That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 121: Sam Rockwell/Halsey (Jan. 13, 2018)We're back for the first episode of 2024 and finally getting around to one that we've had on the back burner for awhile now. Yes, we did slightly cover this one all the way back at the birth of the show on an early Off Week but now we're digging full bore into one of our favorite modern SNL outings! Get ready for fun, adventure and bracing Tim Cicali monologues!2024-01-261h 56That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 105: Sarah Michelle Gellar/Portishead (Jan. 17, 1998) We're back with our first mainline episode of 2023 and it's the first of Sarah Michelle Gellar's three hosting gigs! We discuss an unruly Norm, the unbeatable physique Tim Meadows, that gerbil show (??), debate the sleepy charms of Portishead and more! This podcast drives a Dodge Stratus!              2023-01-271h 45That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 104: Bill Murray/The Spinners & The Yale Whiffenpoofs (Dec. 12, 1981) The threat of apocalypse hangs over every moment of this decidedly chilly Christmas episode of SNL so we've called upon the dual forces of Tim Barnes and Ian Abramson to lighten things up a bit. It's the last stand of Michael O'Donoghue's vision for the show and as usual he never fails to bring the goods, with forces both internal and external colliding for the darkest holiday outing ever.              2022-12-231h 38That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 101: Kevin Bacon/INXS (Feb. 9, 1991) We're going all the way back to the subject of our very first test episode we recorded for the show to give it another go, this time minus a Timmy but adding a William. And really, it's an episode with a lot of firsts: the first Stuart Smalley, the first credited episode for Tim Meadows & Adam Sandler and the whole thing just generally points to the future of the show. It's up to you to decide if that's a good or a bad thing.              2022-11-112h 27That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 98: Sigourney Weaver/No Musical Guest (Oct. 11, 1986) We're kicking off our sixth season of the show with special guest Tim Barnes to explore the beginning of the show's Silver Age, Lorne's second attempt to reboot the show after returning. It's the first episode for Phil, Dana, Jan, Kevin and Victoria and somehow, with no REAL credited musical guest, also manages to pack in four musical segments. It's got some bangers. It's got some clangers. It's got a format the show wouldn't ever really try again. SNL. It's back, baby.  2022-09-302h 17That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Off Week 29: Brain Smasher...A Love Story (1993) We return to our podcasting roots by talking some Albert Pyun directed B-movie schlock starring Andrew Dice Clay, Teri Hatcher and featuring Charlie Rocket. We expected trash. What we actually got was much different.      2021-09-101h 23That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 61: No Host/Rod Stewart (Oct. 3, 1981)Season 4 BEGINS! This week, Ian Abramson (SNQ, Gary Busey: Pet Judge) joins us to break down the first TRUE episode of the Dick Ebersol era. We get some classic Eddie Murphy material, a somewhat distasteful Yoko Ono short, juggling antics from Michael Davis and more!2020-10-021h 43That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Off Week 23: Wieners (2008) Released in 2008 (but filmed in 2004? 2000? 1998?), Wieners stars SNL alums Kenan Thompson and Darrell Hammond in a gross-out road trip film that has a surprisingly impressive cast list and more than a few decent laughs in it.     2020-09-041h 16That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Off Week 22: Neighbors (1981)This week, we do battle with one of the most confounding motion pictures we've seen in quite some time: Neighbors from 1981. Featuring Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi playing against type and directed by John G. Avildsen of Rocky and Karate Kid fame, Neighbors is a dark comedy that ALMOST comes together...but mostly serves to destroy our brains.2020-08-211h 15That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Off Week 21: The ABC Pilot Version Of Bizarre (with Richard Dawson!)With it's mix of vulgar humor, topless ladies and Bob Einstein's