Tracy Morgan and Terry Gross
The Sound of Young America (Free subscription) | 11/20/2009
This is old news now , but I hadn't had time to give it a proper listen yet. A) I feel that Tracy's emotion is very real in this. Some people have suggested it's a put-on of some kind. Tracy is obviously kind of a ridiculous guy, but he's a sincerely ridiculous guy. And I think Tracy talking about appreciation of someone caring about his story for real is true. B) Terry Gross' greatest strength as...

Saturday Night Payback?
The Daily Politics (Free subscription) | 11/18/2009
The venerable "Saturday Night Live" has relished in its buffoonish portrayal of Gov. David Paterson as an aimless, blind womanizer who hates New Jersey. A sharp-eyed Capitol observer pointed out an interesting point this morning to DN Capitol Bureau Chief Ken Lovett that could help explain why Paterson is such a target: SNL creator and head honcho Lorne Michaels is a long-time friend of...

Jane Lynch aces ‘Tonight Show’: Your move, Lorne
Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch (Free subscription) | 11/18/2009
Charm Conan. Check. Wink at 50 Cent. Check. Embarrass Andy Richter for not paying his parking tickets 15 years ago. Check. Jane Lynch simply nailed her guest performance on The Tonight Show last night. Let’s hope Lorne Michaels took notice, because she’d kill as host of Saturday Night Live.

Lazy tab-dumping, because I got things to kill . -- Somewhere in heaven, PT Barnum looks down on Sarah Palin and sheds a single proud tear. -- I can't believe I yet again missed NaNoWriMo . The Doomed Pulp Novel remains unfinished. You know, when you look at what Wil's doing with his latest book , I am tempted to go just online and POD with it. Not like the odds favor me selling any more in bookstores...

11/17 ~ Todays special boys and girls. Are you one of them? Mischa, Marty and Rachel 1897 Frank Fay , aka Mr. Barbara Stanwyck. The theory goes that their troubled marriage was the basis of A Star is Born . That story is so big it's practically it's own franchise. I can't stop thinking about it today: Stanwyck through the lens of Gaynor, Garland, Streisand. Yummy !) Even if it's only an urban LA legend,...

Gilda Live
DVD Talk (Free subscription) | 11/15/2009
Recommended THE MOVIE: During the summer of 1979, during her hiatus from Saturday Night Live , Gilda Radner performed a live Broadway show featuring many of the popular characters she had invented for the subversive late-night comedy series. Produced and directed by SNL -mastermind Lorne Michaels, Gilda Live was a big hit with audiences. The year following, a film document of the comedienne's showcase,...

Saturday Night Live: January Jones Is No Jon Hamm
Vulture (Free subscription) | 11/15/2009
After seeing January Jones trash talk her way through a beer pong match with Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday night, we allowed ourselves to get our hopes up for her to take on the hosting duties of Saturday Night Live this week. In retrospect, this was quite an unfortunate mistake. After a landmark 34th season filled with creative triumphs and strong ratings, it has felt as if the cast and crew of Saturday...

The story behind The Beatles Never Broke Up is laughably insane - parallel dimensions and what not - but that's not the point. The point is that it's a quality mashup of Beatles solo songs presented as if it were an unreleased album from the band. I've been giving it a good listen for the past few days and rather enjoy it.. it's familiar but still new. Related: Scenes from an Alternate Universe in...

Wednesday night, post-Zizek-lecture links. * President Barack Obama does not plan to accept any of the Afghanistan war options presented by his national security team , pushing instead for revisions to clarify how and when U.S. troops would turn over responsibility to the Afghan government, a senior administration official said Wednesday. Probably the best of a bad set of options. * How Food Preferences...

MightyGodKing gives us a glimpse at a world where John, Paul, George, and Ringo accepted Lorne Michael’s half-joking offer of $3000 to play on Saturday Night Live, and I have to say: It’s a beautifully fleshed out look at a world many a Beatlemaniac like myself have long wished for. December 14, 1980. Having [...]

Hi, I’m Lorne Michaels, the producer of Saturday Night . Right now, we’re being seen by approximately 22 million viewers, but please allow me, if I may, to address myself to just four very special people—John, Paul, George, and Ringo—the Beatles: Lately there have been a lot of rumors to the effect that the four of you might be getting back together. That would be great. In...
