I know, but do we really care? A trained chimp could've done his job.

For some people, these game show hosts are like friends or family.

I give him credit for putting up with those contestants over the years. I'd be telling them to stop acting like idiots.

He and I have a mutual friend and I had lunch with Pat about 10 years ago. He basically said the same thing, didn't take himself seriously at all, super nice, humble guy. Told me that he and Vanna, more than once, would have a few margaritas before filming

Has anyone ever watched non-UK Taskmaster? I keep getting them in my recommended but not sure if they'd be any good.

it is pretty remarkable he's been able to restrain himself from bursting out in laughter over the years at so many absolute moronic guesses.

Anyone watch The Acolyte yet? On a scale of Andor (best) to The Phantom Menace (worst), where does it rank on the Star Wars scale?

Just finished Bodkin. It's good. Got through a few episodes of Eric but couldn't finish it.

Also watching the third season of The Outlaws. It's a British show about a bunch of miscreants who are assigned community service. Excellent.

Little late to the party, but I really like Sajak. He has a way of toeing the snarky dick line without going over. He really does have a good sense of humor and quick wit.

Agreed.
Forte is very hit or miss for me. If his shtick is on high, I'm out immediately. Luckily it's on low, allowing the other actors to shine.

People still watch Wheel of Fortune? Can't remember last time I watched even a part of the show.

WoF was on at some bar the other night, first time I'd seen it in forever. Always thought he did a great job and also have heard he's a very nice, humble man.

was really looking forward to presumed innocent, the movie was so good.

only 2 episodes released so far but good lord sooooooooooooooo bad
they removed all the best parts of the movie and it's just laughably bad.

I liked The Americans too; no doubt it's an elite show but they lost me toward the last. I think I even skipped the last season.

i stopped watching it once they began involving the daughter, no idea what season that was but i saw a few in a row that i thought were duds and just decided no more

the bad seasons at the end are still popcorn fun, just not the elite stuff we grew accustomed to, had the show started at the penultimate season and never gave us those great years before it'd just be known as a typical show nothing special but also nothing to ridicule

watch the pilot of GOT, if you find yourself not liking it after 10-15 minutes then it's not for you
