It's difficult to see someone you love and care about sinking with the ship. I hope Mr. Meminger Sr. has a speedy recovery, and that the other affected families find shelter and comfort soon.
There are skeletons in every families closet. Noone is perfect. Please have compassion and consider what others may be going through when they don't behave exactly as you wish they would. You do not know what they are experiencing. These are trying times for everyone.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Lewis Dodley is such a gentleman. I have met him many times and was always impressed.

For this, Dominic will serve jail time, as he should. As for his name-dropping, hey, who doesn’t do that when they can? I use Rachael Ray’s name every time I go to my favorite Midtown restaurant.
Finally, Inside City Hall without Carter is just a waste of airtime. No one on NY1’s staff is capable of handling Al D’Amato and Edward I. Koch, except for Dominic Carter. He asks smart questions can hold his own with any guest and is generally on top of most of the New York City and State issues.
So he should serve his time, apologize, work things out with his wife, and get back to work.

Didn't you hear that all the sheet music for that Russian (?) chorus he's in went missing?

mediocre women: not success

In fact, Casey and Michaela should be glad they got the boot. Now they can find work on a show that's halfway decent.

I don't think Gilda's been in anything in years.

As I'm sure it was stated, plenty of dudes from SNL have disappeared more than most of the women. Michaela probably won't go this route because unlike a lot of ex-cast members--she's actually talented.

Now what? An hour-and-a-half of MacGruber?

1) In the world of performance comedy, SNL is the peak. That’s it. There is nothing else. What’s next? A guest spot on a show in the UCB theater under a Gristedes in Chelsea? It’s a pretty major smackdown for this to happen.
2) The wold of comedy is one of the most misogynistic fields of entertainment ever. It’s a boys club. You see a picture with 50% or more women in an improv group? That’s a student team. Go the pros, and suddenly it’s a sausage fest.
So this stinks because SNL, who is the vanguard and peak of performance comedy (see point 1) hasn’t gotten the memo that it’s 2009 and not 1989.
And yeah, the examples given of past female cast members who went on to something is just sad confirmation of this. Julie Sweeney gets on the radar more than others because she is a loon. Jan Hooks? Ellen Cleghorne? Essentially, they went from stars to obscurity pretty fast.
And Julia Louis-Dreyfuss? C’mon, let’s face facts. If it weren’t for Seinfeld 100% of nobody would know who she is or remember.
I miss the days when Fridays, SCTV and such were around. At least there were some other options.
And please, don’t point out small-scale improv shows like The Whitest Kids You Know. Because you know what? Even those are just a bunch of guys.

For some SNL is not the peak. For some SNL was a hell hole filled with cut sketches, crap writing and no exposure. Some people are glad to get out.

Get booted from booted from SNL and your whole career is held in contrast to being booted from SNL.
SNL is the peak. Everyone at UCB knows that.

But I like the little note she got in in - Michaels told her she should have her own show and she said, "I agree."
