In a past life I used to wake up every Friday morning in college to watch 30 Rock and immediately check The Fix’s latest senate election rankings.

Ye gods, man! Porky Pig doesn't wear any pants! Someone who flouts such a basic social convention as wearing pants wouldn't distinguish between a sister and a lover. Come on now.

Eric The Bed Humper.

Bill maher's interview with the blow job girl is one of the creepiest interviews ever.

B. Traven

Always forget that Bill Maher was based one time

Michael Warren

You’re too harsh on Jason Reitman — dude was on fire as a young director: Thank You for Smoking, Juno, Up in the Air, Young Adult…sure, he’s lost a lot of juice since then but you could say that about a lot of directors who were crash-hot when they were young and up-and-coming — William Friedkin, Peter Bogdanovich, George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola etc.

Alex Moore

It's gonna be the end of an era when this is over. I've been listening to the coverage of Studio 60 for months while traveling across the US. I have all these exciting memories connected to this shitty TV show now.

Jack Anderson

I think I know someone who knows someone who knows Jason Reitman so I'll try to make sure it gets back to him

Orn Pauldorf

it's pretty perfect how Maher's entire body of credibility, as you guys said, is tied up in a 2001 rant that, when you think about it, had no ideological content -- Bill was just being pendantic about the popular refrain that the terrorists were cowards. Maher's career-defining moment was just another "um actually..."

Alex

I always liked Willie Nelson’s version of Moonlight in Vermont best. I don’t know what that makes me, in the eyes of both Sorkin and Savage.

When you started describing Chris Clizza’s book I had to take a second because when I was 11 my mom got me a signed copy of Brian Kilmeade (from Fox and Friends) book called “The Games Do Count” which seems to be the same premise of sports and politics.

Oliver Crane

Bill Bradley was the Democratic alternative to Gore in the 2000 primary! Former basketball star. My dad liked him. No idea what his politics were.

Reilly Pehling

Bill Bradley was the ex NBA player New Jersey senator who ran as the liberal alternative to Al Gore in the 2000 primary. Kind of a weird donation from the poet laureate of Clintonism

“Mouthpiece Theatre” must be a parody of PBS’s Masterpiece Theatre, an anthology of British dramas, mostly from the BBC.

Geri Danton

I'd never heard of Moonlight in Vermont before. Listening to the Frank Sinatra version actually made me angry, and I like Frank Sinatra. Thank you for turning me onto the Oscar Peterson version.

Aren't hunting regulations a major part of Bugs lore? I remember "No Hunting!" signs being a plot point in many cartoons. So yeah, there has to be an overarching legal regime.

Sesame Street did a take on that. With Cookie Monster. Sounds like Cookie Monster did it far more successfully.

Julia

I came here to womansplain Bill Bradley but see others already came through.

If you ever want to go down a David A. R. White rabbit hole, watch a movie called Holyman Undercover. My theory is that he originally wanted to be a Hollywood actor, couldn't make it, then realized there was money to be made in Christian media, and used that as a way to *kind of* do the movies he wanted to do

Taylor

would love to hear a treatment on ‘looney toons: back in action’ with steve martin and brendan fraser. a go-to comfort movie for me

Chris Sherman

Politically Incorrect was on broadcast TV, at least in our “market.” I used to stay up late to watch it, it was pretty bizarre because of the mix of people who would be on there. The singer of 90s band Better than Ezra epically owned Christopher Hitchens one time, Hitch looked like he absolutely wanted to murder him. Sort of a forerunner of Twitter, I guess.

Bryce VandenHeuvel

Was the “wag of the finger” subconsciously inspired by the old Colbert “Tip of the hat, wag of the finger” segment or was that coincidental?

Ekaterina Sedia

Yes there’s nothing that says “I didn’t have a privileged upbringing” like the ability to take an unpaid internship

Eric

Nothing compares to what they’ve done to The Peanuts, Will. God is dead in The Peanuts’ U, where the only moral law is the unfulfillablilty of desire, and aspiration is cosmically punished. The comic Linus had a crush on a girl with Leukemia. Put that in a kids movie.

Johnny 5

I’m actually quite a bit sympathetic to Sorkin with respect to the mid 2000s culture. The Christian fascist right wing was overwhelming, and even though I am embarrassed that I got taken in by the New Atheists initially, it was kind of a natural response to the lunacy that surrounded us.

Jimmy McMillan

There are quite a few looney tunes shorts where they imply that the tunes are just actors playing characters. Like the cartoons where Daffy is arguing with the director because he wants to be the lead over Bugs. They are all work friends and acquaintances outside Warner Bros studio

sinesynced

I have to say, as a Sorkin neophyte, this series hasn't necessarily been the most personally interesting, but it has given me a tremendous amount of insight into the psychology of the most annoying people I knew in high school and undergrad (Sorkin adorers all)

Dan Port

Gettin' real concerned about the Macao deal.

Evan Hiltunen

Mouthpiece Theatre is no competition for MadTVs Master P’s Theatre

Evan Hiltunen

Also p sure one of the morning radio show voices was Jed Bartlet

Evan Hiltunen

Fuck I was commenting too actively. Fuck that Sinatra version of Moonlight. If you want the *best* lyrical version Bobby Womack from the Fly Me to the Moon album. Production on the whole record is kinda shit but Womack still shines through on everything, but especially on Moonlight!!! I’m done!

Nick Playfair

Please join me in demanding that Bugs Bunny release his long form birth certificate

I haven't seen it in over 10 years but from what I remember Up in the Air would be very good M&U fodder

DC

Any chance of an episode about the serie Mad men?

Tyler Sutherland

i love how low-key smashed Will sounds through most of the beginning thus far lol
