I’m generally late to the game when it comes to pop culture. I first heard about the show The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel when watching the Golden Globes. Then I saw a deal where it was available to stream for free one weekend so I decided to give it a try. Actually, it’s free for Amazon…

For those who know me, I’m a huge fan of Saturday Night Live (SNL). One of my dreams, along with sitting in the Black Hole at a Raider game, is to watch a taping of SNL, but I’ve never been able to get tickets. I guess wearing my SNL hat will have to do until…

I was watching this guy on TV several weeks ago. Pretty good ventriloquist with funny material. Personal fun fact: when I was young, I tried to pick up ventriloquism by reading books. I didn’t get very good, so instead, I learned to juggle.

I cringe every time Jet Li opens his mouth in these American films. I’m embarrassed for him, but at the same time, it makes me chuckle. His first line in The Forbidden Kingdom after a long fight scene: No, Fool! Why do I write this now? Because I’m watching Kiss of the Dragon on TV…
