When The Fallout Lounge premiered, the comedy cognoscenti didn't give us a chance. "More like Fallout Lounge DEAD!" sniffed SNL's Lorne Michaels. But defying the odds, we were renewed for a second season, which we cheekily dubbed "Season 2." Listenership grew, and we dropped some of our funniest sketches yet. Mr. Michaels remained unconvinced, locking himself in his office for a day and emerging with, "More like 'The Fallout Scrounge'--for jokes!" Clearly, our little sketch comedy program had struck a nerve. "Who cares? We still have Pete Davidson and Kate McKinnon," the legendary producer sulked, "They'll never leave."
