That Show – That One Time That Jodie Foster Hosted SNL 52:08

4 дня назад52:08

52:08

Nick looks back at the one and only time Jodie Foster hosted Saturday Night Live on November 27, 1976. At just 14 years old, Foster became the youngest host in the show’s history—until Drew Barrymore took the title in 1982 at the age of 7. Despite her talent, Foster was a nervous wreck, thrown into live television for the first time with material written by people who had no idea how to craft sketches for a teenage host. The result was a bizarre, sometimes uncomfortable episode filled with sketches ranging from mildly insulting to downright creepy. Nick revisits key moments from the show, breaking down the awkwardness, the behind-the-scenes struggles, and the transitional state of SNL at the time—Chevy Chase had just left, Bill Murray hadn’t yet arrived, and the cast and writers seemed lost. A fascinating deep dive into one of SNL’s strangest episodes. [Ep 112]…

Season 11 of Saturday Night Live is often regarded as the weirdest—and possibly the worst—season in the show’s history, and episode 13 serves as a prime example of why.

The result was a surreal, chaotic, and unforgettable broadcast that must be seen to be believed. Nick delves into the wild sketches, the bizarre creative choices, and the behind-the-scenes stories that led to one of the boldest—and strangest—episodes in television history.

Whether they were too specific, too weird, or intentionally not funny, these bits flew under the radar despite being pretty great.

That Show – Jay Leno and SNL 45:18

45:18

Nick looks back at the one and only time Jay Leno hosted Saturday Night Live on February 22, 1986. At the time, Leno was still a rising stand-up comedian, years away from his Tonight Show fame, with a hot reputation and a career on the rise. Despite his popularity, Leno was underused on the episode, largely because he lacked skill in sketch comedy and acting. Instead, he spent most of the show either playing a stand-up comedian or taking on quiet background roles. In this episode, you’ll hear his monologue from that show, along with a few sketches from the notorious and troubled 11th season. Nick also shares behind-the-scenes details about Leno’s strained relationship with Lorne Michaels and SNL, a dynamic that affected both Leno’s appearances and his eventual relationship with The Tonight Show . You’ll also hear about Leno’s one other appearance on SNL in 1992, when he did a Weekend Update commentary on the L.A. Riots. Jay Leno and SNL were never quite a great fit, and after listening, you’ll understand why. [Ep99]…
