SPEAKER_05: You know, I have to tell you something that I've been lately going back and watching some of the very the actually I watched the first Saturday night.
0:16
SPEAKER_05: It was Saturday night then.

0:21
SPEAKER_05: All the original Not Ready for Primetime players are on there.
0:24
SPEAKER_05: And so I want and they're musicians, some of the musicians made their debut there.
0:30
SPEAKER_05: Guys like Joe Cocker.
0:32
SPEAKER_05: I don't think Paul Simon made his debut there because he was with Artfunkel.
0:35
SPEAKER_05: Artfunkel.
0:37
SPEAKER_00: He was doing solo stuff by 75, but he was a host of the second episode.
0:41
SPEAKER_05: Not technically the musical guest, but so I really, and then when then I told you this is what I wanted to do, you were like, Oh, I love Saturday night.
0:48
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
0:49
SPEAKER_05: No, but you called it live.
0:50
SPEAKER_00: Saturday night live.
0:51
SPEAKER_00: That's right.
0:51
SPEAKER_00: Because I grew up with the 2000s.
0:53
SPEAKER_00: But no, we're going back and we're we're doing some of those uh beautiful musical acts from those early seasons of Saturday night.
0:59
SPEAKER_05: And we'll work all the way through.
1:00
SPEAKER_05: Let's make it a series.
1:01
SPEAKER_05: What do you say?
1:01
SPEAKER_05: I'm down, I'm down.
1:02

1:29
SPEAKER_04: Going big this Sunday morning.
1:50
SPEAKER_10: You gotta have something.
1:52
SPEAKER_10: If you wanna be with me.
1:55
SPEAKER_10: Nothing from nothing.
1:57
SPEAKER_10: Nothing.
1:59
SPEAKER_10: You gotta have something.
2:01
SPEAKER_10: If you wanna be with me.
4:07
SPEAKER_05: Let me just say, because um we have done a Billy Preston show and we did play that song.
4:13
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
4:14
SPEAKER_05: But I what I and we you know and I concurred.
4:17
SPEAKER_05: Is that the right word?
4:18
SPEAKER_05: We agreed.
4:19
SPEAKER_00: I concur, yes.
4:20
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, there you go.
4:21
SPEAKER_05: Okay.
4:22
SPEAKER_05: Since we're doing a Saturday night, he was the very first musical guest on Saturday night.
4:28
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
4:29
SPEAKER_05: And that is the song that he debuted.
4:33
SPEAKER_00: So we're not bankrupt for ideas, folks, or song.
4:37
SPEAKER_00: It's merely we're just being historically accurate.
4:40
SPEAKER_05: Oh, nice, nice point.
4:42
SPEAKER_05: But you know, I never what's really got to me is when I mentioned this to you when you arrived today, um, I I I never missed an episode back in 75.
4:51
SPEAKER_05: Not a single one.
4:52
SPEAKER_05: Um my wife would go to bed, she wasn't a big fan, but I I didn't care.
4:56
SPEAKER_05: I and I had only been married a couple years at that time.
5:00
SPEAKER_05: But um, I just I never missed a show.
5:02
SPEAKER_05: Lauren Michaels was a genius, the cast, unbelievable guys like John Belushi, Jane Curtin, Gilda Radder.
5:10
SPEAKER_05: Oh, Dan Aykroyd, I think I think he came along later.
5:15
SPEAKER_00: No, Dan Aykroyd was in the first season.
5:17
SPEAKER_05: No, I'm talking Chevy Chase.
5:18
SPEAKER_00: No, Chevy Chase was in the first season.
5:19
SPEAKER_05: In the very first one, because he did take kind of a break in there somewhere in between.
5:22
SPEAKER_00: Well, I think he was only on the first season.
5:24
SPEAKER_05: Maybe that's what the deal was.
5:26
SPEAKER_00: And then he immediately got catapulted into stardom and he let everybody know that he's better than the other.
5:31
SPEAKER_05: And they brought him back kind of funny.
5:32
SPEAKER_05: So I because I've been watching, I've I'm up to about season four or five now.
5:37
SPEAKER_05: Okay, cool.
5:37
SPEAKER_05: You know, and and it's funny too because they're the way they do things, the humor I at that time, you know, when I was younger, I probably laughed at everything, but now I look at it a little bit more objectively, I'm like, ah, they shouldn't have ever aired that.
5:49
SPEAKER_05: But you were saying they do the they were they this they the script's written that a day, and then they have that week to get it ready for that night.
5:58
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
5:59
SPEAKER_00: I think something uh I'm gonna just front-load this.
6:03
SPEAKER_00: I get this uh this commentary from a YouTuber that I really enjoy, Drew Gooden.
6:08
SPEAKER_00: He's very popular.
