It was the Shot Heard ‘Round the World 3.0, only blocks from the original Polo Grounds where the New York Giants won the 1951 National League pennant with a walk-off home run (and 215 miles from the 1775 Battle of Lexington and Concord). Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted Donald Trump for colluding with Russia shaking down Ukraine attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election inciting a coup tax fraud real estate fraud failing to report a payment to a paramour. Someday our grandchildren will ask us: “Where were you when they indicted the president?” (For posterity: Dan was eating Burger King with his daughters, Joely and Mila, and nephew and niece, Boaz and Kayla; Tanvi was Sudoku’ing).

"SNL" was where we got to know him, though, and it turns out that getting on the show was important to Myers because of original "SNL" cast member Gilda Radner.

If you’ve ever wondered what happened to those teens who fainted when they saw Elvis Presley back in the 1950s, Saturday Night Live has your answer. They’re in a retirement home in Florida, still throwing their panties on the stage for… something resembling Elvis?
Leave it to Sarah Sherman to take a hackneyed premise like “Jewish Elvis” and turn it into a raucous, gross and hilarious affair. Ego Nwodim, Cecily Strong and this week’s guest host, Austin Butler, are grandmothers in the audience of their home’s evening entertainment with a granddaughter played by Chloe Fineman. Props...
