00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.119
Callaroga Shark Media. Hey, Jonny Mack with a second episode

2
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:15.119
here on Saturday. This episode is about Saturday Night Live's

3
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:18.559
homecoming concert thing whatever the proper title is. They had

4
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:22.079
such a show on Friday Night that I wanted to

5
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:24.559
tell you about it. Now. Quick note, there is a

6
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:27.120
naughty word coming up. I try to keep the show clean,

7
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:31.399
but Lady Gaga and Andy Samberg performed a song Andy

8
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:34.240
usually does with Justin Timberlake. That's a little naughty. There's

9
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:36.200
no way around it. Gotta let the word go. So

10
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:38.520
you know, if you're like super brutish and you got

11
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:40.600
a kid, you know, skip today's episode. But it's the

12
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.119
one about a box. We'll get to that. I'm gonna

13
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:45.039
have to dive in and out of the clip to

14
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:47.359
stay out of trouble and keep it in fair use

15
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:50.520
territory and not just Johnny Mack thought this was funny.

16
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:53.920
And here's five minutes out walks Andy Samberg, Lady Gaga

17
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:57.880
is on the piano and let's listen. Tell me something girl.

18
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:06.280
Are you hanging in the crazy world or do you

19
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:10.799
need more? And I got to stop here because it's bad. Yes,

20
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.040
it's very bad. Yeah, I could, I could tell as

21
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:19.719
soon as I started it was off. Yeah, maybe we

22
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:25.000
skip it. Yeah, I think we maybe maybe we could

23
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:29.239
do something that's more in your vocal orange. Yeah, good thought,

24
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:33.079
good thought for sure. But what I mean there is

25
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.519
one song, but Justin's not here to do his parts,

26
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:39.400
all right, So you get the idea there, and they

27
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:42.959
go into the in the Box song and let's dive

28
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:49.560
back in. You know, such a long time, such a

29
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:57.640
long time, no to lay it on the line. Well,

30
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:02.079
you know, it's Christmas and my heart is so open,

31
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:07.560
why open? Gonna give you something, so you know what's

32
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:12.240
on my mind, what's on my mind? I give for

33
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:19.120
a special So take off the t take a look inside.

34
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:25.120
It's my dick in a box a box and man,

35
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:27.159
I'm gonna let this go a little bit here. You

36
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:30.439
would swear that this is a quote unquote real song.

37
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:34.680
Listen to how talented Gaga is. I'm gonna get you

38
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:39.719
with Donnery. That's sort of gift on me then anything.

39
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.960
Now I'm gonna get you a fancy car. Girl, you

40
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:48.240

It's something rare I wanna get you something from my house,

43
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:03.840
special girl. It's I mean, this is just fantastic, especially

44
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:06.400
when you consider what the in the box song is

45
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:11.080
just awesome. Then it turned into a medley including a

46
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.919
fan fave Lazy Sunday outcomes, Chris Parnell. We'll give you

47
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:23.479
sample of that. How you do it? Hello Samburg? What's cracking?

48
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:27.319
You think you would have? What? Firks mahunka pain? Some

49
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:33.560
stick it like? Um, let's got hold of punk roxy?

50
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:37.840
I love the By the way, can we follow up

51
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:43.039
on a Friday's podcast? If Andy Samberg is responsible for

52
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:46.319
three of the top ten sketches of the twenty first century,

53
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.120
how is he not in the top three all time

54
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.759
on SNL Talent? Like my man's up there. Plus he's

55
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.080
in the Macpack, which is my fantasy group when I

56
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:55.800
become a famous celebrity who I'm gonna roll with and

57
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:57.599
he's in the Macpack and it'll be me and him

58
00:03:57.639 --> 00:03:59.680
and chick list than the others. His next clip, I

59
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:01.960
hear for you. The Backstreet Boys are doing one of

60
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:05.199
their hits and I'm old, I don't know main back

61
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:07.719
Street Boys. Guy. You guys can send me letters like

62
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:09.000
how do you not know what it is? I don't.

63
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.360
I don't care. They were too young for me. Main

64
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:16.240
Backstreets boys guy goes out into the crowd and starts

65
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.040
singing with Jerry Seinfeld, which you can kind of sort

66
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:39.839
of hear here. Come to tell me why. Host Jimmy

67
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.480
Fallon clarified the three hour show would only present musical

68
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.000
guests and not handout awards. Jimmy said, apparently there's been

69
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:46.720
some confusion, and this is just a concert. We're not

70
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:48.279
giving out any warts nights. I just want to make

71
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.920
sure that everybody knows that. Then the bit, Tom Hanks

72
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:54.160
and Rita Wilson got up and left. John Mulaney spoke

73
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:58.120
of SNL's music guru, how Winner, and how if how

74
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.360
We're still around. He would have loved a lot acts

75
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.000
on the bill, and Malaney said he also would have

76
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:03.800
hated parts of tonight, and I would have loved to

77
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.439
talk to him about the parts he hated. Variety recapped

