My Lorne Michaels story: He and Scarlett Johansson attended the Correspondents' Dinner last year because Colin Jost was hosting. I went up toward the front to say hello to some folks and ended up next to them. I was so star-struck by her that I didn't even realize who was next to her until later!

Some personal news: I'm going to be taking some extended time off. It feels weird to be doing this at the start of a new administration, but I've had a rough few years (both professionally and personally) and I need to prioritize my own well-being. Wishing everyone joy and rest in the new year ✨

This is a good way of phrasing something I’ve thought about for a long time but had a hard time expressing: that media outlets worry a lot about seeming *biased* or *dishonest* but not enough about seeming *phony* (and being cautious/euphemistic/opaque only contributes to that)
