Hello Out There
16 - Haus Of Liza (with Beth Benderoff)
While the van charges in the parking lot, Andie and Number Four break into a seemingly abandoned theater in search of snacks... only to find that it's very much occupied by a living legend. Andie - Lyndi Macke (@LyndiMacke)Number Four - Taylor Davis (@ETCDavis)Liza Minnelli/Michelle - Beth Benderoff (@BabyBendo)Beth is an Oklahoman in Toronto, and one of the hosts of The Featured Players podcast (@FeaturedSNL).

Episode #42 - Timothée Chalamet / Bruce Springsteen (with Nick Bihm)
Timothée Chalamet has a famous aunt and uncle who got him into LaGuardia Airport but this week's guest, Nick Bihm of the "Dan4Lyfe" podcast, joins us entirely based on merit. Listen as Nick shows the gang his SNL Google doc which includes his favourite Kenan Thompson sketches. Generally everyone liked this episode of SNL which means no one knows quite what to do with themselves. Along the way there's a big digression about All That and The Amanda Show, as well as speculation as to whether or not Max Weinberg and Questlove chatted during the goodnights about w...

Episode #41 - Jason Bateman / Morgan Wallen (w/Sean Patrick O'Brien)
Did you miss us? Yeah didn't think so. The Featured Players return to talk Jason Bateman with special guest Sean Patrick O'Brien of Seltzercast and the new documentary 'Introducing...Juan Wauters'. Everyone has some choice 4 letter words for Morgan Wallen, Sean reminisces about how things on SNL were just a little bit simpler back in his day, and Brendan makes an embarrassing confession about laughing at one of Michael Che's Update jokes. But what you'll REALLY want to know is which Jason Bateman movie young Bram attended the world premiere of. It wasn't Office Christmas Party, but we sure...

Episode #40 - John Mulaney / The Strokes (w/Skylar Verduzco) [ELECTION 2020]
Skylar Verduzco (@MisnamedPlants) joins the panel to chat all things John Mulaney. Everyone is very sad that NBC’s Connecting was cancelled. There is also an election happening when you’re reading this probably. Or maybe it already happened and you’re in a better place than we currently are. Hopefully not a worse one. We just want you to be okay. Call us if you need anything. Featuring voicemails from last week's guest Deirdre Crean, Kyra Kaufer of The Zillennial Canon pod and host of the Dan 4 Lyfe podcast Nick Bihm!

Episode #39 - Adele / H.E.R. (with Deirdre Crean)
Should we give up, or should we just keep chasing podcasts? Musician/dental assistant’s friend Deirdre Crean from the Mike Myers Movie Club stops by to talk about the Adele-hosted SNL. Deidre explains if and how Adele gets paid for singing her own songs on television, Beth reveals the Oklahoman equivalent of a skyscraper, Brendan drops obscure architectural trivia for some reason, and Bram teases the listeners with an epic song parody idea that he will not go into further details on. Plus, just in time for spooky season, everyone has way too strong of an opi...

Episode #38 - Issa Rae/Justin Bieber [w/Kid Cinema (Fesh) and Mr Movies (JZT)]
Jean-Bram and Jean-Brendan continue in their search for Drake, this time joined by JZT and Fesh (Mr. Movies & Kid Cinema) from the "I Was Scared, Too!" podcast. It's a good ol fashioned podcast foursome in which the gang discusses how the politics of SNL don't necessarily align with its behind the scenes leadership, whether or not Andrew Dismukes could get typecast as miscellaneous delivery men/messengers, and why Michael Che is weirdly obsessed with prison jokes. We recorded this a few hours before it was announced Adele is next week's host, so listen to find out which Muppet we hoped w...

Episode #37 - Bill Burr / Jack White
So many Bs! Beth, Bram, and Brendan return to discuss Bill Burr’s big breakout on SNL! Listen to find out why Beth predicts the season will end before the election (hint: it’s exactly the reason you think), Bram and Brendan debate how worried we should be about the sophomore FPs, and the three also discuss what the show might look like post-Lorne Michaels. Also, everyone cringes when subjected to Morgan Wallen’s apology video. But is it worst than Justin Bieber’s first ever appearance on Canadian religious television? We’re so thankful you chose to listen - your che...

Episode #35 - Season 46 Preview
Reboot fever continues! Following their lengthy legal dispute over the podcast’s ownership (and countless NDAs), hosts Bram Benderoff and Brendan Noel are back, now joined by musical guest and baby in residence Beth Benderoff (no relation). In their season 46 preview show, the trio try to predict just what an SNL season produced in Studio 8H during the COVID-19 pandemic will look like. There’s talk about whether the show’s largest ever cast (20!!) will overwhelm the three new featured players – Andrew Dismukes, Lauren Holt, and Punkie Johnson – and our regret to inform you that the celebrity cameos are at it agai...

The first ever Featured Players situation of a guest recording in the same location as a host! Beth Ann Benderoff (formerly Goodin) rejoins the podcast in a worthy earning of a 5-timer title.

The Featured Players: An SNL Podcast
Episode #1 - No. 8 White Boys (Pilot!)
Original Airdate: Feb 25, 2016 Holy Chalupa! Us terrifying TV nerds may have created the 7th or 8th SNL podcast, therefore this will establish some ground rules. Each week we'll focus on the Featured cast members, and for our first episode we discuss both the Repertory Cast (04:15), and the Featured Cast (28:30). We announce a recurring segment (1:00:57), have an in-depth discussion about Fuller House & #PeakTV (1:05:46), and quibble over the prospects of Deadpool hosting SNL (1:28:05). Have a hoot and please clap.
