"The episode takes an emotional turn when Rosenthal films inside his hotel room while enjoying a to-go order from D.C.’s legendary bagel brand Call Your Mother. He Zooms in prolific sitcom writer and dear friend Norman Lear, who ended up passing away a few months later at age 101 on December 5, 2023. Greeting Lear with a “mazel tov,” Rosenthal says “we may not know much but we know about this,” pointing to his bagel and lox in hand. On a serious note, he asks Lear whether he’s optimistic about the state of the U.S., to which he responds: “There’s never been a more concerning time.” In true Lear style, he ends the call by telling a joke. The episode closes out “in memory of Norman.”" - Tierney Plumb
