The 10 Funniest Pop-Culture Stories Out There Today and 10 Bonus Trivia Bits

It’s officially midweek, but nothing in today’s edition is mid, trust me. We’ve got a computational analysis of Mark Hamill and the most offensive SNL sketch you’ve never seen (and can see for now on Peacock), for starters.
