That Show Hasn't Been Funny In Years: an SNL podcast on Radio Misfits

Award-winning radio personality, podcaster, and SNL fanatic/historian NICK DIGILIO hosts this weekly deep dive into the world of the granddaddy of all sketch-comedy shows. Nick, a Second City grad and veteran of Chicago comedy and theater, has watched every single episode of SNL since George Carlin hosted the premiere on October 11th, 1975. Consisting of new and old episode analysis; SNL-relates guests; historical impact; and even entire episodes dedicated completely to just one sketch…this is every SNL fan’s dream podcast, and proof that that tired, cliched statement: “That show hasn’t been funny in years,” is simply NOT true.

Michael Keaton

I really liked your last podcast about Michael Keaton. It was interesting to hear the changes in his four monologues over the years.

Even out that volume please

The clips are much louder than the host, the mismatch was so jarring I had to turn it off. Decently enjoyable content if you follow SNL.

Hi I really love this show Can you talk about the time big bird and Telly monster did a Wayne’s world parody on Sesame Street that had a guest appearance by Mike Myers as Wayne Campbell please and thank you so much

I loved you on the radio. It’s sad to me that a so called “adult” can’t carry on a conversation without the profanity. I’m sure it makes little people like you feel tall, and that you won’t be told how to speak, because after all you are an “adult” . Grow up. Lol. Wait that’s pry why WGN canned you.

A FUN Listen

Nick knows SNL and for the casual SNL viewer this podcast will give you a greater appreciation for the work and people that have poured their talent into the show for nearly 50 years. Highly recommend!

It’s Good!!

I’m not a huge fan of SNL but listening to Nick talk about the show is really fun and interesting. Nick has a way of explaining and talking about the information as though it was super important stuff!!!

I hate when people dis SNL, too

Nick is the perfect person to do this podcast, a real fan. I loved the first podcast episode which prompted me to go find and watch the potato chip sketch. I can’t wait to hear the upcoming episodes.

Can’t wait!!!

Anxiously awaiting the first episode. Confident in the 5 star rating before even hearing an episode. If it’s anything from Nick Digilio it’s guaranteed to be awesome!
