Once upon a time, Hibba was Candice's college resident assistant. But soon, they became friends thanks to their one commonality: Saturday Night Live. Bringing their live-texts to the mic, Candice and Hibba are here to recap each episode of SNL for you. Pull up a chair as they talk about their personally devastating crushes on Pete Davidson, their dream musical guests who never seem to finish their albums on time (looking at you, Aubrey Graham), and how punchable Colin Jost's face is that week.
Please do not be alarmed, remain calm. Do not attempt to leave the dancefloor. The DJ booth is conducting an
One of the most well-connected comedians of our time hosted SNL to say goodbye to some of her best friends. With the announced departures of mainstays Kate McKinnon (sad!), Aidy Bryant (sad!!), Pete Davidson (yep) and Kyle Mooney (sure), this episode was bound to be a tearjerker, but at least Lorne picked a host who understood the assignment. Episode: Season 47, Episode 21 Date: 05/21/2022
Order up at Waverly Sub Station! Gen-Z / Millennial cusp headliners Selena Gomez and Post Malone were a hot ticket at Studio 8H. Selena aimed for an Emmy nomination, tried to convince us that her and Mikey Day were a couple, and reminded us why we love her so much. Episode: Season 47, Episode 20 Date: 05/14/2022
The Cumberbitches were writhing for this one. Eternal Oscar nominee Benedict Cumberbatch came back for his second hosting gig, bringing horny cowboys and Chuck E. Cheese spon-con to the table read. Episode: Season 47, Episode 19 Date: 04/16/2022
Finally, a double duty that made sense! Queen of Yitty Lizzo honored the halls of Studio 8H with her presence and came out swinging home runs. We loved this episode and it was about damn time for Lizzo to show the girls how to do it right (take notes, Adele)! Episode: Season 47, Episode 18 Date: 04/16/2022
A boy in Los Angeles was once told he could sing, and he hasn't stopped since. Former white boy of the month Jake Gyllenhaal returned to SNL where he failed to remind us why he's relevant. Speaking of relevant, pop question mark Camila Cabello graced the stage (without Ed Sheeran, thankfully) and somehow kept her place in Candice's On Repeat playlist on Spotify. Episode: Season 47, Episode 17 Date: 04/09/2022
Rothaniel is a great, heartbreaking and edifying comedy special on HBO Max where Jerrod Carmichael sits in a chair and dishes the dirt. But at the end of the day, Carmichael is a writer and that showed in this episode of SNL, where he played a clumsy pallbearer and Bowen Yang's husband. Episode: Season 47, Episode 16 Date: 04/02/2022
Nepotism icon Zoë Kravitz landed at the very stage where her grandparents met, and proved once and for all that we will never be cool enough to sit with her at brunch. Episode: Season 47, Episode 15 Date: 03/12/2022
How many times can Candice say "Oscar Isaac is hot?" The answer is: a lot. We break down this kooky episode, which featured an all-too-relatable fanfiction sketch and starred the Moon Knight of our dreams. More importantly, we campaign to get The Avenger on Peacock! Episode: Season 47, Episode 14 Date: 03/05/2022
Get Hibba on ESPN because one of her SNL Draft Picks made it onto the corkboard! John Mulaney returned to Studio 8H and a lot has happened since we last saw him. We talk through our complicated feelings about his return, whether we would spot Mulaney at Starbucks, and what disappointed us about his entry into the Five Timers Club. Episode: Season 47, Episode 13 Date: 02/26/2022
Candice's almost-Hinge-match Willem Dafoe finally meets Hibba's former Six Flags buddy Katy Perry at SNL, where they each gave pretty uneven performances. We reflect on our Katy Cat days, complain about Willem Dafoe never looking his age, and plot out how Rami Malek will slowly take over the Dafoe-sized hole in society. Episode: Season 47, Episode 12 Date: 01/29/2022
Eurovision finally brings what SNL lacks — Europe — to the stage with Måneskin's electrifying performances. But let's not bury the lede! Olivia-Munn-ex-boyfriend Will Forte finally makes his hosting debut with a lot of MacGruber, a welcome dose of Kristen Wiig, and the right amount of headboard pounding. Episode: Season 47, Episode 11 Date: 01/22/2022
I've been waiting for this one! Eternal sunshine of my life, So You Think You Can Dance? star Ariana DeBose brings it to SNL. And Bruce Springsteen's unauthorized tether Jack Antonoff brings his dad to chaperone Bleachers' performance as this week's musical guest. Episode: Season 47, Episode 10 Date: 01/15/2022
We're back — right where this podcast started — with our host and musical guest picks for the upcoming 2022 SNL corkboard! Hibba and Candice are notorious for getting a few of their guesses right (even if they happen eight months later than expected), but a booking is a booking nonetheless! We go through our predictable, surprising, and wild card guesses, while giving a quick review of Paul Rudd's fifth time hosting (which really was more of a Tina Fey-hosted episode). Play along and tell us who you think should be added to the draft: twitter.com/satnighthive
Billie Eyelash re-graced the stages of SNL to pull double duty, a feat that we were admittedly nervous about. But Hibba and Candice go into the highlights (her musical performances) and the lowlights (putting the hospital in hospitality) of this episode. Episode: Season 47, Episode 08 Date: 12/11/2021
Two Marvel men in a row don't always make for great sketch comedy. Finding themselves in yet another standstill, Hibba and Candice talk about (some) highs and (most of) the lows in this episode, concluding with the pinnacle question: how do YOU pronounce Billie Eilish? Episode: Season 47, Episode 06 Date: 11/20/2021
