Robby Hoffman Season Is Officially Upon Us
Appearing as a guest on Everybody's Live with John Mulaney—Mulaney's dryly absurdist, essentially experimental late-night Netflix series—is not for the faint of heart. Robby Hoffman, however, carried it off like a pro. On a recent episode titled 'Are You Ready for Real ID?,' the 35-year-old comedian stole the show. Wearing her signature wire-rimmed glasses, button-down shirt over a white tee, and low, carefully slicked-back bun, she generously procured a vape from her pocket to share with Andy Samberg; displayed her catlike ability to steal out of an airplane seat without disturbing her neighbors; and pointedly referred to the government's new ID requirements for domestic travel as 'an attack on the poor, like everything else is.' (Her argument: 'Who has passports? Wealthier people. The poorest people don't have ID.') From some Los Angeles-based alt comedians, the latter might sound like a bid for socialist cred. But as the seventh of 10 children raised by a single mother, Hoffman knows what she's talking about. 'We had nothing,' Hoffman tells me plainly, describing her Hasidic Jewish childhood in Brooklyn and, later, Montreal. 'But my mom's taste in culture and art and movies was phenomenal. We watched everything: Spike Lee, Woody Allen, Barbra Streisand.'

John Oliver slams plan for Saturday Night Live UK
The iconic late-night comedy show has been on the air in the USA for 50 years, and fans were surprised last month when Sky announced plans to begin a UK version. Similar formats have struggled to exist in the UK - with ITV's The Nightly Show and Channel 4's Saturday Live being compared to the US comedy juggernaut only to be swiftly cancelled after failing to find an audience. Oliver, 48, has hosted his successful Last Week Tonight show on HBO since 2014, but thinks a UK version of Saturday Night Live will flop.
