The Not Ready for Prime Time Project: An SNL Retrospective

The Early Years of SNL: S04E12 Rick Nelson/Judy Collins (2/17/79)


Listen Later

They say comedy is subjective, and this S4 episode of SNL proves the point. While many Saturday Night Live fans praise this outing hosted by former child star Rick(y) Nelson, we have a slightly different take. Sadly, musical guest Judy Collins does not do much to help the cause.

Though we do acknowledge some bright spots, we couldn't fully embrace this episode. Listen as we break down what worked (some true highlights) and what didn't (not even Paul Simon has the balls to do THREE songs in his monologues). Were we too harsh in our critique? 

Listen and decide for yourself whether our assessment hits the mark or misses completely.
