The movie is about the lead up to the first episode and the show Berle
wasn’t even in the first season. It’s more likely that the Berle character
is a straw man for comedians of a previous era.
And I await the critical review that says Simmons doesn’t have the penis to
play Milton Berle.
On Sun,
I'm interested in the fact that they're going to deal with the Milton Berle
episode--and I wonder if Simmons has the, um, endowment that Berle was
famed for.
And who's playing Don Pardo?

The names I recognized off the top of my head (along with Simmons, Wolfhard,
and Batiste): Cooper Hoffman is the son of Philip Seymour Hoffman (and was in
"Licorice Pizza"); Rachel Sennott starred in and co-wrote an R-rated comedy
called "Bottoms" that I really liked last year; Lamorne Morris wa
Oh BTW, Carlin's estate is suing over the AI Carlin Youtube video by

I have to wonder if the thing that keeps him going is his absolute lock on NBC
late night. I’d guess that the network would look for a way to get ownership of
all of those hours back, the way CBS took the 12:30 slot away from WWP (even if
Colbert seems to co-own that now).

The biggest question will be if NBC keeps Broadway Video as the production
company for SNL after Lorne is gone. If they don’t the network can empty
out all of the staff offices and let a new EP start from scratch. They can
also slash the budget, cut back on the number of cast members, and the

SNL's problem has always been good writing (even in the early days), LOTS
of consistently good writing.
Also, experience outweighs youth in my opinion.
I'm reminded of a taping of* Everyone Loves Raymond* I attended. I got to

That was I who said that, and I am old enough that Tina Fey seems like a
young woman to me. She is not too old to do the job, obviously, since the
guy she would be replacing is older than dirt. But she is too old to be a
young, hip producer of new and subversive forms of comedy. I think that is

I concur with your resentment, but I also understand the thought behind the
ageism. SNL has to cultivate a younger and more diverse audience if it is
going to survive while still not totally alienating its older viewers. I
think Michaels struggles with this, and I think Fey would struggle with it,
I'll just add that I resent someone saying that at 53, Fey is too old for
the job.

Lorne’s superpower was that nobody at NBC would mess with him. Once he’s
out of the picture the new showrunner will have to answer to all of the
network’s executives. It’s a wonder the show lasted as long as it did with
him and it won’t last long without him.

behind-the-scenes of the weeks before the NBC late-night institution began
its run--Gabriel LaBelle, who played the Spielberg stand-in in "The
