This week on the SNL Hall of Fame Podcast, we’re taking a hilariously uncomfortable trip into the world of Zach Galifianakis, three-time Saturday Night Live host and king of cringe comedy. 🌀

From his iconic monologues to unforgettable sketches like Daryl’s House and M&M Store, we dig into what makes Galifianakis’ SNL appearances so uniquely weird and wildly entertaining. Does he belong in the Hall of Fame? Listen and decide!
