The real benefit of heads-on-sticks is that when the rest of the team realizes that the head really is on a stick, that it isn’t about to come back to life, they feel emboldened to reveal just what a jerk the guy was all along.

If you can name everyone in this photo — taken in the driveway after one of the regular gatherings BUDDY HACKETT (who died 23yrs ago today, aged 78) used to hold at his Beverly Hills home — you’re a better man than I.

"That’s what’s heartbreaking about mentors," @rcbl writes. "They always mean so much more to you than you do to them."

What can give us hope? The comedian-turned-future-priest Rob Long (@rcbl) has his answer: "I’m hopeful in 2026 that people are exhausted by the distractions they’ve come up with, and so are willing to find places to think about faith. "How many ways can you distract yourself until you think, 'All these things I'm doing are doing it for me? Maybe I’ll give this ancient 2,000-year-old fractious, controversial, schismatic faith a try.'"

The writer's room for a TV show was full of the funniest people imaginable. The job was to make your peers laugh with a spontaneous little play. Improvising & competitive, one writer might do a setup, another a punchline, but always crafting a useful line of dialogue. How did longtime TV writer Rob Long (@rcbl) succeed?

NPR.

@rcbl @NoahGarfinkel Now you are just cribbing. Sounds like you are proposing “two’s company”.
