Tiny Secret Whispers bonus with Joel Edgerton playing along about his feud with Joel Edgarton! He really leaned into the bit and I appreciate him so much for it. Then I cried laughing in Corrections when the graphics department made up a title card that just read NO. Both times it utterly slayed me!

That was my favorite bit! Mel not using the bathroom when other people are around, and the handcuffs being to big for her lady wrists! 🤣 I loved all of Seth’s voices, except for the Dennis Miller impression. But sure, bring on Ray Romano and Brad Garrett, Obama in Philly—bring back Vince Vaughn! (Did not like the “wolf attack” joke, though. There is already enough issue with states allowing wolf killings based on myths like this over science.)

Agreed! That was way more fun than a standard movie promo interview. (Especially loved Stephen mouthing “oh, fuuuuu...” during the slo-mo knife throw. Funny, that didn’t get close captioned 🤣)

Is that the last of Tiny Secret Whispers? Dang, I’ll miss it. Going out on the ‘80s sitcom theme song was great!

Holy cow. I had heard about Giuliani Junior’s weird “parts of five decades” speech several times from various news/commentary sources. I had not heard before that he was the least-liked member of (what I’m guessing was) the least-liked reality show. I thought obnoxious golfer was an oxymoron. Can’t shut up? And apparently can’t stop self promoting? A chip off the old block, for sure. Slight correction for the LWT caption writers: There is no San Francisco City Council. The city and the county have the exact same boundaries, so there is a county board of supervisors and a city mayor. The main story with the paid hucksterism was awful. (Except for the George Clooney cameos.) The FCC needs to regulate the wording, size, and duration of notification of these paid segments, because that tiny type is invisible.

I expected them to have a sketch with her and Chloe that capitalized on them looking similar. I think Punkie has been getting some really solid work in—I really like her. Unfortunately for Lauren she really had been the “backup Aidy.” Nailing him, even over her shoulder without looking! That really was the highlight of an overall great night.

I know when they cut to commercial after the monologue, they show that the guest has been listening in on Zoom the whole time. And I think in the old days they played the stage camera on a tv in the green room. But it was so funny having John Krasinski right there the whole time! Especially Evie insisting on keeping “the first chair” and Stephen playing to his audience. 😄

That poor staffer in Secretary Haaland’s office! I wonder what it was she thought was so desperately necessary that she needed to go in during the interview, and if she realized afterwards it was not worth it! 😂

I haven’t felt happier after the news in forever! The Ford F-150 is going electric, the ridiculous audit in Arizona is starting to fall apart, and the former guy is closer to indictment. What a day!

Loved Age Aunt Nothing but a Number! From someone significantly past Auntiependence Day, oh, it’s nice to live in the world of warm shoulders, comfortable shoes, and early bedtime. 😂

I’m not sure why John’s reaction to Tilda wasn’t the same as his usual reaction to things that are powerful and terrifying—becoming disturbingly aroused. (What? My decades-long attraction to Tilda has nothing to do with this question. *cough*)

Co-sign. The US carries the horrible stain of stealing the land from the people living there and forcing them into increasingly smaller and less desirable tracts, engaging in occasional battles over it. We know it’s a horrible, unethical thing to do and we should be telling our friend at every opportunity that they’re going down a horrific path. Speaking of horrific paths, of course my state has a stand your ground law. We just need to flip the state house blue...

I’ve never seen a behind the scenes for the Muppet Show, but my impression was that the muppets were basically hand sized. Statler and Waldorf here were more real-person sized so that they would look in scale with Kenan and KMK. My favorite muppet effect was the swollen black eyes after the beat down!

Biden didn’t even go on the Pod Save America podcast during the campaign, and he knew those guys from the White House. Most of the other candidates needed more exposure but he was VP so people knew him already. (I don’t know how to move this, though I’m sure it needs to go to a different topic.)

Yeah, I usually find her over-the-topness funny but this sketch just felt disturbing in a creepy way.

The Last Supp-Her! Between all the Biblical puns and the ladies having no time for the disciples’ misogyny, I was living

At least I wasn’t the only one thinking it! And his hair is gorgeous—wth, who can complain about it?

About what you’d expect from a sociopathic tech bro billionaire. Has a horrible temper and can go on firing rampages. Has run afoul of the SEC for making manipulative statements and not disclosing information to investors. Is suspected of market manipulation with his e-currency statements. Is constitutionally incapable of not being in a relationship but is very controlling of what he wants of his women. (He called his first wife emotionally manipulative when she openly grieved their baby who died of SIDS. She ended up writing the classic article “I was a starter wife.”) Called a Thai cave rescue worker a pedophile. Insisted that coronavirus was going to blow over. Forced his Tesla workers to go back into the plant during CA’s lockdown and 450 of them ended up getting the virus. Picked up the plant and moved to TX because he was still salty about health restrictions.

Thanks for recapping, Pete, so I didn’t have to watch. I ended up watching WU (and laughed out loud several times), plus Ego and Kyle. Ego is a freaking talent! She just keeps getting better and better. And I watched Chad, as I am a Chad completist.

*sigh* Of course Pete Davidson is an Elon Musk bro. He is 27. Slowly maturing, and at least he looks happy and healthy, if unfortunately mustachioed.

And it’s just. So. Idiotic. It makes me want to send him a list of his questions in letmegooglethat.com links. For example: https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=does+the+coronavirus+vaccine+have+a+microchip+in+it%3F Man, if they could make it type in extra slow, just for his dumbassery, I’d love it.

Noooooooo! Egg was hilariously bizarre. Cicada was DISGUSTING. During this segment I had the desperate wish for him to get Botoxxed so he couldn’t make that stupid face! It would destroy 90% of his show, of course...

Yes, Kelly likely grew up in an orphanage. She’s approximately Shane’s age/a year or two younger than Danny. She was old enough to be helping the younger children when the Baldwins first saw her. The paperwork Kelly was sent said that her father was in the army. Perhaps her other relatives were already killed in the war and he wouldn’t have been in a position to care for her. She told Karen her birth father had a restaurant in Arlington—that’s about a four and a half hour drive from Houston. So coincidence that he didn’t end up in California, but most Vietnamese immigrants did end up in CA and TX.

Same! Yes! This is the only reason I’m okay with Alexis and Ted not being together at the end of the show. I utterly loved them together, but I love Alexis standing on her own two feet even more. Maybe those two crazy kids will make it work someday, but meanwhile they’re building their careers. I’m so jealous you got to watch the whole show fresh. 😄 Enjoy the rewatch! (Agree on The Good Place, too. For another feel-good show, I highly recommend Ted Lasso on Apple TV+. If you have any iPhone, iPad, Mac, you’ll have a free trial.)

John has had some odd mancrushes in his day, but I can’t argue with Colin Firth!
