I’ve enjoyed season 51 of Saturday Night Live, with many of my favorite sketches coming from the Melissa McCarthy episode. However, my top 3 feature Josh O’Connor, Miles Teller, and Sabrina Carpenter. Let’s Find Love This sketch crept up on me, and I’ve already watched it multiple times. It’s basically just a quirky character sketch, … Read more
I had a very funny moment last night with a few friends when we realized we had something odd in common (and you may too). In the house I grew up in, we ate dinner as a family every night. You might think that the room we ate in was the dining room–that makes sense … Read more
One of the reasons I love the Bad Dates podcast is that it provides a nearly universal conversation topic.

For a while I didn’t think twice about these postcards. I was curious about other buildings in my neighborhood and … Read more
I’m new to the Taskmaster show, and you might be too, so I’ll give you a quick overview from what I understand of it: Taskmaster is a British show in which a few comedians are given weird tasks to complete. The show jumps between clips of the contestants individually attempting the tasks and the TV … Read more
Saturday Night Live has been back on air for a few weeks now, impressively recorded on the main stage with plenty of safety precautions in place. I liked a few of the sketches from the previous two weeks (including the Canadian News Show sketch), but this was the first week that featured 3 standouts, in … Read more
The other day I was watching an episode of the new season of Pen15 when I found that I couldn’t stop smiling and laughing. There was a subtle ongoing joke that just hit the sweet spot for me, one that I really just hadn’t thought much about before. In season 2, episode 6 of the … Read more
