This week on Space Cowboys RIPEcast we have the man I consider the holder of the House music championship belt our very own Brad Robinson. Coming at you with a live old school vinyl set! “The Birds of a Feather event was something really unique. To have so many of the old school Bay Area burning man crews pool their energy and resources to bring community together into one place, was just phenomenal. When Tamo first told me about the plans for the event, I got really excited, especially when she told me that there would be turntables poolside. I immediately started digging through my vinyl and reminiscing of the days when we would all dance together to these records. Each one of these tracks is like an old friend and getting to play them again for a dance floor of chosen family was a real treat. Thank you to all of the event planners who went above and beyond to create this very special weekend for us.”

ogether well and who worked with what writer well, and everyone's trying to findtheir place.And I think Lorraine, in the early seasons, showed the breadth of what she could do.And she was also a lot younger. I think we talk a lot about how Dan Aykroyd was so young.She was only 23 when the show started. started so there's also that kind of like finding her place on this big national stage all of a sudden and being a lot younger than some of the othercast too right brad.[12:20] Yeah, I think it's more the age thing. She's being younger.And also, you know, she was a California girl, so she's so far away from home at a young age, thrust into this environment with the personalities you have.Your Chevy Chases, your John Belushis, your Dan Aykroyd, your Gilda Radner.So I think fighting amongst that and being so young, I think all those things is what is what led to her having to maybe what seems to be fighting a little bit more than some of the others.Yeah, I think she was she was a great cast member in that sense, because like SNL, especially the early years, I always look at it as a sports team. And with a good sports team, you wantto have a good season or whatever.Everybody needs to kind of slide into roles and see what holes need to be filled and everything.And they can't all be like Chevy Chase was the breakout star of season one.Not everybody's going to be Chevy.You have to have role players and utility players.And that sounds like a dig, but coming from comedy nerds, being called the utility player is actually a really big compliment to me. So if I think of Lorraine in that sense, that's a hugecompliment.Did you see her kind of fill in a lot of those utility roles from what you've seen, especially in the first couple seasons?[13:47] Oh, 100%. I think that's what we're going to talk about a lot tonight is, you know, and she purposely did not have a lot of recurring characters because she didn't want to do them.And so, you know, I think on a surface level, you look at Lorraine Newman and you're not going to see the characters Belushi had.You're not going to see the screen time Chevy had. But when you actually look at it, what you're going to see is that utility player, that person who was vital to making sketches work,making the show work.I almost, I was looking through kind of all the scenes that she was involved in. She's in tons of famous scenes and stuff, you remember.She's kind of like the cherry on top on a lot of those scenes.Like, she just adds that little extra something that really ties it all together and brings it together.And I think she set the standard for what that was, both men and women moving forward on how you contribute and are a vital part of the show, but you're not the star, if that makes anysense.But you can't diminish how important that role is, like you were just alluding to. Yeah, she she adds a lot to a lot of sketches.And even when she's not the focus, she brings things that you and maybe at first.[14:56] Viewing you don't realize it either and you you see it again later and it's like oh look she was brilliant in that and she was i think so underrated with her singing like a lot of thesinging that she did in the first few seasons totally goes unnoticed but she's great and she just she brought it and she could sing in different voices and different characters and withdifferent accents there's an episode in season one where the musical acts singing and her and gilda come come out and are doing hula hoops.And I remember when we covered that episode, we're like, is there nothing she can't do?Like, there's nothing Lorraine Newman, you ask of her, she cannot do.Sing, dance, hula hoop, impressions, characters, she can do everything.And if you remember, I think it was with Candice Bergen was the host, and they all came out and hula hooped.And Lorraine did not drop that hula hoop for the whole four minutes or whatever. It was amazing.And it was just like, it's those small little things that you don't really really notice unless you look for it. And she was excellent.Yeah. Well, I don't know if I'm stepping on an example, but like you, Brad, you talked about her putting like that cherry on top of a sketch, the Basso Matic.Yes. Wouldn't have been the Basso Matic sketch. Yeah.Without Lorraine Newman, it would have just been Dan rambling, which I, I mean, I'm a huge Dan fan.I don't mind if he's rambling on and on, but Lorraine coming in there with her classic line.[16:20] Wow that's terrific bass we've got fish here that just completely adds to it it was it was lorraine's delivery her charm that's why they brought her in the 40th lorraine was back doingthat exact same line in that sketch she's 40 she takes that sketch from an a to an a plus yeah like she literally like it it's an a it is an a sketch and she makes it an a plus.[16:45] Yeah yeah yeah absolutely and then to your point gary about her singing that's something i noticed too with a lot of the sketches i watched like an episode that you all covered inseason two she did a barbara streisand oh yes right amazing yes yeah it wasn't just like it was a funny song if you really listen to the lyrics it was a funny song it was almost like playingoff of streisand thinking very highly of herself but it worked in a lot of ways because lorraine could sing what big.