'Wasn't That Special' Season Twenty-Three Bonus Materials
As the Wasn’t That Special co-hosts watch each season of Saturday Night Live, they compare notes on each episode, chatting back and forth about both popular and long-forgotten sketches. Some of the topics they discuss make it to the final podcast; others are left on the cutting-room floor.
But for those of you who join at the Executive Producer level, you will have access to Christian and Scot’s behind-the-scenes notes, as well as bonus materials the co-hosts used to prepare for the episode.
Below is the Season Twenty-Three bonus notes section, with the clips coming next week.
So please help keep the podcast advertisement-free and upgrade to the Executive Producer level, which will keep these emails coming in the future!
Episode One: Sylvester Stallone
Christian: This episode felt endless. Fell off a cliff in the second half, although Stallone was a game host.
Scot: Norm doesn't do a lot of sketches, but he makes them count. The show will be losing a real weapon later in the year, despite the perception that he only did WU.
Mickey (Breuer) advises Stallone to go back to the basics
Christian: Tina Fey is still angry they allowed Kattan to play Adrian - Oteri wanted the part.
Scot: Cop Land is a fantastic film and totally rewatchable. Love it so much.
Rita Delvecchio is excited when husband (Stallone) brings home a new Cadillac
Christian: The writers sent Fey into Stallone's dressing room to tell him he needed to enunciate more in this sketch. She partially wrote it.
Scot: I found this completely acceptable. Am I softening in my old age?
Janet Reno (Ferrell) investigates Clinton fund-raising charges; Richard Jewell cameo
Christian: Totally disjointed.
Scot: Nobody really realizes it's the real Richard Jewell - This one doesn't really know what it wants to be.
Planet Hollywood - Breuer and Morgan yell things and generally be annoying
Christian: Breuer breuering.
Scot: Why is everyone in this sketch facing the camera instead of each other? - There was a way to pull this off. This is not it.
Lou's Lovely Daughters - Stallone tries to find husbands for daughters
Scot: Stallone is working hard but the material isn't helping him.
Episode Two: Matthew Perry
Christian: Recurring, recurring, sarcasm, soon-to-be recurring, recurring, recurring...Ferrell also now dominating.
Scot: Show has been all over the map so far.
Cookie Dough Sport commercial
Christian: A prelude to Ron Burgundy's "Milk was a bad choice" bit in Anchorman? Drinking dairy when it's hot?
Scot: Pretty much the Crystal Gravy script flipped on its head. Didn't do much for me.
Celebrity Jeopardy - Michael Keaton (Perry), Burt Reynolds, and John Travolta
Christian: Hammond's Travolta is too nuanced. Post-Tarantino Travolta isn't nearly as fun as 70s Travolta.
Scot: The audio Daily Double clue has lived with me for years and years.
The Ladies' Man - old-fashioned player Leon Phelps (Meadows) takes some calls
Christian: The Ladies Man movie is actually decent.
Scot: Meadows again with a solid feel for his character. Promising start to this one.
Space, the Infinite Frontier - Harry Caray (Ferrell) talks to astronaut
Christian: A step down from the Goldblum one.
MTV News - Goat Boy sings with Willie Nelson (Ferrell) & Julio Iglesias (Perry)
Christian: The Goat Boy/Kincaid collaboration asked for by Satan himself. When Breuer gives a random bleat, Oteri derisively says "okay."
Scot: Who cracked open this portal to the seventh circle of hell?
Friends - Quinn does foppish Chandler impression for show
Christian: Oteri's Rachel isn't close to being as good as Vanessa Bayer's years later.
Scot: Credit where due: Kattan's Ross is outstanding.
The Golords - puppets rescue kidnapped Bill Clinton
Scot: This was ... surprisingly good? I have no recollection of these at all.
Christian: I, too, have no recollection of this and it is really good. A Team America: World Police predecessor.
