Bruce was right to fight for cancer boy, but Kevin was right to fight for $12k. Lorne was wrong to deny Bruce an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress.
His portrayal of Alice was riveting.

Robert Smigel, Bruce McCulloch, and Bob Odenkirk pitched hilarious show ideas to TV producers in their worthy quest to tap the under-realized potential of Tay Zonday (chocolate rain dude) and Brett Ambler (kazoo kid).
Odenkirk is an unstoppable salesman.

Andrew Daly joined Dr. Z, Dave Foley, and others as the late author L Ron Hubbard.
I somehow missed him on Paul F Tompkins Dead Authors podcast.

For decades, Catherine O'Hara did so many great things but SCTV is my foundation. It is my comedy lodestar. It sent me on my path in life. If you've ever laughed at anything I've ever been a part of, Catherine and her cohorts are in the DNA of that laugh.
