I disagree. I liked seeing Person at Center Console and thought that
person handled the appearance very well. And I was hopeful we'd see
Person at Fourth Console, but never exected they actually bring that
person back, especially given that person's appearance on the network
earlier this week.

Didn't like the funeral sketch -- thought the idea had shot its wad
when they did it at a wedding reception and ended up muting it.
"Saigon" may not have been the best thing all year, but it was
amibitious and different and I give them points for that, even if it
didn't exactly work for me.
