It felt like a lot of the SNL sketches were jammed in as filler. Some were totally warranted, and the appearance of the "Synchronized Swimming" sketch was a nice surprise. But Baba fargin' Wawa? No Gilda hater I, but several minutes of funny voices does not a top-10 spot holder make.

Life imitates Mr. Show?

The TSA agents in Oakland have a strange fixation on making you strip down to your very last shirt before you can pass through the metal detector. I fly out of Oakland regularly, and on several occasions (and usually in the dead of winter!) I've had to go through wearing only a skimpy tank-top or an undershirt because the agents threatened me with a search if I covered up. I've never had this experience at any other airport - and frankly I'm a little relieved to learn that the rule applies to guys as well as girls.
