Description

Nick has a hilarious and very lively conversation with SNL Season 39 cast member Brooks Wheelan. Stories include: how he got the gig by sending in an audition tape that included an imitation of Hitler playing with Troll dolls, working with Edward Norton on a sketch involving racoons with switchblades (and how Norton became a huge fan), writing a sketch in which he is raped by King Kong and Jimmy Fallon plays his brother/lover (it never made it to air), and standing next to R. Kelly on stage during 'Goodbyes' as Kenan Thompson tells him: "Stay away from him...he's a bad man." Plus they talk about his stand-up career and his appearance on MTV's "Ridiculousness." And much more! [EP4]

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.
