I am heading out to see Johnny Sanchez, Jill-Michele Meleán and Carlos Alazraqui in Burbank in a few minutes. I’ve worked with both Jill and Carlos for many years. I met Johnny during the filming of “The Club” back in late 2009 and early 2010.

Goal of the project:
Robots instead of N-bombs: Statistically, people prefer robots to the word “n-word.” The word “n-word” is ugly and pejorative. Robots are fun and cool…even when they’re trying to take over our world! So we’ve decided to take the word “n-word” out of Mark Twain’s classic and replace it with “robot.”
The video presentation is funny and well done. Reddit user aytch was so inspired and beat them to it, kinda.

I would like to say that I have not watched Saturday Night Live in 10 something years, I only checked facebook once a week or less and I have not seen The Social Network. I would also like to say that I was involved in the making of The Social Network, a small role in the production.
Apparently Mark Zuckerberg is making a cameo on Saturday Night Live with Jesse Eisenberg as host. How do I know that? Twitter. Wired.com said so.
Recap:
I guess I won’t be talking about this Saturday Night Live when other people do (that’s you, Leo Laporte and TWiT).