Good Morning with Liza - Liza Minnelli (Shannon) & Woody Allen (Perry)
Christian: Another example of female cast members playing old ladies. How many people have done Woody Allen so far? Wearing a fake nose to play a Jewish person probably doesn't happen today.
Episode Three: Brendan Fraser
Christian: Only three recurring bits - did the show suffer as a result?
Scot: Dud. Morgan absent. Quinn has less time than when he was a featured player.
Janet's Bedroom - Janet Reno (Ferrell) has a Bill Clinton fantasy
Christian: Enough Janet Reno. We get it.
Scot: Clinton is so rarely the main character in sketches he appears in. I guess Lewinsky changes that.
Lemon Glow commercial
Christian: The tattoo on the arm is supposed to represent rebellion, but it would be pretty common for housewives today.
Scot: Molly is very good a straddling that good girl/bad girl line.
Issues - stoners (Breuer) & Jeff (Fraser) host show while high
Christian: Over the summer, Breuer likely filmed Half-Baked, a terrible movie, that he thought would translate into a good sketch. It does not.
Scot: Hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate this.
Monday Night Football - Frank Gifford (Hammond) talks about Kathy Lee through football metaphors - Eric Dickerson cameo
Christian: They brought in the real Eric Dickerson for THIS?
Scot: Norm not even trying to nail the Michaels impression. It's mostly a monologue for Hammond anyway.
Colette Reardon explains her medication needs to pharmacist (Fraser)
Christian: Close to the first one, yes, but it's still funny. Oteri's best character.
Scot: Not much daylight between this and the first one.
Mango debut - Fraser becomes obsessed with male stripper Mango (Kattan)
Christian: Seems like they know this is going to be around for a while - barely half-written.
Scot: This would be an unimpressive one-off, but at least something unusual. Instead it recurs on and on and on.
The Shark Channel - Shark Channel programming only partially reflects network’s implied focus
Christian: The shot at Rob Schneider gets this an extra point.
Scot: I laughed. The celebs-as-shark pictures did it.
Buddy Songs - cast is creeped-out cast by Fraser songs about Ferrell
Scot: Why bother with the guitar at all? He's not pretending to play. Not goofy enough to work.
Episode Four: Chris Farley
Meadows and Chase vouch for Farley as host - Farley tries to pratfall on real table
Christian: I don't even know how to rate these, given what happened shortly thereafter.
Scot: "Fatty falls down, ratings go up."
Meadows and Rock take over the monologue while waiting for Farley to show up
Christian: Actually choked up when Chris Rock showed up. Everyone is pitching in to help Farley out.
Scot: Rock was brought to 30 Rock in case Farley actually couldn't go - Farley's voice is atrocious - This ends up a little disjointed.
Morning Latte - Tom (Ferrell) & Cass (Oteri) share anecdotes
Christian: Oteri and Ferrell obviously had chemistry - weird that she was nowhere to be seen in his movie projects after SNL.
Scot: Liked the parody of morning news shows, not sure why "stupid bitch" had to be part of the script.
Spinning Class - Matt Foley tries to inspire a health club exercise cycle workout class
Christian: Horror show. Almost had to watch while shielding my eyes.
Scot: Farley tries the voice for 15 seconds, fails, then drops it - He's out of breath after walking 10 feet.
Goth Talk -Azrael’s brother Glen (Breuer) and Farley taunt hosts
Christian: Kattan said these were written by Dennis McNicholas, who would later join Tina Fey as co-head writer. He still writes Weekend Update to this day.
Superfans Revisited - Mike Ditka’s [real] departure causes Super Fan schism; Bill Kurtis cameo
Christian: Tough watching Farley act out having a heart attack. It would be real within weeks.
Scot: Liked a lot of the parts to this. Smigel wrote, I'm guessing.
Weather Scope - pro wrestler El Nino (Farley) challenges hurricanes to rumble
Christian: Actually liked this. Clever premise. A proper send-off.
