HARDBALL
French foreign minister (host) enjoys nettling USA over Iraq
— Nice to see that the reliability and popularity of these Hardball sketches has gotten to the point where SNL is now using them as a cold opening. This is especially needed at this point, considering how terrible a lot of cold openings have been in the second half of this season so far.
— Good to see Christopher Walken not only appearing right at top of the show, but in a Hardball sketch to boot.
— Darrell’s Chris Matthews almost slipped into Dennis Miller territory with his “I haven’t seen a group of people this crazy for blood since the Cobra Kai chased Daniel-San out of the Halloween dance in Karate Kid.” All he needed was a more obscure reference and either a “Cha-cha” or a “Ha-HAAAA!” at the end.
— Chris Matthews, to the French foreign minister: “That’s big talk from a country who’s only contributions to world culture in the last 50 years are Gerard Depardieu and that horny skunk!”
— Very funny reveal from Christopher’s French foreign minister that France is only being pro-war “just to be, how you say, douchebag.”
— A lot of Parnell’s lines in this have been forgettable (which

I want to tell you a little bit about the movie Click, which is the moralistic tale of an overworked man using a universal remote to control his reality.
Before I get too far and you decide to rewatch it right now (streaming on HBOmax), beware that this movie is extremely sexist, racist, transphobic, and fat phobic... horrendously so. I can’t imagine any of those things being okay in 2006 but somehow it only got worse with time. Also, this essay is going to have spoilers.
If you don’t remember sobbing to this movie in the fifth grade, let me remind you of the premise. Michael, played by Adam Sandler, is a young, overworked architect, who, simultaneously frustrated with the myriad of remotes in his household and envious of his wealthier neighbors, goes to Bed, Bath and Beyond to get a universal remote. While there, (and in a dream) he enters the “Beyond” area of the store. Behind a heavy door and down a long dark hallway, a mad-scientist Christopher Walken character gives him a universal remote for free because “good guys need a break sometimes.” So Michael takes this remote, and quickly realizes it can be used on anything in his life, such as quieting the volume on his dog’s barking or fast forwarding through family dinner so he can get back to work. The remote saves his
