In These Times is at a crossroads and we urgently need your support. Will you help us raise $50,000 by the end of the week?

In an SNL sketch that cut after dress rehearsal, Guy Fieri (Bobby Moynihan) reacts to Pete Wells’ scathing NYT review of Guy’s American Kitchen and Bar.

Best line: Reading is how the eyes eat!