Scot: I used to think he was affecting a voice for this bit. However, it's clear that's just his normal sound at this point.
Episode Five: Jon Lovitz
Christian: Light on Ferrell and it shows.
Scot: Started promising then flopped. Enjoyed seeing Lovitz back.
Dunkin Donuts - Michael Vale (Lovitz) has ideas for his character
Christian: Contrast piece - darkness versus silliness.
Scot: Nice two-person narrative. Like the absurd premise and then the build.
Spend a Year in the Alaskan Wilderness with Jewel
Christian: Got better as it went along.
Scot: Surprised me a bit that I liked it.
Colin Quinn Explains the NY Times
Christian: This is Fred Armisen's bit about "political" comedians who just hold up a newspaper and read the headlines.
Scot: Why isn't this just on WU? More accurately, why is this on at all?
The Robyn Byrd Show - porn actress Robin Byrd (Oteri) & adult film industry guests chat
Christian: Norm holds his right arm as if he is Bob Dole. Seems like a performance habit he picked up.
Scot: Rob Long's George & Leo gets a shoutout! - pretty much DOA.
Episode Six: Claire Danes
Christian: How was Claire Danes 18 years old here?
Scot: Big night for the women.
Monologue - Daines defends Yale admission
Christian: Steve Higgins appearance. I assume the other guys are writers too (including McKay).
The View - Barbara Walters (Oteri) & panelists consider issues - Shannon as Viera
Christian: Hard to believe The View has been on TV for 27 years.
Scot: Tracy Morgan gets a signature role here - the rest is fine.
Mr. Peepers - Ferrell & Danes attempt to release Mr. Peepers back into the wild
Christian: Really nothing to do with Peepers at this point.
Scot: Ferrell nearly breaks - Peepers has a family? - Seems like it was built to retire the character.
Southern Gals - tourists Shannon, Oteri, Gasteyer on trip to France
Scot: Southerners are uncouth and uncultured, I guess.
Episode Seven: Rudy Giuliani
Christian: On the high side of average. Rudy is no Steve Forbes.
Scot: Overwhelmingly a recurring character night - Rudy seriously added some life to the proceedings.
Drifter Sid (Norm) is happy Mayor has declared NYC safe for hitch-hiking
Christian: Been a long way down for Rudy.
Scot: People are having fun so far. This is a good sign.
Mary Katherine Gallagher at Spelling Bee
Christian: This one is forced.
Scot: Rudy's kind of stealing Lionel Osbourne's schtick.
Friggin Guiliani - NYC cabbie (Rudy) complains to his passengers about Mayor Giuliani
Christian: Didn't do it for me. Only real joke is Giuliani being mad at Giuliani.
Scot: The celeb recordings are just as interesting as the sketch, which isn't bad at all.
Janet Reno's Dance Party - Rudy & Janet Reno fight
Christian: Rudy says he doesn't want her job. Later, he very famously wanted to be Trump's AG.
Perspectives - Lionel Osbourne supports Dinkins, Rudy joins the show
Scot: Last one of these, too - "That is not fantastic." - I think Lionel is getting grayer every time.
Episode Eight: Nathan Lane
Christian: Love Nathan Lane, but this one was disappointing. This show is made for him! "Additional sketch by Adam Sandler.”
Scot: One sketch, one short sketch, and a commercial after WU to go along with two songs and two Deep Thoughts. Weird, weird pacing.
Chess for Girls commercial
Christian: Is this happening today?
Scot: I totally feel this as the dad of a nine-year-old girl - very good recreation of actual toy ads.
History of Vaudeville - Weber (Lane) & Rose (Kattan) lean on ethnic stereotypes
Christian: No real joke here other than the stereotypes? You could easily do a sketch now making fun of SNL's stereotypes the way this one makes fun of vaudeville's.
Songs That Ruined Everything
Christian: The whole sketch is one long Old Takes Exposed. Almost none of these artists suffered reputational damage.