Super Dave character, Bizarre was an early hit for Showtime, landing six seasons and even a spin-off show. It's a fascinating document of early cable TV sketch comedy. But...we're not watching that today. No, we've decided to go back to see what the show looked like when it was being potentially produced for ABC, with host Richard Dawson in place of John Byner. Mistakes might have been made.2020-08-0748 minThat Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Off Week 20: Eddie Murphy and The S45 Progress ReportThis week we're having a little free form discussion about the Eddie Murphy Christmas episode and our thoughts on season 45 so far. Also, some small corrections and additions to our MADtv episode.2020-07-2457 minThat Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Off Week 19: MADtv's First Christmas Episode (Dec. 16, 1995)We're taking a look at one of SNL's longest surviving competitors, MADtv and it's first Christmas episode! We discuss the history of the show, it's cast members and the rather weird Holiday episode they put together in '95 that features both Pauly Shore and a whole lotta of sadness.2020-07-101h 26That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Off Week 18: Fridays and The Andy Kaufman Incident (Feb. 20, 1981)In April of 1980, ABC launched their own live sketch to compete with SNL entitled Fridays. Despite lasting only three seasons, the show was able to build a voice of it's own and knock out a number of memorable episodes. None were more infamous than this one, with guest host Andy Kaufman deciding to implode the entire episode. Was it real? Was it fake? We dive deep on one of the most fascinating moments in live television.2020-06-2658 minThat Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)The Music Of That Week Volume 2 Once again, another mix of legendary SNL musical performances and interstitial songs from the podcast! Track listing: 1. Derrick J. Hines: Way Back Saturday Night Sax 2. Foo Fighters: Rope (4-9-2011) 3. Michael Kiwanuka: You Ain't The Problem 4. Aretha Franklin: Can't Turn You Loose (12-6-1980) 5.

Satan: Sparklebrite...2020-06-131h 00That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)End Of Season 3 Wrap Up Good Time Hour!We're kicking back this week and celebrating the end of our third season with questions from the audience, clips from the show, season 45 discussion, some music and other fun things!2020-05-302h 14That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 60: Woody Harrelson/Vanessa Williams (May 16, 1992)We're saving the best for last with one of the most gleefully offensive episodes of the show ever! It's also the final show for Beth Cahill, Siobhan Fallon and Victoria Jackson and it pulls no punches, despite being one of the more apolitical episodes we've seen in quite some time.2020-05-161h 31That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 59: Lindsay Lohan/Usher (May 1, 2004)It's a weird, wild and chaotic one. This episode not only features the most popular (?!) SNL sketch of all time but also mass loads of breaking, a show-stopping outburst from someone in the audience, exploitation of an underage host and a surprising amount of fun.2020-05-091h 24That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 58: Zach Galifianakis/Of Monsters And Men (May 4, 2013)This week, we're covering the third (and sadly, final) hosting gig for ol' Zach Galifianakis! There's a few direct connections to the Helen Mirren episode we just covered but this one is always remembered for the one-two punch of the mighty Darrell's House. And strap yourselves in for the saltiest music discussion yet!2020-05-021h 28That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Notes From The Quarantine: The RevengeIt's another bonus report from the quarantine! This time around we're discussing the SNL At Home special, wondering around the woods, gettin' in some video gaming and more!2020-04-2537 minThat Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 57: Helen Mirren/Foo Fighters (April 9, 2011)We're completing our "Caligula on SNL" set this week with Helen Mirren! This episode is an odd collection of the very good and the very bad (which is strange for SNL, I know), but we definitely get some certified classics in here. And the Foo Fighters kick ass so there's also