Raining on Your Parade

Sorry to announce, it’s another week off for the Chair.

The Chair may never be able to watch SNL again… ok he will but he will feel bitter about it for a little while (and why not?). His expansive work on all things SNL has him benched again this week (sports metaphors? what’s happening to this blog??!). You know it’s dire because he hasn’t even watched Showtime’s Fellow Travelers.

Matt and Jonathan, forgive me!

But while we wait for the Chair’s return to form (yes, we’re also looking at you The Morning Show), here’s a delightful piece on Barbra Streisand’s much anticipated memoir My Name is Barbra — brought to you by CBS Sunday Morning’s overly enthusiastic Mo Rocca. Vintage clips of her variety shows and nightclub performances? Yes, please.

Yes, we will be getting this book and downloading the audio book. Please, and thank you.

yes, darling

Till next week….

Remembering Matthew Perry

As the Chair continues to work on his SNL book (he’s in the Trump era now, so please have mercy on him), the crew at Notes from a Chair would like to honor the legacy and memory of beloved Friends star Matthew Perry, who tragically passed at only 54 this weekend.

Here’s a few clips from an season 1 episode of Friends (“The One with the Blackout”) featuring an early indication of just how brilliant of a comedic actor he was.

Rest in peace, Chandler Bing. ❤️
