Tell Me Where I'm Going (Wrong)

Ep 85 - Is SNL The Unfunniest Show on the Planet?


Listen Later

In this latest episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean discuss the aftermath of the BBC and the BAFTAs bungling of the John Davidson situation and how the entertainment industry has reacted to people living with Tourette Syndrome. They drill down on the Saturday Night Live skit which ridiculed the situation and ask why such an unfunny show keeps getting made year after year.

The pair chat about the ongoing conflict in Iran and across the Middle East, sharing their own fears and concerns for global unrest.

This episode also reflects on the news of beer company BrewDog being sold for a rock bottom price and how the brand caused problems throughout its history with problematic and offensive marketing.

Enjoy the ride!
