The sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live is about to embark on its 50th season. How has the show lasted so long? How has it reflected and shaped our culture? Who are its best cast members, what are its funniest sketches, and who or what’s been over- or underrated? Find out during Chris’s conversation with Scot Bertram and Christian Schneider, the co-hosts of “Wasn’t That Special: 50 Years of Saturday Night Live,” a podcast dedicated to the show’s history. 

Show notes:
Saturday Night Live, “More Cowbell”
Chris Farley as Matt Foley (which Chris should have told Scot is a close challenger to “more cowbell.”)
Christian Schneider, “Saturday Night Live Will Tell You the Future” (National Review)
