That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)

Latest Episodes:

Off Week 30: Welcome To The Fun Zone (June 2, 1984) Oct 22, 2021

Show notes

What could be better than a weirdo variety/sketch show presented by Dr. Demento and featuring such fine folks as Weird Al Yankovic, Howie Mandel, Marc Weiner, Bozo the Clown, John Paragon and others? Turns out, a lot of things. Join us as we dig into the lost wonders of the Doctor's failed SNL summertime replacement series!

Episode 81: Steve Martin/Kinky Friedman (Oct. 23, 1976) Oct 15, 2021

Show notes

It's Steve Martin's first outing with the show and Chevy's second-to-last episode as a cast member. We're not in studio 8H, we're somewhere in Brooklyn. It's a joyfully chaotic episode so it would only make sense that our recording (with special guest William Ham) would be just as chaotic!

Episode 80: Madonna/Simple Minds (Nov. 9, 1985) Oct 01, 2021

Show notes

It's been five long years since Lorne left the show. Now the prodigal son returns to take back what was once his, with a premiere for a new era that defies expectations and sometimes, explanation. Ian Abramson joins us once again to explore the madness.

Pre-Season 47 Shenanigans Sep 24, 2021

Show notes

We're back again with our usual preseason chatter and babble but this time, we've got Ian Abramson in tow! Weddings, Norm, Andy Kaufman, questions from the audience! It's guaranteed to take up an hour of your life!

Off Week 29: Brain Smasher...A Love Story (1993) Sep 10, 2021

Show notes

We return to our podcasting roots by talking some Albert Pyun directed B-movie schlock starring Andrew Dice Clay, Teri Hatcher and featuring Charlie Rocket. We expected trash. What we actually got was much different.

Off Week 28: S46 Catch Up & Questions From The Audience Aug 27, 2021

Show notes

This week, we're keeping it mellow as we discuss our thoughts on S46 so far and take some questions from you, the audience!

Off Week 27: MADtv's Second Christmas Episode Aug 12, 2021

Show notes

Ah, yes. Good ol' MADtv. Much like last year, we're digging into a Christmas episode from SNL's most ardent rivals and this time around, it's S2 with host Harry Connick Jr.! We talk about some of the small changes and speed bumps the show had seen since it's first season and then bask in the dark glory that is the episode itself.

Episode 79: Louise Lasser/Preservation Hall Jazz Band (July 24, 1976) Jul 23, 2021

Show notes

This week, with the help of Jon Schneider of SNL Stats, we're celebrating the 45th anniversary of one of the most weirdest, wildest and possibly completely misunderstood episodes in the show's long history!

Off Week 26: Almost Live (1992 Viewers Choice Special) Jul 16, 2021

Show notes

This week, Washington natives Mario Lanza and William Ham join us to talk about America's best regional sketch show: Almost Live. We discuss the history of the show, it's long, 15 season run and the Viewer's Choice best-of special from 1992!

Off Week 25: Nothing But Trouble (1991) Jul 02, 2021

Show notes

We return to the cinematic realm of the 'Royd for Dan's misbegotten 1991 horror-comedy, Nothing But Trouble. It's a film that mostly defies explanation and yet, here we are. What a beautiful and fascinating mess to uncover.