78
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:08.839
Will Ferrell and Anagast are getting out there doing their

79
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:11.600
middle school teacher thing. Marty Colp and Bobby mohan Culp

80
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:13.879
take on Drake in the dis Wars, Whether they mean

81
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:15.279
to or not, It would have been a mistake to

82
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.480
revive too many of SNL's musically inclined recurring characters, but

83
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.319
this special arrived with the right balance. They were really

84
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:23.759
the two we were hoping for, both involving Will Ferrell,

85
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.079
the lounge singer style culp duo and the Blue Oyster

86
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:29.040
Cult cowbell arranger. One out of two wasn't bad. The

87
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.240
pair ran through a medley of the Incorporated Bratt Good

88
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:33.560
Luck Babe on Holy Denila Is a River and other

89
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.240
recent hits, all getting the Marty and Elaine at the

90
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:39.000
Dresden Room treatment, with the eternal joke being that these

91
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:41.439
happily married really do mean to be hep, but are

92
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:44.199
just never going to think about lyrical appropriateness. Blah blah blah.

93
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:48.000
Here's your full set list. Jimmy Fallon Soulman, Miley Cyrus

94

00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:49.720
if I could turn back time, Jack White Rocking in

114
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:52.680
the Free World and Seven Nation Army looking Ahead to

115
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:56.800
Tomorrow Seems Dan Ackroyd and Bill Hayter are not coming.

116
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.759
A source close to Dan Ackroyd tells Late Night that

117
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.879
Ackroyd quote could not come. Matt Beloney at Puck News

118
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:09.160
says that Bill Hayter was a quote polite decline. Dick Eversall,

119
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:11.920
who was the executive producer during the five years Lauren

120
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:15.319
wasn't there, will not be at the show, reportedly due

121
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:19.120
to health issues. Ackroyd posted on social media cracking ahead

122
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:21.399
with pride at having been a co founder of SNL

123
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:23.639
along with everyone we were together within those four years

124
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:27.439
five decades ago. This telecast is as historical as the

125
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:30.360
next moonlanding comedy. Stars of our age, all gathered under

126
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:33.240
the ages of America's greatest living impresario, My boss, Lauren

127
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:36.920
michaels people, it's friggin' holy. So I wonder why Dan

128
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:41.240
isn't coming. I'm just looking up how old he is now.

129
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:45.240
He's only seventy two now, speculating maybe he was older

130
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.920
than that and didn't want people to see old Dan Ackroyd.

131
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:51.240
I don't know. I worked with him once we were

132
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:54.720
in Chicago and we did a town hall broadcast for

133
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.639
serious exam. A town hall would be like you'd get

134
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.600
cool celebrities and invite a small hand full of listeners.

135
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.839
So we did one with Ackroyd and Jim Belushi celebrating

136
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:06.319
the Blues Brothers. So that was the only time I

137
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:09.240
work with Acroyd. Totally cool, totally professional. Didn't catch any

138
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:11.839
attitude from him, So I hope everything is okay with Dan.

139
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:13.839
I'm quite surprised he's not coming, but I don't know.

140
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:17.240
The Bill hater thing super weird to me. No idea

141
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:21.600
a fun story going out. On Thursday evening, New Yorker

142
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:24.639
editor Susan Morrison sent out a mass email invitation to

143
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.879
an event for her bio of Lauren Michaels. Apparently she's

144
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.279
not familiar with BCC. The Blind Carbon Copy people started

145
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:36.440
hitting reply all. A lot of people were on this one.

146
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:39.480
Tina Fey chimed in about two hours into this and said,

147
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:42.200
dear boomers and sent the link to a YouTube video

148
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:44.799
for senior citizens on how to read reply and Ford

149
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:48.840
emails when using a Gmail account. John Hamm then replied,

150
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:51.879
all ah, thanks Tita. Also thanks Susan, I'll see you

151
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:54.879
there bump. Colin Jost joined it at ten or four

152
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:57.480
pm and said, guys, the video Tita sent is malware.

153
00:08:57.840 --> 00:08:59.919
Make sure to keep hitting reply all or the virus

154
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:02.840
can infect your computers. Haym again, Oh my goodness, thank

155
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:05.840
you young man. Aaron Sorkin jumped in and said, how

156
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:08.279
did I get involved with this? Hilarious? All right, that

157
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:12.279
is your bonus comedy news on this Saturday. Earlier today,

158
00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:14.720
an hour long episode, Mike Chisholm and I from The

159
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:18.759
Letterman Podcast talked about Dave's appearance on Fellon we talked

160
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:21.679
about SNL fifty. Tomorrow's already in the can. It's more

161
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:25.720
or less a normal episode. Monday is a normal episode,

162
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:28.000
and then my plan for Tuesdays to do a recap

163
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:30.360
similar to this one, with hopefully lots of clips. I

164
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:33.679
may drop that one Monday afternoon as an early release

165
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:35.720
for Tuesday, but we'll see how things go. All right,

166
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:38.320
enjoy the rest of your Saturday. Back in the morning.
