As well as one of a few sketches in which Beck Bennett shows off his vocal chops. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLIW...

Also, it's one of two amazing "dinner party with Leslie Jones where things take a turn" sketches from around this period... www.youtube.com/watch?v=ab5W...

There are so many things I love about this sketch, but Kenan Thompson going full Springsteen may be at the top of that list.

The UFO subplot in this is just....perfect.

I'm just....very confused by someone who feels compelled to tell complete strangers the story of how he became a registered sex offender.

Congrats!

Gotta say, I feel like my opinion of Donohue formed during the Dogma controvery of the late 90s — basically, "what a fucking asshole" — has been borne out by subsequent events. Sometimes, first impressions *are* accurate!

Maybe there are enough AI true believers/romance enthusiasts in Seattle that coverage like this would be a feature rather than a bug, but...I dunno.

There's so much in the linked article that left me saying, "But why?"
i.e. Why wouldn't you organize a bookstore's sections yourself? Why do you need AI to come up with a loyalty program, something that isn't exactly rocket science? etc etc etc.

As someone who has memories of the RBNY-DC United rivalry at its most heated, this bums me out a little if it does happen...but it wouldn't surprise me.
