It's a good thing that imitation is something-something, because we're getting it all over the place.
First off, here's a little side-by-side of me from last year's Mad Men finale, and Bobby Moynihan from last week's SNL.
Also, next week's Simpsons Halloween Special has a little homage to Mad Men. Please to watch. It is ridiculously cool.
So, a week ago today, The Lovely Virginia and I packed up The Bean and embarked on a family trip to The Big Apple.
Wednesday night, we stayed in Midtown. It was noisy and wonderful. Drunkle PJ and I went to a fancy-shmancy Hugo Boss event. Here's us before we left.
We had most of the day to cart Bea around town (mostly to Beard Papa's), and then we headed to a fancy Mad Men soiree.
Then came Saturday.
Boy, oh boy. Saturday.
I have been a fan of SNL since I was about, um, born. And I have been very impressed with this season so far, due in no small part to my friend Bobby Moynihan.
So attending the show as an audience member was, to put it succinctly, amazing.
Throw in that a friend and co-worker was hosting, which made it a thousand times better.
Put on top of that two friends and co-workers guest-starring, and my head started to get a little warm.
Oh, and as we sat down, we noticed a clear rendition of the Sterling Cooper set directly in front of us.
Uh-oh.
Once you realize that your-friend-the-SNL-cast-member is playing YOU in a sketch... Well, that's about when your brain starts to melt and seep out your EARS.
No way to put it into words, except to say that other than my wedding night, this was easily the best night of my life.
I am not exaggerating.
It was the culmination of about fifty dreams at once.
Un-f'ing-believable.
Oh, and then on Sunday, we took Bea to the dog run in Union Square Park. She apparently loves the crap outta puppies. You'll notice her puppy hat.
Many thanks to Meg and Kris for babysitting. Youse guys made it all work.
And it was fun.
Why?
Because you probably get NBC.
And why is that lucky, you ask?
Because it means you can watch Saturday Night Live.
Okay, you say, I've done that before. Why does that make me lucky?
Because SNL just added one of the funniest people in the world to their cast.
This is Bobby Moynihan.
I think I saw it a billion times.
Every time we had friends or family in town, we would drag them to the UCB to see these guys.
They are all incredibly awesome.
And now, one of them is getting his due.
Bobby is easily one of the most talented, kind and down-to-earth people I met in my time in NYC.
Oh, my. You people have no idea what you're in for.
Congrats, Bobby! I cannot tell you how happy this news makes me.
It pains me to admit it, but this is a pretty great SNL effort.
It has naughty words, FYI.
