And then out of habit, several players fell down and pretended they had been shot (YOU are on the menu)

Ugh, I would kill for reviews that good (I don't read it for the articles)

It would have made a great episode of The X Files (I’ll just crash near a hospital)


September 2021

“Last year the Canadians came in and won it all, Schitt’s Creek’s swept all of the 2020 comedy awards, this year it was the English. It was a Brits-krieg this year, as half of the Emmys went non – dare I even say un-Americans. Even Ted Lasso had to move to London to win an Emmy this year.” —Jimmy Kimmel


“Even more telling, he added, was a dopey American interviewer in London who asked Gillian Anderson, who won the Emmy for best supporting actress in a drama for playing Margaret Thatcher on The Crown, if she talked to the former prime minister about the role. Anderson answered, politely, that she had not. The reason that she hasn’t is because Margaret Thatcher died in 2013. But it would have made a great episode of The X Files if she had spoken to her somehow.” —Jimmy Kimmel


“In other news, farm stores have not started to restrict sales of the livestock dewormer ivermectin, used by some hardcore anti-vaxxers as a Covid treatment despite debunking from health experts, to confirmed horse owners. For those who cannot get their hands on the horse-y sauce, the anti-vaxx crowd has been turning to monoclonal antibody treatment, an IV-hookup used to reduce symptoms of Covid. Pretty incredible people who don’t trust vaccines do trust being pumped full of lab-created antibodies. This is like sky-diving and instead of using the parachute you’re given, you’re like ‘yeah, I’ll just crash near a hospital.’” —Jimmy Kimmel

So now we have Cox versus Weiner. This just doesn't stop! (Get Off My Property)


June 2011

"The Chairman of the Republican Party Ed Cox said that he would use the incriminating pictures from Anthony Weiner to defeat him. So now we have Cox versus Weiner. This just doesn't stop!" –Jay Leno

That's their nickname because they always choke (You want to ride my broomstick?)


"Until last week it said on her online profile that she attended Oxford University, which of course one of the most prestigious colleges on earth. Stephen Hawking teaches at Oxford, Rhodes scholars go there. She didn't go to Oxford, which is a shame, because Oxford's rugby team is called the Fighting Masturbators. That's their nickname because they always choke." –Craig Ferguson
"Christine O'Donnell didn't go to Oxford. It turns out she took a class from something called the Phoenix Institute, which happened to be renting a classroom at Oxford. That’s like saying you're a TV star, but really you're just on CBS during the middle of the damn night." –Craig Ferguson
"I understand why Christine would want people to think she went to Oxford. Oxford has produced some legendary politicians. Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair, Bill Clinton went to Oxford. I'm sure Bill would remember Christine if he saw her at Oxford. 'Hey baby, I hear you're a witch. You want to ride my broomstick? Because if you don't, I'll do it myself, and that would be wrong.'" –Craig Ferguson

one of the top three wives he has had (four or five best known Americans)


     
"Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani is taking flack for statements he made last week in London. Giuliani gave a speech to a group of British conservatives, including Margaret Thatcher and told reporters, 'I'm probably one of the four or five best known Americans in the world.' 

A line that always works in the Admirals Club. Now, Giuliani only made this statement to keep his audience from drifting away. You see, at the time, onlookers gathered in the lobby to gawk at actor Dustin Hoffman who was on a separate visit. 

Oh, what a coincidence, Dusty. Those two have been at each other ever since Hoffman beat out Giuliani for the role of Tootsie [on screen: Giuliani dressed in drag]. 

On his meeting with Margaret Thatcher, Giuliani said, 'I think she's one of three people who changed the map of Europe.' The other two, of course, are Napoleon and Hitler. 

One thing is clear about all this -- Rudy Giuliani loves lists. In fact, he often refers to his wife Judith as 'one of the top three wives he has had.'" --Stephen Colbert
