That Show Hasn't Been Funny In Years: an SNL podcast on Radio Misfits
Award-winning radio personality, podcaster, and SNL fanatic/historian NICK DIGILIO hosts this weekly deep dive into the world of the granddaddy of all sketch-comedy shows. Nick, a Second City grad and veteran of Chicago comedy and theater, has watched every single episode of SNL since George Carlin hosted the premiere on October 11th, 1975. Consisting of new and old episode analysis; SNL-relates guests; historical impact; and even entire episodes dedicated completely to just one sketch…this is every SNL fan’s dream podcast, and proof that that tired, cliched statement: “That show hasn’t been funny in years,” is simply NOT true.

Some of these famous folks were on for several seasons, other...
On episode #2 of this SNL podcast, Nick is joined by comedian, writer, and actor Jon Rudnitsky, who was a cast member for one season of “Saturday Night Live,” and it was a very memorable season indeed. Jon talks about how he was discovered at a comedy festival, what he did for his SNL audition, and what it was like to work those grueling, no-sleep-having hours at 30 Rock (without the cocaine they had in the 70s). They talk about hi...
The debut episode of this new podcast about “Saturday Night Live” is all about the classic/insane/weird/hilarious “Potato Chip,” written by Will Forte and John Solomon that aired in December of 2009. In this sketch, Jason Sudeikis plays a southern gentleman who wants to be an astronaut, but makes a fatal error during his interview with NASA official Will Forte: he eats one of Forte’s potato chips…and all hell breaks loose. Nick tal...