Scot: I mean, it's just a list of songs? And BAD's sales would indicate "Say, Say, Say" didn't ruin MJ's career in any way.
Miss Milo - theatre veteran Miss Milo (Lane) lectures dresser (Ferrell) about her craft
Christian: I don't get it. The words-spoken-to-joke ratio is way off.
Episode Nine: Helen Hunt
Christian: More on Kattan v. Norm.
Scot: Oh look, that Tina Fey girl is ice skating during the goodbyes.
The Culps - Christmas Caroling
Christian: So the joke is that the person behind the door doesn't want to see their caroling. What makes them think we, the people at home, then want to see it?
Scot: Same perspective as the New Hampshire Halloween sketch - It's the best one of these because it has a reason for existing.
Christmasoft - Bill Gates (Kattan) announces that Microsoft has merged with Christmas
Christian: Predicts the Gates divorce, so there is that.
Scot: I don't like these Gates things and they should stop.
Torturing Hanson - Ferrell & Hunt repeatedly subject musical guest to “MMMBop”
Christian: I liked this! They were good sports.
Scot: All premise. And a thin one at that.
Episode Ten: Samuel L. Jackson
Christian: Much like S22, mired in mediocrity. Nothing appalling, but no big swings.
Bill Clinton plans to make a kick-ass movie with budget surplus
Christian: Perfectly average.
Scot: First Clinton direct-to-camera in forever - Pretty much fine.
Jazzterpieces documents the rocky career of musical couple (Jackson) & (Gasteyer)
Christian: Nothing even close to a laugh to be found. And overdose jokes seem a bit too soon after Farley's death.
TV Funhouse - “George Clooney” - Speed Racer George Clooney dodges press
Christian: All for taking insufferable celebrities down a peg, but it wasn't any better than so-so.
Scot: There's a lot happening here and it's all good. Merging different stories, puncturing both media obsessions and celebrity self-importance.
Fifth-class passengers (Jackson & Meadows) wait to be evacuated from Titanic
Christian: Strong. Has a beginning, middle, and end and makes a funny point.
Scot: Really good workmanlike sketch. This kind of feel is missing from a lot of shows this season.
The Learning Annex can help you become a joyful, germ-free fake preacher - Helen Madden, Joyologist recurs
Christian: Written by Cindy Caponera.
Scot: Utterly forgettable.
Poolside Lovin' on Playboy Channel - dad’s death leaves Kattan not in the mood
Christian: Promising premise, but yes, ultimately irritating.
Scot: I don't want to hear "get it on" for at least a week.
Episode Eleven: Sarah Michelle Gellar
Christian: Michael Schur joins the writer's room. With McKay, Schur, and Fey there, this might be the most successful post-SNL writer's room ever.
Dysfunctional Family Dinner - tense dinner among family members, Ferrell drives a Dodge Stratus
Christian: Could anyone but Ferrell do this? I am a division manager!
Scot: I like it a little less than I remember, but a point for being something so very different among the repeat characters and celeb stuff.
Road To Nagano - Michelle Kwan and Tara Lipinski skate
Christian: Blades of Glory preview?
Scot: It pretty much comes down to the crude skating, which doesn't do much for me.
The Robin Byrd Show - anti-porn crusader (Gasteyer) infiltrates panel
Christian: This was a real show.
Scot: This? recurring? - Shirtless Tim Meadows alert.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - plot shift will fill the Seinfeld void
Christian: Meh.
Scot: Decent job aping some of the characters' moves - I could've gone for a full-length sketch.
Tiger Beat's Ultra Super Duper Dreamy Love Show
Christian: Yelling = Comedy!
Scot: Didn't we just kinda do this with the CEO magazine?
Episode Twelve: John Goodman
Christian: An over-3 graded episode! First in a while. The Clinton scandal has given the writer's room life.
