Thought this was one of their better episodes recently. New cast member: “I’m a little worried, I haven’t been on the show in the last two weeks.” 😉 And how excited he was to figure out saracm. Kenneth, showing all the holiday decorations “And here’s a picture of Obama for the Muslims…” Tracey: “I’ll let that slide.”😃 ---

Me too, though Moore’s Bah-stan accent grated on me for a while. I liked the competitive gift exchange, and Jack’s reputation for awesome presents: “He got my sister out of a North Korean prison!” I like Danny, I hope he stays, if only for the Canadian jokes. ---

I think I missed something while I was working in the kitchen. Why did Danny’s voice suck when he went to do his duet? Agree it was a good episode though. ---

He threw threw his part of the duet to make Jenna the star after hearing her sob story. She is really a very dislikable person. ---

Yeah, she gave him the stinkeye near the end when he forgot and began singing on-key. ---

Nancy (Julianne Moore’s character): You know how hard it is to get teenagers out of bed in the morning. Jack: Yes, but probably not in the way you’re thinking. Even trying to throw a song you can tell Cheyenne Jackson has a great voice. “Is that a nosebleed?” “From being so happy… definitely not a rage stroke.” Was the reference to Wharfer or Wolper or [something]er Cap & Gown where they used to shoot BB guns being torn down for a park Boston in joke? ---
