YouTube TV does have a week trial. Might be worth comparing. I like it more than sling but I don't subscribe to any of the services right now.

I know I'm late to the party, but I've started watching the first season of Fargo on Hulu and it's fantastic.

Sometimes when people tell me they're experiencing a thing for the first time like a restaurant or a TV show or an album I get really excited for them and a little jealous that they get to experience it fresh. This is one of those cases.

I think it got better each season, but many seem to prefer the first.

I don't watch Lights Out very often, but I happened to catch that episode. It was a very pleasant surprise to see the guest list as the show opened, and I'm glad I stuck around to watch it all.

Apparently, the next night, a number of other Update hosts sent in videos expressing their appreciation of the quasi-reunion. Jost, Chase, Fallon were 3 that I remember seeing. There might have been 1 or 2 others.

P.S. Chase looked pretty bad.

i'm not a huge fan of that type of format. even comics i like trying to ad-lib on current events/random whatevers in front of audience, i think it fails more times than not...awkward and cringy etc. that said, i like those guys, comedically, so was fun to see, particularly reminiscing about SNL days

Yeah, it's usually not good, which is why I've only watched about 5-10 episodes of Lights Out. I gave it a try for the 1st 2 episodes, then have only caught up a couple since (almost always because I forgot to switch the channel/turn the TV off). It's mostly been Spade and his friends making fun of something or other. It's not working for me, and I wonder what the ratings are. They haven't been able to fill the post-Daily Show slot since... Larry Wilmore? Colbert Report?

Monday night was a surprisingly fortunate coincidence.
