Description

We all know about "The Five-Timers Club," which consists of celebrities who have hosted "Saturday Night Live" five times or more, but there is also a more exclusive club that consists of some hosts who are so good, that they actually have recurring characters that show up every time they host. They are characters that the fans love. They have their own catchphrases. They are sometimes just as popular as the cast members' creations. In this episode, Nick looks at some of the most memorable recurring characters created by hosts such as: Dwayne Johnson, Scarlett Johansson, Steve Martin, Tom Hanks, Justin Timberlake, and more. You love "Mr. Short-Term Memory," "The Continental," "Tony Bennett," Theodoric of York," Lexi," and even the controversial "Uncle Roy." In this episode, you will learn the stories of their creations, how many times they appeared on the show, how they were received, and, you'll hear the sketches they appeared in. Some classic and popular characters played by the hosts, not the cast members, are the focus of this "THAT SHOW...". [EP33]

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.
