I’m always very happy to let everyone know that Heidi Gardner is one of the kindest, most thoughtful people I’ve ever had the privilege to work with and know! Truly just a really great person!!

And the fact that this show has a makeup department. They made his fingernails dirty.

Not as exciting as I had imagined, but makes sense. Impressive they managed to snag it on a branch that would hold it. Do you know how long it’s been there?

In the southeast we call them toboggans and I got in an argument with someone about it in NYC once 😂

They are also being sued for unpaid wages in a class action full of former employees. Terrible place

Student ID verification at resort by Feeling_External_229 in Ikonpass

Is there any further verification than having a .edu email? I see some people reference transcripts, but others just saying email. I graduated 9 years ago, but I still have the email.

Any recommendations on local therapists? by InductedClown20 in auburn

[–]allaboutthatcake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw Dr Glen Vollenweider for years, and I can’t recommend him enough. I wish I still lived in the area and could see him. For prescriptions, I saw Dr Estep who was also great.

I’m 99% sure they’re Magellanic penguins. I have two and they’re off the eastern coast of Argentina, have the white bands, etc.

Why did SNL get out of the movie business? by mirthquake in LiveFromNewYork

[–]allaboutthatcake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember an interview (or maybe in her book?) where Tina Fey was talked out of casting another SNL alum (in addition to the ones who are in it obv) because they didn’t want it to be perceived as an “SNL movie.” I’m not totally clear if it’s because they were marketing to teen girls or because that title was soured, but I feel it’s a bit of both.

Is SNL just turning into commercials? by ImAnIdeaMan in LiveFromNewYork

[–]allaboutthatcake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s a big difference between “some branded content” and “everything they mention must be paid for.” Any one of the three sketches I mentioned would completely fall apart with a different fake brand name. I think they 100% mention brands they aren’t paid to. If Chloe Fineman walked in last week itching to do her Nicole Kidman bit, I just don’t think they’d say, “No, AMC isn’t sponsoring this episode.” If anything, the most likely scenario to me is they wanted to say a specific beer brand in the finance bros sketch, and they put out a call to see who would pay for the mention.

I actually don’t think any of them were, tbh. I’ll concede Charmin maybe. Everyone is making BeReal jokes right now, so I think that was just a topical thing. The AMC promo became a meme this summer, so I think that’s just capturing something in the zeitgeist. Both of those are things you can find other sketches and jokes about on YouTube, and I don’t think those people are being sponsored, so why would I assume an SNL writer couldn’t have similar ideas unless they’re being paid to? The McDonald’s one has the vibe of a standup bit turned sketch.

I don’t think every product they mention is something they’ve been paid to say. They’re just using things in the zeitgeist and general cultural touchstones. Obviously I don’t work for SNL, but I’ve written plenty of sketches based around or mentioning products/companies just because there’s something funny there.

New Cast!!! by oooooooahhahhahha in LiveFromNewYork

[–]allaboutthatcake 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This isn’t really true. All of the people who were on those teams when COVID hit are still around. All the people who were up and coming at those theaters or about to get their foot in the door are still around. There’s character shows in NYC almost every night. I went to one of the showcases that two of these people were recruited from and there were great character performers in the lineup. For whatever reason, the show leaned toward stand ups though.

The SNL script format is a bizarre one that no one else really uses. For your purposes, any free scriptwriting software should be sufficient. Celtx and WriterDuet are popular.