6:09
SPEAKER_00: And he has done, I think, several episodes about Saturday Night Live, but his his video from 2021 titled I Watch One SNL Episode from Every Season is really good because he goes back and he watches one SNL episode from every single season, which doesn't sound like a lot, but I mean at that point that's almost 50 years worth of episodes.
6:31
SPEAKER_00: So um he he has some good commentary on how we take for granted that SNL isn't always gonna be super funny simply because they have they they write and produce and rehearse all of the sketches within one week.
6:48
SPEAKER_00: And so not all of them are gonna be good, but that's also why when they are good, it's so magical because nobody ever expects it.
6:57
SPEAKER_00: Like I I think of uh the more cowbelt sketch.
7:01
SPEAKER_00: It was just the perfect storm that came on later in life, yeah.
7:04
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, if you if you had gotten anyone else to do any of those uh parts in that sketch, it might not have been so funny.
7:12
SPEAKER_00: But just the the fact that Will Farrell is so intense about it, he's wearing this tiny little shirt, and uh Christopher Walken is taking it so seriously, it's just the perfect storm to create his just magic that is remembered for years to come.
7:26
SPEAKER_05: Well, it warmed my heart when I told you that I wanted to do this.
7:29
SPEAKER_05: Oh, I love Saturday Night Live.
7:30
SPEAKER_05: I said, No, we're talking Saturday night.
7:32
SPEAKER_00: Yes, that's true.
7:33
SPEAKER_00: And I should say that I did watch the first I watched at least the first season of Saturday night.
7:39
SPEAKER_05: Then you were how old?
7:41
SPEAKER_00: I was probably like twenty.
7:42
SPEAKER_05: Oh no.
7:43
SPEAKER_00: Didn't you tell me you were watching it when you were six or something with your okay, no, I'm talking about the first season of Saturday night from 1975.
7:50
SPEAKER_00: Oh god.
7:51
SPEAKER_00: I watched it when I was 20 because I was already a fan.
7:54
SPEAKER_00: Because I've been watching Saturday Night Live since I was a little kid.
7:58
SPEAKER_05: There you go.
7:59
SPEAKER_00: Now when I think of the very first season that I remember, it had like Will Farrell and Tina Faye and Amy Poeh and Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Fallon, Tracy Morgan.
8:09
SPEAKER_05: And I love Tina Faye.
8:12
SPEAKER_00: Oh, she's hilarious.
8:13
SPEAKER_05: Alright, well listen, I think uh most of the music or all the music is gonna be from 75 or 76 and maybe 77, but let's do a let's do a series.
8:22
SPEAKER_05: Let's just let's just make it a series.
8:24
SPEAKER_05: This will be the first, and we'll just go through the years till we get to Saturday Night Live and the more modern stuff.
8:29
SPEAKER_05: And if you have any suggestions, we'd love to hear from me.
8:31
SPEAKER_05: I'll give you that information later.
8:32
SPEAKER_05: Right now, I need to get the particulars out of the way.
8:34
SPEAKER_05: This is K SJ E.
8:36
SPEAKER_05: I'm David.
8:37
SPEAKER_00: I'm Lauren.
8:38
SPEAKER_05: And we're going to get another song from this is from Saturday Night Live.
8:43
SPEAKER_05: From Saturday line.
8:45
SPEAKER_05: You got me doing it now.
8:46
SPEAKER_00: I'm tripping myself up over it.
8:48
SPEAKER_00: I need to look up when it went from just Saturday night to Saturday Night Live because you know, technically it's all the same thing.
8:55
SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
8:56
SPEAKER_00: But it it is important to get that particular correct.
8:59
SPEAKER_00: Um, here is you pulled all the music for this show.
9:02
SPEAKER_00: You did all the hard work for me.
9:04
SPEAKER_00: Uh this is also the first uh musical guest on the first episode of Saturday night.
9:10
SPEAKER_05: Oh, Janice Ian.
9:11
SPEAKER_00: Janice Ian.

SPEAKER_05: Oh, great tune.
9:16
SPEAKER_05: Uh we've got David Ease coming up.
9:22
SPEAKER_07: I learned the truth that's the teen.
9:26
SPEAKER_07: The love was meant for the queens.
9:31
SPEAKER_07: And then high school girls with clear skin smiles, a married young and then return.
9:51
SPEAKER_07: We spend on beautiful seventy.
10:01
SPEAKER_07: And those of us with brates, lacking in social graces, desperate inventing God.
11:10
SPEAKER_07: Remember those who win the game, lose the love beside game in death should be a sanity.
11:26
SPEAKER_07: The small town eyes will give the children dull surprise when payment too exceeds accounts received seventeen.
12:58
SPEAKER_07: Whoa, whoa, younger than today.
13:11
SPEAKER_07: We all play the game when we dare to shoot ourselves it's solitary, venture song, repenting other lives unknown.
