Sweet sassy molassy!

That's it. That's the post.

Nah, I guess I gotta write some more here. Well, it's the first episode of SNL hosted by Ray Romano. You might remember him. Had a pretty popular sitcom for a number of years. Got a real memorabl... more

It's time to Art Funk with the Garf! This week, we've got a pleasantly mellow little outing from the original cast, one with a heavier bent on music than usual. And since the music is being provided by Art Garfunkel and Stephen Bishop, it's also mayb... more

Here we are at an important crossroads for the show: the final live episode for Eddie Murphy as a cast member. Yes, the show would still have two pre-taped sketches left to air in later episodes but this is basically it for Eddie. And who does the sh... more

  • Weak minded

    Weak minded libs who won’t discuss with fans. Block you as soon as you try to start a conversation about something you don’t agree with. Don’t waste your time. Losers.

  • No one important

    Clearly these two don’t care about the show. I watch Andrew on the Saturday night network and he absolutely hates it and never wants to admit it.

  • Better than some but with similar annoying host habits

    This podcast is definitely better than SNL by the Numbers which features two hosts who can’t speak properly and subject the listener to an annoying tsunami of “like” vocal tics. These hosts have that same very American tic but at least they don’t sound illiterate. They also do the same lazy thing that other SNL podcasts do: repeat the jokes you just heard from a clip they played. This is a passable podcast but it would be better if they knocked off repeating what we just heard and do some more c... more

  • Lazy, Snarky, Tone Deaf

    Claims to be a fan show but they mostly diss on any sketch-host-era they don't get. Two adult stoner-wannabes doing lazy reviews without the minimal research and cultural perspective to understand what they're watching. It's like Jeff Spicoli and Chad doing literary reviews. Guys, if your hate the show so much, don't watch.

  • Unfunny guys talking about comedy

    Production value and format are on target but these hosts are unlistenable. These guys are just not funny but somehow their opinions on comedy are supposed to matter? The Andy guy won’t stop with his phony drunk slurry “comedic” way of talking. It’s just the worst. Wish better hosts were doing this format.
