I also love that this is the second time they did the “did we just walk in a circle” joke. They did it in episode 1 or 2 of the whole show to poke fun at Studio 60.
“We’ve had the snowiest winter ever in New York. i mean, here in Africa.” (Tracy leans over to turn off a light as part of the backdrop falls down.) “Oh, it’s night. Time to go to bed or the gods will get mad. They must be crazy!”
I also liked Tracy’s earlier comment about all the people he’d met in Africa: “Ladysmith Black Mombazo, Paul Simon, Invictus.”
So glad Will Arnett is back in play. He’s the funniest man alive, IMO. I can’t believe Running Wilde didn’t work, but that lady from Felicity is a piss poor actress.
The Kabletown CEO is hilarious. More of him too.
The whole “pity the writers!” thing was a biiiit overplayed. Sorkin was great.
