Off Week 59: The Chevy Chase Show (May 5, 1977) 1:59:28

4d ago1:59:28

1:59:28

As a companion piece to both last month's Richard Pryor special and last week's S5 coverage, we're digging into Chevy's first special for NBC. Basically the first thing of note that he did after leaving SNL, this one contains some interesting correlations to his earlier Groove Tube/Radio Hour days but the question remains: is it funny?…

Off Week 58: The Richard Pryor Special? (May 5, 1977) 1:52:47

18d ago1:52:47

1:52:47

It's the last stop before we get to the Richard Pryor Show: Richard's NBC special that precedes the show by just a few months! It's a cameo-filled journey through the back stages of NBC and beyond, including an earth shattering performance by Maya Angelou and the first televised appearance of Sandra Bernhard!…

Off Week 57: MADtv's Fourth Christmas Episode (Dec. 12, 1998) 1:09:06

1M ago1:09:06

1:09:06

It's that time of year again! Time to check back into MADtv with season four's Christmas special from 1998! There's been a few scattered changes from last year (some of better, some for the worst) but we're definitely in the era of peak popularity for the show and you know the show is gonna ring all the bells it's got to ring. Spishak, Ms. Swan, St…

Off Week 56: Flip Wilson...Of Course (Oct. 18, 1974) 1:29:18

2M ago1:29:18

1:29:18

We begin our Richard Pryor Show journey here, in 1974, with a Flip Wilson special. Produced by Lorne Michaels a full year before SNL started and only a few months after Flip's show had ended, it acts as a sort of passing of the torch moment from the old guard to the new guard. Too bad it never really comes together in any cohesive way...and too bad…

Off Week 55: Invaders From Mars (1986) 1:33:26

2M ago1:33:26

1:33:26

We're again returning the Cannon Group well for this year's October Off Week and coming up with Tobe Hopper's Invaders From Mars remake from 1986, featuring Laraine Newman! It's got Hooper in the directors chair, Dan O'Bannon on script and Stan Winston on effects. Can such pedigree produce a fun, sci-fi romp? Tune in to find out!…

Off Week 54: Wayne's World (1992) 1:42:28

2M ago1:42:28

1:42:28

(Original Patreon air date: Sept 9, 2022) It's the 30th anniversary of the first Wayne's World movie and so, here we are...trying our best to break it down but instead finding a surprisingly convoluted script for such a simple premise. Does the most successful SNL movie of all time still hold up all these years later? The answer...is somewhere in t…

Here we are! We're closing out the seventh season of That Week with the season finale of S24 and we've once again brought Jon Schneider along for the ride.

Episode 127: Barry Bostwick/Spinal Tap (May 5, 1984) 1:53:54

3M ago1:53:54

1:53:54

It's another classic Ebersol era Weird One as we wind down one era of the show and build up the next (and beyond) with a record five people showing up in this one before they became cast members. You got Fernando on Update. You've got a mini-epic with the Turkey Lady. Spinal Tap! Soupy Sales! Lets go!…

Off Week 53: Fridays - Tab Hunter/KISS (Jan. 15, 1982) 2:10:11

4M ago2:10:11

2:10:11

It's time for Fridays once again and this time, we've got William in tow! To get the full scope of this one, we needed two separate versions of the episode but it's all worth it just to see that magical moment when Rich Hall bombs harder than anyone has ever bombed in sketch comedy history. Elsewhere, we really run the gamut with this one: some cla…

Episode 126: John Goodman/Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (April 10, 1999) 1:34:24

4M ago1:34:24

1:34:24

No, this isn't a rerun. This is just the tenth time John Goodman is hosting the show in as many years but thankfully, it just may be his finest outing ever. Join us as we explore this intensely dark outing from the last few months of Adam McKay's reign over the show and maybe, just maybe, learn a little something about family.…

Episode 125: Nancy Kerrigan/Aretha Franklin (March 12, 1994) 2:03:20

5M ago2:03:20

2:03:20

It's time for another infamous episode and thus we'll need the combined forces of both Arthur Meyer AND Jon Schneider to help us get through this one. Despite being a huge ratings boost for the show at the time, this one has long been since viewed as one of the worst episodes of SNL...but is it ALL bad? Join us as we see if there's anything to salv…

For the first time in a long time, we're jumping to the next episode in chronological order from our last one and why not? It's Willie Nelson doing double-duty with some backup from special guest Danny DeVito! Join us as we untangle this mellow, laid back entry into the annals of sketch comedy history.…

Buffy has the flu! and an invisible fedora wearing demon is killing children in hospitals.

Episode 123: Bronson Pinchot/Paul Young (Feb. 14, 1987) 2:12:23

6M ago2:12:23

2:12:23

It's Valentine's Day over at the ol' SNL factory and that means we gotta break out the big guns. Not only do we get a host way out of his depth with Bronson Pinchot and the middling musical stylings of a one Paul Young but we've also got model Paulina Porizkova in tow and of course, because it's S12, a little smattering of Buster Poindexter as well…

Episode 122: Jon Hamm/Michael Buble (Jan. 30, 2010) 2:30:31

6M ago2:30:31

2:30:31

What's this? William Ham and Eddie Ham appearing on the show to discuss an episode hosted by Jon Hamm?! That certainly sounds whimsical indeed! Join us as we struggle to sort the present from the past with an episode that is good but is also kinda bad and misses a few key moments and we rant and rave. It's fun!…

We're back for the first episode of 2024 and finally getting around to one that we've had on the back burner for awhile now. Yes, we did slightly cover this one all the way back at the birth of the show on an early Off Week but now we're digging full bore into one of our favorite modern SNL outings!

As the wise Beach Boys once said, "Christmas comes this time each year" and following those sage words, we've decided this would be the best time to drop our Christmas episode! Jon Schneider is back aboard the ship to discuss Martin Short's cameo packed S38 outing as we hack it up about canonical vs. non-canonical moments, tearing ass, fateful bus …

9M ago1:35:21

1:35:21

We've got a true oddity on our hands this time around: one of the few episodes to hosted by someone completely in character. We're talking dominant hands, audience cameos, fluctuating ages, Swartzwelder, Father Guido Sarducci AGAIN, and more!By That Week In SNL

Episode 117: Brittany Murphy/Nelly (Nov. 16, 2002) 1:32:48

9M ago1:32:48

1:32:48

We don't visit season 28 of the show much, mostly for good reason, but this one has so much going on that we just had to do it. You've got Brittany arguably at the height of her popularity post-8 Mile, cameos from beloved alum like Adam Sandler and Garrett Morris (also, Rob Schneider shows up), and your usual smattering of SNL sketch offerings, mos…

Sex is bad! Don't do it.. that's the lesson we learned from this episode. Men suck.. David proves acting evil comes pretty naturally to him, and we're impressed. Sarah's performance is heartbreaking and we're here for it! This was one fine episode and we had a blast breaking it down. Mel found some fun five by five facts after listening to the comm…

What a match made in heaven this should have been. You've got one of rock's greatest satirists hosting America's premiere late night sketch show (a show that he's already been on and crushed it, mind you) for the HALLOWEEN episode and yet, nearly the whole damn thing is just rotten. Frank tries to torpedo already questionable material, no one seems…

Ah, now here's a real oddity. You've got technical difficulties, feverish non-endings to sketches, a brutal runner about family strife, and a host giving scenes more honest realism than may have even been on the page. It's just our kind of show. Let's dig in (digging in may not be recommended if you're a My Chemical Romance fan)!…

We're kicking off our Summer Off Week episodes with what we thought would be a mellow, easy way to get into the swing of things.