13:27
SPEAKER_07: They call and say commands with me, murmur vague sanitations, with ugly girls like me at seventeen.
13:53
SPEAKER_04: You're jamming with Ren and David on the KSJE Sunday morning wake-up call.
14:00
SPEAKER_04: That's a that's a groove.
14:12
SPEAKER_11: When I was a little boy, the devil called my name.
14:19
SPEAKER_11: See now, who do?
14:22
SPEAKER_11: Who do you think you're foolin'?
14:26
SPEAKER_11: I'm a consecrated boy.
14:32

14:34
SPEAKER_11: She loves me.
14:43
SPEAKER_10: She rocked me back around, baby.
14:51
SPEAKER_01: Well that's gonna be me.
14:55
SPEAKER_10: I'm the devil with all the bed, put to you make young food, he's always had his own language.
18:03
SPEAKER_04: Wren and I like to humor him.
18:05
SPEAKER_05: Here's David Knees.
18:08
SPEAKER_05: Storgasm.
18:09
SPEAKER_05: Storgasm, that's sex in the supermarket.
18:12
SPEAKER_05: Storgasm.
18:16
SPEAKER_05: Brilliant, Dave.
18:18
SPEAKER_00: Your best work yet.
18:19
SPEAKER_05: You think?
18:20
SPEAKER_05: Oh my friend.
18:23
SPEAKER_05: Don't forget that.
18:24
SPEAKER_05: Storgasm have you ever had a storgasm?
18:26
SPEAKER_00: Um, not particularly.
18:27
SPEAKER_00: No.
18:28
SPEAKER_00: Me neither.
18:29
SPEAKER_00: But now if I do, I'll know what to call it.
18:31
SPEAKER_00: I'll be able to tell people exactly what happened.
18:34
SPEAKER_05: Exactly.
18:35
SPEAKER_05: Guess what?
18:36
SPEAKER_05: I had a sorghum the other night.
18:37
SPEAKER_05: You had a what?
18:39
SPEAKER_05: K SJ E.
18:41
SPEAKER_05: I'm David.
18:42
SPEAKER_05: I'm Ren.
18:43
SPEAKER_05: And we're doing Saturday night.
18:44
SPEAKER_05: Not Saturday night live, but we're gonna get to that.
18:47
SPEAKER_00: We are gonna get to that, yes.
18:50
SPEAKER_05: Tell me a little bit about that, Paul Simon.
18:52
SPEAKER_05: You had something you wanted to talk about.
18:53
SPEAKER_00: Oh no, I was just gonna say that that was Paul Simon, who was the he's credited as the host of the very second episode of Saturday night, though he did also perform music with Art Garfunkel, and that was one of the songs he performed on the show.
19:06
SPEAKER_00: I think you know that is more of his uh independent work.
19:10
SPEAKER_00: Um I was gonna say too though that I was always very confused as a child because my name I go by Ren, but I also my full name is Lauren.
19:18
SPEAKER_00: And as a kid, I always heard people talking about Lauren Michaels, Lauren Michaels.
19:22
SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, who is that?
19:23
SPEAKER_00: I had to look it up.
19:24
SPEAKER_00: It's not Lauren Michaels, it's Lauren Michaels.
19:28
SPEAKER_05: I didn't know that.
19:29
SPEAKER_00: L-O-R-N-E.
19:30
SPEAKER_00: Lauren.
19:31
SPEAKER_05: I'm always calling Lauren.
19:33
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no, no, it's Lauren.
19:34
SPEAKER_05: I didn't know that.
19:35
SPEAKER_00: But still, it was like an eye-opener to me as a kid.
19:37
SPEAKER_00: I was like, I didn't know boys could be named that.
19:40
SPEAKER_00: All right.
19:40
SPEAKER_00: Now I know.
19:41
SPEAKER_05: You know, if I had a little bell, I'd ring it.
19:46
SPEAKER_05: Some information.
19:47
SPEAKER_00: There you go.
19:47
SPEAKER_00: Now to let the people know.
19:49
SPEAKER_00: Um I always loved uh SNL as a kid.
19:52
SPEAKER_00: Um my dad is, I think, like a year or two younger than you.
19:57
SPEAKER_00: He's turning 70 this year.
19:59
SPEAKER_00: But he always has adored Saturday Night Live all the way back when it was still just Saturday night.
20:04
SPEAKER_00: And so when I was growing up, it was an institution in our household.
20:08
SPEAKER_00: We dropped everything and watched it.
20:09
SPEAKER_00: And I didn't always understand the humor, but I always got a good laugh out of it anyway.
20:14
SPEAKER_00: And um all the way up until I was like twenty two, I watched it religiously every single weekend.
20:19
SPEAKER_00: Um good or bad, rain or shine.
