Hannah and Paige filmed a cameo on Mindy Kaling's TV show on its final production day — in furs, sweating, next to Ashanti. Hannah had never heard 'Auld Lang Syne' called by its name and mispronounced it so many ways they needed 15–20 takes per angle.

Word is circulating that Taylor Swift's wedding is close — invitations allegedly haven't been sent, keeping things tight. Hannah uses the news as a lens for her own wedding retrospective. She wasn't the type to view her wedding day as the best day of her life; she was mostly grateful nothing went wrong and a little uncomfortable with the forced gathering energy. 'I like people to want to come to see me do stand-up, not like cousins being dragged from the airport,' she explains. Paige wonders whether Taylor, who is demonstrably more romantic, will experience the post-wedding void. Hannah suspects yes — she's 'a little more romantic than me.'
Rumors are swirling that Taylor Swift's wedding is imminent. Hannah reflects that she was just relieved her own wedding went well — she never really wanted all the attention of forcing people to a mandatory event. Will Taylor have the 'wedding blues' after?
Robby Hoffman isn't fearless — she's terrified all the time. The difference is she does it anyway, because not doing it feels worse than the fear itself.
John Mulaney texted Robby Hoffman out of nowhere saying he'd been a fan for a while and wanted to make a Netflix special with her. Robby called it 'shocking, horrifying, anxiety-inducing, surreal and thrilling' — and said yes.
Mulaney is buttoned-up, suit-wearing, classy. Robby is gritty, raw, and undefined. Together they made the collab nobody expected. Batman and Robin. Eminem and Dido.
Music had Pope Gregory forcing notation. Comedy has had 'magical thinking' — he's just got funny bones. But jokes work through discoverable, teachable mechanics. Writing down the rules doesn't kill the magic; it gives more people access to it.
Howard Ashman had one insight nobody else had: animated Disney films should be Broadway musicals. The third song of every great musical is the character sitting alone explaining what they want. That's 'Part of Your World.' That structure — combined with Alan Menken's compositions — generated Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King, and turned Disney Animation into the most profitable creative engine in entertainment history.
The Lion King musical has been running for 30 years across Broadway, London's West End, and global touring companies. It has grossed over $11 billion in total revenue — more than Avatar, more than Avengers: Endgame, more than any album, more than any video game. It generates an average of $350 million in revenue every single year. Disney owns it outright.
The anonymous French artist Invader has hidden 1,500 pixelated mosaic artworks across Paris alone, with thousands more scattered across 80+ cities — affixed to the Eiffel Tower, the Hollywood sign, and even sent to the International Space Station. He might be even busier than Banksy.
The Flash Invaders app turns city streets into a treasure hunt, letting players scan Invader's hidden mosaics for points. Players have collectively logged over 47 million flashes. Unlike most mobile games that glue you to a screen, this one forces you to look up and engage with your surroundings.
New York draws thousands of young, talented performers every year chasing Broadway stardom — but the hard truth is that most of them never make it. Zelig Williams was one of the rare exceptions.
