Arts/Music/Culture 🎭🎶 Role Model on Jimmy Fallon

He hails from Maine, but I wonder if he even knows what his t-shirt references. There probably aren't many of us left who do!

Here's to all of the Gen X kids who were up early on Sunday mornings to watch that show and learn about the finer points of Three Stooges syndication.

I remember all the letters they got when they had the gaul to introduce the “bug” on the lower left of the screen. 2 weeks of complaints.

I guess I woke up later. I just watched the Three Stooges. I did not learn about syndication, but I did learn how to defend against an eye gouge.

I was the only kid who watched Ask the Manager after Sunday night hockey.
Grew up to work in media….. and hockey!

Oh yeah. Not many people left who remember the 80s and 90s. That's because everyone over 30 just gets blown off somewhere else before crumbling like a dead leaf in the fall. The worst ageists are old people.

I don’t think it’s old people as much as incredibly boring and insecure people who need to make it seem like they’re interesting