20:22
SPEAKER_00: And it's fun because people like to complain about how Saturday Night Live isn't funny anymore.
20:27
SPEAKER_00: Which I think it's far too diverse of a show to say whether it's funny or not funny strictly.
20:34
SPEAKER_00: It's always been unfunny and funny at the same time.
20:37
SPEAKER_05: I was gonna say, yeah.
20:38
SPEAKER_05: But growing pains.
20:39
SPEAKER_05: They've had growing pains.
20:40
SPEAKER_00: They've had growing pains.
20:41
SPEAKER_05: And in our conversation, we're saying they have tried to make it a little bit more modernistic.
20:48
SPEAKER_05: So it's a little different.
20:49
SPEAKER_05: So us older folk may not quite uh like it or appreciate it.
20:53
SPEAKER_00: Which I think is valid too, because at the very least, like they're not gonna have the same writers for 50 years.
20:58
SPEAKER_00: Well, sure.
20:59
SPEAKER_00: Some of the writers in the writing room are Gen Z now.
21:02
SPEAKER_00: Um so they're gonna they're gonna have humor that that is uh simply just not applicable to every single generation.
21:10
SPEAKER_00: But I was gonna say, it's always fun watching Saturday Night Live when it airs because sometimes you'll catch those cornerstone moments that become or maybe touchstone moments that become like so big in culture.
21:23
SPEAKER_00: Like I remember watching the Lazy Sunday rap by Lonely Island when it aired for the first time all the way back in what, 2006?
21:31
SPEAKER_00: Lazy Sunday, wake up in the late afternoon to call Crisponel just to see how we don't, and then they talk it's basically just a rap about how they spend their Sunday off after doing SNL.
21:41
SPEAKER_00: They go and see the Chronicles of Narnia.
21:43
SPEAKER_00: The chronic What Calls of Narnia.
21:46
SPEAKER_00: It's classic.
21:47
SPEAKER_05: That is classic.
21:48
SPEAKER_05: Well, I just um I don't know.
21:50
SPEAKER_05: I I really, really and I wonder, you know, if it had come on earlier when I was a younger teenager with my dad would have allowed me to watch it.
21:58
SPEAKER_05: Um because he was kind of strict with that stuff.
22:01
SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
22:01
SPEAKER_05: Um although, you know, some of it it was pretty offensive.
22:07
SPEAKER_05: I mean, and by today's standard, they'd probably get taken off the air.
22:12
SPEAKER_05: Hell no, they wouldn't have because I mean if they were making So today's stuff is still offensive, is what you're saying.
22:18
SPEAKER_00: In its own way, yeah.
22:19
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
22:20
SPEAKER_00: I well I I I I've never really liked that argument that well, you couldn't make that today.
22:25
SPEAKER_00: Well, you could make that today.
22:27
SPEAKER_00: Because like like blazing saddles, the joke of blazing saddles was always that they're making fun of racists.
22:34
SPEAKER_05: Yes, exactly.
22:35
SPEAKER_00: And it's the same with All in the Family with R.
22:37
SPEAKER_00: T.
22:37
SPEAKER_00: Bunker.
22:38
SPEAKER_00: The whole joke was that you're not.
22:40
SPEAKER_00: Supposed to side with Archie Bunker being a bigot.
22:43
SPEAKER_00: He learns a lesson each episode.
22:45
SPEAKER_00: He's not humiliated, but he learns an episode, uh, a lesson each episode.
22:49
SPEAKER_00: And I think that there are absolutely sketches that SNL has made that that were wrong then and are wrong today.
22:56
SPEAKER_00: But um, you know, the better ones were always trying to say something.
23:00
SPEAKER_00: They were trying to be satirical.
23:02
SPEAKER_00: They were just they had a message, they weren't just there to be shocking.
23:05
unknown: Yeah.
23:06
SPEAKER_05: Well, I like to say, and I and you know, I still have quite an uncertain at the time I really like Chevy Chase, but the older I've gotten and re-watching it, he is an arrogant ass.
23:17
SPEAKER_05: Oh, anybody who's worked with him will tell you he's in those days, but as I watch it now, I'm like, he doesn't even need to be on there.
23:25
SPEAKER_00: Well, you think you when you watch it, you think, oh, that's just his shtick.
23:28
SPEAKER_00: That's just who he's pretending to be.
23:30
SPEAKER_05: Oh, that's who he is.
23:31
SPEAKER_00: No.
23:31
SPEAKER_00: They made um uh they made a documentary about him recently, and I haven't seen it, but there was one clip that went viral where the interviewer is interviewing him for the documentary, and she's like, I'm just trying to figure you out.
23:45
SPEAKER_00: And he's like, Yeah, of course you are.
