    We just got the heartbreaking news that our dear friend and Score Keeper Emeritus Carl Kasell has passed away. Carl was warm, funny, caring, and put up with our nonsense with a knowing smile and a wink. In a word, he was a gentleman. Love you, Carl. npr.org/2017/05/16/528…

    “The senator’s time has expired” has never felt more appropriate than after John McCain’s set of questions.

    It’s our 24th anniversary today, and we’re celebrating turning 24 in the traditional way: by breaking up with our commitment-phobic boyfriend and asking our stylist to give us bangs that we instantly regret

    It’s an incredi-Bill day, because it’s Bill Kurtis’ 80th birthday!! 🎂🎉 We’re so lucky to have a judge and scorekeeper who knows how to count without using his fingers. Stay classy Bill 😎

    My favorite part of tonight’s #GameofThrones was the 5 minute trailer before the episode for HBO’s new shows, all of which are titled, “SWEET JESUS, PLEASE DON’T CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT.”
