In a way, this message is brought to you by the Glendale Public Library. John Mulaney announces the #Emmy award for Lead Actor in a Drama like only a man's man can.

absolutely wheezing at an Instagram clip of comic Stevie Martin (who I love from being a maniac on Taskmaster) claiming that Shakespeare only had three plays: 1. “I’m Not a Good Monarch” 2. “I’ll Pretend To Be You, You Hide Behind That Plant, and We’ll Both Marry Her” 3. “The Lion King”
