Alison Rich is turning into one of my favourite guests.

Was the bit with Vanessa Bayer the first time an actor said their own lines? It felt like they were trying to piece together the story after the fact and really needed her character to say that stuff so she just said it. It was so unusual as to be jarring.

I think so, yes. Well, unless we count Sean Berdy a couple of episodes back, which was a nice touch.

My Favorite Murder covered the Circleville Letter Writer in a live show in Columbus on February 3rd...Oddly though, Karen Kilgariff did it, not Georgia Hardstark...And Georgia didn't seem to have heard of it at the time? I guess they film these and get them out pretty quickly.

This was so fun. I really appreciated the Unsolved Mysteries parody.
