Don’t buy breakfast cereal at Costco. Not because of freshness / storage concerns, but because it’s not actually cheaper than the grocery stores. Groceries routinely cut the price of various cereals to $2.50 a box as a loss leader. Costco never sells its boxes (which are two grocery-boxes worth) for $5 or less.

Betting pool time: who hosts the new show? Jamil? Somebody from SNL that needs a soft landing spot, like Kyle Mooney? Dare I hope for it: NORM?

I highly doubt that the kerfuffle over what Rebel Wilson said on Ellen three months ago will actually impact this movie’s box office.

Is the kid who plays Joe a little person? Or is he just photoshopped in there strangely? He doesn’t even come up to Vergara’s waist!

At this point, if you were an established female director, would you sign on to Red Sonja? Half the press when the movie comes out is going to be about Singer and odds are very good that, in the US at least, it’s going to be a flop (what’s the last sword-and-sorcery film that really did well at the box office?)

Yeah, I thought it smacked of “leftover B plots” that they were doing a toy run episode now, but apparently Toys R Us brought it back from 2010-2018.

Part of the weirdness is that they did it from New York. Most of the other guest hosts used Ferguson’s old set in LA. Pally and Schwartz were sitting at the CBS this morning roundtable where Charlie Rose and Gayle King usually sat.

My favorite line from the show is when he meets Death Cab and he says “I’m a big fan... you can probably tell by the way I’m dressed” (shabby sport coat with patches, plaid shirt)

On the other hand, they gave up on Big Bang Theory recaps the last couple of seasons. Modern Family must get a lot of clicks, because there are consistently <25 comments per episode.

I heard he was really into high-stakes poker, to the point that he doesn’t really need to / want to work anymore. Wasn’t he the inspiration for the Michael Cera character in Molly’s game?

That’s right, and now that you’ve jogged my memory, they did a very similar one a couple of years ago with either Vanessa Bayer or Aidy Bryant (or maybe they’ve done the same idea two more times): filming a movie, someone can’t stop farting.

I seem to remember a Tina Fey appearance on Seth Meyers where they mentioned Al Franken used to regularly submit a sketch about a fart doctor, which ended up being used as one of the sketches on 30 Rock.

I have a co-worker who looks like Lindsay Lohan, pre-plastic surgery. Of course, none of us can tell her that, because it would likely be seen as an insult now.

Given that Neil Patrick Harris is hosting HQ Trivia tomorrow night, he’s got to be available...

Well, he could host a mediocre Oscars, and the ratings would go down again (because they will regardless) and then everything the next day would be blaming him for his lack of preparation. If it’s not Bob Hope in his heyday (or at least the good Billy Crystal years), then the narrative will be all about him. And after …

The author buries the lead on the horrific accident. She was smoking a cigar, and the ash set her skirt on fire.

My wife turned to me and said “Miley doesn’t have any confidence in herself or this song. Instead of paying attention to the song, we’re all staring at her chest waiting for a nipple to pop out.”

And I think Cecily’s career path is probably going to be a lot closer to Dunn than Hooks: lots and lots of character parts until she wants to retire (as opposed to Hooks, who had a couple of swings-and-misses, a recurring part in a sitcom, than basically disappeared).

Even after six episodes, I couldn’t figure out what the point of Merv was. Was he embarrassed to have that job? Part of the conspiracy? Just a random bureaucrat? What was his function in terms of the story? If you’re going to add a new boss, make us actually care about the boss. You could have just as easily had…

Hoo-boy. This comment has NOT aged well.
