Caalaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:11.560
Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack, and I find myself on

3
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:14.919
this Monday morning thinking a lot about SNL fifty and

4
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:18.120
how much I liked it. This is a bonus episode.

5
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:21.160
This is just me, you and clips. I know I

6
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:23.920
said I would do a full recap on Tuesday. That

7
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.000
is still the plan. As the day goes on today,

8
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:29.320
I'll do my normal show prep and see what everyone

9
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:31.600
else is saying and what happened backstage and on the

10
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:33.759
red carpet. And I've already got some clips pulled for that,

11
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:35.560
and there's some other news I already see this morning.

12
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:38.320
But this is just my reaction to last night's show,

13
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:40.600
which I liked a lot. A bunch of us were

14
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:43.159
hanging out in the Facebook group Daily COmON News podcast group.

15
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:47.119
Early on the show was struggling a little bit. There

16
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.079
were a couple sketches that fell flat. But once it

17
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.799
got into the second half, really starting with maybe the News,

18
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.479
maybe Adam Sandler, it really hit a groove and I

19
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.520
feel really good about it. We open up with an

20
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.039
interesting choice that personally I didn't think the energy was there.

21
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:04.840
I get it for the legacy of this show. Paul

22
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.760
Simon and Sabrina Carpenter opened up singing. Paul Simon mentioned

23
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:10.359
he was about to play a song it performed on

24
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:13.120
the show with George Harrison in nineteen seventy six. Sabrina

25
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:15.480
got a laugh, saying I wasn't born then, and neither

26
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:18.359
were my parents. The song is fine. I don't know

27
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:20.879
what I was looking for for the open, maybe something

28
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:23.359
a little more up tempo. Anyway, we get into the

29
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.599
monologue and Steve Martin comes out and reminds us you

30
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.200
know I was I wrote in the group you forget

31
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.560
that Steve Martin was one of the great stand up comedians.

32
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:35.040
Here is a piece of Steve Martin's monologue.

33
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:39.799
Good evening and welcome to the fiftieth anniversary up Saturday

34
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:45.959
Night Live. I'm Steve Martin, Saturday Night Lives, Newest, Diversity Higher,

35
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.640
and what a thrill it is to be here. When

36
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.519
I heard that SNL wanted to do an anniversary special,

37
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:57.159
I literally wanted to leap into the air. And the

38
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.239
only reason I didn't is because at the time I

39
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:03.840
was wearing a short skirt with no underwear. Now I

40
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:10.120
can't believe, I can't believe I even made it here

41
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:11.960
In time. It was only a few days ago. The

42
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.759
lorne told me I was doing the monologue, and I

43
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:18.159
was actually vacationing on a friend's boat down in the

44
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.120
Gulf of Steve Martin, and I finally.

45
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:27.960
Steve then brings out Mullaney, and boy, Mullaney had a

46
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.560
killer night, which is just incredible when you think of

47
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:32.759
the amount of talent in the room. And mulaney was

48
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.400
a writer for SNL but not a performer on SNL.

49
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:38.840
But John crushed twice during the night. Here's one of

50
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.960
those times he crushed. John Mullaney.

51
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:43.479
I didn't know you were even gonna be here.

52
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.599
Oh you would if you'd ever come to rehearsal. By

53
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:49.879
the way, congratulations on the Emmy win. Nope, Emmy nomination, Nope,

54
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.719
Grammy win, no Grammy nomination, no Golden Globe win, no

55
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:53.840
Golden Globe nomination.

56
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:55.680
There you go, yes, sir, thank you.

57
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:58.680
You know, we writers really appreciated that tribute. But I

58
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:02.199
believe that the heart and soul of this show is

59
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.639
the celebrity hosts, many of whom are in this room tonight.

60
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.719
You know, as I look around, I see some of

61
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:13.400
the most difficult people I have ever met in my

62
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:17.759
entire life. Over the course of fifty years, eight hundred

63
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:20.759
and ninety four people have hosted Saturday Night Live, and

64
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:24.159
it amazes me that only two of them have committed murder.

