No. Just confused.

That's stupid.
I think Lenny is referring to shrinkage.
What is shrinkage?

I watched Tracy Morgan's episode from last year the other night. That was fun. My favorite part was when he mispronounced Jane Krakowski's name at the end when he was thanking the cast/crew. She laughed it off and was so graceful about it that it was charming.

I always watch the "good nights". I like seeing how the cast/guests interact and would love to hear an open mike feed.

Have read all the books, listened to a lot of podcasts, and done the SNL tour. I even tried to get a gig on the show, on the sound crew, to no avail...

So I am a huge SNL dork. But I think it's the worst it's ever been right now, barring maybe the Dick Ebersol years.
I actually quite enjoy the Ebersol years. Sure there's rough stuff in there, but some real gems, as well.
Yea, the highs from the Ebersol years are excellent, but the lows are reeeeeally low.
But it's the only era that the word "fuck" made it on air.
Nope, Norm dropped one once during update. A big flew into his lip or something and he said "What the fuck was that?"
I thought that got bleeped.
I forgot about this one

Norm wasn't bleeped on the East Coast. He was already "on notice" for reasons I can't recall and he got the sack not long after that. I do remember that his last few Weekend Updates were painfully unfunny with practially no audience reaction.

I also remember a few years later, Cheri Oteri accidentally saying "shit" during her "old lady on the porch" bit when her mumu got caught on something, but that was a lot funnier.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Yea, I'll admit she was ok in Adventureland.
Panic Room is a terrible movie Lenny, come visit me some time and I'll give you something to block it out of your memory.

I like her a lot, but she seems like an odd fit for SNL. Could go well, or it could go like it normally does---which is terrible.

Real Talk: for those who dislike Leslie Jones... why is her one note comedy different or "less than" to you than Will Ferrell's one note comedy?

While the joke is always the same -- he's always playing a guy who is completely oblivious to how ridiculous he's coming across to other people -- he manages to create fresh versions of that character constantly. The guy from Stepbrothers is not the guy from Anchorman is not the guy from Casa de Mi Padre is not the guy from Talladega Nights. Leslie Jones is not doing anything like that, but I don't necessarily think it's her fault.
