Teri Garr returns for her final SNL Hosting gig but can do little to overcome some dull material, including some of Don Novello's worst SNL writing. But there's at least one diamond in the rough. Scott and Kyle travel back in time to slog through the mess.

Back from the dead with a Highwayman episode (more my about status in the intro). Any attempt to coherently explain the plot of this episode will fail. Somebody's being tried for a crime without any proof the crime happened, but not his frequently mentioned but unnamed and seen accomplices. Some gold miners needed to pretend that their gold mine had failed, even though it actually had failed. The afterlife is the fourth dimension. The Highway is not haunted. Jetto doesn't know what an Uzi looks like. Characters eventually get names. Anyway, Highway is here to fix the problem as long as he gets dessert first. Kyle and Scott take a look.

We're not dead, and neither is the crowd when they get the first appearance of one of the great SNL hosts, Tom Hanks. Even at this point in his career, he's a star. Kyle and Scott enjoy the Show

It's time to get some backstory on Highway, as we meet his old mentor Cody. Highway will do anything for Cody, including committing serious crimes in foreign countries and failing to ask even the most basic of questions. Scott and Kyle talk about it until death duel they part.

SNL Brings in John Lithgow for the first of three hosting gigs. Unfortunately, his talent can only do so much to elevate this week's uninspired material. Kyle and Scott get Footloose with the review.

The Highwayman finds another level of crazy as he's called in by the military to carry an important package during a communications blackout. Not all is as it seems, especially Tanya who we completely fail to recognize. Scott and Kyle take a look at the episode through Niscress colored glasses.

Season 11 Episode 3 is a return to form with Pee-Wee Herman as host. At least at first. The episode heads downhill pretty quick near the end. Scott and Kyle look at it all.

The Reject Video podcast looks at SNL Season 11 Episode 2 Chevy Chase has returned to host, and he's at the height of his popularity…unfortunately for the cast, crew, and viewers of SNL. Chevy will find every way possible to show how little he cares.

The Highwayman regular series begins with a murder, and a corporation trying to turn the desert into a new Silicon Valley. But what's really going on at the hospital? Does any of this make sense? Scott and Kyle take a look.
