Best? He was energetic and game for whatever they threw at him, but focused all his eyeline on cue cards and bungled even single lines. The cast did all the heavy lifting. Above average for a first timer and athlete but I have to strongly disagree about best, especially after Pascal just melded with the cast like he

Heidi is a Chiefs fan, so it makes sense they’d use her more with Kelce, especially in those dating sketches.  They had a good time leaning into the ‘himbo’ vibe.  

This was the best show of the season. Here is 1 good thing and 4 bad things from the episode

Last week I joked that the Gabby/Jimmy kiss/hookup was playing into well-worn sitcom tropes

I’m not even on board with complaining that the depiction of therapy is unrealistic. A realistic depiction of therapy would be dull and awful TV.

“You don’t want to miss my thing...

I’m not saying that sitcoms have to be broad multicam affairs with no thematic resonance. I'm saying that complaining about a lack of character development is looking at sitcoms wrong.

Everybody working for The Weekend, huh. 

So what you’re saying is that Cancel Culture doesn’t really exist as an actual force that can change things but is really just the hopes and dreams of a few people that ultimately come to nothing?

I imagine most fast food workers aren’t terrified of their bosses, but figure it’s not worth the aggravation to break the rules and have the boss complain.

It was a Fox News interview, so they were making up someone who wanted a hypothetical apology

Wait, dude why are you talking on Fox News? no no no no no no

Ah, I love the smell of snide, unnecessary commentary in the morning