65
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.280
We get into the sketches and they do Black Jeopardy,

66
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:33.960
which reminds us just how strong Keenan Thompson just quietly

67
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.560
goes about his business and is an MVP. But Eddie

68
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:41.599
Murphy came out. So on Black Jeopardy we had Leslie Jones,

69
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:45.599
Tracy Morgan, and then Eddie Murphy in a character in

70
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.319
let's listen to what character Eddie Murphy did.

71
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:58.840
He look at this Tracy Morgan gonna make some big money. Wow,

72
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:02.759
Now wait a minute, Tracy, don't you already have a

73
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:04.560
lot of money. But you gotta have a lot of

74
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:06.080
money if you're gonna live like I live.

75
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:12.719
I eat four cheese, Lasagnia. I only got three cheeses.

76
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:13.439
I ain't eating it.

77
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:17.199
Yes, okay, we hear you.

78
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:24.160
Tracy Moore, I refuse to ingest three Jesus, you're four Jesus.

79
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:25.519
We got, Tracy Morgan. Thank you.

80
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:28.720
Absolute crush for Eddie. I'll come back to Eddie in

81
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:30.759
a bit. Then the show hit a bit of a

82
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.199
lull with some sketches missing, a pretty early one. I'm

83
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:35.959
trying to remember the particklers of it. It was at

84
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:39.240
a wedding and it just didn't fly. Eventually, Amy Poehler

85
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:42.439
and Tina Fay came out really fun segment and they

86
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:44.639
got one of the biggest laughs of the night. Here,

87
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:45.519
I have a question.

88
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:52.920
Oh hey, right, how's it going?

89
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:53.560
Great?

90
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:54.759
Bhye, what do you heard?

91
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.439
Excellent timing by Ryan Reynold. It's really great. And for

92
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:05.160
anyone who heard the earlier episode this morning and misconstrues

93
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:08.560
that I don't like Julia Louis Dreyfus, I love Julia

94
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.040
Louis Dreyfus. What I was talking about this morning, it's

95
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:13.040
at the end of the show. Variety did a list

96
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.319
best TV performances of the twenty first century and they

97
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.399
have Julia and Viepez number one. And I said, that's

98
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:19.959
crazy talk, and I stand by it. But she's the

99
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.600
MVP of Seinfeld. She's fantastic. And here she is in

100
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:26.720
the audience and she has a dog sitting next to her.

101
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.680
You really need that dog, right, Celia, Oh no, no, no,

102
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:31.639
I'm here for him.

103
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:39.160
He's blind. So Ricky the Blonde woman who just talked.

104
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:43.920
That's Amy Poehler and the older woman next to hers

105
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:49.160
team up very very funny, one of my favorite parts

106
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:50.879
of the night. We were also keeping track at that

107
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:54.560
point in the show. They hadn't gone really too far

108
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:58.160
back in the cast, and at that point Julia was

109
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:01.279
The Weekend Update was solid. Seth Meyers took a turn

110
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:03.680
at the desk along with jo Justin Jay Seth seemed

111
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.920
very very comfortable at the desk, and then Bill Murray

112
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:09.959
showed up and he ranked the all time Weekend Update

113
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.199
anchors jump in here at number two. Number two is

114
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:15.319
Norm McDonald.

115
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:22.279
He may have been the best.

116
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:26.759
Ever, but more importantly, he made me, for one, ask

117
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:41.720
the question of myself, could oj possibly have done it?

118
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.319
So that brings us to number one? Colin got a

119
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:55.759
good feeling about this, Okay, Number one is funny, got

120
00:06:55.759 --> 00:07:00.680
a great smile, and he's currently sleeping every kind of

121
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:03.720
way with the lovely actress Scarlett Johanson. Of course I'm

122
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.040
talking about my brother Bryan.

