This week on the SNL Hall of Fame Water Cooler, Joe and Shari take the reins while jD is off on assignment—leaving the cafeteria table wide open for a hilarious, deep-dive discussion on The SNL Hall of Fame’s latest nominee: three-time host Zach Galifianakis.
Expect beard talk, bulk comparisons, and some genuinely sharp insights as they reflect on Zach’s unique contributions to Saturday Night Live, why his episodes feel more like Zach than SNL, and whether that’s a good thing (spoiler: it kinda is).
💥 What’s Inside:
- A recap of last week’s SNL Hall of Fame episode with Bill Kenney and Mike Murray
- Why Zach’s sensibility stands apart—and who he compares to (Jack Black? Jim Carrey? Steve Martin?)
- SNL lore moments like Daryl’s House and cringe-comedy monologues
- Shari’s push for Zach’s inclusion in the Hall (Joe? Still on the fence…)
- A side quest into the Jack Black episode with Elton John & Brandi Carlile
- Hall of Shame moments (sorry, One-Uppers), and Hall of Fame gems including Ego Nwodim’s Weekend Update mic drop and the instantly iconic Goth Kid on Vacation pre-tape
🔥 Bonus weirdness:
- The audience cursed on live TV?!
- Is Jack Black reliving School of Rock in slow motion?
- And: is there a bearded funny man cinematic universe we’re not talking about?
Whether you’re pro-Zach, pro-Jack, or just here for the water cooler banter, this one’s a classic. And don’t worry—jD will be back soon. (But let’s be honest: Joe and Shari held it down.)
