If I was a writer on #SNL I would definitely have the cold open be Cardi B playing Nicki Minaj at the Treasury Event with Donald Trump and taking questions from the crowd. That would be gold @nbcsnl #SaturdayNightLive @SNLUpdate

Indiana brought the swagger this season. Congratulations Curt Cignetti and the #Hoosiers for a incredible season. #CollegeFootballPlayoffs #Indiana

Randy Newman said it best: I Love LA.

What a game. #NFLPlayoffs

I was so inspired by ER I was looking at physician assistant programs and LPN programs just to get a foot in the door in the medical field.

[Kyle Sarpong @hgdcdm]

#ER leaving #Hulu in 12 days is pretty wild. I remember binging ER Summer 2021 and it got me absolutely hooked on the medical dramas.

All smiles for #Indiana this game up 24-0 over Alabama. #RoseBowl

[Kyle Sarpong @hgdcdm]

Simpson scrambling leads to a fumble recovery by Indiana! #RoseBowl

[Kyle Sarpong @hgdcdm]

#Hoosiers with an 8:55 minute drive down the field sets them up for a FG. Running game doing pretty good vs the Bama defense. #RoseBowl

[Kyle Sarpong @hgdcdm]

Ray Lewis and Michael Irvin going crazy on the sidelines. Congrats Miami Hurricanes! #CottonBowlClassic

There’s something about Fine Young Cannibals that instantly puts me back in the late 80 - 90s, even if I heard them through commercials more than radio.

[Kyle Sarpong @hgdcdm]

However I did enjoy seeing more of Kam Patterson on this #SNL episode. He was in more sketches and had a great role in weekend update with Michael Che. Hopeful to see him progress and shine more.

[Kyle Sarpong @hgdcdm]

A proper #SNL farewell send off for #BowenYang . Monologue + Weekend Update + Final sketch with Ariana Grande and Cher and then the closing send off. We will miss you Bowen!

Growing up is realizing confidence doesn’t come with a manual. You just make decisions, learn, and adjust in real time.

As Sinéad O’Connor said in The Emperor’s New Clothes: “How could I possibly know what I want when I was only twenty-one?”

[Kyle Sarpong @hgdcdm]

I have friends who are Gen X and also early millennials who can’t stand U2 or Bono. I get it, some people dislike music when they’re kids and have some issue even years and decades later.

[Kyle Sarpong @hgdcdm]

Growing up, #U2 was just there. Beautiful Day, Vertigo, Bono’s voice cutting through everything. Still hits.

Mysterious Ways and One was in my top 5 for YouTube Music 2025 rewind. Just something about Achtung Baby, still is good after 30+ years.

As an avid WWE watcher from the golden ages circa 2005 - 2009, John Cena was a wrestler I despised.

But in the era of Shawn Michaels and Undertaker and Kane and Rey Mysterio, John Cena always came out on top, persevering adversity.

Happy retirement #JohnCena

Another gem by Diana Ross is Ain’t No Mountain High Enough! I first heard it in Grey’s Anatomy and it’s always a delight when I replay it 💜

[Kyle Sarpong @hgdcdm]

Diana Ross’ Upside Down is blowing up thanks to #StrangerThings5. I first heard it during a 2018 5K Race in Stillwater— I turned on Kool 108 and heard Casey Kasem’s Top 40 throwback. Been bopping to it ever since!
