    I went to Google Paul Chowdhry to see what else he's been in, and the number one recommended search with his name was "Is Paul Chowdhry for real?"

    And that somehow made me love him even more???

    If it helps that’s not how I’m watching it either.

    I've watched a good amount of random Taskmaster, but I'm joining the bandwagon and starting from the first season and watch one through from start to finish properly. Started off on Youtube, think I'm gonna finish there and just burn my free trial period of no commercials. Three month trial which is nice, I just need to cancel before the end date. Now the game begins.

    Everyone starting Taskmaster last month makes me feel that much more justified in watching it last spring.

    2nd episode of Hawkeye was funnier than the first

    The fight sequence had zero sense of style. (Yes, I know) This is going to bug me the entire series probably

    I love Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop. Renner as Barton is decent, but the character is saddled with emotional baggage which isn't playing to Renner's strengths (so far)

    If you ever need a reminder to take life as it comes and make the best of whatever comes your way...

    Remember that, since Homer Simpson took over ownership of the team, the Denver Broncos have been undefeated against the Dallas Cowboys.

    In fairness, it is probably difficult to properly utilize his keen skills as an app developer in a TV series.

    While I love Joe Wilkinson so much I still think series 7 is the best overall cast, even giving Phil a heavy discount. It’s just chaos. All the time.

    For Taskmaster fans, also check out the outtakes (they are not on the official channel sadly, but this channel seems to post them all):

    Example (Non-spoiling as it was an unused tie-breaker Task for Mark Watson so never made the broadcast and is not scored):

    speaking of Letterkenny, I think the first two seasons of it are quite good but season 3 is when the show really hits its stride imo

    So the native writers on Rutherford Falls are running Ed Helms Twitter account for a week and it's been really cool seeing all the stuff & people they're promoting.

    But this is the best thing that's come of it. Edit- well not best obviously, but funniest

    If there’s any show at all that I would guess to have used that as a character name, it would have to be Sheep In The Big City.

    It's rez slang - do not feel even an ounce of guilt/age about not knowing it

    But to dissect a humor frog a little bit, I love Jana using her platforms to put rez stuff in front of people who might not otherwise see it. Some folks will ask what the slang means, some folks will look up other places it's been used, some folks will glean the meaning through context - but however folks get to the understanding, they'll have a moment of, "Oh, shit, there's rez slang! Reservations are contemporary, and full of people who do contemporary things like 'have slang.' That's rad!"

    She didn't give a TED talk, she didn't put footnotes on a Tweet. She just treated rez slang as any other slang, as contemporary and present and available to figure out for anybody else who wants to be cool.

    Jana fucking rules, is I guess what I'm saying here and always.

    Season 2 of How To with John Wilson started tonight on HBO Max, really enjoyed the first episode, he's just got such a good eye for stringing together the bonkers footage he manages to get.

    Its wild how universal the slang is too. Me, a dumb dumb, thought that skoden was a specific regional thing to my small Albertan town.

    It's always great to hear it on the teevee!

    Hollywood Reporter has an interview up with the author of an oral history of HBO: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/tinderbox-hbo-book-james-miller-interview-1235048630/

    Mostly a fluff-piece, but I think this is the first time I've seen allegations about Misha Green's toxic workplaces in print. There've been whispers for years, but I believe this is the first time anything's gone public.

    Oh i saw an article a week or so ago that has some quotes about that. Didn't know if was from an upcoming book.

    That's disappointing

    More Letterkenny thoughts: I feel bad for these ladies who have to sit in the shot while Betty Ann and Mary Ann are insulting each other. Having to keep straight faces while those two throw nuclear barbs at each other has to be rough.
