1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.640
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
2
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:12.439
daily comedy news. I don't know if you ever know
3
00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:16.879
about this. Did you hear? Saturday Night Live is turning fifty? Yeah,
4
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:19.480
so something a little different today. I was trying to
5
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:21.320
figure out when would be the best time to do this,
6
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:25.320
and I decided today. The choices were today, Saturday or Sunday,
7
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:28.600
but I went with today because today is the kick
8
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:32.479

into best sketches ever, best characters ever, So stick around
11

45
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:41.840
I get how TV works, but the show is called
46
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:43.879

62
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:42.680
nbcn Peacock eight to eleven PM Eastern Looking Ahead. I'm
63
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.479
going to cover this on Tuesday's podcast. I'm going to
64
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:48.159
watch it, but to put together a show at midnight
65
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:49.919
to get it out. I'll do a better job if
66
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.840
we wait the extra day. So on FAQ, who was
67
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:54.639
in the first SNL cast and why won't all of
68
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.520
them appear? One of the FAQ answers why they're not appearing?
69
00:03:57.520 --> 00:03:59.719
Why aren't Gilda Radner and John Belushi appearing? Do you
70
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:01.879
know the to do this? Yeah? They're no longer alive.
71
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:06.039
Dan Ackroid has not been announced. It is unclear why
72
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:08.840
he may be absent to Akroyd's publicists did not return
73
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:12.439
The Associated Press's request for a comment on that. Should
74
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:14.199
we do a list? I haven't looked at these, I'm
75
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.439
looking at this cold. Indie Wire put out an article
76
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:20.480
titled the fifty best Saturday Night Live Sketches of the
77
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:22.759
twenty first century. I haven't looked at this at all.
78
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:25.560
I like doing these cold. I will flip through it,
79
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:27.560
they wrote. We know what you're thinking. Why I choose
80
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:30.000
to highlight only the later seasons of SNL a's posted
81
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.560
to the full fifty years? They wrote, being perfectly honest,
82
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:34.399
most of the people involved in making this list weren't
83
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:38.879
born until nineteen ninety. Okay, fair enough, let's see what
84
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.639
these millennials think. I'm looking at you number fifty here,
85
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:43.439
and I already don't even know what this sketch is,
86
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:45.600
so I'm just gonna quick take. You can write me
87
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:47.120
a letter and be like Johnny mag How do you
88
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.839
not know what number fifty sketch? Mafia meeting is? No idea,
89
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.600
but I don't want to bog down and analyze fifty sketches.
90
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.040
I'm just going to quick take here. Number fifty is
91
00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:00.199
Mafia Meeting number forty nine. Mark Wahlberg talks to animals
92
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.839

