  • Ned Ryerson's actor is picked, with a proposal to rename the award after him; he embraced being a that guy, and this role is his Lincoln Memorial rather than a Mount Rushmore.
  • The rename would need a check with CR; he is definitely in the Hall of Fame.
  • His sleazy harasser of Bridget Fonda in Single White Female is hard to accept because he is so identified as Ned Ryerson.
  • A favorite bit is Ned hugging him immediately and asking whether he can call in sick while holding him.