23:47
SPEAKER_00: And I'm gonna tell you, you're not gonna be able to figure me out because you're not very bright.
23:51
SPEAKER_00: And he says that to her face, and she's like, Wow.
23:53
SPEAKER_00: And he's like, Yeah, that's just who I am.
23:55
SPEAKER_00: I'm just I'm just different.
23:57
SPEAKER_00: Most people don't get me.
23:58
SPEAKER_00: And it really comes across as very, I'll just say unlikable.
24:03
SPEAKER_00: So he's a funny guy, he's had a very interesting career as a person.
24:06
SPEAKER_00: I don't know if I like Chevy Chase, but I I've never met him.
24:10
SPEAKER_05: Well, it's the wake-up call with uh my lovely friend Ren and uh myself, Dave, Dave, as you might have heard.
24:17
SPEAKER_05: Dave.
24:17
SPEAKER_05: And you would you prefer I call you Lauren?
24:19
SPEAKER_00: No, Ren's good.
24:21
SPEAKER_05: Okay.
24:21
SPEAKER_00: I just sometimes say Lauren out of habit because it is my name.
24:25
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, true.
24:25
SPEAKER_05: Uh and I'm just wondering what we're gonna call the show.
24:27
SPEAKER_05: I I really Saturday Night Live?
24:30
SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
24:31
SPEAKER_00: We could just call it like live from New York or something like that.
24:33
SPEAKER_05: I like that.
24:34
SPEAKER_05: Let's do that because I think we might get in trouble for calling it Saturday Night Live.
24:38
SPEAKER_00: I I wouldn't know.
24:39
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I think there might be a franchise.
24:42
SPEAKER_05: Oh, good point.
24:42
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, good point.
24:43
SPEAKER_05: And I don't want to get any more trouble because we got kicked off of Spotify.
24:46
SPEAKER_05: I don't I don't want to get any more trouble.
24:47
SPEAKER_00: We're not bitter about that at all.
24:49
SPEAKER_05: No.
24:51
SPEAKER_05: No, no, no, not whatsoever.
24:53
SPEAKER_00: Well, I I just remember being a big fan of Saturday Night Live when I was living in New York or Nebraska.
24:58
SPEAKER_00: First, when I was living in Nebraska.
25:00
SPEAKER_00: And knowing that it did slightly bug me that we got it an hour later than it actually aired.
25:05
SPEAKER_00: Um, I was like, well, it's not really live then, is it?
25:08

SPEAKER_00: And Joe Cocker has held a special place in your heart ever since.
34:59
SPEAKER_05: It has.
34:59
SPEAKER_05: Um and you know, I I I didn't get quite as animated as Jim Belushi does when I was.
35:05
SPEAKER_05: John Belushi.
35:06
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, see, now you got me doing it.
35:08
SPEAKER_00: Now all the audience knows that you messed up and not me.
35:12
SPEAKER_00: No, I will give you the I I mistakenly called John Belushi Jim Belushi off the air, and Dave corrected me, but I got in his head.
35:20
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
35:20
SPEAKER_00: Anyway, so you weren't his brothers.
35:22
SPEAKER_05: They're brothers.
35:23
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, but yeah, I wasn't quite as animated as John doing Joe Cocker.
35:27
SPEAKER_05: But I was pretty animated.
35:29
SPEAKER_05: And I believe it.
35:30
SPEAKER_05: And I had to do it, I don't know, 30 times.
35:32
SPEAKER_05: I mean, the the Snowdown Follies goes for um three nights or two nights, I think.
35:39
SPEAKER_00: Okay, and you had to do multiple perfor performances throughout the day.
35:42
SPEAKER_05: Each night, yeah, each night.
35:43
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, they yeah.
35:44
SPEAKER_05: But so I have this special place in my heart for Joe Cocker.
35:48
SPEAKER_05: And I played Archie Bunker for the skit that we did, and my the people that I was in the skit with, and I wrote the skit the whole nine yards.
35:55
SPEAKER_05: The people I was in the skit with, because I had a s kind of a scruffy beard and you know, and and long hair.
36:01
SPEAKER_05: Well, I put my hair back in a ponytail for for Archie, but I refused to shave my beard because I was doing Joe Cocker.
36:07
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
36:08
SPEAKER_00: You gotta have the beard for Joe Cocker.
36:09
SPEAKER_05: Oh sure.
36:10
SPEAKER_05: So yeah.
36:11
SPEAKER_05: I got some great pictures of me backstage just sitting there looking like Joe Cocker.
36:16
SPEAKER_00: That's a that's a blast.
36:17
SPEAKER_05: It was a blast.
36:18
SPEAKER_00: Very cool, very cool.
36:19
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, uh he's he's been a musical guest on the show, Joe Cocker.
36:24
SPEAKER_00: So admittedly, I did play that song because of the famous John Belushi impression.
