My wife is in a Facebook group called Buy Nothing where people list stuff theyโ€™re giving away. The other day, a lady came to our house to pick up two granola bars that we didnโ€™t like

When I took improv 101 in 2013, there was a guy who would make every single scene about a high school reunion. Made me feel like he took the class just to prepare for any possible scenario that could happen at an upcoming high school reunion

The "bad guy" role in "Billy Madison" was originally written for Bob Odenkirk. Studio turned it down. Phillip Seymour Hoffman auditioned. Sandler loved his performance. He called him and PSH said, "I don't want to do it. I just don't want to."

Tina Fey and Amy Poehlerโ€™s live show has a lot of moving parts but most impressive is that they do stand up - because Poehler said they should try something new on tour - and Fey is jaw on the floor, next level funny. There really is nothing she canโ€™t do comedically

I'm a firm believer that Bobby Moynihan is the most underrated cast member in SNL history. From 2008-17, he made every sketch he was in better. So, I decided it was time he get a Best Of. This is "The Best Of Bobby Moynihan" (1/15)

The coolest thing SNL could do during the writerโ€™s strike is pay homage to the showโ€™s great writers by airing their โ€œBest Ofโ€™s.โ€ Iโ€™m thinking Best of Conan, Best of Smigel (which does exist!), Best of Paula Pell, Best of Julio Torres, Best of Jack Handey, Best of Tina Fey, etc
