The Featured Players: An SNL PodcastEpisode #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...
2020-12-141h 46The Featured Players: An SNL PodcastEpisode #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...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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.

Chance the Rapper started on Soundcloud and our podcast is hosted on Soundcloud. Maybe we can host too? In the meantime, here's the latest episode of the podcast that we are definitely for sure the hosts of.

We're back after a long 2 month absence, which for some reason was only 3 episodes? 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.

2020-09-201h 24The Featured Players: An SNL PodcastEpisode #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.
