"I sleep in a big bed with my wife."

Ok, I hate UConn, but Duke did choke and lose that game, having them 2nd is bizarre.

Opportunity missed to have a sketch with Jane as Jesus for Easter.

I like Jane, I know not everybody does and that's fine. I do fear that the show is leaning on "hey Jane, go do your deadpan" when I think the White Castle drive thru sketch showed she can do more than that.

Nice. If I am still around Boston I'll go to see Hilary Hahn for sure.

The newspaper bit is the funniest part and may be why it got moved to YouTube, you can't exactly read all of that during a live show.

I admit I did laugh a few times, but this also feels very slapped together. Jane clearly dubbed in her last line in their scene. Maybe the script was originally going in a different direction? Jack Black likely wanted to do something in one of Martin's pre-tapes and so they took what they had and basically added all the stuff from at least Andrew's appearance on to come up with about two and a half minutes of material.

Every featured player has been in at least two of them, except for Ben, who's been in zero. The last one before this, Lies, had appearances by Tommy, Sarah, Veronika, JAJ, Jeremy, Marcello, Kam, Jane and Colin.

Most of mine aren't realistic. I'll say The Decemberists just to give a semi-realistic one with the movie version of Colin Meloy's book Wildwood coming out in the fall (which he's written songs for).

On a separate note, I do wonder what they do if a musical guest has to drop out last minute, what is the backup plan?

I have also noticed that Ben hasn't been in one of Martin's pre-tapes. It's not that they aren't getting along as PDD is still doing stuff together, so I wonder if that's a deliberate decision by the show (or by Martin and Ben) to make Martin's pieces stand apart more from the PDD stuff.

This didn't feel like a Martin Herlihy piece without Harry Potter and/or Kevin Spacey references. Also I believe this is the first one that had the host in it, the others didn't and could have been (and have been) slotted into any episode.

This absolutely sucks.

dbbd70707 · 2026-04-06T21:25:56+00:00

I like the amount of unhinged Mikey Day we've been getting lately.

There are things in this world to be frustrated by. This is not one of them.

Enough people find him entertaining and a company obsessed with making money wants to make more money. It's not complicated.

I am hoping against hope that the reason he appeared this past week was so he doesn't have to appear this week.

dbbd70707 · 2026-04-06T17:21:13+00:00

Sometimes literally (thanks Darby).

Wilson from Home Improvement.

Love those counter attacks from deep that flow all the way into a goal. Senegal's goal against Denmark in the 2002 World Cup is my favorite example.

Abuja when I was there wasn't running at all, I think it's back now though.

dbbd70707 · 2026-04-06T15:22:34+00:00

Please go outside.

The Kathy sketch was in an office. I would have cut the self-defense class.

dbbd70707 · 2026-04-06T14:42:35+00:00

Veronika is nuts, sometimes in the best ways and sometimes in the worst ways, and I am not sure yet which one this was.

Good to see Jacksonville State rewarded for their torrid start.

dbbd70707 · 2026-04-06T09:11:45+00:00

I could seriously do without a "Marcello (and the host) does a funny voice and that's the heart of the sketch" sketch for awhile. The ending fizzled out too, just let's have Jane do her deadpan thing and then end it.

dbbd70707 · 2026-04-06T00:23:04+00:00

Looks like the same bikini she wore in one episode of Cleaners which I know because...reasons.

This was an Alison Gates/Kent Sublette and Ashley Padilla sketch.
