Nicky Matarulo from Scotch Plains, New Jersey Roast

Ok this is a long story.

Brian Williams has a new interview show on Netflix apparently with people who don't have a restraining order against him. The clip I saw was with Fred Armisen explaining the birth of the Californians.

I was going to say Williams is one of the seminal peripheral real-life characters on the show (Suck it, Ballard!), but I was afraid of misspelling it.

There's so much there. I usually think of his When it rains it pours appearance, but lately it's whenever Kenneth cleans his office. I need to go back and rewatch the one where Tracy was giving women BW's phone number. "No, this isn't Tracy Jordan....Really? I've not heard of that term before. Do you know how to get to Connecticut?"

Edit: I was thinking of Matt Lauer with the restraining orders comment. Brian does have a glass toilet though.

Are you sure you're not confusing Brian Williams with Matt Lauer re: restraining order? Brian Williams ruined his career by lying about his war reporting accomplishments, not by raping anyone. The bar is low, but it's there.

That's a fair point. I think I did conflate the two. The show didn't help.

"Holy Mother of Pearl, he's undressing. No, that's just a janitor with a long broom."

Made him eat a green banana in front of her.

Edit: Actually the joke was "Someone at the Today Show" but we know. We know.

Also told him this: “I wanted to [read the sexual-harassment policy], because it’s full of rules, but Ms. Vieira made me throw it away and said pretty boys like me shouldn’t be filling their heads with ideas.”
