Baldwin on the phone: "You hang up, Maureen ... no, you hang up ... okay, on three ... one, two, three ... no, I didn't hang up either, Maureen ... wait, Maureen, you're breaking up ... I lost the call." [proceeds to have whole other conversation, then turns to assistant] "Get me Maureen Dowd back on the phone."

Anyway. Top five moments so far:
1. Dennis' speech to Liz. "I cried like a big dumb homo." And "You have chosen to abort me." (I miss Dennis.)2. "I have two ears and a heart, don't I?"3. Tracy falls asleep on Conan. It's all about the buildup to it.4. "I already have a drink. Do you think he'll buy me mozzarella sticks?"5. Pretty much every line delivered by Alec Baldwin. But maybe especially, "I know what I know. Next time I see Putin I'm going to kick his teeth in."4.

People's taste for shock humor over the years seems to come in and out like the tide... it's either all the rage or causing it.

really thought the joke was p straightforwardly 'that man meets two corporate diversity check marks and will definitely be the hire' but interesting to hear other perspectives
This is what I and my partner got originally as well - it's not that we missed the lampooning of the old boys' club but it also seemed to be making this joke at the same time. I'm not sure it did critique the idea of the 'advantages' someone gains by 'ticking these boxes', esp since it is implied that Garkel might be faking his disability (whereas the irl response of the old boys' network would probably be closer to "ah, but then we'd have to install push buttons at the doors, which goes far beyond reasonable accommodations; sorry, guess my boy Floyd is the only practical choice" than "no way Floyd can compete with that"). And I'm not sure Tina Fey would have made this joke with a middle-aged white woman as the prop, in a wheelchair or otherwise.

And I mean, Garkel got the job. I don't recall any suggestion that it was because of his qualifications - if anything, the larger joke was that merit doesn't enter into it one way or the other.