[17:51] When I first watched that sketch, I had to rewind it because I was so caught up in her actual voice and how well she was singing that I had to stop and go back and listen to thelyrics to listen to how funny it was because it is a very funny song, but she sang it so beautifully as Barbra Streisand. It was excellent.And to a point on how good that sketch is and how good she is, that was your first sketch after the monologue and there was no intro.There's no Don Pardo saying here's barbara it's literally they come in from commercial and it's her and she just starts singing and she does a three to four minute tune on her own and she isamazing yeah also it's the same episode she did a howard hughes impression so just like as versatile and how good she is yes she did a barbara streisand flawless impression and then doeshoward hughes later in the same episode like old kind of wacko howard hughes old wacko beard like in a hospital hotel Hotel bed, yes, yeah, that's the same episode. Yeah, yeah.So you all, again, you two have covered the entirety of seasons one and two.Is there something that sticks out as far as Lorraine that people should go back and you could point out to them, look, it might be subtle or it may not, but this is what you should noticewhen you're re-watching those SNL sketches in terms of noticing Lorraine.[19:16] I think I'm going to go first, Brent. I think that if you go back and rewatch the Godfather therapy session with Elliot Gould hosting, she plays Sherry.Like Brad said, she doesn't have many recurring characters, but that's one.She plays... First time. The first time we saw Sherry. Yes, this is the first time we saw Sherry. Right.And if you go back and watch that scene, she owns the whole first half of that sketch where she just... She's the one carrying the story forward as Sherry talking to Belushi as theGodfather. and it's excellent.Ah, now we're getting someplace. What do you think about that?Drugs? I'm against them.We have to go in there. Vito, I'm not kidding. You're still blocking your real feelings. What about the rest of it?[20:08] Vito?Well, the restaurant London Supply was never a big money maker in the first place. Oh, you're hurting, Vito, and you're covering up.That performance in that sketch is one that when we watched it again, I think we really, we both appreciated her performance so much more than I think we had in the past.Is that fair to say, Brad? Yeah, I agree.You know, most people remember that sketch for John Belushi's Godfather and what a showstopper it was.And I was that way too. And then we watched it again.And Lorraine Newman has to stop at one point because the audience goes so nuts for her and her character that she had to stop and let it quiet down to keep going.So that's one. And the other one I would say, and again, and it's not a knock.It is hard to find a lot of like Lorraine Newman standouts, but it's not her role.And I don't mean as a knock. It's not her role. The other one I would say is another season one, The Exorcist 2, when Richard Pryor hosted.And she plays the Linda Blair character tied up in the bed with the girl voice.And it's just it's an amazing sketch. And she is so good in it.And that's another one that just it's early on and highlights her as just an amazing performer.[21:28] Oh, Father Chorus, I'm ever so hungry. Couldn't you give me some pea soup? It's right over there.The bag! There's more! More! More!Jeepers, I'm sorry.Oh, thank you, little girl. Thank you. You're such a nice little girl.I know that all the time. Oh, thank you.Here's your pea soup. Maybe now we can be friends, huh? That's right. What do you say?Thank you. Second![22:01] Yeah i think if somebody like gilda had played that i love gilda we all love gilda but lorraine provided almost the perfect level of creepy like the the level of acting i think gildawouldn't have been as it would have taken me out of the scene a little bit more if it was somebody like gilda but lorraine really had me immersed in it and because she i think she sheimmersed herself in that?That's a standout, Brad.Yeah. Yeah, as an individual. But again, as we said, I think her role is more elevating the sketch from an A to an A+, putting that cherry on top.Another example, Coneheads.Coneheads is a fantastic reoccurring sketch. We've seen it so many times. It's so iconic.If Connie Conehead is not in those sketches, the Coneheads are nowhere we're near as good as they are because she has that youthful element to it as the daughter.And she brings so much to those scenes, especially when they do like the family feuds.[23:03] Okay. 12 people said sandwich. All right, Connie, something that people like to bite.[23:10] The big one. That was the big one, all right.Does our audience bite the big one? Well, we all want to know that one.But every single time, she just brings so much to that, that you can't under credit what she brings to the Coneheads in general.And she plays that role really well in a bunch of different scenes, as the teenage daughter or the younger person in the sketch.Sketch, there's a scene, a sketch in season two, where Dan and Gilda play a couple that own a restaurant.And they go in the back and fight and she has to come out and play the recorder for the customers.And she doesn't say anything for the first maybe three or four minutes of the sketch.And then when she does, she's pleading for help for these people because her parents are crazy.And the way that she does it, she just like embodies this young teenager that you feel feel really sorry for her in a funny way.Like, she still pulls it off comedically, but she also brings this, like, sense of emotion across in a lot of what she does that I think is underrated.And it really drives some of these scenes forward.She was a really good actor.[24:21] She made almost everything she did on the show believable.Like, everything that we're talking about, like, I believed it and I was immersed in it because as Lorraine was.And it's interesting that we talked about a couple of her recurring, Connie Coenhead and Sherry. What I really enjoyed about Sherry.[24:42] Was that she, being Sherry, was put in different situations.It was almost like they weren't calling attention to the fact that it was a recurring character.Because Sherry was in all these different situations. She didn't have this theme song.Don Pardo wasn't doing a voiceover and saying, now Sherry.[25:01] Sherry was in the plain opposite in Godfather therapy.Sherry was in a sketch called Trans-Eastern Airlines that we had covered.She was in one of one one that i love that was a great roast of all the writers from the early day i was not a sucker for saturday night towards this is the chris christopherson episode at theend of season one that one i forget what your review of that sketch was but it had to be hot positive i really enjoyed that one because it was early in the episode and we hadn't drank thatmuch oh was that the episode that was the episode okay okay um but no it was it was very good it is she's yeah she's she was fantastic in that character and and like you said that they theyincorporate it in so many different ways she does a sketch with uh jack burns in season two where like you don't even realize it's sherry for like the first 30 seconds because it's so underthe radar and they they don't like you said they don't oversell it and that's the beauty of the character of the character the sherry character but a lot of the characters that lorraine plays she'splaying a funny character, but she is not the joke of the sketch.She is there to drive the sketch for everyone else to kind of land their big role.