that.2020-04-111h 09That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 56: Richard Benjamin/Ricki Lee Jones (April 7, 1979)Belushi is absent. The sketches are few and very, very long. The musical guest is an acquired taste. All the makings for a mess of an episode but this one steers right past that into classic territory. Settle in for a surprisingly chaotic break down of one of the most fascinating episodes of SNL ever.2020-04-041h 26That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Another Notes From The QuarantineThis week in efforts to keep sane: the second episode of Saturday Night Quarantine, Tiger King, Australian post-apocalyptic exploitation trash and more!2020-03-3132 minThat Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 55: Paul Reiser/Annie Lennox (March 18, 1995)We're again returned to the ever infamous season 20 to see what depths the show can fall. Is the Paul Reiser the deepest crater the show has ever created? Quite possibly. With such classics as Sparklebrite, One Brother Restaurant and even a little bit of plagiarism, Paul Reiser/Annie Lennox makes a strong case as the worst episode of all time.2020-03-271h 17That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Notes From The QuarantineHere's a little bit of extra nonsense: our journeys through the first week of the quarantine! We discuss Ian Abramson's fantastic Saturday Night Quarantine live stream, trying to unravel the mysteries of mahjong and a few films, including The Hunt!2020-03-2430 minThat Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Off Week 17: Bordello Of Blood (1996)Bordello of Blood is the second theatrically released Tales From The Crypt film and man, it's a doozy. A troubled production stemming from a cranky and unwilling Dennis Miller nearly threatens to sink a movie that is, at times, kinda fun. We break it all down.2020-03-181h 03That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 54: Billy Crystal/Al Jarreau (March 17, 1984)This week, we welcome Justin Hart from the Telehell podcast to discuss a childhood favorite of his: Billy Crystal's season 9 hosting stint! We get a surprising Purim theme, the debut of Fernando and a bunch of questionable ethnic choices.2020-03-071h 50That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 53: Garth Brooks (Feb. 28, 1998)Last season, we covered Garth Brooks' second hosting gig from S25 and ended up receiving countless requests to cover this one as well. And so, here we are: the first outing of SNL's most unlikely beloved hosts of the 90s, Garth Brooks. We got old French whores, grizzled old men (hi, Robert Duvall!), Shelly Long movie trailers and...Mango!2020-02-291h 18That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 52: Fred Savage/Technotronic (Feb. 24, 1990)This week, we're pumping up the jams with one of the youngest hosts the show has ever had: Fred Savage! Fresh from the highs of the cinematic masterpiece The Wizard, Fred anchors the show like a seasoned professional and delivers yet another strong outing for season 15. A small cameo from Rosie Perez is just icing on the cake.2020-02-081h 19That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 51: Robert Klein/Bonnie Raitt (January 28, 1978)Hoooo whee, this is a big one! This is one of the most fondly remembered episodes in the show's history, complete with the debuts of The Olympia Cafe, The Nerds and Nick The Lounge Singer's famous "Star Wars" song. But the real focal point is the beautiful chaos the show closes out on: The Atomic Lobsters, one of the most impressive sketches the show ever tried to pull off live. 2020-02-011h 27That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 50: Peter Sarsgaard/The Strokes (Jan. 21, 2006)It's January so you know what that means: it's weird character actor time! Peter Sarsgaard drops by the show for a real strange one. Not only do we get TWO sketches based around his name, we also get one that nearly implodes live. It's a beautiful, horrible mess.2020-01-251h 24That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Bonus Patreon Preview: Elliot Gould/Kid Creole & The Coconuts (Nov. 15, 1980)To fight back against the boredom from SNL's long winter holiday break, we've decided to let loose an episode from behind the ol' Patreon pay wall! It's the first episode from