That Show Hasn’t Been Funny In Years: an SNL podcast

Nick looks back at one of the most unmistakably '90s episodes of Saturday Night Live. On November 11, 1995, writer and director Quentin Tarantino made his only appearance as host in a strange, controversial, and often uneven show that also featured The Smashing Pumpkins as the musical guest. It was a transitional season that introduced new cast members including Molly Shannon, Will Ferrell, and Cheri O'Teri, while Tarantino sang, danced, shouted, played himself in multiple sketches, and threw himself into every moment.

Along the way, Nick shares behind-the-scenes stories and revisits several memorable sketches, including the infamous one featuring Tarantino, as himself, discussing movie directors having relationships with their leading actresses, a sketch that has definitely not aged well. It's a fascinating look back at a true SNL time capsule and a reminder that one time hosting was probably enough for Quentin Tarantino. [Ep 190]

The title may be a little misleading, but this episode celebrates the three times Saturday Night Live was hosted by actors who played James Bond...three episodes featuring only two Bonds. Nick begins with Pierce Brosnan's hilarious 2001 appearance, complete with behind-the-scenes stories, his memorable monologue featuring a surprise guest, a sharp West Wing parody, and a terrific sketch with Will Ferrell as an absolutely terrifying boss.

Then it's on to Daniel Craig's two turns as host in 2012 and 2020, featuring unforgettable sketches about some very questionable Bond Girls, an awkward construction site full of terrible catcallers, and a friendly game night that quickly goes off the rails. Along the way, Nick shares more behind-the-scenes stories and wraps things up with a special montage of Sean Connery's greatest moments from Celebrity Jeopardy. Bond. James Bond. Saturday. Night.
