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

In this episode, Nick reviews the performance of "The Summer Jobs" tour of stand-up comedy that he recently attended in Chicago. The hilarious show was performed by "Saturday Night Live" cast members James Austin Johnson, Devon Walker, and Andrew Dismukes. Nick not only reviews the comedy show but also provides a bio of each performer, sharing their comedy background and playing back some of their best work on SNL.

You'll hear highlights from Studio 8H, including terrific Weekend Update appearances by each comedian and some very memorable sketches featuring Johnson, Walker, and Dismukes. Enjoy Johnson's incredible Trump and Biden impressions, Walker's hysterical take on NBA star Draymond Green, Dismukes' wonderful bit about his great grandmother, and the classic sketch where he plays a best man in a wedding party dressed as The Joker.

These three talented SNL cast members are on tour this summer, so don't miss them live, and don't miss this look back at their fine contributions to SNL and more. [Ep81]

Dave Attell is one of the best and most influential stand-up comedians of the past three decades. His uproarious nightclub shows, brilliant TV specials, guest appearances on talk shows, regular spots on "The Daily Show," and his groundbreaking and hilarious show "Insomniac with Dave Attell," have cemented his reputation as a comedy legend, especially in New York. However, his stint on "Saturday Night Live" was short-lived and rather unmemorable.

Attell was hired as a writer and background performer after Lorne Michaels saw his very first network television appearance on "The Late Show With David Letterman" (which you will hear in this episode). Despite his talent, SNL and Dave Attell never really meshed. In this episode, you'll hear the background stories of why SNL didn't work for Attell, how his stand-up was completely different from his work on the show, and you'll listen to sketches and jokes he wrote during his tenure. Sometimes, even the best comic minds don't fit into the world of "Saturday Night Live," and that's certainly the case here. [Ep80]
