    I know that I probably belong to a very specific demographic here (fat millennials), but having the Kenan and Kel reunion followed by the Arby’s commercial was 10 minutes of perfect television.

    This whole episode has been a blast. Keke Palmer is amazing.

    Insight into Kel's failed SNL audition the same year Kenan had his.

    Love this monologue. Say what you will about her later years, but Kirstie Alley was a great comedic actress.

    O brought this up on the RIP thread. This is an all-timer among monologues.

    According to the handy, dandy SNL archives, Kelsey Grammer has since gotten his chance to host twice. The only members of the core Cheers cast who never got the chance were John Ratzenberger and Shelley Long.

    Harrelson: 4 host, 3 cameo
    Wendt: 2 host, 9 cameo
    Grammer: 2 host, 1 cameo
    Alley: 2 host
    Danson: 1 host, 1 cameo
    Perlman: 1 host, 1 cameo

    Good stuff. Pretty surprising Danson only hosted once. Maybe just wasn't his thing.

    NBC cancelled "Mr. Mayor," but I'm surprised they didn't have him on then, or during the run of "The Good Place." Maybe he and Lorne just run in different circles, yeah.

    I'll throw this grenade in there ... How about Herschel Walker as guest host?

    That just hammers it home again how bad Shelley Long's career move was to leave Cheers. Her number would have come up for sure had she stayed relevant.

    Wasn't the knock on Long that she was a pain to work with?