[26:14] John with the Godfather therapy session, but to do it in a funny way.And I think that's a big reason why she flies under the radar for people.Would you say, and her being a groundling, the more we're talking about, I keep thinking of Phil Hartman, you know, the grounding character.And yes, maybe Phil was a bigger name or known bigger in Saturday Night Live, but I feel like she set the foundation for somebody like a Phil Bill Hartman to come in and do what hedid.Cause he's basically doing what the rain did. He was that grounding force.He was the person adding to everything and making sure everybody around him could do what they wanted to do.And it's funny cause you know, they both came from groundlings and they have the same upbringing.I feel like, you know, you can kind of see that lineage there between the two of them. Yeah. What do you think about that, Gary? That's, I think that's a pretty good point.Yeah, no, that's a very good point. I think I'm glad you, Thomas, you gave that note to Brad to say that was very kind of you.[27:10] No, I think it's an interesting through line for the Groundlings, too, because I think after Phil, like the Groundlings that come in are a little different and a little more, they're biggerpersonalities probably than you would say Phil or Lorraine were.But they do establish that type of cast member that can help be that grounding force for everyone. That's a good point, Brad.And Thomas mentioned she's in the Groundling. Let's not overlook, she's a founding member of the Groundlings.Like she if not for her they may not be a groundling so let's give some credit to her there too and again when she was a founding member she was 21 I think like yeah she was a kid whenshe was doing all of this.[27:53] Yeah, I did the Jane Curtin episode with Andrew Dick, and we kind of compared Jane to maybe a bass player.[28:05] A lot of times the music or the song won't work without them, but they're not front and center, and you don't immediately notice them, but it would just be weird without them, andthey kind of keep the thing moving and going.With Lorraine, she's almost that way, but i think there's a little maybe just sometimes a little bit more flair so she's like uh if she comes in and plays like a tambourine or just plays a greatlike instrument that you're not expecting, but but she just kind of like adds that perfect thing like it's what the song needed yes yes yeah she's like the rhythm guitarist who can like throwin a solo every now and then what do you mean i feel like i feel that understates how good how important she is like i know what you're saying but i don't know theremin what about atheremin brad you're gonna have to explain to brad what a theremin is first thomas pretty much anyway not the podcast for that guys.[29:04] No but i think it just kind of speaks to that she and jane uh in the early days had very unique unique roles compared to a lot of the other people on the cast and she played it so welland there's something like to me a little uh when she needed it lorraine could be a little sinister in some in a lot of the characters that she played or she can play in like the the the weirdrealm like in the third her third or third episode she she was squeaky from and a lot of people even still remember her as squeaky from right yeah and she but she just had those like highshe could could like pull the dead eyes out when she needed to like that's something that really stood out to me is she can just like change her persona like that in an instant and bebelievable our guest this week is squeaky infamous for her alleged attempt on the president's life and for her connection with the manson family squeaky welcome, Die, lackey pig. Onething I'm sure our viewers would be interested in knowing is just how you came to be called Squeaky. Is that a nickname Charlie gave you?He isn't Charlie. He's the Holy Redeemer.Bourgeois hog face. Meet your maker, Squeaky.[30:18] Well, to piggyback our last episode, which didn't work so well.[30:22] She was a great voice for Michael O'Donoghue.There were tons of instances where Michael O'Donoghue would write you know, single person sketches.[30:31] And more often than not, it'd be Lorraine Newman, because she was that good.You know, you know, Jane couldn't do it. Gilda, who is immensely talented, couldn't kind of have that dark side take that turn.And it says a lot to Lorraine Newman that you have to like Michael O'Donohue, you have to know who the hell he is, and what he's writing.But to that point, it shows her versatility, that while she can play a little schoolgirl along with gilda in a slumber party sketch she can also play a really uh like dark and scary uh corpse likecharacter coming up from a coffin for an infomercial written by michael o'donohue like she can just do so much do you think that was a deliberate thing by michael o'donohue think hekind of looked at lorraine and said you're great for my voice like for what i I want to convey with my sketches.Yeah. I mean, he had two. He had John on the male side, and he had Lorraine on the female side.And you really saw it with Lorraine early in the first season, really, with this flight attendant sketch where he calls, it's Michael O'Donoghue calls an airline, and you just hear his voice,and he's threatening her and harassing her with some really horrible Michael O'Donoghue type stuff.And Lorraine is excellent because she just stands there with a smile on her face and it's just like, okay, thanks for choosing the whatever airline.[31:55] And it's just the way that she can, again, not be the driving comedic force behind a sketch, but add an element to it that's just like, oh, this works because of her.And Michael O'Donohue then leaned into that really for the rest of their time working together.[32:14] Man, if you're an SNL cast member, if you have a bond like that with a writer, it can go a long way.So I'm glad O'Donoghue saw something in her that was obviously very apparent.There's a couple of comparisons that I was thinking of when I was kind of going back and watching sketches and thinking about Lorraine's career.And relatively, I wanted to make them recent because... Because people will know who we're talking about? Right.Good call. Just to kind of make like recent parallels, kind of put Lorraine in context a little bit.I'm sure most of our listeners weren't around I wasn't around back then but uh just kind of put it in context for some people so one guy one person who I thought of um was BobbyMoynihan I think Lorraine in a lot of ways was like a Bobby Moynihan Bobby was sometimes maybe more.