Would you be able to take anything this health official says seriously?
Who says doctors don’t have fun!
That clown makeup is still terrifying though…
The Strokes are rock royalty in New York City, so it made sense to have them on another Big Apple institution, Saturday Night Live on NBC. With their latest album ‘The New Abormal’ still pumping blood in our collective alt-music hearts and no live shows for the near future, why not dig into these live performances?
This week’s SNL was hosted by loveable comedy gem John Mulaney who delivered laughter about everything going on and a very NSFW Halloween themed sketch involving the Headless Horseman. Get a full review of the episode here.
Next week’s episode will be hosted by Dave Chapelle, who also hosted the first post-election episode of SNL in 2016.

AJR’s song “Bang!” is now also a hot sauce.
“Bang!” is a condiment that is uniquely New York (say that 10x fast!). I say that because it is made from a medley of peppers from over 30 community gardens throughout the Bronx and Queens. Those same gardens are the beneficiary of sales, too, because sales will go to direct support those local growers. Awesome.

Tomorrow your Halloween candy hangover can be weened off with the anticipated ‘Treehouse of Horror’ special from ‘the Simpsons’ on FOX. These creepy episodes have been must-watch TV every October since the show debuted as a regular series in 1990. This year’s edition will see Simpsons take a spin away from their standard drawn animation feel to a slightly-off CGI that they have experimented with several times in the past but this time it will be a nod to the first breakout computer-created cartoon, Toy Story. Watch the trailer for Treehouse XXXI above.
Watch Mojo did a great job counting down the best Treehouse of Horror segments from the annual spooktacular specials. Consequence of Sound went even deeper into the grave, ranking every Halloween episode, read that here.
The OG movie James Bond, Sean Connery, died at the age of 90.
The Scottish-born actor will forever be most associated for his work in the 1960s as James Bond in classics like Goldfinger, Dr. No and From Russia With Love.
Of course, Chicagoans have a soft spot for Connery for his performance in the 1987 release “The Untouchables.”
Connery won an Oscar and three Golden Globes for his work in film.
Not for nothing, People Magazine named Sean Connery the “Sexiest Man of the Century” in 1999.

During its 28 episode run ‘Chapelle Show’ became one of the biggest hits in comedy in the early 2000’s and launching Dave Chapelle to the top of the entertainment mountain. It was one of those shows that everyone had to have on DVD back when people got DVDs but with streaming video changing where can you catch your fill of Chapelle’s great sketches like his memorable behind-the-scenes stories on Rick James and more? Netflix will be streaming the show starting on November 1st.
That is not the only place you can stream Chapelle and other Comedy Central greats. Consequence of Sound reported this week that ‘Chapelle Show’, ‘Nathan For You’ and ‘Reno 911’ and ‘Key & Peele’ will be available on HBO Max on Sunday as well.
Chapelle returned to stand up comedy in 2015 with the Oddball Comedy Fest tour, and if you were one of the lucky 20,000 plus when saw his return in Tinley Park at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater then you know he was back to rule the world. Since then his Netflix specials have been appointment viewing, and now we are all going to hear a lot more friends yell ‘WHAT!?’ in conversations the next few weeks
Someone made a fake movie trailer for the year 2020 that covers all the craziness we’ve gone through this year. And no, it’s NOT a comedy. It’s more like an epic drama, political thriller, disaster, horror movie all rolled into one.

We might have the most rats, but at least we don’t have random 15 foot rat holes in Chicago!

I wonder if Chance the Ratter was in that rat party?
Watch where you step people!
Blackhawks and the Bulls aren’t playing, so why not turn the United Center into a polling location!
You could cast your vote at the United Center on Tuesday!
If you don’t know where to vote check out this website here and it’ll tell you where to go.
People are really enthusiastic about voting.
So enthusiastic that this lady stoped on her way to the hospital at a Florida polling location, WHILE IN LABOR, so she could vote!
If she can do it, so can you! Make sure your voice gets heard and vote this year!
I know you’ve seen airpods, but have you checked out the new Apple dog pods???
I hope she gets those airpods back. They’re expensive!
Thank God for Dave Grohl bringing us some laughs in this “weird time”. If you remember ten years ago …. FRESH POTS was a smash!
… now its time for
FRESHPOTIX. And will cure everything!
Sick of your kids interrupting important work zoom meetings? So is your boss! Here’s a solution!
Improv Everywhere created the world’s most socially distanced office in the middle of the East River in New York.
Pretty genius. Wonder if I could get a broadcast setup on the Chicago river? <3 Lauren
Rocky Horror Picture Show, the midnight movie theater nerd tradition of going to a movie cosplaying grandeur in the audience will be held off this Halloween but with the general election, it’s hip-shaking anthem has been pulled from the dead by Tenacious D. The comedy rock titans of fun Jack Back and Kyle Gass assembled their truly kick-ass band with many cameos from famous friends to rock-y the vote. It’s trending on YouTube for all the right reasons, it’s just fun for the spooky season and has the right message.
This is a crazy story.
These two lovers robbed 6 Chicago area banks then fled to Indiana with the cops on their tails!
The two were caught in Indiana when they ran out of gas fleeing the police.
The police now have a search warrant for the lover’s home where they believe they will find $20,000 and other evidence.
This is wild!
These two love birds have been dating since they were 13.
Now they’re 58 and finally going to tie the knot!
Took him long enough!
These Burger King employees were kind enough to show what it’s like behind the scenes at the ol’ BK.
It’s as bad as you imagined.
They definitely got fired for this right?
Saints Wide Receiver Juwan Johnson got word that he’s going to play in his first NFL game and shared the news with his wife.

Try and say denim on denim five times fast.
