  • Great Show for Fans of the Show’s History

    GREAT conversations about those people responsible for the show’s continued success. Each week has a different guest on to talk about a new nominee to the HoF. It is great to hear these retrospectives on some of the very best people involved with the show. Plus, listeners get to vote and decide who gets in the hall at the end of each season. Great host, too! Thomas does a great job engaging his guests and the conversations are always interesting and fun to listen to.

  • Good podcast

    A host injected some controversial political opinions into some recent shows, which is unnecessary.

  • Yes!! Musical guests are PART OF IT

    I too have changed everything after an SNL performance (Robyn, twenty one pilots, Rosalia, Billie elish). It’s make or break oftentimes.

    PLUS. The musical guest is truly the last vestige of live SNL. The videos are taken off the NBC site after about a week, and sometimes the artists release it on VEVO, even temporarily, and sometimes they don’t. I regret not screen recording Miley Cyrus Plastic Hearts, but I screen record a very select few now, bc when they’re gone, they’re gone.