Debbie Downer, Disney World, twelve, The Actress, eleven, Meet Your
119
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.079
Second Wife. You know that's way up there. I actually
120
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:54.360
for real watched that again last night. Somebody had tweeted it.
121
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:58.399
Ten Close Encounter. You remember Kate McKinnon in that one.
122
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:03.879
Pretty good? Nine step on Halloween's Hottest Tips. Eight Lazy Sunday.
123
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:07.560
That's an old timer. Seven Mom Jean's Okay. Six of
124
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:11.639
the Lawrence Welk Show. Five I'm on a Boat. By
125
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:14.480
the way, if two of the top ten are Lonely
126
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:18.759
Island sketches, think about that for a second. Four Papyrus, three,
127
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:21.639
Blank in a Box. You remember that one with Justin
128
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:24.439
Timberlake and again Lonely Island. So they're three of the
129
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:27.120
top ten. Maybe we should give Lowly Island a show.
130
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:30.759
Two Black Jeopardy with Tom Hanks. That was fantastic, And
131
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.439
according to Andy Wire, the number one SNL sketch of
132
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:38.000
the twenty first century is Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton
133
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:41.000
Addressed the Nation, Amy Polar and Tina Fey in character.
134
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.560
There not the worst list I've ever seen. Again, I'd
135
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:46.560
have to do homework and come up with my own list,
136
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.079
and I'm not going to do that. So it's fine,
137
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.639
but I feel like there should be better things, or
138
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:54.839
maybe the things in my mind happened in the nineties
139
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:57.160
and I've lost track of time. Anyway, let's take the
140
00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:58.680
break here, we'll come back and we'll look at the
141
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:03.120
top fifty cast member is according to USA Today. Okay,
142
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:06.040
another list I haven't looked at yet. I like to react.
143
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:09.720
This is from USA Today. SNL turns fifty. We ranked
144
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.279
the best cast members over fifty seasons. One hundred and
145
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.720
sixty seven cast members have appeared on the show. Here's
146
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.240
their list at number fifty. Bowen Yang, he's been on
147
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:23.639
the show since twenty nineteen. Just gut react here. Now
148
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:25.319
we've had one hundred and sixty seven. Do you think
149
00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:27.680
there are forty nine people better than Bowen Yang? He's
150
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:29.879
pretty strong. I don't know who else is on the list,
151
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:31.519
so I can kind of have see who forty nine
152
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.639
is because I half scrolled down. If Bowen Yang is fiftieth,
153
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:40.120
this is a strong list. Forty nine Love It's forty eight,
154
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:43.759
Sherry O Terry forty seven. Nora done. There's no way.
155
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:46.120
Nora Dun's better than bo Yang. There's no way Cherry
156
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.120
O Terry's better than Bowyang. But I'm not going to
157
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:50.399
sit here and just nitpick the list. Just accept my
158
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.200
premise that Bowen Yang should be higher up this list.
159
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:53.519
I'm not going to keep going. There's no way he
160
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:57.799
shows but at bow Yang forty six, Chris Parnell forty five,
161
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:04.679
Julia Luis Dreyfus forty four, Arren Killem forty three, Sadekas
162
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:08.679
forty two, mikey Day forty one, Seth Myers forty, Gene
163
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:11.720
Curtain thirty nine, Beck Bennett he was on from twenty
164
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:15.159
thirteen to twenty twenty one. Thirty eight, Tracy Morgan thirty seven,
165
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:18.720
Lorraine Newman thirty six, Vanessa Bear thirty five, Leslie Jones
166
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.759
thirty four, To Meadows thirty three, Heidi Gardner thirty two,
167
00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:25.000
Eighty Bryant thirty one, Chris Rock, Yeah, I think in
168
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:27.879
terms of SNL, Chris Rock's not the most memorable cast
169
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:32.039
member thirty, Jimmy Fallon twenty nine, Will Forte twenty eight,
170
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:36.399
Mike Myers. Mike was a pretty strong ensemble player. Let's
171
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:38.480
se who's ahead of him. Molly Shannon at twenty seven,
172
00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:41.600
Chevy at twenty six, Norm at twenty five, and at
173
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:44.519
Gasteyer at twenty four. I'm not sure I agree with
174
00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:47.200
that ranking. Twenty three Andy Samberg. You know the guy
175
00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:49.519
who came up with three of the top ten sketches.
176
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:51.919
Maybe we ought to have him a little higher Guys
177
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:56.360
twenty two, Fred Ormiston twenty one, Sandler twenty Cecily Strong.
178
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.399
I'm a big fan of hers nineteen, Bill Hayter eighteen,
179
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:04.240
Tina seventeen, Darryl Hammond sixteen, Jana Hooks, who has been
180
00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:07.360
forgotten USA today, writes, Hooks was the every woman SNL
181
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:09.720
