One of the greatest

Post by DollarBill »

I saw one of the best shows I've seen in a long time last night. Beeler and Roy saw it too. Tim Meadows played with some iO brass (Jet Eveleth and Holly Laurent) and Greg Hollimon, the guy who played Principle Blackman on Strangers with Candy, played as well.

It was great. Tim Meadows was incredible. Roy classified him as the ultimate straight man. We agreed that it was because he was able to not only fulfill the normal heightening role that the straight man performs, but also was saying things that were extremely witty/funny/smart/etc. Jet plays amazing characters, and I'd say her talents are easily SNL worthy. Holly's an actress and Greg Hollimon was just plain fun. It was a perfect mix and a great show.

Point of the post:
It was one of those shows that's inspiring, but also makes you wonder if you'll ever be that good.
They call me Dollar Bill 'cause I always make sense.
