If you missed Saturday night’s SNL (I’m obsessing, but it’s nice to see them back in good form), I did manage to find a copy of Weekend Update over here at FallonFey.com. (No direct links, but just click on the “John McCain” link in the top left corner.) In the spirit of fair play, Weekend…

I’ve been a devoted SNL watcher for 16 years or so – enough to qualify me as an addict, but not nearly enough to get me into Tom Shales territory. He’s co-authored Live From New York, apparently a book that dishes lots of dirt (who knew Chevy Chase was so uniformly disliked?). And Slate has…
