Aaron Sorkin's infamous Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip debuted 20 years ago this fall. I talked with a group of contemporary comedy writers about why the show didn't work, but also why they're still obsessed with it: whatsalanwatching.com/anatom…

I went down a rabbit hole when I first saw this Dave Allen clip of a more famous Yes, Prime Minister gag. Some fascinating trivia in this thread.

With the news about the upcoming Dave Allen biopic on BBC2, I read about Dave Allen At Large. And in this edition from 1976, he tells a joke that is now most closely associated with Yes Prime Minister. See for yourself! Anybody with any info on this?

It’s important to remember the athletes of your favourite code admire and get along great with athletes of a code you think is dog shit and hate. Because athletes are not codewarz brained losers. They just like sport.

Every single U.S. president since Andrew Johnson (1865-69) has lived at some point during the life of Herbert Hoover (1874-1964). A future president would have to have born after 1964 to break this streak.
