The Ambiguously Gay Duo

TAGD IS BACK!!! I don't know how or why the skit was resurrected but I don't care. It's a classic cartoon and I've loved it ever since I first saw it on The Dana Carvey Show. That's right - it started on The Dana Carvey Show. Someday I should make a post about that show.

Anyways, it's back and aired on SNL (as well as Late Night). Here it is:


Review: I don't like the changing of Ace and Gary's voices. Colbert and Carrell had the perfect voices for the pair.

Sports Show - Roller Derby

Lately I've been enjoying "Sports Show with Norm MacDonald". It's not a talk show (which is good, they're too many of them) it's a kind of comedy show. It's basically "Weekend Update" but about sports.
A recurring segment is sending Norm's nephew Kyle out to a location to report on some event. Here's the latest one where Kyle visits the Roller Derby. I dare say "Kyle" is the master of the awkward interview.
