Whose opening monologue would get the most applause? Whose impressions would actually make you laugh out loud? Who would photograph super well in those signature SNL stills?

darrencriss The time has come!

darrencriss It is done.



Of course, this reminded me of a very important haircut that happened about six years ago...


Except when I went to look up the old tweets, I noticed that this didn't just happen ABOUT six years ago, it happened EXACTLY six years ago to the date and even posted within the same hour. Did he do that on purpose?

The wording is similar for 2010 and 2016, too, with him saying something to the effect that time-wise, the moment has arrived where the haircut must happen (hmmmm.  for reasons).
2010:  "Well gang, it’s done."
2016:  "It is done."

I have not been following Waitress.  Is Jenna leaving the show, or is the show closing?
