Over the weekend, 30 Rock was filled with celebrities who were celebrating Saturday Night Live’s 50th. What happens if you put a lot of people in a packed room these days? COVID! And SNL was no different.
Steve Martin revealed two of the people who came down with it. “Maya had Covid. Marty has Covid. I wonder why? The SNL 50th Covid curse is real.”
Because Short tested positive, they have to reschedule this weekend’s date until October. It is not all bad news for those who were supposed to because Steve promised them, “I think we’ll be funnier then, anyway.” As if they could get any funnier than they already are.
When it comes to “the SNL 50th COVID curse,” Martin has not said anyone else who got it. But with so many older legends there, like Garrett Morris, Cher, Lorne Michaels, Jack Nicholson, Paul Simon, Paul McCartney, Meryl Streep, Jane Curtain, Bill Murray, Billy Crystal, and Steve Martin, who were there, I hope it was none of them.
I don’t know about you, but I already thought that Prime Video picked up a second season of the surprise hit Jury Duty. However, they didn’t.
That is until now. And the hidden camera prank sitcom has already been filmed outside of the courtroom. According to what sources told Deadline, “the theme of the new installment is David vs. Goliath. Taking inspiration from classic 1980s movies such as Animal House and Caddyshack, it is about a small business going on a company retreat, with the real, unsuspecting person tested when a Goliath suddenly shows up.”
Prime Video has not confirmed any of the details, so we don’t know anything more than that. I just hope they announce a premiere date soon because I can’t wait to watch.
Before Jeremy Allen White had an alcoholic mom on The Bear, his mom was a racist on Law & Order. He looks the same now as he did when he was 16 on that 2008 episode.
Tonight at 10p on CBS, Matthew Broderick and his son, James Wilkie, will guest star on Elsbesth.
Broderick plays Lawrence Grey, a man who helps kids get into the colleges of their parents’ choice for a hefty fee. So, when one of his past students becomes the admissions officer at the top college, he thinks he has an in.
However, it is quite the opposite. He refuses to let any of Grey’s clients in. If that happens, then Lawrence will be out of a job.
Therefore, Lawrence comes up with a plan to kill his former student, and he is successful. But will he be able to outsmart Elsbeth (Carrie Preston)?
Along with trying to solve the case, Elsbeth questions if she did enough to help prepare her son for college and life afterward. And Teddy is still trying to figure out his dynamic with his sweet but over-caring mom.
While Elsbeth is having problems with her son, Matthew is not having any issues starring alongside his son, James Wilkes. The younger Broderick plays a success trainer in Grey’s company.
I hope the two of them continue to work together, maybe in Ferris Bueller 2? On that note. If you ever wondered what would have happened to Ferris, this episode gives you an idea. At least, that is how I felt while watching him because I felt like I was watching that character all grown up.
When it comes to the episode, it hits another endearing homerun. Preston is just so lovable; you can’t help but adore her and the police procedural, which, in case you missed it, will be back for a third season.
