He's a god among men.

Yea he’s just a treasure.

I thought there were a couple great skits including the science teacher, clogged toilet, and the ketchup sketch, and the tacos ketch. I laughed pretty good.



Halsey is incredibly sexy but awful.

Yeah, man, the ketchup skit was probably my favorite. Driver just slayed that. But I didn't think this was an awful episode. Fairly mediocre with some great moments.

Because things like his opener, and just how natural he is with dealing with the SNL cast trying not to laugh while it doesn't get to him in the slightest... seems obvious he does have some improv training/background. He's so good at staying the course while everyone is breaking down around him.

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.