season 6 and we talk about the events that led up to Jean Doumanian getting the job, set the table for the rest of the season and dig into the horrors that await us!2020-01-111h 26That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 49: Eddie Murphy/Robert Plant & The Honeydrippers (Dec. 15, 1984)It's our big ol' honkin' Christmas extravaganza with John Murray of the SNL Afterparty podcast! This week, we're covering Eddie Murphy's first grand return to studio 8H with his 1984 episode (featuring the perennial classic, White Like Me). Elsewhere, we talk Paw Patrol, try to make sense of the dense layers in Lishman's Deli and more!2019-12-211h 55That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 48: Danny DeVito/R.E.M. (Dec. 11, 1999)It's the last show of the millennium and Danny DeVito is on hand to host what is quite possibly the horniest Christmas episode of SNL ever. Sex jokes! Body parts! Al Franken! Come party like it's 1999...because it is.2019-12-131h 15That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 47: John Cena/Maren Morris (Dec. 10, 2016)This week, we're jumping back only a few years to revisit those halcyon days of season 42. Does the show's most recent moment in the sun hold up? We'd like to think so. Containing what is still the show's best and most concise satire of Trump, there's also a bizarre Bryan Cranston cameo, an early Anna Drezen classic, round bananas and more!2019-12-071h 13That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 46: Bea Arthur/The Roches (Nov. 17, 1979)Last year we covered the Betty White episode and had so much fun with that one that this week, we're traveling back to the original era to find the only other Golden Girl that hosted the show: Bea Arthur! Join us as we explore the bizarre atmosphere of season 5 and semi-controversial Al Franken pieces "First He Cries" and the Weekend Update cockroach massacre!2019-11-231h 10That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 45: Michael McKean/Chaka Khan (Nov. 3, 1984)Before he was a cast member (but AFTER he was a musical guest), Michael McKean stops by the show for a little Spinal Tap reunion. Oddly enough this one looks to the future, featuring the birth of The Folksmen some twenty years before "A Mighty Wind" was released! There's also a Billy Crystal sketch we actually enjoyed, scattered weirdness and a heavy dose of Rock 'N' America!2019-11-161h 37That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 44: Chris Rock/The Wallflowers (Nov. 2, 1996)Fresh off the success of Bring The Pain, SNL alum Chris Rock comes home for the first time and he's got Dana Carvey in tow. We've got a whole bunch of Bob Dole, an early TV Funhouse, some returning Chris Rock favorites, Charles Grodin and even a bit of Stephen Colbert.2019-11-011h 20That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 43: Jon Hamm/Coldplay (Oct. 25, 2008)This week, Mad Men's own Jon Hamm stops by to deliver a modern day Halloween classic! We get two all-time great Forte moments, a guilty pleasure Digital Short, Bill Hader's Vincent Price and THREE Coldplay songs...if you're into that sort of thing. Solid as Barack indeed.2019-10-121h 19That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 42: George Carlin/Billy Preston & Janis Ian (Oct. 11, 1975)This week, we're going all the way back to the beginning. That's right. Season One. Episode One. The big one. The birth of SNL. It's one of the show's most unique episodes, with more discrete segments than nearly any other episode. Things come flying fast and we're breaking it all down (and manage to discuss a bit of the second episode as well).2019-10-051h 24That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 41: Kyle MacLachlan/Sinead O'Connor (Sept. 29, 1990)We're kicking off our third season with one of the show's most fondly remembered premieres! Take a trip back to a wonderfully weird time in America's history when Twin Peaks and Sinead O'Connor were both surprisingly popular and Chris Rock & Farley were just getting started on the show. Featuring fun with commercials!2019-09-281h 13That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Off Week 16: Pre-Season 45 ShenanigansIn an episode already semi-outdated a mere 24 hours after recording it, we sit down to discuss the upcoming 45th season of SNL!