36:30
SPEAKER_00: Which I don't even think it's a bad impression.
36:32
SPEAKER_00: It's just so over the top.
36:34
SPEAKER_00: It is, and it makes me roll my eyes.
36:37
SPEAKER_05: Well, the thing I think about doing impressions, I think most impressionists will tell you you have to kind of take it over the top.
36:44
SPEAKER_00: You do.
36:45
SPEAKER_05: So, like if you ever saw Richard Little do Johnny Carson, it was over the top.
36:49
SPEAKER_05: But it was characteristic of Johnny Carson, just over the top.
36:53
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's almost like a living caricature.
36:55
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, exactly.
36:56
SPEAKER_00: Everybody knows that that's not what they're really like, but that's kind of what they're like.
37:01
SPEAKER_05: So uh Saturday night, Saturday night aired for the very first time.
37:05
SPEAKER_05: Did you say November in 75, November 75?
37:08
SPEAKER_00: October 75.
37:10
SPEAKER_05: And uh has been going strong since then.
37:15
SPEAKER_05: We had a little discussion off mic about it.
37:18
SPEAKER_05: It's different now.
37:20
SPEAKER_05: I don't I don't watch it now, it's really not my type of humor.
37:24
SPEAKER_05: I quit along around the Chris Farley stage, somewhere there after Chris Farley.
37:27
SPEAKER_00: Really, okay, yeah.
37:29
SPEAKER_00: You're missing, I mean, admittedly, I think you're missing a lot of good stuff.
37:32
SPEAKER_05: Well, we don't have to.
37:33
SPEAKER_05: Well, so I started watching the series at the very beginning, so I'll go all the way through to the end.
37:37
SPEAKER_05: Okay.
37:38
SPEAKER_05: But yeah.
37:40
SPEAKER_00: Well, um Chris Farley was slightly before my time, but I did grow up watching a lot of best of compilations.
37:48
SPEAKER_00: So best of Chris Farley was my favorite best of compilation.
37:53
SPEAKER_00: But uh my my first year, I think, being conscious of watching SNL, because it was S NL at that point, was like the year 2000.
38:01
SPEAKER_00: But ever ever since then, there's been Tina Faye right?
38:04
SPEAKER_00: Tina Faye, Jimmy Fallon.
38:06
SPEAKER_05: I would like and I like Jimmy Fallon, or Jimmy Fallon.
38:08
SPEAKER_05: I like Jimmy Fallon, I like Tina Faye.
38:10
SPEAKER_05: So I should at least go.
38:11
SPEAKER_05: Oh, you would like those sketches.
38:12
SPEAKER_00: They're funny.
38:13
SPEAKER_00: They're funny.
38:14
SPEAKER_00: Well, especially if you like Tina Faye's writing.
38:15
SPEAKER_00: She started as a writer on the show, but she just was so animated.
38:19
SPEAKER_00: They were like, okay, let's put her on.
38:20
SPEAKER_00: And uh, you know, as I got older, there were some other great acts.
38:25
SPEAKER_00: There's Maya Rudolph, obviously, she's great.
38:27
SPEAKER_00: Uh when I I think of Kristen Wig, I think of uh Andy Sandberg and Bill Hayter, um, lots of great performers.
38:35
SPEAKER_00: And then Kate McKinnon, who I would say is one of the biggest stars to come out of SNL.
38:40
SPEAKER_00: Personally couldn't stand her when she first started on the show.
38:43
SPEAKER_00: I thought she was it was the same thing with John Belushi's impression of Joe Cocker.
38:48
SPEAKER_00: I just thought everything she did on that show was so over the top, it would always take me out of it.
38:52
SPEAKER_00: But she grew on me as she got a little bit more comfortable and and didn't feel it to me, it felt like she wasn't trying so hard to be the funniest person in the room every second.
39:03
SPEAKER_00: Now now I really like Kate McCoy.
39:05
SPEAKER_05: Well, listen, if you have a suggestion, we'd love to hear it.
39:08
SPEAKER_05: Is there a special Saturday night show that you liked, I'd like to hear about that too.
39:12
SPEAKER_05: Um but drop us an email, interest concepts, all one word, all lowercase, I-N-T-E-R-W-E-S-T, C-O-N-C-E-T-E-S.com.
39:24
SPEAKER_05: And uh take a look at the website there.
39:26
SPEAKER_05: You can hear all our past episodes are there as well.
39:29
SPEAKER_05: Uh and we're very thankful to K-S-J-E for airing us.
39:33
SPEAKER_05: We're not live, but recorded live.
39:36
SPEAKER_00: We're pretty much recorded live.
39:37
SPEAKER_00: We don't edit.
39:38
SPEAKER_00: The only thing we edit out is if like there's a slightly too long of a pause, that's what we'll edit out.
