Description

Join Nick as he spotlights six incredibly talented and uproarious performers who, surprisingly, have never taken the reins as hosts on "Saturday Night Live." These comedic geniuses have graced the SNL stage with guest appearances in sketches, monologues, and unexpected cameos, yet the spotlight of hosting has eluded them. Nick delves into why these stars are overdue for hosting duties, revisiting their rich history of comedic triumphs in film and television. You'll get a front-row seat to their memorable SNL moments, featuring clips from episodes spanning 1993 to the unique "At Home" Coronavirus special in 2020. Alongside these stars, you'll enjoy side-splitting contributions from the likes of Andy Samberg, Jeff Goldblum, Jonah Hill, David Spade, Josh Brolin, and others. Discover why these guests, who've never hosted, truly deserve their moment to shine on the SNL stage. [EP53]

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.
