The Blake Hotel! I haven’t watched SNL regularly since the 1970s. Except for in the run-up to the 1st Obama election. Oh and the cold openings during George W. Bush.

Funnily enough and speaking of gross frat boys I was just reading a couple tweets about the NYT story about Brett Kavanaugh. It’s the Kavanaugh-versary! About a year ago was when those hearings were going on. Ew. I just had a little glug of nausea.

I agree with you completely on all of this especially the fucking movies! 😟 But I like Maya Rudolph.

In my younger days I had a girlfriend whose first job out of college was working for a prestigious book publisher. She was asked to review several recent submissions. If she said that she didn't like them they were rejected without anyone else checking. So someone's many yeaxrs of Blood, Sweat, and tears were judged by a 21 year old college graduate.

I always preferred SCTV to SNL. Kept watching after Belushi and Ackroyd left but Season 5 was my last. Tuned in once to see Lone Justice but not since.

Ha. When I read this guy's "jokes" I immediately thought of Sponge Bob Square Pants's speciesist squirrel-baiting standup "comedy."

That's what I knew about him. I didn't even hear about the MSG.

My gran used to keep a shaker of MSG in her kitchen, and I can tell you, she was NOT Chinese!

That's the one. Sorriest comedy routine-- the "beatnik"-- I've ever seen.

You're permitted your questionable taste.

No, I didn't see it. I don't watch SNL, and when I see clips online, I rarely find them even mildly amusing. Self-congratulatory BS.

I suspect many of us can remember our parent's kitchens boasting a shaker of Ac'cent Seasoning - the brand name MSG was sold under back in those days. I also remember when omg MSG is Bad For You came around. These days? I seldom think of it, and have never purchased a container for my own kitchen.

My mom did also too. Sometimes she'd use too much, and we'd feel a bit uncomfortable, but under normal usage, it made her food taste better.

This aged well (and I mean that with absolutely no irony whatsoever).