Scot: With Downey gone, I wonder who's helping Quinn with WU? - A pretty solid show.
Linda Tripp (Goodman) wears a wire during meeting with Monica Lewinsky (Shannon)
Christian: Again, the benefit of a live show - this stuff just happened a week prior.
Scot: The Lewinsky scandal arrives to save the day - I think Goodman has said he regrets playing Tripp like this.
Morning Latte - chatter of Tom & Cass eventually causes (Goodman) to snap
Christian: Goodman being the conscience and telling them not to call Lewinsky fat doesn't help. They are clearly doing it to be mean.
Scot: Some mean fat jokes at Lewinsky's expense. They also bring back "you stupid bitch," which I'm not a fan of.
The 7th Commandment - at Mount Sinai, Bill Clinton seeks clarification
Christian: Given how quickly they slapped this together, this might be an all-timer.
Scot: Did not remember this one at all, but it hums.
Judge Judy - Gasteyer claims that Irwin Mainway’s (Aykroyd) toys are dangerous
Christian: A two-decade old recurring character!
Scot: Abandoned refrigerator time machine - It's a better Mainway than his last guest spot.
Sabado Chistoso - William Ginsburg makes his plea on a Hispanic show
Christian: Had to be a joke on the fact Ginsburg did all the Sunday morning shows the week before, inventing the "full Ginsburg."
A cobra terrorizes airline passengers Goodman and Gasteyer
Christian: Snakes on a plane! Is the coda meant to make you think you, too, have been bitten by venom?
Scot: Holy cow, this conclusion goes on forever. Probably takes it down a notch.
Storytellers - Neil Diamond (Ferrell) performs songs & reveals his secrets
Scot: Love that "America" is about how he hates immigrants - A totally random gem.
Episode Thirteen: Roma Downey
Scot: Norm is there for goodnights to kiss Downey and then walks off the stage.
Monica Lewinsky (Shannon) addresses Congress regarding Bill Clinton
Christian: The cutaways were good enough to make this just fine. Prescient - predicted on the spot that Clinton's approval ratings would actually go up after the scandal.
Scot: Weird having extras play Gore and Gingrich - relying a lot on cutaways for the laughs.
Catherine the Great’s (Downey) denies of horse affair
Christian: All premise - the jokes are weak.
Scot: Going for Clinton parallels but mostly falls flat.
Riding My Donkey Political Talk Show
Scot: Unpredictability and absurdity make it a winner.
Fran (Oteri) bitter at cousin's wedding
Christian: Is this a stereotype of women from Delaware?
Scot: Total failure to launch. I'm uncomfortable, not laughing.
Lou's Lovely Daughters - cousin Tina (Downey) gives man-getting tips to Lou’s Lovely Daughters
Christian: Precursor to the future Kristin Wiig "one ugly sister" bit.
Scot: No Stallone, but the bit must recur anyway. It's the law.
Episode Fourteen: Garth Brooks
Scot: Two game shows parodies, two talk show parodies. Yet, I sincerely enjoyed almost all of this episode. Garth was incredible as a host.
Bill Clinton phones Saddam Hussein (Ferrell) & Monica Lewinsky (Shannon)
Christian: This one is on a lot of highlight reels.
Scot: Great mix of actual events, invented narrative, and randomly throwing in Meadows.
Brooks tries to fit in with real cowboys Ferrell, Breuer, Meadows
Christian: Good on Brooks for making fun of the biggest criticism of him at the time.
Scot: Pretty much one joke, but it's a decent one.
Mango - host’s career goes downhill after he falls under the spell of Mango
Christian: The runtime of this sketch was longer than it took to write it.
Scot: Note for note the same sketch again.
Oprah - Monica Lewinsky talks about giving Bill Clinton oral sex
Christian: Haven't there been enough examples of a cast member eating during a sketch for them to realize it slows things down?
