AMY POEHLER SIGNOFF SNL


Saturday night was bittersweet after seeing comedian great Amy Poehler farewell loyal fans during her last on-air skit of Weekend Update. Just to reflect, she made us laugh, even cry-over (literally) from her riveting bust-out sketches. We retained many Amy favorites over the seven years! Our best standouts have to be Poehler’s on-target Hillary Clinton impersonations and all “Bronx Beat” parodies!! To be honest, all the SNL GREATS left. We only have the ingenious Seth Meyers still standing.

I am sure Amy will make return performances time-to-time and pursue her strengths as a remarkable comedic actor. DAG…we are really going to miss you Amy P.

Farewell!

SNL glory days starring Amy P and Maya Rudolph!

FAREWELL BERNIE MAC


Early this morning, comedian and award-winning actor, Bernie Mac passed away from complications with pneumonia at Chicago's Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Bernie has been dealing with sarcoidosis (tissue inflammation disease) since the 1980s. Reports are saying it’s what possibly fueled the abrupt pneumonia which overtook the comedic superstar this week.

Personal Memento

Bernie Mac, oftentimes raw and uncut, brought me to my knees conjuring tears from his jokes and funny rants. Just rent the "Kings of Comedy" DVD. (Side note: Getting some milk and coookies.) Also, any classic "HBO's Def Comedy Jam" video is sufficed. Still in primary school, I remember sneaking to catch him on the HBO hit comedy show. At that time Bernie was very green yet the platinum joke teller.

Bernie, I bet you're dishing stomach-wrenching jokes wherever you peacefully reside.

We'll miss you Sir Mac!

Farewell,
