Selina does an interview, but doesn't realize she has accidentally been recorded badmouthing the reporter, but just as they are given bad news, they are given very good news as well.

I loved this episode! Why is the writing so much better? The jokes were funny, and the character actors were wonderful (I'm thinking of the actress that played Jonah's mom, and the actor who played Quincy).

Also, their ineptitude about how to handle Quincy's phone, and Selina pretending to check the lightbulb had me in stitches.

Favorite line: "This is America. We're always at war."

Second favorite line: "He's a character..."

*piercing stare*

"I HATE those."

These last two episodes are written by Iannucci, hence their being better than episode 8.

This was easily the best episode of the season. I was absolutely rolling. That scene with Gary in the bathroom? Oh my God.

I *loved* seeing Jonah at his mom's place. Perfect.

Yeah, I really liked Jonah in this episode, although he's been growing on me for a while now. What did he say, "Someone crashed a plane into my career!" :D

Oh, I forgot: this episode gave us "crazy eggs" as well...

The bathroom scene was one of the funniest things I've seen on television. I read an article about how Julia Louis-Dreyfus spends more time and energy trying to get the other actors to crack up and break character than she does actually trying to get the scene done, and that was all I could think about watching Tony Hale in stitches. I wonder if he knew ahead of time what she was going to pull out of that bag.
