From the desk
How this season is filed
Sketch comedy that treated race, masculinity, and cable-news panic as a two-man demolition derby. Substitute teachers, Obama's anger translator, and character work so sticky the clips outlived linear airings. Two chameleons who made YouTube the co-equal of Thursday night, and still sharper than the timeline they mocked.