[32:57] Front and center but he excelled in filling in a lot of the gaps and made the most of side characters like when Bobby would come on as a side character even if it was just like a panto Bobby to say this three second line to move the sketch forward I think he really excelled at doing something that specific and there's a reason like Bobby actually cites LorraineNewman as a comedic inspiration and one of his.[33:22] Favorite SNL cast members and I could kind of see that like what do you think of her in terms of like a Bobby Moynihan type for but for the original cast I think it's a hardcomparison only because when you think of Bobby Moynihan you're gonna think of of like some standout characters that you see all the time and it's because of what the show was whenhe was on yeah where when she was on you weren't trying to like make a name for yourself to do whatever um this is my grumpy old man speech but no i i hear what you're saying yeslike bobby moynihan is a good example like somebody who you it's utility like we said phil hartman you know bobby like put him in when you need somebody who you know can deliverdeliver what about i i agree with what brad just said i think bobby moynihan's a little flashier than lorraine was so when they panned him to deliver that line he's a little not as subtle aslorraine i think yeah i was thinking someone like chris parnell who could help carry a sketch but wasn't necessarily like front and center he was there to work with will farrell to drive asketch something like that yeah rachel yeah i could rachel direct that as as well that's a maybe a rachel dratch although rachel had did have like debbie downer oh yeah that's like that but ithink like the overall i mean these aren't gonna be like one-to-one.[34:40] Comparisons but i could see the rachel dratch thing as well one current cast member who i think in a different snl time i think lorraine could have been kind of like a heidi gardnertype in a different s oh that's a good call yeah if they had put more emphasis when lorraine was on the the show on weekend update because heidi really excels in my opinion on weekendupdate, And if they had put this kind of emphasis that they have probably for the last, gosh, 30 years now on Weekend Update, if they would have put this kind of emphasis when Lorrainewas on the show, I think she could have really carved out a space on Weekend Update.But that's not what it was for. It was for Emily Latilla, sometimes John, but there was less emphasis on update pieces.But I could have seen Lorraine really excel at that.Well, and Lorraine herself has admitted she didn't want to do that.She didn't want to do recurring characters. She didn't want to lean into that as much as the show may have wanted to.So some of it, as far as like her legacy or people remembering her, might have been a little bit self-inflicted because she was holding to her guns and not wanting to do those kind of things.Where like Gilda wanted to throw Emily Latilla out as much as she could.John couldn't get on camera enough.[35:56] And Lorraine's like, no, no, no, it's not what I want to do. too she was subtle i mean one of lorraine's recurring characters was lorraine newman the reporter right who we would youknow oh yeah and chevy would throw to and and even that character was not an over-the-top character she was just you know she would throw on this reporter voice and do these live hitsand you know it didn't always work but it was like a subtle character, And she really was the first update correspondent like that you'd go to time and time again.It was it was a cutaway, but they were figuring it out. Remember, again, there was no blueprint.So they're figuring it out. And she was the first correspondent for Weekend Update.[36:44] Yeah, that's true. She played it like a news lady, like a reporter.She had that affectation, exaggerated affectation.But yeah, I think there was a kernel there.I'm imagining Lorraine in a different time that would have been so fun to see.Before I switch gears a little bit, because I am going to switch gears just a little, do you guys have anything else, any point about Lorraine or anything on your mind in regards to Lorraine?I think if Lorraine was not in the first five seasons and next to Gilda for her entire SNL career, she would be held in a much higher regard than I think she is because she's just in theshadow of Gilda Radner.And I think she is, going back and re-watching all of these old episodes, you really see how wonderfully talented not only Jane Curtin is, because Jane is great, but so is Lorraine.And in a different time period, she would have excelled and could have been a star on her own. Yeah, I mean, I agree.And I mean, there's a list, again, of sketches and iconic bits that you remember from the show that she's involved in. We mentioned Basimatic.[38:08] We mentioned Coneheads. E.Buzz Miller art classics. Classic Dan Aykroyd sketch. Who's his sidekick?[38:15] Lorraine Newman as Christy Christina Olympia Diner everybody knows it cheeseburger cheeseburger cheeseburger ensemble piece she plays Sandy the Waitress in all of those.[38:25] Theodoric Barbara of York one of the best sketches of all time from season 3 she's in it as Jane's daughter Uncle Roy, Whatever you feel of it, it's an iconic sketch from back in theday.It's her and Gild

't they maybe felt like they didn't have to carry the entire thing they had a host who was more thancapable so yeah so he's won a lot of writers like we've mentioned O'Donohue quite a few times I'm halfway surprised about Franken and Davis I'm shocked about Franken and Davisreally because they had a presence not just in the first few seasons but then they came back later so they They were around in the late 80s, early 90s, and then Franken was even on theshow for quite a while.So them not getting in is surprising because the writers, and especially like seasons, I guess the end of season two and then season three, really, they carry more weight in the show. Right,Brad?They really come in. Yeah, season three, they start to come up as O'Donoghue starts to go down.So three, four, five is really that Franken-Davis era.I mean, Al Franken almost took over the show when Lorne left.If it wasn't for limo for lame-o.Yeah, he sabotaged himself. He sabotaged himself.He would have been, he would have taken over. Who knows what would have happened. Yeah.Yeah, those two surprised me, especially given, yeah, Al Franken has the name recognition of the two.I'm going to tell you, the writer that surprises me the most as a fan, I can't believe Jack Handy's not in.