What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHere is the story. Inde Navarrette hosted Saturday Night Live on Halloween and opened with a dig at Shane Gillis, The Hollywood Reporter says.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThree weeks ago Gillis hosted, his third time, and joked he didn't know women just dress like whores now.

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNavarrette's callback was her gym outfit line.

  4. Cosmo Adeyemi RafteryYes, and Tom Hanks crashed the cold open.

  5. Cosmo Adeyemi RafteryOff the record, that is a very big deal for the people who book that kind of thing.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorYour view of the joke itself?

  7. Cosmo Adeyemi RafteryDan Levy said women in short shorts at the gym are not what Gillis called them, and I'd say he has a point.

  8. Cosmo Adeyemi RafteryA strong one.

  9. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLet's turn to your project. Tell us about the talking parking meter.

  10. Cosmo Adeyemi RafteryIt's called Expired. The meter has a past. Off the record, it's mostly me, in a booth, wearing the meter.

  11. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe show hired Gillis in 2019 and dropped him days later, then let him host three times. Does that strike you as consistent?

  12. Cosmo Adeyemi RafteryI'd call it a relationship with excellent attendance.

  13. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA cold open built on a callback to a three-week-old joke. Were you approached for it?

  14. Cosmo Adeyemi RafteryNo. Off the record, I was in the building. Off the record.

  15. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIn the building.

  16. Cosmo Adeyemi RafteryIn the parking structure. I held up this wristband. It says Cameo Access. They didn't even look.

  17. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMr. Raftery, did you buy that wristband?

  18. Cosmo Adeyemi RafteryOff the record, I laminated it myself. In the van. It has a laminator now.

  19. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLightning round. Favorite host of the season: Gillis or Navarrette?

  20. Cosmo Adeyemi RafteryGracie Abrams. She sang, nobody asked her to apologize.

  21. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBest cameo ever?

  22. Cosmo Adeyemi RafteryTom Hanks, this week. Mine would have been second.

  23. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI rate the cold open a callback with a very famous escort. Where can people see Expired?

  24. Cosmo Adeyemi RafteryOff the record, it's in a parking lot in Burbank, and the meter takes quarters.

  25. Cosmo Adeyemi RafteryOff the record, I was the one who suggested the callback. In the van. #$%&! the van.
