Welcome back to SNL Stories, an interview podcast that takes place on SNL off-weeks! Our next guest is former SNL Cast Member Dean Edwards.  Dean was hired as a cast member in 2001 (S27) at the same time as Amy Poehler, Seth Meyers, and Jeff Richards, and has some great stories of his time at the show from 2001-2003 - including how he almost got on MADtv instead, what his first episode was like right after 9/11, and a great story about a sketch he wrote that he always wished got on the show. Hope you enjoy this special conversation hosted by Jon Schneider (@jonschneider24), Andrew Haskell (@andrewehaskell), TJ Randolph (@kingcompliment), and some of our patrons!
