Reason # 5,367 to Love Will Arnett

A man who seizes every opportunity, no matter how small, to be hilarious. Forgive the quality, it is the only video I could find. From Sunday night's SAG Awards:

STEAL ALERT (WHOOP, WHOOP!)

So I was strolling through my local Best Buy, trolling the Digital Video Disc section, when what should I happen upon, but the "Steal of the Century". No, this is not a movie you have never heard of, well maybe it is, I dunno. Anyways, moving on. What I found was something so glorious, so awesome, so utterly amazing, I almost couldn't believe my eyes. A box of not one, not two, but three, count 'em three, classic movies for the low, low price of just $14.99. What movies, you may ask? Um, how 'bout the Money Pit, The Burbs and Dragnet. Do not adjust your monitors, you read correctly. Three of the funniest movies of all-time! These are each worth at least $14.99 on their own. I mean that breaks down to like just under $5 a movie! That breaks down to about, let's see, a fraction of a penny per laugh! Grab this while you can, I did! And now the wait begins for the Michael Keaton pack of Gung-Ho, The Dream Team and Mr. Mom!

"It's Always Something"

Question: Who was the first person cast as one of the Not Ready For Prime Time Players for the debut of Saturday Night Live in 1975?

Answer: Gilda Radner

Today marks the sad day that in 1989 the great Gilda lost her battle with ovarian cancer.

Gilda Radner is an absolute favorite of mine. She is remembered for many of her SNL characters. Weekend update correspondent Roseanne Rosanadana, the Barbara Walters’ inspired character Babwa Wawa, the nerdy teenager Lisa Lupner played brilliantly with former boyfriend Bill Murray, and of course another Weekend Update correspondent Emily Litella:





With NBC’s crackdown on YouTube there are not a lot of clips to be found, but you can see them on the NBC/SNL site. Some other funny bits I recommend you check out are Extremely Stupid with Candace Bergen, the hilarious Slumber Party all-female sketch, and my all-time favorite The Judy Miller Show -- I related to this one a little too much.

Gilda Radner was an amazing talent, a wonderful person and she will continue to be missed.
