How do you know Lorne's pissed off? I'm not blaming you, but that is
incompetent reporting by Steinberg. Lorne and the crew have 5 months to
prepare. And Lorne is no Kelly Ripa - NBC wasn't going to announce the move
without getting his agreement first.

It's exceedingly rare that I watch a whole episode any more, but if I have
the late local news on to watch game highlights, I sometimes stick around
to watch the cold open, monologue, and fake commercial. Two weeks ago the
fake commercial was for Preparation H. But they were not making fun of the
product, they were making fun of commercials for hemorrhoid products. It
made me wonder if it was product placement.
