We’ve got to give it to George Clooney and co.
Thus far, from the teaser and this trailer, the adaptation of Joseph Heller’s legendary novel Catch-22 seems to be nailing the look, tone, feel, dark, dark, dry humor, and absurdity of the book (as well as featuring a perfectly cast Jon Rudnitsky).
See for yourself here, then look for the premiere of Catch-22 on Hulu on May 17th.

It would seem that Saturday Night Live isn’t going to hire as many new folks as they did last year.
There was a big change in the moving parts of SNL last year with a bunch of new folks debuting, but the dust has apparently settled as comedian Jon Rudnitsky is the only new featured player thus far. That’s a nice get for someone who just got New Faces at JFL Montreal this year.
Still, the season premiere of SNL is over a month away and plenty can happen between now and then. Hopefully, they don’t resort to having a semi-secret audition for some reason in that time.