[45:10] Like, it's not even the era we quote unquote cover. but I and I think it's just because people don't know the stuff Jack Candy actually wrote unless you're like us and you really divedeep as a casual fan you don't realize the the sketches he wrote and the impact he had but how Jack Handy is not in blows my mind yeah probably my favorite writer of all time JackHandy I mean he he has a whole segment with his name on it right so he has some recognition even though I've told people when I was younger I thought that was a fake name name.It does sound vaguely dirty, honestly.[45:43] So when I was a kid, I was like, oh, that's just a fake. I didn't even register that that was a real person.I thought that was, I actually thought that was Al Franken writing those under like a pen name or something. Yeah.I think I did too when I was a kid back in the day. Yeah. Yeah. That's funny.He was responsible for some iconic sketches in that period with like, you know, late eighties through much of the nineties. And then, yeah.I mean, Herb Sargent, I believe the man has a WGA award named after him. Right. That he does.Okay. I mean, the guys, I feel like you've got, you've got, you've got Lauren, you've got Jim Downey.And then I think like Higgins is probably up there as far as people impact impact on the show and herb sergeant i mean herb sergeant has to be in there of what he's.[46:31] Contributed to the show and the legacy he left of what he's done on that show yeah herb was like the adult in the room that they needed literally yeah he was very much the adult inthe room he had been in tv for decades decades before that yeah he was much older than everybody else but he he was that steady hand he he was the guy that they would go to for forknowing how to do TV things, for wisdom.He and Chevy created Weekend Update, right? Herb and Chevy.I mean, Weekend Update, gosh, of course, obviously it exists now.You have somebody like Herb Sargent who was kind of a co-creator of such an iconic institution in Weekend Update.[47:14] And to that institution, many people think Norm MacDonald is their, or not think, but believe, they like norm mcdonald is their favorite weekend update host who was doingweekend update with with uh norm mcdonald sir yeah yeah herb was there yeah he was there through like it's like you know what i mean he was there from chevy and he was therethrough norm mcdonald yep yeah absolutely he's yeah he's won we we've advocated for rosie schuster yeah dick ebersol dick ebersol to me is like and it's hard to because we havecategories here at the eskimo no hall of fame so it's like he doesn't he fits in the technically the producer category but i think i want to urge people to go back and listen to our dick ebersoleepisode was me and darryl dove and darryl made a really great case uh laying out ebersole's career and his impact on snl he co-created the show he and lauren yeah yeah and i think hegets the a bad rap for some of the the later some of the way things played out later with him and SNL.But really like the creation of the show, he was huge.He was fundamental in the beginning of the show.[48:25] Well, I remember on the roundtable again last season, I was like, I have my last vote I'm throwing in.And I was like, it's a bullshit thing, but I need the voice to be heard.And I was like, Dick Ebersole, I have to bring up Dick Ebersole.I have to talk about him. And then everybody else was like, no, no, no. Yes, we all agree.Dick Ebersole needs to get in. I thought no one else but me wanted to push him to be in.And everybody on that roundtable wanted him in.Oh no i'm a huge advocate for dick ebersole for sure and he he swooped in because jean dumanian she gets a lot of crap um she took over for lauren she just probably wasn't the right fitnow that just wasn't her that wasn't her strong suit was to actually lead the show like that so dick ebersole uh did a great job of kind of picking up some of the pieces i think they did twoepisodes at the end of season six and he's like all right we're gonna regroup retool ebersole with Lorne's blessing, by the way.He didn't just go, he talked to Lorne and got Lorne's blessing to go produce the show.He and Lorne, contrary to popular belief, even my belief, he and Lorne were friends and probably still are friends and they go way back, obviously.[49:30] But Dick Ebersole was so instrumental in not only creating SNL in the early days, but retooling SNL to give it the lifespan span that it has he's definitely someone that deserves tobe there and then you got people like candy bergen uh um a host from the early season uh who put in some classic episodes is she responsible not responsible but was she the host for idon't know if you have thought about the best episode you've covered so far but her her second episode maybe i think in season one one One of her Christmas episodes has to be up there.It's season two. Season two. Season two. Okay. Because her Christmas episode for season one, not very good. Not good. Okay.But her first episode for season one is the one that many people consider where SNL really got its foot.It's where Chevy did, I think, right forward for the first time.Or I'm Chevy Chase and you're not.[50:26] And it really started coalescing, so a lot of people give that one credit.But her Christmas episode for season two, I think, is probably, unless Buck pulls it off at the end, is our favorite episode of season two.It is an amazingly great episode.And she did some unique things, too, with the show.She did interviews with some not comedic people, some real-life people who are doing important things, and she brought them onto the show to talk to them, to advocate for things likeequal rights for women and acknowledgement of the elderly.I forget what that association is called. But she had the trust of Lorne to do these segments where she talked to real people to move things forward.And I think that was huge. And it was very different than any other host at the time.Go back and watch Candice Bergens. It's from season two, the Christmas episode.Frank Zappa was the musical guest. Yeah. Just classic.Great guest. sketch classic sketch after classic sketch to me it's still uh almost 50 years later one of the great episodes of all time yeah and that's the history yeah just i'm glad i have youguys on because i feel like there needs to be some advocating done um on behalf of of of some of the the older gay days so i'm really happy to have you guys on to to do some of thatwork.