Description

Nick revisits some of the most iconic political impressions on "Saturday Night Live" performed by guest stars rather than cast members. This episode showcases five outstanding impersonations of real-life politicians. Highlights include Tina Fey's acclaimed portrayal of Sarah Palin, Melissa McCarthy's uproarious take on former Trump Press Secretary Sean Spicer, and Larry David's spot-on Bernie Sanders. Additionally, Maya Rudolph's masterful Kamala Harris impression and Matt Damon's unforgettable, comedic rendition of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh are also featured. This episode marks the beginning of a series of politically themed episodes of "THAT SHOW..." scheduled throughout 2024, leading up to the November election, focusing on the impactful role of guest stars in shaping political satire on SNL [EP55]

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.
