth.

What is hilarious is how often actors struggle with the New England accent.

Now Imma gonna check it out.

My family is from Maine, though I grew up in New York.

Every Sullivan is a Sully.

Yeah, that is an exaggeration. As a born Northeasterner, the true cold weather sets in usually late October or early November, but it is not a hard and fast rule.
