I mean, just look at this human brain fart trying to make a ha-ha:
LOLOLOLOlolOLOLOlLOlOOLLLLL. WAIT, WAIT … DO YOU THINK “N” STANDS FOR “AND”? Oh, baby, since we’re talking about Saturday Night Live skits, I regret to inform you that you just wrote one for this week’s episode. I look forward to seeing you and Eric at the “Weekend Update” desk on Saturday.
But, to be fair to Dummy Junior, he’s probably pretty distracted, waiting for the FBI to bust in his door any day now. (And Momma’s champagne is chilling for that very day. Let’s hope it’s sooooooon.)
Here are some very pretty character posters for American Gods and an interview with Ricky Whittle. I vow to start catching up with the remaining four episodes of season one THIS WEEKEND. (Unless I get distracted by cute animal videos or something.)
If you want, you can watch this Sunday’s True Detective, Crashing and High Maintenance tomorrow.
Killing Eve will be simulcast on AMC for season two, so now you have no reason to miss this gem.
Those still mourning FilmStruck will be happy to learn that Criterion is getting its own streaming channel, The Criterion Channel. My husband will be thrilled.
A love letter to the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt theme song.
The Good Fight has a plan in place in the event that Trump is impeached, a development they would be happy to have happen.
I MEAN, WHO LIVES IN A STREET-LEVEL APARTMENT WHO DOESN’T HAVE BLINDS OR CURTAINS? COME ON.
Empire, Chicago P.D. and Person of Interest all had to shut down filming yesterday and today because of the polar vortex. (Although there are other reports that Empire returned today.)
Updates on the Jussie Smollett Story: The Chicago police have released images of two persons of interest. A neighbor claims to have seen a “redneck” with a rope hanging around before the attack. Smollett and his manager claim that they were on the phone together when the attack occurred, and that the manager heard the “MAGA” comments. However, Smollett has refused to turn over his phone to the police for this to be verified. President Pppptttt was asked about the attack and said, “It was horrible. I’ve seen it, last night. I think that’s horrible. It doesn’t get worse, as far as I’m concerned,” before changing the conversation to drugs and the wall.
