On episode #2 of this SNL podcast, Nick is joined by comedian, writer, and actor Jon Rudnitsky, who was a cast member for one season of “Saturday Night Live,” and it was a very memorable season indeed. Jon talks about how he was discovered at a comedy festival, what he did for his SNL audition, and what it was like to work those grueling, no-sleep-having hours at 30 Rock (without the cocaine they had in the 70s). They talk about his first moments on the show (Miley Cyrus licked him), the nightmare of working on the episode that Donald Trump hosted during the Presidential campaign (we’re not sure if Trump can read), and the bond he had with cast members like Kate McKinnon, Bobby Moynihan and Kenan Thompson. Jon also talks about what it’s like to work with George Clooney, be inspired by the Marx Brothers and Sid Caesar, and the joy of working with Larry David on “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” A must listen for all SNL fans.
