That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)

This week, we're keeping it mellow as we discuss our thoughts on S46 so far and take some questions from you, the audience!

Ah, yes. Good ol' MADtv. Much like last year, we're digging into a Christmas episode from SNL's most ardent rivals and this time around, it's S2 with host Harry Connick Jr.! We talk about some of the small changes and speed bumps the show had seen since it's first season and then bask in the dark glory that is the episode itself.

This week, with the help of Jon Schneider of SNL Stats, we're celebrating the 45th anniversary of one of the most weirdest, wildest and possibly completely misunderstood episodes in the show's long history!

This week, Washington natives Mario Lanza and William Ham join us to talk about America's best regional sketch show: Almost Live. We discuss the history of the show, it's long, 15 season run and the Viewer's Choice best-of special from 1992!

We return to the cinematic realm of the 'Royd for Dan's misbegotten 1991 horror-comedy, Nothing But Trouble. It's a film that mostly defies explanation and yet, here we are. What a beautiful and fascinating mess to uncover.

We're taking a little break from SNL to discuss some formative late night programming! We dig up a couple of Late World episodes, one of our favorite episode's of Space Ghost: Coast To Coast and a very important Sifl and Olly!

We're taking it easier than previous seasons with our yearly wrap up special (hint: we're tired) but that doesn't mean we aren't gonna take a few questions from the audience about S46 and lay out our podcast plans for the summer months.

It's the end of season 4 and we're celebrating it with the Mayor of New York, Ed Koch! As far as season finales go, it's the usual grab bag of returning characters and assorted gassed-out weirdness but it does allow us to add a new wrinkle to our rating system!

Welp...I guess it's time to finally dig into what is quietly one the worst seasons of the show: season 30. No one made much of a fuss back in the day but the product speaks for itself. It ain't good. Here we rip into Paula Abdul during a low point in her life WHILE she's in the building, run through a litany of awful lolgay and trans jokes, almost get saved by the efforts of Forte and more!

This week, we're joining forces with Justin Hart of the Telehell podcast to cover one of the rarer pieces of the SNL ephemera: the ABC made-for-TV movie, Gilda Rander - It's Always Something! Be sure to find Telehell everywhere podcasts can be found and follow them on either Twitter or Facebook!
