    He’s apparently gotten successful enough to hire a stylist since that one. I’ll have to check it out.

    I now remember the first bit of his I saw. About playing golf with his wife. Good stuff.

    If they're gonna' go this route, SNL should just bite the bullet and have Shane Gillis guest host.

    Had to look Gillis up. Same as many who didn’t know Bargatze, I had never heard of him. Seems like an apt comparison.

    Guessing the actors strike has a lot to do with the current choices.

    I never know who’s gonna hit and who’s gonna miss as a host. Usually depends on the writing and how much they buy in. I’ve never been a Timberlake fan, but he went all-in and usually killed.

    I expected Travis Kelce to be awful and it turned out to be a great episode.

    Whomever this guy is, he has to be funnier than John Mulaney.

    I said what I said.

    YOU SON OF A ...!

    I like Mulaney. But I can also see how others might not. I mean, they'd be wrong, but I can see it. :D

    Nice little teaser for Saturday. Good touch with JAJ giving his best Vince McMahon "That's gotta be Kane!" impression.

    This place has gotten so soft. Back in the day you would have f-bombed me and I would have f-bombed you and we would followed each other around the board insulting one another. :D

    I fully acknowledge I may just not get Mulaney. Comedy is pretty subjective. There's people on this thread who don't like Davidson. They're idiots! But I can see it.

    I'm also sorta meh on Mulaney's silver spoon existence. Dude's parents were hanging in law school with Bill Clinton and his great-grandfather and great-uncle were both Congressmen. That's probably unfair on my part but dudes born on third base always get a side-eye from me.

    So's your face!

    I didn't know that about Mulaney. And his act makes perfect sense now that I do.

    I was told there would be no learning here.

    We'll just head back to the Mary Lou Retton jack and forget this ever happened!

    I enjoy the Broadway/musical montages they do in Mulaney's episodes, as well as the contributions he made with Stefan, but that's about it.
