[TV orNotTV] Quickie Review: STEVE! (martin)

2024-03-31 Thread Kevin M.
Having read his autobiography and enjoyed all aspects of his career, there
wasn’t much new in this documentary. But it was a touching, sweet, fun, and
funny watch.

Re: [TV orNotTV] 'SNL' Origin Story Movie May Be Coming

2024-03-31 Thread Tom Wolper
The movie is about the lead up to the first episode and the show Berle
wasn’t even in the first season. It’s more likely that the Berle character
is a straw man for comedians of a previous era.

And I await the critical review that says Simmons doesn’t have the penis to
play Milton Berle.

I'm interested in the fact that they're going to deal with the Milton Berle
episode--and I wonder if Simmons has the, um, endowment that Berle was
famed for.

And who's playing Don Pardo?