39:43
SPEAKER_05: So for all concerned, this is March 1st.
39:45
unknown: Yeah.
39:46
SPEAKER_00: For as far as you know, this is March 1st.
39:49
SPEAKER_00: It's never been anything else.
39:51
SPEAKER_05: They're not trying to pull the wool over your eyes or anything like that.
39:54
SPEAKER_05: So, but yeah.
39:55
SPEAKER_00: Hey, I have a question for you too, real quick.
39:57
SPEAKER_00: Um maybe I'll bring up the question and then I'll give you time to think about it while I play a song.
40:01
SPEAKER_05: Okay, that sounds probably a good idea.
40:03
SPEAKER_00: Now, this guy is synonymous with well, maybe not synonymous, but a lot of people know him from Saturday night.
40:10
SPEAKER_00: Um but he was never officially a not ready for primetime player.
40:14
SPEAKER_00: It was Andy Kaufman.
40:16
SPEAKER_05: Oh, yes.
40:17
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you're an Andy Kaufman fan.
40:19
SPEAKER_05: I know Andy Kaufman very well.
40:21
SPEAKER_00: Well, very cool.
40:21
SPEAKER_05: And he was on uh Taxi, which was one of my favorite shows.
40:24
SPEAKER_05: He was, wasn't he?
40:26
SPEAKER_00: I know him uh mainly for the Mighty Mouse sketch, which I believe here he comes.
40:32
SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
40:34
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
40:34
SPEAKER_05: I love that.
40:35
SPEAKER_00: And and frankly, I I don't know a lot about his other forms of comedy, but I do I did love his Mighty Mouse sketch.
40:41
SPEAKER_05: He was a stranger.
40:42
SPEAKER_05: He was trying to do a wrestler, got his butt kicked.
40:45
SPEAKER_05: He's just an interesting cat for sure.
40:47
SPEAKER_00: And one of those some of his humor, like I remember he I don't I doubt he was serious about it.
40:53
SPEAKER_00: I think he was just kind of trying to be a troll at the time.
40:56
SPEAKER_00: I vividly remember he would like go on talk shows and say, Women aren't strong enough to beat me in the ring and stuff like that.
41:03
SPEAKER_00: And he would he would get the women really angry so that they would come and and fight him in the ring.
41:07
SPEAKER_00: And I think that was just him trying to rile rile people of her comedy.
41:11
SPEAKER_00: But the Mighty Mouse sketch specifically is just so weird that even today I I think it can appeal to a lot of people's sense of humor because the joke isn't a a political reference nobody gets anymore.
41:25
SPEAKER_00: It's not a a lofty joke, it's just here's a weird guy doing something weird on stage.
41:30
SPEAKER_05: You know, Mighty Mouse was one of my favorite cartoons when I was a kid.
41:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, same with my dad.
41:34
SPEAKER_00: He loved Mighty Mouse, so he loved that Andy Coffin sketch as well.
41:37
SPEAKER_05: Absolutely.
41:38
SPEAKER_05: I forgot all about that.
41:39
SPEAKER_05: It was one of my old time because he would sing it and then he would sit there while the music played.
41:42
SPEAKER_05: You just seem kind of bobbering.
41:44
SPEAKER_00: He wasn't even singing it, he was just mouthing to it because this like really overly dramatic hand sweep.
41:50
SPEAKER_00: It's it's a good sketch.
41:52
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, very good.
41:53
SPEAKER_05: Oh man, bringing in back all kinds of memories.
41:55
SPEAKER_00: Um speaking of, I believe the uh no, it's not the same episode as the Mighty Mouse sketch, but I am gonna play another early uh SNL SN uh musical guest, Randy Newman, who I I know you're not too fond of Randy.
42:12
SPEAKER_00: I don't he writes good music.
42:13
SPEAKER_00: I'm not crazy about his voice, but I love the guy.
42:16
SPEAKER_00: The d the dude has had a bunch of number one hits, so he's doing something right.
42:20
SPEAKER_09: Here's Sail Away in America you get foody, won't have to run to the jungle and scuff up your feet.
42:38
SPEAKER_09: You just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day.
42:45
SPEAKER_09: It's great to be an American Ain't no line of tiger, ain't no mama state, just a sweet water melody in the bug we came everybody as happy as maybe all the walls in the way with me.

45:16
SPEAKER_04: Stick around, it'll get better.
45:18
SPEAKER_04: W U C on K SJ E.
45:20
SPEAKER_08: Do do do down to be do down down.
47:35
SPEAKER_08: Do you do down down?
47:42
SPEAKER_05: Who was that?
47:43
SPEAKER_00: It was Neil Sidak.
47:44
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I knew that.
