Nick takes a look back at Saturday Night Live Season 37, a strong and steady run marked by some unforgettable first-time hosts who went on to iconic status, including Melissa McCarthy, Maya Rudolph, and Mick Jagger. It was also a season of change, as Kristen Wiig and Andy Samberg said their goodbyes, and John Mulaney stepped into his first year as head writer and producer.
The episode revisits standout sketches like Alec Baldwin’s spot-on Tony Bennett, a bridal shower derailed by a delightfully creepy Emma Stone, and Zooey Deschanel turning quirky into an art form on a talk show parody. Nick also highlights the final outing of the beloved soap opera spoof The Californians, packed with the full cast and a cameo from Steve Martin.
Along the way, you’ll hear great moments from hosts like Ben Stiller and Channing Tatum, plus some behind-the-scenes stories that make Season 37 a fan favorite worth remembering. [Ep 145]
