    He meant the Midnight Special. Midnight Express was about a Turkish prison. Though I can see the confusion--Wolfman Jack did seem like a sadistic prison guard.

    Tim Robbins actually did make that joke about GE in his monologue, but they had him "ignore" the cue cards(he told the guy to put them away) and after he said the word "death" he gets called back to talk to Lorne, so I guess after they got those notes they went all in on GE trying to stop them from saying anything.
    No one talked about it after the show because the musical guest on that show was Sinead O'Connor...

    In actuality the 80% spending on medical has made medical rates go UP not DOWN. Here's the math.
    Lets say that the insurance company takes in 10,000,000 in premiums
    In order to keep the 80% rule, they need to spend 8,000,000 and have 2,000,000 in profits
    On average they've done this every year in the past.
    Now, when the time comes to renegotiate medical payments, if they make their estimate to 10,000,000 with the same payout rates as previous years, they can charge 12,500,000 in premiums and keep 2,500,000 million. So premiums go up 25% and profits go up 25%. But that increase means that the hospital can charge 25% more to the insurance company and therefore to keep their margins correct they can also charge non insured people 25% more also which increases their profits.
    The only thing holding them back is the tolerance for premium increases.
    Note I haven't included any of the other things that would cause changes in the medical payments.

    Max Beerbohm i had an instant recognition of, yeah, he nailed it,
    *"incongruity is the mainspring of laughter."*

    Oh! my goodness how on earth did Norm get away with saying, he wrote Wayne and Shuster’s fair well, goodbye song on his Netflix show, his old boss’s ex wife was Rosie, When I saw it, I thought, most likely because there are not many of us left to remember, But then I remember watching Will Shatner in a futuristic sketch on the Big Review where he finds an ancient relic, a calendar of Marilyn Monroe with a flaming background and an ancient urn (coke bottle) I watched the big review because my friend from dancing school Glenna Jones was a principal dancer.

    Good to see Al Franken who should never have left Congress because of the Me Too movement hysteria. He was doing good work there and is sorely missed. Howie Mandel, on the other hand, failed at everything he tried until he caught the talent show gig, which is ironic since he hasn't any.

    You can tell Al is always watching what he is saying. That’s obviously from being a Senator. But I don’t know how well that would work in comedy anymore. People probably want to hear his stories about Ted Cruz and whoever. I think he needs to decide if he is ever going to make another Senate run or not. If not, go hard into the comedy. Drop the F bomb. Talk about some controversial stuff that came up while Senator in more colorful language than what people are used to hearing from you.
