I turned it off

I have been meaning to get quotes for car insurance and thinking maybe I should google that.

Just got back from the game in ATL.

What is the TV saying about getting this game in tonight? I’d like to go back in if they plan on playing

No real news yet...

Other than they’re hoping to get it in.

They have said maybe

10 or 10:30 start but that was a while ago.

Thanks for the weather reports.

That’s pretty good.

As for the actual set, it’s obviously beautiful, but it’s so big that it almost feels impersonal…

He's still really funny I think.

Seems like he’s doing more pre-planned comedy with his guests than I remember from Late Night (ie coaching them on what to say that will lead to a joke ala the original Tonight Show way back when…)

I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

It's the best of the two teams' mutual off days.

The other two are June 15 (no sense whatsoever, the Cubs are home and the Braves are on the road) and August 24 (which violates the rule for too many games without a day off).
