I feel for

. I’ve done shows in a half empty venue. It doesn’t feel good. You have to dig deep and remember why you’re there: to spread hatred and lies.
THE SHOW YOUR GRANDPARENTS WOULDN’T LET YOUR PARENTS WATCH IS BACK!
Filming has begun on The Kids in the Hall’s 8-episode Amazon Original series in Toronto. Below is photographic proof that we can still occupy the same physical space.

There aren’t many comedians that I admired as much,or frankly,stole from as much as Bob Newhart.He made quietly thinking on camera hilarious.The pause was his art. Clearly,in this photo you can see the admiration was mutual.A loving goodbye to one of the greatest comics ever. ❤️
Well no way out of it now. In fact, we are already busy writing our uniquely horrible brand of sketch comedy. 'Kids in the Hall' Revived at Amazon

Heading out with my daughter Alina to see Elvis Costello at the Greek with Nick Lowe. I look old but I swear I’m still the 17 year old who just raced home from the mall with a copy of My Aim Is True.
Sitting in O’Hare in Chicago. About to board flight to Toronto to start production of

reboot for Amazon after a pandemic pause of 1yr. Wish us luck.
Last night we wrapped shooting on 8 episodes of new Kids In The Hall sketches. I hope you all like them or are at least polite about them like decent human beings.

This moment is my most cherished with Betty. It was a surprise birthday celebration with everyone working on Hot In Cleveland. I have no words to describe my feelings and admiration for this incredible woman.This day had to come but when you were with her it seemed impossible.
I’ve spent the entire afternoon watching and reposting clips of Joe Flaherty. It’s strange to be made so sad while laughing so much. Thanks for stopping by the planet Joe.
Very sad to hear Paul Reubens died. I was a big fan and I was fortunate enough to hang out with him occasionally over the years. Always kind, charming and funny. His creation, Pee Wee Herman, made life brighter and sillier for us all.

. I did something I haven’t done in over 25yrs. I watched the some episodes. Startled by how many sketches I have totally forgotten. Season six is coming soon.

When Trump paraphrases Hitler Republicans say it’s just words; it’s not important. When teenagers use different pronouns Republicans act like it’s an existential threat to society. This is a tad inconsistent.
Hey my American leftists, tonight might be the time to start practicing our civility and unity. As fun as it is to flame someone you mildly disagree with, there’s actual work to be done. And as a Canadian socialist you all look moderate to me. Love you.
Treat’s death is truly heartbreaking. First met him in ‘85. He was incredibly kind. He made a day player feel like a member of the cast. Didn’t meet him again until 2018.This time we became friends. He was wonderful, warm and lovable. I’ll miss him & his dispatches from Vermont.
Hey Alabama trans kids. The only thing wrong with you is that you live in a totally fucked state lead by a totally fucked governor. Your right to responsible healthcare should not be in question. You’re right to to be exactly who you are should not be in question. Love yourself.
The “Bible Salesman” is a classic American con. For an entertaining example watch the classic film Paper Moon, starring Ryan and Tatum O’Neal. For a disgusting example watch Trump.
Oliver, one of the world’s great dogs, died this morning at home. He was a wonderful friend and comfort during some of my darkest moments. Crissy, Alina, Falcor and I will miss him. He was 11 years old.
Sen. Lindsey Graham justifies his treatment of Merrick Garland: "If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump's term, and the primary process has started, we'll wait to the next election"
Can’t believe Norm MacDonald is dead. First met him in the mid 80s. I thought he was way too funny to be successful. I was half right. My deep sympathy to his family, close friends and his fans.
#ripNorm
I’m from Toronto. The City of Buffalo is our neighbour. This horrific shooting is heartbreaking. The rampant, white supremacy ideology that inspired it is infuriating. That it can turn an 18yr old child into a hate filled monster is terrifying. That he was legally armed,shameful.
To whom it may concern, I’ve known
@joerogan
a long long as we have been friends we have had disagreements.I can tell you Joe doesn’t care what you think about what he thinks.He’s not on anyone’s team. His mind changes,a mind that doesn’t is worthless.
Happy 99th Birthday to Betty White. This photo is from a birthday surprise in 2015. Getting to work with Betty was an education. Getting to know Betty is a blessing. She is the greatest ever. Long may she rule.
Alert! Spread the word! Make everyone watch! Just learned the weekend “Metrics” will decide our fate. Now I just have to learn what that means.

