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.

I’m curious to see Davis. His autobiography painted a fairly chaotic picture.

Vanessa Bayer
Aidy Bryant
Cecily Strong

They're all at least 7/10 (Bayer is maybe the strongest of the three) but I think McKinnon is at least 9/10.

I think it has to do with music licensing, which has been a constant challenge for them in the streaming era. Both performances and skits that rely on licensed music are problematic for international markets; a lot of time the original song in a skit will get changed for streaming or syndication.
