Description

Nick welcomes author Mike Thomas, who discusses his fantastic 2014 book "You Might Remember Me: The Life & Times of Phil Hartman." Together, they explore Phil Hartman's life and career, from his days as an album cover designer and graphic artist to his time with The Groundlings comedy group, which led to his remarkable 8-season run on "Saturday Night Live." Nick and Mike also talk about Phil's legacy, share some of his most memorable sketches and moments (like his spot-on impressions of Bill Clinton and Frank Sinatra), and reveal why he earned the nickname "The Glue" of SNL. As one of the most celebrated cast members in the show's history, Phil Hartman's work continues to be cherished and remembered in this engaging conversation. [EP15]

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.
