In our most jam packed episode to date, we review and discuss THREE (that's right, THREE, count 'em, THREE) different pieces of Bill content. The new Cat In The Hat trailer, a Documentary Now short made just for David Letterman's Mark Twain Prize Ceremony and the season two premiere of the regular Documentary Now series, The Bunker.

Based on the 1993 Documentary, The War Room, which followed James Carville & George Stephanopoulos running Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign. The Bunker focuses on Alvin Panagoulias (Fred Armisen) and Teddy Redbones (Bill Hader) running the 1992 Ohio Governor's race. Is it still relevant at all to today? You'll just have to listen to find out!

In an unprecedented move for any SNL related podcast episode that's not currently behind a paywall, we cover TWO SNL episodes for the price of one! That's right, we've decided to combine our coverage of both the Elliot Page & Amy Adams episodes of SNL from season 33 into one podcast and just discuss Bill's Best moments and other assorted best bits from each one.

THIS JUST IN: We review another SNL S33 episode confidently hosted by a charming and likable former NBC Nightly News anchor that was kind of impressive to viewers in November of 2007. Jokes about Sen. Chris Dodd and the CW teen drama Riley's Way may seem dated and confusing to modern viewers in 2026.
