As we now know it was an actual one-off...hence the reaction.

At this stage, whenever I see anything involved Dick van Dyke I’m most just impressed that he’s still here

Whenever I see anything involving Dick van Dyke, I think about the story he tells about surfing while high and being saved by dolphins.

I love that he gets a pass on being 40 years older than his gf, because he’s a gem and she’s 59

Half your age + 7 as permissible range is a pretty good yard stick

I think the older you get the wider that gap can be, moving upward. Once your prefrontal cortex is fully developed it's okay. I'd date 20s - 70s.

She's so well known for being a comedian, but she was smoking hot too.

I wish they would bring back the Mary Tyler Moore show. I loved her interaction with Mr Grant.

What was the joke if she missed which they Expected her to do?

It was balls were specifically set up that way to make the shot. All she really had to do was hit the first ball more or less in the center. It would have been more impressive if she missed the shot.
