Cecily Strong's Jeanine Pirro is hilarious! She is so talented! I saw the Leslie Jones piece that you posted in GD, but that was also amazing! I'm going to miss them over the summer!

Thanks for posting Rhiannon!

And how many opportunities for humor they'll miss over the summer truly does boggle the mind! No one dares take even a week off with Trump's antics for fodder.
