Last night Julia Louis-Dreyfus returned to 30 Rock last night to host Saturday Night Live, the show that gave her, her television debut. Louis-Dreyfus didn't get much air time back in the 80's when she was a castmember- the show either wasn't a good fit or show's producers just didn't know how to use her. But everything worked out fine, she went on to become a giant success on shows like Seinfeld, The New Adventures of Old Christine, and Veep. And last night's show was full of winks and nods and outright homages to her lack of success on SNL and gigantic post-SNL career, including visits from Seinfeld's co-creator Larry David, and Veep co-host Tony Hale.

MOONTOWER COMEDY & ODDITY FESTIVAL is back up this month, running from April 20th through the 23. Since its inception in 2012, Moontower has been one of the highlights of the festival year, bringing together an incredible lineup of comedy stars, comics just about to break, and international stars who you might not be familiar with yet. More focused on fans than industry, Moontower also has a reputation for being a comedy summer camp- three days where comics and fans can chill out, enjoy great bbq, drink, and enjoy one the city and the comedy. The venues are all close enough together that you don't need a car if you're staying nearby, adding to the community vibe, the parties are excellent, the ping pong tournament has become legendary but none of that matters without great comedy, and the comedy is always great.

Peter Dinklage will be hosting SNL tonight. It's his first time hosting. Expect to see some tits and dragons or at least a few maidens on SNL-- although Dinklage has a long and varied resume, he's currently known and loved for his Emmy winning performance on HBO's Game of Thrones as Tyrion Lannister.
