The return of the Secretaries in: “Is He?”

Some stray observations:

1. Can you believe we’ve been running Kids in the Hall Monday on and off for six months now and this is only the second Secretaries sketch we’ve done yet?

2. Bruce McCullough had enchanting calves.

3. There are so many wonderful little details to love here, Scott Thompson’s chunky necklace chief among them. These guys treated drag with respect. There’s a lot of love for the way a middle-aged, not-too-well-off woman who wants to look her best for work would dress herself in this scene.

4. Scott’s got a poster of a clean-cut, good-looking man hung up on the wall just behind him and I can’t for the life of me figure out who it is. I want to say Tom Skerritt, but I know that’s wrong.

5. The way Bruce sighs at the end of a particularly unpleasant sentence. “Work. [hyahhh]”

6. Scott’s Kathy is clearly Monk #2 to Bruce’s Monk #1. Joan Holloway could learn a great deal from Scott’s Kathy, come to think of it.

7. “I’m so full of beans today.”

8. “He’s biiiiii. Worst-case scenario.”

9. Do all Canadians say pasta that way? “Pahst-tah?” Oh, I miss Nicole already.

10. That cheer at the end is both earned and deserved. God bless those secretaries. Even Tanya the Temp.
