During SNL50, original SNL writer @alanzweibel.bsky.social was seen behind Tim Meadows on his phone. Was he: A) Texting in last minute jokes to punch up a sketch; B) Playing Words with Friends with Dan Aykroyd and Bill Hader or C) Watching Jean Doumanian and Dick Ebersol TP his house on ringcam?

This is a well-researched investigation by @danpasternack.bsky.social into something some of us must care about. Whither the Schwings in modern sketch comedy? Featuring blabbing from me, tracing the origins of Da Bears, for Me To Poop On & other comedy nerdistry -RS latenighter.com/features/whe...

Like buffalo that once roamed the plains of Studio 8H in great herds, the catchphrases were plump and plentiful… and then one day they were gone. But why? Dan Pasternack investigates.

This White House Executive Order just in: The Broadway musical "Hamilton" has been determined to be a byproduct of DEI and has therefore been ordered to close until it can be re-written by Ted Nugent and/or Kid Rock and re-open with an all white cast.

This White House Executive Order just in: There are officially only two genders. Male and female. And only men who voted for Trump and only women who are determined to be hot enough will qualify as either. Everyone else will be classified as "caddies" or "livestock"

As a public service, I will be posting the latest executive orders from The White House. This just in: All people with foreign sounding names, will be re-assigned more acceptable "American" names. For men that will include Greg, Dave and Carl. For women that will include Sally, Lisa and Ivanka.

Once, as a joke, I said that I'd only require one question on my singles profile: "Are you familiar with George Meyer's 'Army Man'?" If so, we can go out. Have YOU heard of Army Man? Want to learn more? Want to dive deep? If so, check out my Substack! Coming soon! doinit.substack.com/subscribe

Sometimes when absolutely nothing seems to make sense, it’s the simple things that can get you through. Diner pie and coffee.

BREAKING NEWS: Cameras captured the private meeting between the President and the Governor of California. After renaming the Gulf of Mexico and Denali in Alaska, we should not be surprised that this is what's next. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdvD...

In the 1950s, a broad brush was used to paint a lot of satirical comedy as "sick." Lenny Bruce, Jonathan Winters, Tom Lehrer and others were branded by Time Magazine as "sickniks." But a few embraced that label. Especially future Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Jules Feiffer. RIP.

Just last night I was recalling to a friend my memory of when David Lynch brought his film Blue Velvet to USC to screen for a crowd of young film students. It broke my brain in the best way and remains one of my 5 favorite films ever. RIP to a singular artist.

Q: Well, yes, but won’t you be telling me that I didn’t get the job? A: Why would we do that? Q: Wait. Have I been ghosted? A: We prefer the term “unworthy of closure.”

I am just learning of friends out in Southern California who have lost their homes. Thankfully not their lives but it's still beyond devastating. I have other friends who are opening their homes to the displaced. My heart is out there with them all.