Old French Whore - prostitutes & high school students team on game show
Scot: Molly has some Gilda in her - Tina Fey wrote this.
Who's More Grizzled - Brooks & Robert Duvall compete
Christian: Could probably come up with a strong list of Gen X sayings for this today.
Scot: This is fun and Garth acts his ass off in this thing.
Hey, Remember the 80s? - Brian Setzer (Kattan) & Kevin Rowland (Brooks)
Christian: Any mercy I was willing to show it was gone when Captain Lou Albano showed up and he didn't have rubber bands pinned to his face. A good joke opportunity missed.
Scot: Not as abysmal as the others and "Soy Bomb" guy gets a point.
Trapped moviegoers endure endless stream of trailers
Christian: All escalation. Could have had a better ending.
Scot: Hey, remember when endless previews were a problem to be solved?
Lay Lady Lay - Ferrell visits Robert Duvall’s hospital bed to sing “Lay Lady Lay”
Christian: Points for weirdness, but I didn't love it.
Scot: The two recent Ferrell 10-to-1s are better evidence of how good he can be. Now they're using him.
Episode Fifteen: Scott Wolf
Christian: The credits misspell Michael Schur's name as "Shur."
Scot: Lower-end episode. Big Breuer night in terms of appearances, not in terms of laughs.
Third Annual Reenactment Awards
Christian: Contains a brief clip of "What's Goin' On," which means nobody will ever see it in reruns again. A gift to future viewers.
Scot: I chuckled at the first set of nominees, getting the joke. But that's all there is.
Issues - Jeff’s cousin (Wolf) is a "first-time guest"
Christian: Jesus Christ.
Scot: Keep it.
Episode Sixteen: Julianne Moore
Christian: Definitely better than any stretch of S22.
Scot: OK, I'm calling it. Late-season surge is upon us. E14 also strong and 13 and 12 both had good parts.
Gloria Stuart (Oteri) performs Titanic scene to upstage Oscar rival host
Scot: Cheri's really good here.
Christian: Indeed, one of Oteri's best moments on the show.
Delicious Dish - cultist (Moore) invites Margaret Jo & Terry to join sorghum farm compound
Christian: Moore is amazing in this.
Pretty Living - joyologist Helen (Shannon) is guest
Christian: Maybe it's just the mood I'm in, but I actually like this Shannon character.
Scot: This appears to be a new Attitudes and it's just as successful.
Art Class - nude model Terence Maddox (Ferrell) grosses out those trying to sketch him
Christian: When he started grating the cheese, I started laughing so hard my dog came in to see if I was okay.
Scot: Ferrell successfully doing his thing. The character is repulsive yet sophisticated.
Good Morning with Liza - Gillian Anderson (Moore) & Joel Grey (Kattan)
Christian: It's bad. Side note: I always get Gillian Anderson and Julianne Moore mixed up - for a second I thought Moore was playing herself. Double side note: Anderson is British, so Moore gets the voice wrong.
Scot Hey. It's another Talk Show. - Just realized this actually is recurring.
Episode Seventeen: Steve Buscemi
Christian: Perfectly average. Dare I say, it suffered from...a lack of recurring characters? (Only 3 tonight.)
Scot: Might have to rescind that call. Let's give it one more week. - I have this feeling like writers just expected Buscemi to sell the hell out of the material and make it work. That was the plan.
Morning Latte - Hosts talk to biggest Grease fan
Christian: Isn't good or bad, it just is.
Scot: Best Catch Phase: "You stupid bitch!"
Goth Talk - the Prom of Doom is held in the high school boiler room
Christian: These pieces are all contrast - The preening, moody insular world of goth versus everyday life. Would you have Ferrell in your sketch knowing he was going to be WAY better than you?
Judge Judy - hip-hop dance instructor is sued
Christian: Not as good as the first one, but still pretty good. Enjoyed the "White Tornado." If we gave out awards for "best extra work," it would be the black guy in the audience behind Buscemi.