desperately needed in the late eighties, grounding every sketch with
182
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:15.320
her bright smile. Fifteen, Rachel Dratch Yeah, fourteen, Bill Murray thirteen,
183
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:21.120
Kristin Wig twelve, Keenan eleven, Dana Carvey ten, Maya Rudolph nine,
184
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:26.840
Akrooyd eight, Kate McKinnon seven, Chris Forley six, Amy Poehler five,
185
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:30.320
Will Ferrell, Okay, top five here Will Ferrell. I mean,
186
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:32.799
I'm not the biggest Will fan, but clearly one of
187
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:36.240
the all times on that show. Four Belushi, John Belushi
188
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:39.120
Jim Belushi did not make the top fifty, but John Belushi.
189
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:42.919
Three Gilda Radner, and poor Gilda has just been forgotten.
190
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:45.320
I'm glad she's high up on this list. Two Phil
191
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:49.759
Hartman and number one, the best cast member of all
192
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:53.399
time on Saturday Night Live, Eddie Murphy. And they write
193
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:55.399
no cast member has made a bigger impact on the
194
00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:57.360
show or created a better launching pad for the crew
195
00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:00.519
than Eddie Murphy. For five years, the man was sa
196
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:02.759
l the lynchpin on which every sketch was built and
197
00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:06.039
every joke was centered. From mister Robinson's neighborhood, which parodied
198
00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:08.159
Fred Rodgers with a biting satire of what white people
199
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:11.039
think of the ghetto, to mannic mumbling little Rascal Buckwheat
200
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:13.399
to a two four impression of James Brown singing and
201
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:15.639
dancing in a hot tub. It was impossible to take
202
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:19.039
your eyes off Murphy on Saturday Nights. Yep, he was incredible.
203
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:21.360
I'm going to call up the Wikipedia of who has
204
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:23.759
been on the show and just see who they might
205
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:27.559
have left out comes to mind. So what about somebody
206
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:30.080
like Colin Jost who's been a writer on the show
207
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:33.279
and anchoring the show for was it a decade already?
208
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:38.080
Victoria Jackson. She was pretty good. That's my era Dennis Miller, So,
209
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:40.519
I guess we're underrating the news desk. I mean Dennis
210
00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:43.519
Miller was a key part of that show. So same
211
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:45.200
comment on Kevin Neil, and I guess we're not really
212
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:49.159
paying attention to the news desk. I mean, Joe Piscopo
213
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.559
should have made that list. I'll go back and look
214
00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:54.360
at the bottom of the list. You know that was
215
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:57.480
my SNL. I was a little young for the initial cast,
216
00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:00.960
but was definitely watching the Piscopale Murphy years. So just
217
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:04.720
to scrape the bottom here, Bowen love at Scherio Terry, Like,
218
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:06.960
you can't tell me Joe Biscopo shouldn't be head of
219
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:11.360
Scherio Terry, Nora Dunn, Joe Piscopo, Come on, Joe bisco
220
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:13.960
should be on this list. He was Drysdale to Eddie
221
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:17.519
Murphy's Cofax. He was the Keith Richards to Eddie Murphy's
222
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:19.639
Mick Jagger. You know what I'm saying. Like pisk Po
223
00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:21.559
is a huge part of those shows. I know he's
224
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:23.240
been forgot, but pisk Po was great. He should be
225
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:25.440
on the list. Colin Quinn again, no love for the
226
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:28.960
News desk Ratio Sans didn't make it, Rob Schneider didn't
227
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:31.759
make it, Spade didn't make it. Anyway, it's just a list.
228
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:34.240
I'm not gonna get too upset about it. Be curious
229
00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:36.320
to know who's on your list. That's a good conversation
230
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:39.120
for the Facebook group Daily Comedy News podcast group. I
231
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:42.080
will start that discussion. You can show him in. Esquire
232
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:45.799
asked does it Saturday Night Live still matter to young comedians?
233
00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:50.080
Abigail Covington tells us about Jess Engel. Jess was auditioning
234
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:52.639
for SNL, a thirty year old comedian from Midland, Texas.
235
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:56.879
She auditioned in front of Louren and Colin Jost. Esquire writes,
236
00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:58.360
with a deep breath, she stepped into the light and
237
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:00.000
delivered her set, a mix of stand up and character
238
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.679
to work, focusing her gaze on Joe's to friendlier face
239
00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:07.039
than the famously inscrutable Michaels spoil alert. She didn't get
240
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.679
on the show and doesn't know why. She says, they
241
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:12.519
don't give you any feedback. Her team tried to console
242
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:15.120
her with reminders of SNL's low pay and brutal schedule,
1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.640
2
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:12.439

00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:55.000
