Nicole Byer just got her first Netflix special. She also has multiple podcasts and TV shows. She openly talks about race, gender, class, etc. (Even on “Nailed It,” which is popular with kids!) She’s successful because she takes the time to craft the jokes. There’s a setup, a twist, a punchline, with all the right…

In much more important news, we just lost Ronnie Spector at 78. Fortunately Tina Turner is still with us. Both of them lived long enough to see Phil Spector die, in prison.

Ugh. Dude, even though this is the AV Club, this is NOT the venue for you to try out your “In the Heat of the Night” slash fiction. Just send it to me and I’ll have an unzip and evaluate it.

Uno All Wild is a real game and not some sort of sick joke.

Anyone still calling someone a ‘wuss’ in 2022 is part of a problem.