Scot: Quality decline from the first one.
I Took a Gay Guy to Prom
Christian: Kids today would have no idea why this was supposed to be funny.
Scot: Another all-female sketch that doesn't click.
Episode Eighteen: Greg Kinnear
Christian: Ferrell short on feature bits the last two weeks and it shows.
Scot: With only one song and Update now essentially 4-5 minutes, show is even more reliant on sketches to fill the time.
Name That Dog - game show
Christian: Meadows' excitement is good. My friends and I used to play "guess that girl's name" in bars, which forced us to go up and talk to her to find out the answer. Surprisingly effective.
Scot: Not sure if it would have been better or worse if a contestant happened to get one right. As it is, a fun, silly premise.
House of Dogs - Thurmond Sykes (Morgan)
Christian: Most dog-centric episode ever? What is the joke here?
Scot: Crossover was OK, but not much meat on the bone here. And the "Happy Fun Ball"-esque crawl wasn't great.
The Plank - Captain Kidd (Bob Hoskins) makes (Ferrell) walk a really, really long plank
Christian: Absolutely nothing past the premise.
Scot: Why is Bob Hoskins around? Is this Season 11 with random celebs dual-hosting these shows? - Not a great end, but the rest of it was fine.
Former Hosts of Later Reunion
Christian: There's no way Marc Maron was famous in 1998.
Scot: Pretty much a throw away. With Bob Hoskins!
Episode Nineteen: Matthew Broderick
Christian: Special guest: Jack Black, the greatest SNL cast member that never was.
Scot: "Hey. We're all out of ideas. What can we bring back a second time? Someone go look at old episodes!"
The View - the ladies fawn over George Stephanopoulos (Broderick)
Christian: I do think Oteri's Walters is getting better, Meadows-style.
Scot: Just not written for laughs. No actual room for jokes.
Viagra - Regis Philbin & men on the street says they don't need Viagra
Christian: Why is the Ladies' Man in this? We just heard him do this joke 30 minutes ago.
The Celine Dion Show - Shania Twain (Shannon) & Gloria Estefan (Broderick)
Christian: This probably worked great in Gasteyer's mirror. I don't believe Gloria Estefan has an accent?
Scot: Recurring! - I hate the premise. I hate the execution. I hate the idea we'd care about Celine Dion for any reason. She was a bore.
Tenacious D performs “The History of Tenacious D” & “Double Team”
Christian: The Tenacious D show was running on HBO at the time and I was an early adopter. I am a huge fan, but this performance is a bit subdued and the audience has no clue what is happening.
Scot: Funny song followed by ... more funny songs. - Is it comedy? Is it a musical act (which we don't grade)? This is way, way before I recall Tenacious D on my radar.
Episode Twenty: David Duchovny
Scot: Coasting to the finish line on absolute fumes in the writers room. They're not out of jokes, but they are pretty much barren of new ideas about how to package them.
TV Funhouse - “A Hard One To Swallow” - The Ambiguously Gay Duo seeks origins
Christian: The real joke here is on the villains, Ace and Gary are perfectly happy.
Celebrity Jeopardy - Sean Connery, Minnie Driver (Shannon), Jeff Goldblum (Duchovny)
Christian: Duchovny's Goldblum is solid.
Scot: Connery reads "therapists" as "the rapists." - This is the start of Connery's ornery streak - Current U.S. Presidents as a category.
Puff Daddy - “Come With Me"
Christian: Diddy is actually a worse rapper than he is human being.
Oprah - Show on 1980s - Goat Boy is reunited with his brother (Duchovny)
Christian: I counted eight total Goat Boy appearances. Seven too many.
Scot: "Goat Boy #2" is a character. I think that's all you need to know.
The Golords - Golords battle James Cameron & his army of Leonardo DiCaprio clones
Christian: These were a satire of The Thunderbirds, a 1960s puppet show from Britain.