We got Coneheads. We got Emily Litella. We got the Samurai. Hell, even the damn Land Shark shows up! And sadly, It all sounds better than it actually is.2019-05-181h 07That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 39: Bob Saget/TLC (May 6, 1995)This week, we return to a troubled time in SNL history by dipping back into the infamous season 20 with Bob Saget's episode. Is it as painful Deion Sander's show, the only episode to receive a zero on our podcast? Generally, yes.2019-05-101h 01That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 38: Betty White/Jay-Z (May 8, 2010)In 2010, a Facebook campaign to get Betty White to host the show actually managed to work and so, alongside a murderers row of returning female cast members, Betty knocked down the doors of 8H for a memorable Mother's Day epic.2019-05-031h 18That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Off Week 14: Toonces and Friends Prime Time Special (1992)It's our last Off Week of the season so we're in a boozy and celebratory mood as we cover the Toonces and Friends Prime Time special from 1992! Also within, we do some talking to the audience and even have a special announcement!2019-04-2046 minThat Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 37: Dolly Parton (April 15, 1989)This week we welcome fellow salty old dog, Mario Lanza (Staff Picks, SNL Afterparty) onto the show to explore the Dolly Parton episode from 1989! Within we discuss the greatness that is Dolly, the legacy of Dennis Miller, Mike Meyer's strong start on the show and more!2019-04-131h 10That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 36: Rob Lowe/Spice Girls (April 12, 1997)After covering the entirety of season 21 last year, we've finally decided to dip our toes into season 22. What we find is a whole bunch of Heavens Gate and Ellen coming out as gay material, sprinkled with some dead bodies, Goth Talk, misogyny in game show form, further battles with Norm and Robert De Niro's best guest appearance!2019-04-061h 11That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Off Week 13: Dead Heat (1988)Dead Heat is a masterpiece of B-movie proportions. This little action/sci-fi/horror/comedy stars Joe Piscopo and Treat Williams and it's just a blast. A revenge film with slowly decomposing super-powered zombies and even a little bit of Vincent Price! You just can't go wrong.2019-03-2238 minThat Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Off Week 12: All That! Season One Premiere (December 31, 1994)With the recent news that Kenan Thompson will producing a new reboot of All That, we've decided to go back to one of it's earliest episodes to see where it all began. What we find is Kenan's first outing as Cosby, the debut of Good Burger, plenty of Lynchian nightmare fuel and even a few good laughs.2019-03-1638 minThat Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 35: George Wendt & Francis Ford Coppola/Philip Glass (March 22, 1986)This week, we're exploring one of the most idiosyncratic episodes the show has ever done! Our host is George Wendt but the real star attraction is Francis Ford Coppola as this episode's "Guest director". It all adds up to one of the few times the show has completely broken format to allow an episode-length story to be told and by god, we love it.2019-03-091h 13That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 34: Bruce Dern/Leon Redbone (March 12, 1983)We've covered some bizarre, chaotic episodes of SNL before but nothing in our experience comes close to this one. Not only does this show include the first of the Buckwheat Is Dead trilogy but all sorts of other goodies like suicide, incest, racism, mental health issues and more! And somehow, in the middle of all this, we manage to talk a bit about Harlem Nights.2019-02-281h 09That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Off Week 11: One More Saturday Night (1986)In 1986, Al Franken and Tom Davis wrote and starred in a small, slice-of-life film about a bunch of people in a small Midwestern town trying to get laid on a Saturday night. Nobody saw it and it faded into obscurity. This week, we're digging it back up from the forgotten realm and exploring it as best we can before the delirium claims us.2019-02-2328 minThat Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 33: Tom Hanks/Aerosmith (Feb. 17, 1990)This week, we're looking back at a classic and seeing how it how holds up. Featuring one of the most famous Wayne's World sketches ever! Inexplicably this leads to Trump discussion, Russians, Chris Hansen, bizarro commercials from 1990 and more!!2019-02-161h 08That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 32: Jamie Lee Curtis/The Fixx (Feb. 18, 1984)We're heading back to Ebersol Land to complete the Halloween trifecta with Jamie Lee Curtis and The Fixx!

What he came up with was Mr. Mike's Mondo Video, an avant-garde kaleidoscope of near incomprehensible madness. We attempt to make sense of it all.2019-02-0250 minThat Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 31: Jason Patric/Blind Melon (Jan. 8, 1994)Few hosts are as hard to get a bead on as Jason Patric is. Is he uninterested in hosting the show? Is it all a big put on? Is it somewhere in the middle? Join us as we attempt to unravel the mystery.2019-01-261h 28That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)Episode 30: Drake (Jan. 18, 2014)This week we're exploring a fairly important episode for both SNL and us! Not only is this the one that got us back into watching the modern era of the show but it's also Sasheer Zamata's first episode as well!
