Nick is joined by music and entertainment journalist Jim Ryan from Forbes.com for a lively trip through Saturday Night Live history. A lifelong fan of the show, Jim counts down his five favorite sketches of all time—starting with Tom Hanks’ iconic entry into the Five-Timers Club and ending with a brilliantly unhinged Will Ferrell as Neil Diamond in a VH1 Storytellers parody. Along the way, there’s love for Belushi’s “Little Chocolate Donuts” ad and, of course, the eternal need for “More Cowbell.”
The conversation doubles as a personal rewind, with Jim sharing how he first discovered SNL through late-night VHS binges and eventually found himself interviewing the very legends he grew up watching. From memorable chats with Dan Aykroyd and Robert Smigel to navigating the prickly vibes of Chevy Chase, Jim’s stories add an insider’s layer to the nostalgia.
It’s a celebration of the moments that made SNL unforgettable—and a reminder that some sketches never get old, no matter how many times you hit rewind. [EP 130]