[51:48] Thomas i know you're a huge sports fan and gary is as well so let me like make this analogy and you guys can speak to it better than I can, but so like cast members, right?[51:58] How, and there are amazing cast members still nominated both this year as new members and on the ballot from before, Maya Rudolph, Kate McKinnon, Will Forte, Vanessa Bayer.How do those people get in the Hall of Fame and Lorraine Newman is not?Okay, you go to hosts, Justin Timberlake, Emma Stone, Melissa McCarthy, all great hosts.How do they get in the hall of fame and say a buck henry and a candace bergen are not yeah you go to writers paula pell who's an adam mckay newer writers that people know and love iget it they are very great i love them as well but how do you put them in without a michael o'donohue without a herb sergeant without a franken and davis you know what i mean i youknow how do you equate that to To a sports analogy, we're like, you need these founding people in before the younger folk get in.Yeah. No, you need, of course you needed like Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays and all those people.They set the foundation for, I mean, this year, like Adrian Beltre, Albert Pujols is going to get in at some point.But those guys set the foundation for all the sluggers that we see now.I mean, you're absolutely right. Right. I think, Gary, do you think it's just lack of name recognition or just like they've been lost throughout history?[53:24] I think, you know, I think the writers, it's definitely lack of name recognition.And I mean, we're talking about someone like Buck Henry who, you know, outside of SNL, how much do we know of Buck Henry?I mean, we know now what he did. Right. He wrote The Graduate, all these things.But again, it's that name recognition. I don't think people now think of Candice Bergen as a host, really, even though she was the first female five-timer. Yeah.I mean, she's very important in the history of the show.And Buck definitely is. But I think they just don't have that name recognition of today.Day and with the writers you have someone like i love conan o'brien i think he's excellent he's an excellent writer but he has talked about how you know jack handy is his favo

Curator of the Hall, jamie Dube. 0:00:41 - Speaker 2Hi everyone, welcome to the Saturday Night Live Hall of Fame. I am your guest host for this roundtable, matt Ardill, and it is my pleasure to be hosting an amazing panel of former guests who are going to share their votes for this season's set of candidates going to the Saturday Night Live Hall of Fame. So what we'll do is we'll go around and we'll have everybody introduce themselves. Brad, if you want to start. 0:01:12 - Speaker 3Hi, i'm Brad Robinson from the Not Ready for Primetime podcast. Happy to be here, dave. 0:01:19 - Speaker 4I'm Dave Buckman. I own Coldtown Theater in Austin, texas. I'm a second city alum, boom, chicago alum and general podcast panelist for Saturday Night Live related podcasts. 0:01:33 - Speaker 5It's Dave and Will. Yes, hi, I'm Will Norman and I'm just also an SNL enthusiast and podcast guest here on the Hall of Fame Network. I've been on the Was Only Beyonce episode. I'm just excited to talk with all of you today about this season's nominees. Thanks for having me. 0:01:48 - Speaker 2Great, and what are we all expecting tonight, like? what kind of result, what kind of conversation? I mean, i know I'm spending a fun time, i think it's going to be an interesting combination of opinions here, but what are you all expecting for tonight? 0:02:05 - Speaker 4I'm expecting to have my mind changed on a couple of people. I have more than 15 on my ballot, so I need to be talked off the ledge for a couple of weeks. 0:02:18 - Speaker 3I'm interested to see where the conversation goes old versus new. My ballot's fairly full and it's fairly full with returning nominees and older nominees, so I'm excited to see if I can convince some people to keep these old timers on the ballot. 0:02:36 - Speaker 5I'm expecting an all out blood bath tonight. I guess I might be. Maybe that won't be the case, maybe not be the case, but I'm on the opposite of Dave, where I used about 13 of my votes. I'm still kind of on the. I guess I'm kind of on that border with a few of them and actually just want to have a conversation to see who I might be overlooking and who some of those votes might go to. with returning nominees and first ballot people, i'm excited to see where the conversation goes today. 0:03:03 - Speaker 2So we'll use 13. What made you land at that number? Why did you hold back a couple? 0:03:12 - Speaker 5So I ended up leaving my ballot at 13 because there's a lot of other candidates that were first ballot or returning nominees that I feel like I needed a little bit more time and was actually hoping to get some conversation with the panelists here today to just kind of see where I may have overlooked someone besides, just kind of speaking to my own biases, to see if I could be educated on some people that I might have overlooked that deserve to be in those final two spots. 0:03:35 - Speaker 2Awesome, Dave. how many votes did you use and what was your logic? 0:03:41 - Speaker 4I used all 17. Even though we're only allowed to have 15. 0:03:47 - Speaker 2So could it be some editing on the fly kind of thing going on, Yeah? 0:03:50 - Speaker 4I'm going to have to really I'm going to need Will and Brad to kind of like tell me why somebody doesn't deserve to be on there, because I mean I could have honestly, i could have picked 25 out of these 30. It was very, very hard to get to where I am now and I'm looking at it. I just don't mean how do I, how? the people I have on my bubble are just legendary. So how do you, how do you cut them from that ballot? I don't even know how to like rank them if I was going to. So that's where I'm at. 0:04:22 - Speaker 2And. 0:04:22 - Speaker 3Brad, i'm a bit more like Will. I've got 14 selections. 