The Not Ready for Prime Time Project: An SNL Retrospective

Bill Swerski's Tournament Talk: Best SNL Talk Show Sketches


Listen Later

Throughout the 50-year history of Saturday Night Live, there have been a few things you could always count on: "Live From New York, It's Saturday Night!", Weekend Update, Paul Simon showing up whenever he pleases... and of course, the legendary talk show sketch!

From celebrity chat shows gone wrong to morning programs spiraling into chaos, SNL has perfected the art of skewering television's most beloved format. Whether it's the cringe-worthy interviews, over-the-top hosts, or unexpected guest meltdowns, these sketches have given us some of the most quotable moments in comedy history.

This week on Tournament Talk, Bill Swerski assembles a panel of SNL experts to duke it out in the ultimate showdown of Best SNL Talk Show Sketches. Will your favorite gabfest parody make the cut? What all time classic have been forgotten? 

Find out which sketch will be crowned our champion and discover some hidden gems that deserve a spot in the SNL Hall of Fame (we miss you guys)!
