  • Summary

  • 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.

    That Show – SURPRISE!!! SNL Cameos Pt. 2
    Sep 4 2024
    We all know that "Saturday Night Live" has had some pretty incredible and funny surprise celebrity cameos over the years. Since the very beginning, SNL has had a wonderful habit of bringing out celebrities to have some fun and shock audiences at home and in the studio by simply popping on stage. In this episode, Nick looks back at some of the best surprise cameos that delighted audiences everywhere. Included are the out-of-the-blue appearances by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Daniel Craig, Colin Farrell, John Mulaney, and a truly inspired cameo by Amy Poehler playing her legendary character from "Parks and Recreation." You'll hear the sketches and cameos, along with the stories behind the appearances themselves. This is Part 2 of a multi-part series called "SURPRISE!!! SNL Cameos." [Ep87]

  • That Show – Hey Everybody! Will Ferrell as Harry Caray

    That Show – Hey Everybody! Will Ferrell as Harry Caray
    Aug 28 2024
    Nick takes a hilarious look back at Will Ferrell's famous Harry Caray impression. While the impersonation itself might not be the most accurate or perfect recreation of the legendary sportscaster, it's undeniably funny, bizarre, and one of the most memorable characters Ferrell brought to life during his tenure on "Saturday Night Live." You'll hear the very first time Ferrell did the impression (during his SNL audition!), along with a montage of unbelievably funny moments from his appearances on Weekend Update and the brilliantly weird sketch "Space - The Infinite Frontier" with Jeff Goldblum. Nick also provides a brief history of Caray's Chicago broadcasting career, shares a personal story that includes his own Harry Caray impression, and gives a rundown of the guys who actually do the best, most accurate Harry Caray impressions of all time. Plus, there's an interview with Ferrell about a time he might have pushed the bit a little too far. So... Hey Everybody! It's Harry Caray time! [Ep86]

  • That Show – Goodbye Punkie

    That Show – Goodbye Punkie
    Aug 21 2024
    Cast member Punkie Johnson has announced her departure from "Saturday Night Live" after four seasons. In this episode, Nick reflects on her time on the show, highlighting some of her most memorable moments and discussing her comedy career—past, present, and future. The episode features hilarious segments, mostly from Weekend Update, where Punkie did some of her best work. Nick plays back some of her funniest moments, including her impression of a convict who jumped over a barrier to attack a judge during a trial, her real-life story about dealing with family as a lesbian during Christmas, and an uproarious bit where Mikey Day reveals her tendency to not know any celebrities' correct names. Nick also discusses her wonderful role in last year's brilliant movie "Bottoms" and shares a great Seth Meyers interview about her career and time on SNL. As we say goodbye to Punkie Johnson, Nick celebrates her talent and wishes her the best in her continuing comedy career. [Ep85]
