Comedy Is Tragedy


A while back I promised myself that I would not watch Saturday Night Live anymore; in my opinion the show is unwatchable.

Last night I broke my promise, and I am glad I did. John Mulaney was last night's SNL host.

During the opening monologue he talked candidly about his friends staging an intervention to help him overcome his drug addiction. He also discussed his time at a rehab center during the January 6 insurrection, his sobriety, a text conversation he had with his drug dealer, and about his 12 week old son. 

I thought it was very clever, honest and refreshing how he incorporated drugs into a comedy act and deliver such a strong positive message. My respects go out to you, John Mulaney.