11 of them are pretty solid. I've got actually 12 because one of them is the musical guest my one musical guest vote. So I've got a couple that I'm on the fence to hear about, and I left an empty spot to see if, you know, someone can convince me. 0:04:40 - Speaker 2I like you, brad, chose 14. I have one where I'm like, oh, like this, last time I did this I filled all 15. Then afterwards I was like, oh, you know, that was a really strong case, but I cast my vote and I'm going to have to stand by it And I'm going to be the one to let somebody convince me at the end of how I'm going to vote. So it makes it for an interesting conversation. Create some stakes when we're doing that Terrific. Okay, well, what we'll do again. Like well, i'll just start working my way around the, around the ring here, and why don't we just start naming off our, our picks? So, brad, do you want to start us off? 0:05:23 - Speaker 3My number one pick is John Belushi Easy pick. If you've heard our podcast, i'm a huge John Belushi fan, saturday Night Live and otherwise and he's hands down my number one pick between iconic characters, great impressions, legendary sketches, does it all, plays himself And you know, in addition to Dan, the first cast members to ever be featured on the show in another role while they were cast members, when him and Dan were musical guests as well, they were the first cast members to actually be shown, showcased in another light as well. So John Belushi is my number one. 0:06:02 - Speaker 2I watched a lot of those very early episodes at an entirely inappropriate age. So you know, i got to know his work really young and he made me laugh then and he still makes me laugh now. I mean, i think I rewatched just recently the Star Trek sketch And it's just that the impersonation that he does of Shatner is hilarious And it's just like it. Just it shows a range that a lot of people especially now as there's been distance from his work people don't credit it with, like they think Animal House and this loud ruckus character. But he had a lot more to him And, yeah, i can totally understand that. 0:06:44 - Speaker 3Yeah, he has a lot more to him, especially in season one. You know he does his Shatner impression. He's got his Marlon Brando impression, the Joe Cocker impression that he does in episode three. I still will put up against anything that's been done in the last 50 years on that show And even stuff you forget, like we've been going back, we've been watching the old Land Shark sketches and he does a Richard Dreyfuss impression which is amazingly great. It's surprisingly good. I don't even remember it, it's so good. So it's even the small stuff. And then, before he gets big, that season one is great watching John because he plays very childish and like impish sort of scenes where, like by season three, that's all gone because he is, he's full blown Belushi by that point. So it's it's. He definitely has a range And if you've watched from the beginning through, you see that whole arc. 0:07:28 - Speaker 5Any other 70 thoughts on Belushi, belushi was near the top of my list as well. I mean, i think it's impossible to tell the story of SNL without mentioning Belushi and his contributions, so obviously taken away too soon. 0:07:42 - Speaker 4I did not put Belushi on my ballot. Maybe in future ballots, perhaps when he stacked up against fourth or fifth rounders, but Belushi never hit me Well. I love little chocolate donuts, i love the Blues Brothers, i love the Marlon Brando impression, i love the Joe Cocker impression, but I don't think that he was much of a team player. I think he was very much about Belushi and Belushi's goals for the show And a lot of his humor hit me is very angry and aggressive rather than funny, and I just that's not my kind of humor. I feel the same way about Michael Adonahue. It just it's not. It was funny, i think, to me when I was 12 or 13, but I think I've grown. I've grown out of that style of humor And I also love Animal House and I love all of his movies too. But when stacked up against some of these other folks, i think their contributions to the genre of Saturday Night Live there's better contributions out there. 0:08:47 - Speaker 3I'll try to argue him in this a little bit. I hear what you're saying with his comedy coming from anger and I do agree it definitely gets there. But if you look at the early seasons, one and two especially, i don't think he's gotten there yet. You know, the Joe Cocker, the Marlon Brando impression is amazing. The Star Trek scene both of the elite cool, are great. His Beethoven impression, the Richard Dreyfus that I mentioned, little chocolate donuts There's so much stuff he does the samurai character that lead up to him getting to that point. I think once he becomes what we've come to know as John Belushi, i agree with you a bit that it does get a bit edgy. Edgy's the wrong word. It does get a bit angry. It does come from that place and it's not as genuinely funny. But to Will's point, i don't know how you talk about Saturday Night Live without John Belushi, without seeing him in the B outfit, without seeing him in the samurai, without seeing him behind the counter of Olympia restaurant, not being Jake Blues, him and Akaroid together final days sketch. there's just so much of those first four years that if you don't have John Belushi I don't know what happens. Season one's all about Chevy. Chevy leaves and Bill Murray didn't jump right out of the gate as blowing the doors off the place, and John really helped keep that together until Bill found his voice. I mean not just John alone, john and Dan and all of them, but John Belushi is a key, key factor as to how we made it from the Chevy Chase era to the Bill Murray era and that show exploding into the zeitgeist of comedy. 0:10:15 - Speaker 2It's a strong argument. It's an interesting case. This is the fun of the round table We get to hear the different points and counter points. So, dave, do you want to share your first pick? 0:10:30 - Speaker 4My first pick is Bill Murray. Bill Murray is, for me, the consummate sketch performer. He basically owned Season 4 and 5. He's come back to host so many times and kind of just lift the crowd and the cast and the show with him every time he comes back. His contributions, beyond his four years in the show you know he set a tone for the kind of cast member A he's the first new hire you know, for all its purposes the first feature performer And just the kind of person that's in every sketch. you know, setting that archetype of like that Phil Hartman, that Bill Murray, will Ferrell, somebody who's just going to consistently get in there every single sketch and destroy and even make bad scenes better just by being in them. And his characters are just so many, so many to mention. you know, from the nerd sketch to Nick the Louncing singer, to his time on the Weekend Update desk doing Oscar picks. There's just so many iconic things that you can point back to Bill Murray which would absolutely be in the Hall of Fame. 0:11:42 - Speaker 2Anybody else? vote for Bill Murray. 0:11:46 - Speaker 3He's my number two. I can't argue with anything. Dave said He's my number two pick Again. I mentioned it before like he had a rough coming in after Chevy. You know Chevy left and he didn't jump right into the spotlight so it took him time. He took the reins and he ran with it and you know he didn't really have that many impressions but didn't need to. Like Dave said, his sketches are great. His characters are great. He held down Weekend Update. There's a lot of anger behind Bill Murray. I'm just going to say He's got that drive in him a little bit as well. Just to relay my John Belushi point. But no Bill. 0:12:15 - Speaker 4Murray. But no, dave, i mean again, but he's impish, he's got like. 0:12:19 - Speaker 3He plays it off much better He does. 0:12:21 - Speaker 4But no, I add him right there. 