    Pepperidge Farms remembers...

    She was on Seth Meyers the other night and seems very unpretentious. Congrats!

    Jesus, Cranston is channeling Keith Morrison

    Hey man, once you're a Jet you're always a Jet...

    I wonder if because it seems a rather intimate setting, the nominees feel less inhibited to ramble on?

    Well they are at Union Station, perhaps they're waiting for the arrival of the 5:50 from Fresno to blow it's horn as the wrap up cue...

    I got hunch this broadcast might run long....

    So far I'm pretty comfortable with the Soderbergh-esque production design. 24 fps, letterbox, and having talent framed way left or right. I do hope at some point we get a peek at director Glenn Weiss. Hopefully he's wearing shorts, a T-shirt and no shoes working out of his home office like the DNC Convention. Glenn Weiss at work

    I'm relatively sure the foldback monitor sparking was a pre-planned pyro effect, which means the guitar smash bit wasn't as spontaneous as it may have appeared.

    I'll walk over hot coals to see anything with TV's Craigie Fergie

    Yup, I was thinking the same thing. It smacks of suits for both Wallen's representatives and the network attempting to salvage a commercially lucrative deal that had been cut earlier. Probably one of those packages they put together for a SNL appearance, along with a shot on the Today show, Fallon's program and The Voice. A campaign to move that product, more transaction than actual entertainment. I'll be happily corrected if I'm wrong saying Wallen's artistic output as of yet doesn't warrant the extraordinary chance at redemption he's been offered, I hadn't heard of him before this kerfuffle. The first song was pleasant enough but at the end of the day Mick Jagger fucking up an SNL appearance and making things right is one thing, this kid.... well, that quite another. Maybe I just don't care for musical performers who play to the camera rather a live audience. In any event, he got his reprieve, let's see if he does anything with it.

    Pretty good story about this on HuffPost: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/how-snl-pulled-off-recreating-kamala-harris-pantsuit-with-a-melania-twist_n_5faabc38c5b66009569eb747 As mentioned, they had about 80 minutes to create the Kamala wardrobe. No advance notice, all in-house. Even in NYC, shopping for a Carolina Herrera knock-off suit can't be done at 10:00pm on a Saturday night. These folks are the best in the business.

    If Lorne ever chooses to retire, the National Broadcasting Company would do well to ask Mulaney to consider stepping in as Executive Producer. He delivers every damn time.

    RE: The “NBC:We have a type” joke. I hope that stung hard to every network weasel who is keeping their swimming pool warm off the tens of millions of dollars each of those three criminals raked in for the company.

    Usually a pretty good indication of the success or failure of the opening monologue can be read on the face of Lenny Pickett, who like Farmers Insurance, has seen a thing or two. My read was he couldn't get his facemask off and start playing sax for the first commercial break fast enough.

    Agreed, a Biden for all seasons. Sudeikis's Biden was Obama's happy warrior and America's daft Uncle Joe. Morph to Harrelson's portrayal where Biden is very much his own man and flexing his own muscles. More assertive and more aware of himself sometimes drifting in and out of the present. Carry's take was really dark. "Simmering rage hidden by a big smile" is an excellent assessment. Some of that was Carry deploying what is keeps his Gulfstream V jet in fuel, the 'rubber face', but his work has also shown a knack for portraying the troubled. Both might be good tools as his stint of this years SNL Biden plays out. I hope he does his homework on how Biden himself evolves over the course of upcoming events. BTW - Worth mentioning Alec Baldwin's Trump. Either he's dialing it back some or the real one has gotten that much more off the rails but lordy, that performance was so spot-on. Less cartoon-y.

    That's the thing, there's nothing sharp about the writing or much of the acting (sans Malkovich). It's executed with a club when a scalpel is the tool that was required. I also have little tolerance for the "Leave It to Beaver" endings dished up. The lunacy of the entire government endeavor washed away with Dad and his daughter sharing ice cream. Fade to black. *rolls eyes* Makes me wonder if this project hadn't been pitched to ABC in the first place but got shot down the minute Disney saw the budget.

    Malkovich is the only reason it's worth squandering your monthly bandwidth allotment streaming this thing. Netflix apparently really does have money to burn...

    She appears to wear flats (which seems appropriate for a character of her age and work-life), so little gain in height. Bosch wears cop shoes 'natch. 😉

    Hate to chime in on a 3 year old post, I'm new coming to the program (stay-at-home, and all) and very much enjoy it but Welliver is 6 feet tall in the same way an NBA player magically gains height in a game program. Better to appraise the difference in height not with Reddick with whom he seldom closely stands next to and we know is quite tall, but with Madison Lintz (Maddie) who, at 5"8" appears to be close to the same height. Again, sorry to roll in throwing bombs, for the most part I'm enjoying the heck out of the show. In some respects it has a bit of a "Mad Men" quality about it in that the pacing is quite different than what we often see, the dialog can be a bit hackneyed and noir on occasion but somehow works given the premise and genre. However in the same way "Mad Men" was able to intimately suck you into a world you may have peripherally understood only if you did so on the creator's terms, "Bosch" seems to have taken a similar cue. BTW - Since I mentioned Madison Lintz, what a great job of writing and performance that character has done. So refreshing (particularly after "Ozark") to see a teenager not be a source of irritation or stupid behavior. (Although I'm only up to Season 5, so don't tell me if Maddie starts going nuts. OK?)

    She's the straw that stirs the drink. I'll admit, this is the first time I've seen her work and I'm mighty impressed. I was racking my brain who she reminded me of in terms of both quality of work and appearance. Ding...ding...ding... Cush Jumbo.

    A little inside baseball about taping Brad Pitt's open: SNL's Brad Pitt cold open was shot with RED's prototype 6K camera

    If anything, this episode was proof-positive evidence of how an extremely talented group of video editors and graphic artists can elevate a production. Don't get me wrong, the cast and writers appear to be more comfortable with the constraints they've been dealt, but that this episode worked as well as it did is all on the production staff. I just hope Lorne opened up his sizable checkbook and financed the tools required so that the editors and graphics folks could do this at home rather than travel to 30 Rock. Green-screens are truly a wonder of nature...

    Does Melinda Gates have a Laura Linney thing going on or am I binge watching "Ozark" too much?

    Amber Ruffin is a freakin' genius. This might be the single funniest home produced bit I've seen during the lock down by anyone. Enjoy! Amber Ruffin’s Easter Quarantine Parade
