Does everyone at #SNL have a Lorne Michaels impression? Fred Armisen, Seth Meyers, and Bill Hader did theirs during their 2015 visit to the #SternShow. Watch the #SternShow interview: youtu.be/EFCrXp_02FQ

Shark jumping didn’t seem so strange all of a sudden
On November 8, 1980, ABC launched The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang, a Saturday-morning Hanna-Barbera cartoon that took the live-action Happy Days crew into pure time-travel chaos. Henry Winkler, Ron Howard, and Donny Most all returned to voice Fonzie, Richie, and Ralph Malph, joined by new characters Cupcake (a scatterbrained 25th-century girl with a broken time machine, voiced by Didi Conn) and the gang’s dog Mr. Cool (Frank Welker). Each episode opened with the group trying to get back to 1957 Milwaukee, only for Cupcake’s malfunctioning machine to dump them somewhere completely different—prehistoric times, pirate ships, ancient China, the far future, or even the Salem Witch Trials. With Wolfman Jack narrating and plenty of classic Hanna-Barbera energy, the series ran for 24 episodes across two seasons, giving 1980s kids a weird, fun spin-off that felt equal parts Happy Days and Saturday-morning sci-fi adventure. Stay cool. 👍 #HappyDays #RetroCartoon #SaturdayMorningCartoon #80sKidsRule

Shoutout to everyone who takes the battery cover off the remote and gives the batteries a little spin instead of changing them.

I guess Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle are prepping for the SNL post presidential election two years from now.

Something very grave is happening on NBC… Jamie Lee Curtis and Tea Leoni are on a devoid-of-laughs-but-filmed-in-front-of-a-live-studio-audience multicam sitcom and no one knows this but me and my mom

CUPERTINO. This next episode is on Sunday. It’s a ticking clock story. I love these. They’re Aristotle’s “unity of time” on steroids.
