    Conan saying he wished there was a camera post-show in the writers’ room makes me thankful for Seth Meyer’s corrections videos every week.

    We could only be so lucky to have a Conan version…it’s not too late!

    So we put on Leo on our family night and we were not expecting to like it so much.

    I enjoyed Leo, but the titular character seemed to be the least interesting in the entire movie. It’s a fun kid’s movie, but by the end you’re more invested in the story of every character BUT Leo.

    I think the Hotel Transylvania movies are great, personally. They’re silly and fun and safe for your kids to watch. What more do you want? Also, gotta see Leo. 👍

    If Leo is available on Swedish Netflix, I’ll get it again just to see it. Seems awesome

    I love experiencing creative genius. Smigel has it in spades. How I wish I could do what he does.

    Leo is the best movie of all time. Thanks to Spilling The Milk and Disney fumbling their 100th movie , this movie made more money than that movie and a lot of others that came out during this time. Thank you Robert Smigel and everyone else who worked on this movie.

    The pear tree portion of the premise of “Mr. Short Term Memory” makes it even more hilarious, because pears are a soft fruit.

    I hope there’s at least 14 more episodes with Robert such a great interview

    I love that almost universally every SNL alumni has a Lorne impression and drops it at every opportunity.