123
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.199
At that point. It made me comment in the Facebook

124
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:15.120
group that everybody was playing to the back of their

125
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.879
baseball card. What I meant was Bill Murray was playing

126
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:19.879
to the level you would expect of Hall of Famer

127
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:23.920
Bill Murray and Marcelo Hernandez. That's a pick on him specifically,

128
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:27.639
But Marcelo does one thing over and over and over

129
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:30.160
and over. I'd like to see what else he can do.

130
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:31.959
But he does that one thing, and he played to

131
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:33.839
the back of his baseball card when he was on

132
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:36.639
the show. He did his one thing twice. But if

133
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:39.079
you look at everybody else, Eddie Murphy played to Eddie

134
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:43.319
Murphy's baseball card, Polar and Fay to theirs, Will did

135
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:46.160
Will Ferrell things. Everybody else was just right in the zone.

136
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:49.600
Around then, I started to think, Hey, no Sandler yet,

137
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:51.639
he's kind of a superstar. Whether or not I find

138
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:53.920
him funny or not, he's a superstar in this environment.

139
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:56.480
Where is he? And I thought, Oh, he'll do some

140
00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:59.720
sort of name check song in that Sandler style looking

141
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:02.160
at the fifty years, And sure enough he did it.

142
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.800
Let me tell you, I'm a known not to like

143
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:08.639
Adam Sandler comedy and I don't really enjoy his songs.

144
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:11.399
He nailed this here. I'll pick it up in the

145
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:13.800
back half. The names you don't recognize are some of

146
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.680
the crew members. I gotta tell you he touched that

147
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.519
emotional beats. You know, I might add something in my eye,

148
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:23.000
Adam Sailor, you nailed this one.

149
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:26.680

157
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:07.120
plus among and disc going buny Man, thirty years of

158
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:08.000
down Here.

159
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:16.759
Forty five years of Lord, six years of our boy Farley,

160
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:23.960
five of our Body No, fifty years of one of

161
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:28.480
us getting to say live from New York, it's Saturday night.

162
00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:33.480
Fifty years of standing on home base waiting the night,

163
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:34.000
and the.

164
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:44.399
Fifty years of the best times of our life.

165
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:54.519
Great job, Adam Sandler. Something you won't hear me say,

166
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:56.200
two offered. All right, we'll take the break here, we'll

167
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:59.720
come back. So at this point the show is rocking

168
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.639
when Tom Hanks came out and gave this speech.

169
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:06.840
As we celebrate the achievements of the past fifty years,

170
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:10.279
we must also take a moment to honor those who

171
00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:16.120
we've lost, countless members of the SNL family taking from

172
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:21.120
us too soon. I'm speaking, of course, about SNL characters

173
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:27.840
and sketches that have aged horribly. But even though these characters,

174
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:36.799
accents and let's just call them ethnic whigs were unquestionably

175
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:43.960
in poor taste, you all laughed at them. So if

176
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:49.320
anyone should be canceled, shouldn't it be you the audience.

177
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.000
Fantastic montage there looking back at all the things that yeah,

178
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:56.519
didn't age so well. I think I have the sequence

179
00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:59.039
here right. I think it was. After that, there was

180
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:02.159
a John Maliney musical sketch. Mullenie's done a few of

181
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:04.720
those over the past few years. This one was really strong,

182
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.679
the theme of it New York City throughout the decades.

183
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.840
A Giuliani appearance, a really hilarious line by Mulani I

184
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:14.440
didn't pull it that I think was ad libbed. Sarah

185
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:18.600
Sherman went into a Bloomberg impression and it wasn't good,

186
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:20.720
and m'laney said something along the lines of yeah, hey,

187
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.000
great impression and got a good left there again for

188
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:27.080
somebody who's not part of the cast. Mullaney had one

189
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:29.720
of the greatest nights. Very late in the show. The

190
00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:33.879
last proper sketch, if I'm remembering correctly, was a scared

191
00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:39.679
straight sketch Eddie Murphy, once again proving he is the

192
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.559
franchise MVP. You know, that's a discussion for the other day.

