Idiot box thread

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Cecily Strong leaving SNL.

Not surprising, but 😥
Surprising to me. Took me awhile to get that it wasn't part of the bit. :(
Sort of did a WTF double take while watching. Jost seemed so off during the segment and they skipped the holiday joke exchange (which I really look forward to) so I thought something was up. Then the end of show and internet confirmed.

What happened at the end of show? I was watching something else. Does the internet speculate on why she's leaving?

It was just time, 11 years and she's doing other stuff. Think she waited to break Kate McKinnon's episode record.

Also during Weekend Update they flashed the picture of Kate McKinnon and Aidy Bryant "in jail".

Decent homage to the original - "Harry Stone's daughter"! - I'll give it a few views to make up my mind.

I've been looking forward to this for long that I forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder.
I just now watched the 1st episode. Rauch doesn't work as well as how I imagined. Her Big Bang character will always be hard to beat. Her character should be able to grow. I'll watch.

I think it's one of those boxes with various prizes inside that kids use a joystick type thing to fish for the prizes.

I saw a little girl in one of those. Mom was freaked, but the kid was all smiles. I didn't stay for the removal.

I watched some of it, but got bored. An idiot in a claw machine is still an idiot. He claims to have spent $40M promoting the Big Lie. Haha.

The Ark

IMDb RATING 7.1/10

Follows the remaining crew of a spacecraft known as Ark One, who must become the best versions of themselves to stay on course and survive after experiencing a catastrophic event that caused massive destruction and loss of life.
Good debut.
Decent characterizations.
Exciting effects.
Engaging plot.

I'll give it more viewing.

I watched it the next morning....wasn't going to stay up just to watch a dubmass be humiliated on live tv. But I have to say he did a good job of it.zThe guy who used to impersonate Lindell also came on, attempting to rescue him from the machine. He had two pillowcases with quarters in them. Lindell never got out of the machine. And I think he should stay in there. Do all his pillow commercials from there. End them all with "god bless." If I owned the tv station that ad ran on I'd have a crawling (claw) feed at the bottom saying sometjomg like "this is hell in a bucket, folks."
