  1. Spoiler for a future episode, but it looks like Episode 6 is called
  2. You got it! I'm not sure what the connection is between Cox and Nikki Glaser, other than maybe they both know each other through red carpet events? Cox does the E! red carpet coverage for the Golden Globes, and Nikki's about to host it coming up in January...
  3. I have to admit, I've never really thought of that song as being about an interracial relationship, although to be fair I've never really paid that much attention to the lyrics. The only other lyric which even hints at that is the "You're so gangster, I'm so thug" line, which is admittedly cringy. If the singer is trying to relate to his black girlfriend, why is he referencing Mr. Mister, one of the whitest bands ever? 😄
  4. I picked up on the clue for Andy Richter once he said he had starred with Marlon Brando, "but no one has seen that footage". Fun trivia: The introductory scene of Scary Movie 2 was an "Exorcist" parody, with Andy playing the young priest and (originally) Brando cast as the old priest. Brando apparently had to drop out of filming after 1 day of shooting due to illness (it's the last film project he was involved with before dying), and that footage has never been seen anywhere. He was replaced in the film by James Woods (unfortunately not an upgrade 😞) So I already knew it was Andy and then when I heard him singing it was confirmed for me.
  5. "So you've got a car? That don't impress me much. But if you've got a SHIP, I'm in" 😀
  6. Update! The final 2 episodes of the season (which was 9 episodes) will be airing on Monday, September 16th.
  7. http://www.thefutoncritic.com/showatch/celebrity-family-feud/listings/ It looks like after tonight's show (which is the seventh aired so far this season), the show is going on an indefinite hiatus. The next two weeks, it's pre-empted by the Bachelorette, then by a Presidential debate on September 10th, and then "Dancing with the Stars" starts on Sep. 17th. The Futon Critic seems to indicate there were 11 episodes produced for this season. There's at least one unaired one (#1007- Chrissy Teigen & John Legend vs David Chang and Deadliest Catch vs Star Trek) Edit: My bad, the "11" refers to this being the 11th season of the show. Maybe they did only produce 8 episodes for this season and the Chrissy Teigen one is the only unaired one.
  8. If this is who I think it is, then yeah, it's an understatement to say they (had?) an interesting life for sure, haha
  9. Lisa Ann Walter is one smart cookie, between this and Celebrity Jeopardy. That was pretty impressive how she pulled out "Mozambique" from nowhere and got the answer to that question right.
  10. Mulaney had me cracking up in this episode. "OK, I'd like to use a fifty-fifty again" when they had 2 answers left, heh 😄
  11. I hate to be negative, but the things I dislike about this show are starting to outweigh the ones I don't. All the format changes have been unnecessary and annoying, especially the saving the hashtag game for the elimination round and the overhaul of FTW which just isn't working. I don't mind Taylor doing some jokes and crowdwork at the beginning, but I miss the little jokes the comedians would do when introducing themselves at the podiums. In general, the emphasis seems to be going away from the comics just riffing to more structured (often dumb) games.
  12. After that guy in the previous episode who looked like Chris Pratt, the lady in this episode reminded me of Amy Adams. 😀 Hope she pulls it out at the last minute on that cliffhanger, she seems nice.
  13. Is this the first time a group has ever run the chain on the US version of the show? (I'm pretty sure it is on this incarnation of it, anyway).
  14. I don't normally get offended by stuff like this, but that joke in Moe's Bar about "tipping" (complete with all the....noises and the ...uhhh...."money shot" at the end), seemed very off-brand for the show to me. The show doesn't usually get that graphic with stuff like that.
  15. I wonder if they wrote Wendi McClendon-Covey out of the show because they know she's gonna be busy with "St. Denis Medical" on NBC next season. So I guess Martinez will be the chief next season. It still cracks me up how they've designed that character to look exactly like Rosie Perez. Glad this show got picked up for a Season 2, although it looks like it won't be back on the schedule until at least midseason.
  16. Is Gumball perhaps? I also still maintain that Goldfish is
  17. I'm not sure how many people are watching this show, but I've really been enjoying it this season. I think it's my favorite Sunday night non-"Simpsons" animated show in a while. It seems to be pitched more solidly at adults, and I like how surprisingly violent it gets at times too. The humor for some reason reminds me of the old show "Sledge Hammer!", where you have a lead character who is sometimes good at his job but also often a morally disreputable character. And I like how they've incorporated all these bizarre elements to a show that's ostensibly taking place in the "real" world- the cyborg police officer, the woman who was raised by bears, the lawyer who time-traveled somehow from the 1980s, and now the stuff in this episode with the immortality and the growing-younger potion. Also, I think it's hilarious that there's a character voiced by Rosie Perez who they've designed to look exactly like her.
  18. I'm not sure how much it will improve your enjoyment if you watch these in production order, although this one obviously stuck out as being from earlier in the run. Here's a handy guide to just how out of order they've been airing these.
  19. The clues make sense for The Goldfish to be Vanessa Hudgens (I immediately thought of the same thing Rita did, with "the show must go on"- Vanessa did that Grease Live! show right after her father died) Vanessa was very visibly pregnant (like, third-trimester pregnant) at the Oscars last month. But if these episodes were taped back in September, that is a full 6, almost 7 months ago I suppose.
  20. I think the joke about "I didn't know she had alopecia!" was a reference to Chris Rock making that joke about Jada Pinkett, pre-getting slapped by Will Smith. (These episodes were filmed a while ago). You also had Jeff in this episode saying "Keep my wife's name out of your mouth!!!" before pretending to slap that guy.
  21. Yes! Not sure why they brought this up and didn't pay it off 😄
  22. Vaughn's plotline in this episode was slightly ridiculous, even by this show's standards. Of course there are couples that look for surrogates or sperm donators to help them conceive, but are there any husbands out there really willing to let some rando do their wife to have a baby? 😄
  23. It's been an ongoing thing with Shearer and Kavner for a while, but it feels like everyone is really starting to sound old on the show now, it's kind of sad. Maybe it's me, but I'm starting to hear the age in Dan's voice as well as Nancy's and Yeardley's. Only Hank Azaria's line readings still sound basically the same.
  24. Looks like the show is in reruns all next week, but I get it. This is a show that could probably burn itself out quickly if they tried to crank out a new episode every week of the year.
  25. I'm mostly familiar with him from "The Other Two", where he played the dopey ex-boyfriend of the lead actress on the show. It's one of those roles where it has kind of defined how I think of him, to the point where it's hard for me to take him seriously in any other role. He just has that particular delivery that makes him suited to playing dumb-but-sweet characters.