193
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:46.559
But I think Eddie is number one. Will might be

194
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:48.759
number two, and I don't want to discount Phil Hartman.

195
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:51.799
Phil might be three. You could probably convince me that

196
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.919
he's two over Will. But anyway, you have here in

197
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:57.600
this sketch Eddie Murphy and Will Ferrell. This is a

198
00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:00.799
little naughty, so if you're listening with kids, they probably

199
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:03.679
won't get the joke anyway, but consider yourself warned. I

200
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:05.639
am surprised they went this dirty on over the air

201
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.440
national television, but I think this aired even after eleven PM,

202
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:11.360
so even if we want to get into the FCC

203
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:14.519
of it all, we're in safe harbor that late. Anyway,

204
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:15.960
here's Eddie Murphy.

205
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:17.399
That's right, that's right.

206
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:18.759
And forget about your north pole.

207
00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:20.799
What you're gonna need to be worried about is your

208
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.480
south Pole, because.

209
00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:26.360
You'll be yelling sort of a knockcracker.

210
00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:29.440
All right, it won't be no Santna coming to town,

211
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:33.759
and it'd be Santo's coming in your brown No.

212
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:38.559
Garrett Morris came out and introduced the nineteen seventy eight

213
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:43.879
short film Don't Look Back in Anger Boy. This really

214
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:46.679
hit the spot. I've seen this before, but last night

215
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:49.720
it hit the spot. What Don't Look Back in Anger is?

216
00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:52.960
It's from nineteen seventy eight and it's John Belushi, an

217
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:56.360
old age makeup visiting the grave sites of everybody else

218
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:59.960
from the initial cast. They are all dead. Belushi talks

219
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.519
about how he was always perceived as the one who

220
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:06.279
would live fast and die young, and he has outlived

221
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:09.600
all the other cast members. It was poignant and what

222
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:12.320
a great way to address the original cast. I did

223
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:16.360
feel the original cast was underrepresented. It was kind of

224
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:18.720
a and it makes sense just because of how old

225
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:20.960
everybody is, but it was sort of like the Will Ferrell,

226
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:25.320
Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Victory Lap show, like that generation

227
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:29.000
more than the older folks. But the film really hit

228
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:31.519
the spot. And that was late and then as we

229
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:34.279
discussed in the group, there was nowhere to go from there.

230
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:35.879
It was only gonna be down from there. So let's

231
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:38.200
bring out Paul McCartney and go home. And Paul McCartney

232
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:41.519
came out and did Golden Slumbers and he's Paul McCartney

233
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:44.639
and even in his eighties, crushed it. What a great

234
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:47.240
way to go another commercial. We come back, we do

235
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:49.960
the goodbyes. I'm sure someone else has analyzed the goodbyes.

236
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.279
I was looking at it. I noticed McCartney was looking

237
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:54.399
for someone to talk to. I noticed Chris Rock was

238
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:56.759
looking for someone to talk to. But it was eleven

239
00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:59.279
thirty at night and I wanted to go to bed.

240
00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:02.559
So nice job SNL fifty. You know, there were a

241
00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:04.200
couple of things that didn't work. There was one thing

242
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:07.240
with Lorain Newman and Pete Davidson that I honestly can't

243
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:09.519
believe made it to air other than they probably wanted

244
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:11.720
to honor Lorain Newman. But Pete was awful in it.

245
00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:14.879
You know, a couple of flat sketches early on, but

246
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:17.320
once you got into the second half, it was really strong.

247
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:19.679
And like I said, I'm feeling really good about it

248
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:21.799
and thinking about it a lot today and I wanted

249
00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:23.799
to get this out pretty early in the day before

250
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.840
the news gets moldy. Back in the morning with a

251
00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:30.120
