That would make my day. "I am a Viking" is my jam.

I appreciate that he owns it. I think if you are over 30 and still listening to music you liked as a kid, don't tell yourself or others it's "ironic," just admit you like it.
Same here. Dentist didn't like to knock people out, so I got to watch the whole thing. Very surreal, especially when he had to stand on my footrest and tug with all his might to yank out stubborn wisdom tooth #4, which he had had to chisel off first. That one was sore for awhile after, so good luck Elizabeth.
Ironically, I was never that thrilled to see Wilmore's bits on the Daily Show - something about him and Stewart didn't click for me - but I am loving him on the Nightly Show where he's carrying the whole thing.
Good call on the similarities in the core story - I thought it felt too similar to Breaking Bad in the shooting, editing, and directorial flourishes (like shooting through a clear escalator). I had to go check, sure enough, directed by Vince Gilligan (I didn't know he was this involved again).
None of which is a…
In a word, I would say "timing." Crafting a bit and getting it right requires you to know how to build to a key point, then deliver it ice-cold. So zeroing in on the point of a dramatic scene should be within a good comic's wheelhouse.
Also, a solid background in improvising can't hurt either.
Not only that, but the Scorpio theme from Dirty Harry rips off Immigrant Song (and Sgt. Pepper's reprise, which might have been thematically intentional)… and then John Carpenter stated he ripped off both the Immigrant Song and the Scorpio theme for Assault on Precinct 13.
I never got to go to Jurassic World, because I died.
Yeah, what was the point? I died in a common place household accident, so I never got to fly a homemade jet glider or sail through a storm in a bathtub or some other preposterously dangerous activity?
I died, so I never got the chance to fly my own home-made jet glider. Or sail through a typhoon in a bathtub with my dog. Or any other low-risk behavior.
Insurance!
Occam's Razor! What's more likely, a chariot driven by an ancient god, or a colossal mass of nuclear reactions floating in deep space that simultaneously fuels and destroys life on earth with its massless photons (yeah, right)?
The Omniscient Designer wanted pets, not competition.
An airliner kamikaze attack on Washington was also the big finale of Tom Clancy's "Debt of Honor," which probably only about 5 million people read in 1994, in airports and on airplanes.
Except, obviously, Condaleeza Rice, who with a straight face testified to Congress, "My God! Who would have thought of such a thing!?"
That car chase was a good example of the tone-deafness of this show. Thank god there was at least a commercial break between Jimmy Smits' big scene and the Challenger product-placement Bullitt/the Enforcer spoof.
"This morning I received some crucial intel from my 4 year old son…."
"Vote of no confidence." "Aye." "Aye." "Aye." "Aye." "Aye." "Aye."
Flavor Flav. When PE played Tallahassee in 1991, we ran into him at Bennigan's prior to the show, sitting in a corner booth with a couple of S1ish-looking big guys. No Chuck D. - Flavor said they didn't really hang out, and that seemed sad to us at the time. He also pointed to my friend's Led Zeppelin patch and…
I was trying to remember the name of this place, if this is the one. I don't seek autographs anymore, but this place has some amazing signed stuff. They had Kubrick's signature, and some U.S. Presidents'. It's hard not to be impressed when I see Abraham Lincoln's signature on a letter. For sale! Lincoln!
Please, Bryan Fuller, make that happen.
I've got that Joey DeFrancesco Joey Doggs cd and had no idea that was actually Pesci. Holy shit.
They also have the two-track recorder that they recorded Respect on sitting in there. I took my picture with literally everything.
