Larry David broke so hard on ‘SNL’ he just gave up and laughed openly

Ah, the Saturday Night Live break. When shit just gets so weird on the set of the sketch comedy series that a performer — usually, but not always, the guest host — just starts laughing.
So it was with Larry David this week. The sketch itself is fine: David is a newly married rich dude whose wife — an unrecognizable Cecily Strong — is some kind of influencer in the gay club scene. But by the end of the sketch, David can’t keep up with the script’s fast-paced lingo… so he loses it.
But here’s best part: He never really recovers. For roughly the final minute of the sketch, it’s just David laughing through line after line while the other SNL cast members struggle to keep things grounded — and fail. Read more…

There’s a lot to like about this Weekend Update sketch on Saturday Night Live, but really, the best of it comes when Mikey Day and Alex Moffat trot out their always-hilarious impressions of Donald Trump’s elder sons, Don Jr. and Eric. In related news, Fun Dip is about to be popular again.
As funny as the Trump Bros are, don’t overlook the real fire in this sketch: Michael Che’s searing takedown of President Trump. I’ll let the quote speak for itself; it’s a good one.
“If you want to live-tweet Morning Joe or Cupcake Wars or whatever else you watch, fine. But indictments are important and you work for us — so go put on your baggy suit, fold your hair nice, and answer all of our questions face-to-face like the public servant that you are.” Read more…

Saturday Night Live is lucky to have Aidy Bryant.
With Sean Spicer out on his ass — and Melissa McCarthy’s spot-on impersonation now a thing of the past — Bryant has stepped in on SNL as the new faux-White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders. And she’s perfect.
Bryant nails Sanders’ southern drawl and dry wit in this White House press conference sketch, which suggests that the IRL press secretary draws her strength from an unlikely, but totally fitting, source: Demi Lovato’s “Confident.” Read more…

What was the deal with Mike Wheeler in ‘Stranger Things 2’?

In the grand tradition of sequels everywhere, Stranger Things 2 had more of everything – more demogorgons, more Will, more Steve being a good guy, more Hopper being Hotper (I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I knew as soon as I said it).
The one exception? Mike Wheeler.
In Season 1, Mike wasn’t just part of the gang – he was the guy, around whom much of the action revolved. He was the dungeon master and ringleader; he was Eleven’s closest friend and ally; he was brother of Nancy, another key character.
This season, though, Mike takes a significant step back. He’s still there, but his position in the story is much less prominent. He doesn’t even really get a plotline to call his own. He’s a supporting player in Will’s storyline and a distant motivating force in Eleven’s. Read more…

Perhaps you just completed season 2 of Stranger Things, and now you’ve got questions.
Welp, that’s not why we’re posting this right now.
Rather, we just want to point you to this really great tweet from actor Avery Monsen drawing a parallel between Dustin, the show’s most lovable character, and an internet icon:

For what it’s worth, Netflix has since weighed in on the theory: Read more…