47:45
SPEAKER_00: I think that's probably the song I know him best for, but he's also done Oh, Carol, and Laughter in the Rain.
47:52
SPEAKER_00: And I think he was the musical guest on Saturday night, um, their eleventh episode.
47:58
SPEAKER_00: In the very first season.
48:01
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, you know, and he did I think was it Karen Carpenter that he did a song?
48:04
SPEAKER_05: Uh that he they did a lot of his music, and I remember her saying in the end of the court.
48:09
SPEAKER_05: Sadaka is a good idea.
48:12
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I know I know Karen Carpenter probably a bit more than Neil Sadaka, but I wouldn't be able to tell you if she covered his music.
48:25
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, weren't the Carpenters?
48:26
SPEAKER_00: They were kind of like unfairly called not good because their music was so sentimental or something.
48:34
SPEAKER_05: And you know, she was a drummer.
48:36
SPEAKER_05: She played drummers.
48:37
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.
48:38
SPEAKER_00: I love the Carpenters when I listen to their music now.
48:41
SPEAKER_00: I I think Karen Carpenter's voice is just gorgeous.
48:43
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they did the cover of that song like hailing all planets from interstellar or something or other.
48:51
SPEAKER_00: It's like a it's definitely a departure for them.
48:53
SPEAKER_00: It wasn't such a sentimental romantic song.
48:56
SPEAKER_00: It was about like aliens coming to Earth and saying like it's it's uh it's uh the day that everything changed on Earth because we meant the aliens.
49:06
SPEAKER_00: She doesn't really get it.
49:09
SPEAKER_05: I probably have heard it.
49:11
SPEAKER_05: I don't remember it.
49:13
SPEAKER_05: This is W C are A GM Not a DM.
49:19
SPEAKER_00: No, you're the dungeon master.
49:21
SPEAKER_05: That's right.
49:24
SPEAKER_00: You're a dungeon master, right?
49:26
SPEAKER_05: No, I've never been a master.
49:28
SPEAKER_05: I've always just been a player.
49:31
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, there you go.
49:32
SPEAKER_00: I never I never realized that, but yeah, your your initials are DMs.
49:35
SPEAKER_00: You're the ultimate DM.
49:37
SPEAKER_05: Well actually they're R DM.
49:40
SPEAKER_00: RDM?
49:41
SPEAKER_00: Oh, that's right, because you're like Paul McCartney, you go by your middle name.
49:46
SPEAKER_05: I don't know what the deal was, but my mom is obviously named me uh Robert David.
49:52
SPEAKER_05: Robert somewhat of after my dad, but my dad's real name was Bobby.
49:57
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yes, and he didn't like that.
49:59
SPEAKER_05: Bob, and he was not she wasn't Bobby, I think, and he was like, no, don't do that to the kid.
50:07
SPEAKER_00: Should have named you Sue.
50:08
SPEAKER_00: A boy named Sue.
50:09
SPEAKER_05: That'd have been fine.
50:10
SPEAKER_00: That kind of reminds me, why didn't he like Bobby?
50:12
SPEAKER_00: I'm sure I've asked you this before.
50:14
SPEAKER_00: Just because people didn't take him as seriously.
50:16
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, maybe.
50:16
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
50:17
SPEAKER_00: That's kind of what that's something I always remember from the.
50:20
SPEAKER_05: I remember asking.
50:21
SPEAKER_00: There's always there's that book uh by um Kurt Vonnegut Slaughterhouse Vives where the main character goes specifically by Billy Pilgrim.
50:29
SPEAKER_00: Because his dad told him, always go by Billy, people will underestimate you and like you more.
50:33
SPEAKER_05: Oh, wow, man, that's interesting.
50:35
SPEAKER_00: That could that could be something to do with that.
50:37
SPEAKER_00: It's been a long time since I read the book, so I might get it wrong.
50:40
SPEAKER_00: All you all you Vonnegut fans, feel free to correct me.
50:43
SPEAKER_05: Well, my new Tacoma is named after my mom and my dad.
50:47
SPEAKER_05: I call it Bobby Sue.
50:48
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, my mom's middle name was Sue.
50:50
SPEAKER_05: And I thought if I had a girl, if I ever had another girl besides my firstborn, uh I would name her Bobby Sue.
50:57
SPEAKER_05: I think that's a lovely name.
50:58
SPEAKER_05: I do too.
50:59
SPEAKER_05: I kind of like it, but that might have insulted my dad.
51:02
SPEAKER_05: Because he didn't like it.
51:04
SPEAKER_00: I think you made the right choice.
51:05
SPEAKER_00: I think you made the right choice.
51:07
SPEAKER_00: Alright, so I want to get this song in before we run officially out of time.
51:12
SPEAKER_00: This is uh also she was in the second episode of Saturday night, but she was the official, she only performed a song with um with what's his name.
