Same concern haunts my household. This touched my heart.

The embed is correct, but the link in the text to the follow-up video relinks the first.

For anyone wanting a translation of the Wingdings on the end screen underneath “papyrus”, it reads, “THE WAY OF STEVEN”. You’re welcome.

Besides being funny, also great and classic epic storytelling. This sequel doesn’t only rehash - it takes us to new dimensions for the character. AND it sets up a part 3. Chef’s kiss.

So you go through SNL’s trash pile of sketches they deemed not airworthy.

And you shout “Look how bad this sketch is!”.

Last weekend they did one of the funniest skits they’ve pulled off in recent memory. Ryan and Mikey Day disrupt a taping of News Hour, and Heidi Gardner playing the host completely loses it, breaking character completely with infectious laughter that hits the entire cast!