I’m send much love and hopes for a speedy and complete recovery to my friend, the comedy genius, Bob Odenkirk. Having a heart attack is the first thing he’s done in 20 years that hasn’t made me jealous.

When I was a kid I got the single Brand New Key and wore it out. When I was writing the Doomsday DJ sketch I wanted the most joyful possible peace of music to contrast the DJ’s bleakness. I’m forever in your debt Melanie. Happy journeys.

The response to the new

episodes has been overwhelmingly gratifying to all of us. I’m personally and particularly grateful for all the generous comments about this sketch.

Deeply saddened by the death of Alex Trebek. I had good fortune to spend some time with Alex over the years. He was a lovely man, intelligent, kind and with a surprisingly silly sense of humour, which I’ll spell with the extra “u” in honour of our homeland.
#RIPAlexTrebek
Here’s a fun drinking game for watching the RNC. Pour a shot of whiskey and put it on the table in front of you. Now leave it there while you chug the rest of the bottle. Then down that shot.
As a Canadian who has lived in the U.S. for 25yrs, I can confirm the truth of this thread. I hope all Americans will be freed from the current immoral and ineffective healthcare system.

disaster, I must come clean about a lie I spread as a health insurance exec: We spent big $$ to push the idea that Canada's single-payer system was awful & the U.S. system much better. It was a lie & the nations' COVID responses prove it. The truth: (1/6)
Over 20 years ago, one of my best friends John Kastner(
@jeanguykastner
) brought Neil Peart to my house in Laurel Canyon. We stayed up all night drinking whiskey and talking on more subjects than I knew existed. He was the friendliest curmudgeon in the world. We’ll miss him.
I know it’s not Xmas but sometimes you work with your heroes and even better you get to call them friends. I’m really going to miss Joe Flaherty.

who I’ve been told is a member of the controversial skit comedy group “The Kids In The Hall”. It’s rumored that I’m also in that group. If true, I’m sure we must be close friends.
Just heard a few minutes ago that my friend
@bobsaget
has died. I don’t know what say or think. I’ve known him since the late 80s. He was always kind and supportive of his fellow comedians, and other artists, but love of comedy was central to his nature. He’s going to be missed.
No greater contribution to the art of sketch comedy has ever been made than that made by Monty Python.They altered comedy down to its very DNA. With the death of

Fred Willard was one of the funniest men ever to live and one of the nicest. I’m deeply sad that he is gone but at least now the rest of us can move up in the rankings. Bye Fred. Give my love to Mary.

What a lovely story. Clearly dogs are up to something on this planet. We may never know the full scope of their activities but I believe their intentions are kind.
Just heard that Norman Lear has died. Through his work, he probably shaped my outlook on the world as much or more than my parents. Below is a pretty good example.

, a pioneer who used humor to bring conversations about abortion into American homes. We humbly aim to continue the legacy of smashing stigma & promoting the vitality of abortion access through humor. May his memory be a blessing.

As the man who wrote this monologue, I think it’s appropriate that I bring your attention to this issue and an organization that is trying to help.

To see the Harris and Biden families on that stage together, clearly, palpably bound by love instead of shared malice gives me such hope for the next four years.

The intent of the blue✔️wasn’t to make celebs feel good. It was to protect everyone from being conned and potentially robbed by imposters. I’m only slightly famous and lots have tried to sell “products & services”in my name. But if Elon really needs the $…

Is it time for people like me, who follow
@realDonaldTrump
to monitor his insane/dangerous statements, to unfollow? What % of his followers are we? Journalists are obligated to follow him. Are the rest of us doing more harm than good by inflating his followers?
With all due respect, you useless dumb fucking racist cunt, are you feeling nostalgic for the Tulsa massacre? We need zero tolerance for your continued government employment.
Anarchy, rioting, and looting needs to end tonight.
If local law enforcement is overwhelmed and needs backup, let's see how tough these Antifa terrorists are when they're facing off with the 101st Airborne Division.
We need to have zero tolerance for this destruction.
I’m feeling deeply sad for

@carlreiner
. He was brilliant. He set a standard with The Dick Van Dyke Show that is seldom met but for which all sitcoms should strive.