Divisive. Controversial. Sad Virgins. Those are the defining characteristics of this episode, which put these two hosts on different sides of the Weekend Update desk. We're unable to find common ground on this week's sketches, but we can admit that five-timer Taylor Swift made a splash that reached beyond Studio 8H. Episode: Season 47, Episode 06 Date: 11/13/2021
Succession hive, all rise! Our second-favorite boy Roman Roy has graced the SNL stage. We dissect the hosting abilities of celebrities vs. actors, and why Ed Sheeran must finally be stopped at all costs. Episode: Season 47, Episode 05 Date: 11/06/2021
It was an SNL homecoming for our red jumpsuit prince Jason Sudeikis. Hibba and Candice dive into their not-exactly-met expectations of this episode, and why Ego Nwodim should have student-teacher conferences with all the hot hosts from now on. Episode: Season 47, Episode 04 Date: 10/23/2021
Rami Malek, aka Andy from season 4, episode 11 of "Gilmore Girls," brought his disarming magnetism to SNL and honestly, he did great! We talk about our full-blast crushes on Angelo, and how we need less Daniel Craig and more Sleepytown USA mattresses. Episode: Season 47, Episode 03 Date: 10/16/2021
The real ones call her KKW, but the realest ones call her "a pretty good SNL host." Candice and Hibba dive into their surprisingly positive feelings about this episode, and make bets on who'll go on a date with KKW after the show: Michael Che? Kyle Mooney? Let's just say, Kris is drafting the TMZ scoop. Episode: Season 47, Episode 02 Date: 10/09/2021
When Lorne calls the kids back to Studio 8H, that means we're back for another season of recapping SNL! Today, we're talking about Lightning McQueen's human tether aka Luke Wilson's brother, who combats his fear of public speaking and hosts for the first time. While the episode was as flat as Route 66, we recorded this episode in person at a hippie co-working space, and that's worth celebrating. Episode: Season 47, Episode 01 Date: 10/02/2021
It's our last episode of the season! Hibba and Candice welcome Anya Taylor-Joy completist Lindsay Hiser to dive into Anya's unbreakable comedic timing, Lil Nas X's overwhelming hotness, and who they think will be leaving the Saturday Night Live stage this season (sadly, not Colin Jost). Episode: Season 46, Episode 20 Date: 05/22/2021
One of Candice's wildest dreams came true: Keegan-Michael Key hosted Saturday Night Live, bringing elements of his MADtv and Key & Peele days to Studio 8H. But it was Olivia Rodrigo, the inevitable queen of Summer 2021, that made Hibba and Candice get in their cars and scream-cry "deja vu." Episode: Season 46, Episode 19 Date: 05/15/2021
When Candice and Hibba were bombarded with the announcement that El*n Muskrat would be hosting Saturday Night Live on May 8, they had the same reaction (ew!) and came to one conclusion: we're tapping out. We explain our reasons why, how bookings like this are a pattern more than an exception, and what we'll be doing with our Saturday instead.
What happens when a Promising Young Woman appears in the same room as a Timotheé Chalamet-approved rap/fashion/culture maven? An oddly clunky monologue and deep-dive Googling during commercial breaks. We break down what went right (that dress!) and what went wrong (guitar husbands!) with Carey Mulligan and Kid Cudi's episode of SNL. Episode: Season 46, Episode 17 Date: 04/10/2021
The final stop of Daniel Kaluuya's Oscars campaign tour was a quick stop at Studio 8H, where he blessed us with his charming personality. Interestingly, his best performances were the ones that were cut for time, but we have a few theories about why that happened. Episode: Season 46, Episode 16 Date: 04/03/2021
It's always a fun time when cast members come back to host. While Maya Rudolph didn't exactly "wow" us, we had a lot to say about Jack Harlow, who we truly had less-than-zero expectations for. And yet, he entrapped us. He really did. Episode: Season 46, Episode 15 Date: 03/27/2021
SNL's host-and-musical-guest designation is reserved for only the most dynamic performers of the present. Nick Jonas was surprisingly added to that category and did not exactly reach the stars. We talk about what went wrong and why this episode was a perfect metaphor for his music career thus far. Episode: Season 46, Episode 14 Date: 02/27/2021
It's official: Regé-Jean Page was hands-down one of the best hosts we've seen in years. From a cathartic "drivers license" sketch to Bad Bunny playing a highly relatable houseplant, we sit down to talk about why this episode brought us endless joy and made us remember why we love Saturday Night Live. Episode: Season 46, Episode 13 Date: 02/20/2021
SNL has been a roll with their third first-time host this year. It's been a long time coming for Regina King to host SNL, and we were delighted to see her nail it — which isn't surprising because Regina King can do it all. Episode: Season 46, Episode 12 Date: 02/13/2021
The king of the 2020 Emmy Awards descended upon Studio 8H with a performance that wasn't exactly out-of-the-box. Nonetheless, Dan Levy's mild manners were uprooted by Phoebe Bridgers, who took her sad girl tracks and turned them into a fiery performance (RIP to that amp). And we're joined this week by our first-ever guest/Phoebe Bridgers academic Devon Williams! Episode: Season 46, Episode 11 Date: 02/06/2021
John Krasinski, who seemingly can't evade his Jim Halpert past, hosted SNL for the very first time with rapper-turned-Camila-Cabello-feature-turned-Hot-Topic-employee Machine Gun Kelly. We sit down to talk about how these white boys didn't do much for SOME of us, but a lot for Ratatouille culture. SNL Episode: Season 46, Episode 10 Date: 01/30/21
Welcome to the Saturday Night Live 2021 Draft! This week, we're bringing our 10 picks for 2021's SNL guest roster, along with 6 musical guests, and an out-of-this-world wildcard. Play along and tell us who you think should be added to the draft: twitter.com/satnighthive
