Come on Down!
Features
Look up from your oatmeal the next time you turn TPiR on for background noise and you’ll see something different. When you hear "Come on down!" you might see high-fiving dude with Greek letters on his shirt screaming his way down the aisle as if he was at a kegger. The person at the top of the Plinko board might be wearing low-cut jeans and be sporting a "Bob Barker is Sexy!" shirt that barely reaches her belly-button.

Taking the L out of SNL
Features
That last word is the problem. Live. The implications of this word are tremendous. While being live helps SNL stay culturally relevant, it also causes hurried sketch writing, lack of rehearsal, and an overall unpolished feeling to the entire show.

The Bastardization of Elmo
Entertainment
Elmo with Bill Irwin, one of the Mr. Noodles (the special was taped after the other Mr. Noodle, Michael Jeter, passed away). Elmo with the Count. Elmo with Super Grover. More baby talk, more squeaking. It was enough to make me throw the remote at the television.
