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

They may have gotten laughs at the table read or killed during rehearsal, but for some reason, these sketches completely tanked on live television. On this episode of That Show…, Nick looks back at five Saturday Night Live sketches that bombed in front of a national audience.

You’ll hear those disastrous moments, the stories behind them, and a breakdown of what went wrong—some of them are actually pretty funny! Talented performers like Christina Applegate, Dakota Johnson, John Goodman, Sarah Sherman, Kenan Thompson, Bobby Moynihan, and Mary Gross all played a part in these infamous misfires.

Also featured are insights from comedy legends like Conan O'Brien, Kristen Wiig, Tom Hanks, and Seth Meyers as they share their own experiences of bombing on SNL. [Ep 114]

In this episode, Nick pays tribute to one of the most iconic characters in Saturday Night Live history: Sally O’Malley, the unforgettable 50-year-old who’s proud to tell the world her age. She can kick… stretch… and kick! She’s 50! Created and portrayed by the brilliant Molly Shannon, Sally O’Malley has become a classic SNL character, delivering big laughs and memorable moments each time she takes the stage.

Nick shares how Molly Shannon brought Sally O’Malley to life, including the real-life inspiration behind the character, straight from Shannon herself. He also revisits some of Sally’s most iconic sketches, starting with her 1999 debut alongside Danny DeVito. Other standout appearances include collaborations with Ben Affleck, the Jonas Brothers, Betty White, Seth Meyers, and more.

To wrap things up, Nick highlights Sally’s triumphant return during the SNL 50: The Anniversary Special, where she once again kicked, stretched, and kicked—this time with Emma Stone. It’s a fun, nostalgic look back at one of SNL’s most beloved characters. [Ep 113]