0:12:22 - Speaker 3Number two with Dave. Same thing You can't talk SNL without Bill Murray, Will any thoughts? 0:12:27 - Speaker 5Yeah. So I think I'm probably going to hop into Dave's camp here and say that Bill Murray is not on my Hall of Fame ballot, so yeah, so I'll explain. I still have two spots left, so it's not definitive. But the reason why is so? I will start by saying that Groundhog Day is one of my favorite movies of all time. I love Bill Murray, but I was worried that I was fading a lot of my feelings about Bill Murray, his post-SNL career versus Jesse down the show. Obviously, most respect to Nick the lounge singer, his work on the update. Also now that one point time he had the obviously innovative for the time, his plea to the viewers and kind of saying hey, i'm new on the show, i don't know if it's actually really working, like, can you guys like write in and, you know, give me some support. And I think kind of even in that, even though it's obviously very innovative, just the fact that he was kind of in that spot, i think about it as a Hall of Fame or someone who is just to me like, are they Hall of Fame or not? I think he was obviously great on the show at the time, but just wondering if I was shading him a little bit too much with my fandom of him post-show, but I think it has made some very compelling arguments. Like I said that early not the one to John Belushi, but, like I said, there's still some wiggle room. So maybe I've overlooked Bill. But just to make it on my first cut of the first view. 0:13:38 - Speaker 2I'll admit, he's not on my list either. Now. I mean, i know, i know, but I love Ghostbusters, i love Grand Hog Day, i love his work in the show, I love his work after the show. But again, it was like it was one of those things where I'm like am I letting this, like the these things that I loved as a kid outside of the show, shade my opinion there? But also I'm like I was trying to balance it out where I'm like not choosing all of these big names and choosing like, just choosing different people And it's like, but, but I have one, i have one, so he's definitely. You know, dave and Brad made good points. When I come to the end, i don't know He's, he's, he's in there. He's in there as, like my baby. Now, will, who did you? who's your first pick? 0:14:29 - Speaker 5So my first pick at the top of my list was Dana Carvey. So for me Dana Carvey, master impressionist, obviously had some iconic characters. He did obviously a great push, a Bush impression. I think most people who impersonate George W Bush are doing an impersonation of Dana Carvey doing Bush. You got Church Lady. I obviously have Garth from Wayne's World, garth Algarso. He has an iconic character on the show as well. That went on to other things And I just think when you think about the, when you think about some of the all timers, we look at the cast members that we love for the Hall of Fame. They are people who can do it all that can carry a sketch, that can do impressions, that can do characters, original characters that get along with the cast, that have things that outlast their time on the show. And I think we don't be looking at the Hall of Fame. You know it's easy to kind of. We just talked about a shading things with, like someone's post career Versus what they did on the show, but we're ice-litting just to someone's timeline. Snl I don't think that there's a time in the future of SNL's existence that someone couldn't mention Wayne's World and Wouldn't be. You know, no Notable as an else. A sketch isn't that special. You know Bush impressions like I'm no data Carby so I'm not gonna do those impressions, but I think it's. It's very hard to say he's not probably one of the best cast members ever come through and During his time in the show and I think he just made it a great impression and so he was no top of my list. 0:15:57 - Speaker 2Anybody else vote for Dana. 0:16:00 - Speaker 4Dana's at the bottom of my bubble. He's somebody that I'm like, i want to put on that list because how him, how He's like the perfect cast member. It's just somebody who's always gonna have fun and be likeable and Come up and come in with characters every weekend, week out. I think a lot of his material doesn't hold up so much. Some of the writings just feels weaker compared to modern-day sketch comedy writing. But he can't deny his level of Talent and just like he was just built for that, for that show. But I I don't know if I don't know if Wally of going back and watching his stuff holds up against some of the other folks On this list. 0:16:49 - Speaker 2Brad, do you? 0:16:49 - Speaker 3have any thoughts. I've got him at number three On my ballot. He is probably, pound for pound, i think, one of the best performers the show's ever had. As will said impressions. I don't know if there's one he can't do bush, our Johnny Carson, car, senio, characters, church at Hans and Franz waning garth. So I mean, right right there, his resume is amazing. He's one of the first guys who would take a cold open and sit by himself in front of the camera for seven minutes and open the show by himself. And I like to look at it at you, look at each era of Saturday night live and where they stood in that era. So you got to remember Dana Carvey showed up Lawrence second year When he came back after his return and the show was not in a good place and that cast is really the reason that that SNL Exists today is guys like Dana Carvey, mike Myers, dennis Miller, john Lovett's, jan Hooks, nor done that cast pulled it Through and Dana Carvey, right off the gate with like chopping broccoli and church chat in the first four or five episodes of That season is just vital for not only that season But the next four or five, six years that he was on that show keeping Sarah night and I have relevant funny hip and Continuing he's on my list as well, just for that. 0:18:03 - Speaker 2I mean, to be fair, that's also like my high school era SNL. So I mean I feel like that. That always kind of burns itself into your, your emotional psyche. So like him and Mike Myers and all of that crew From that era, or just really emotionally important to me, but also like, just like even his little stupid stuff, like the chopping broccoli sketch. It's just such a silly little premise but he Pulls it off in a way that it never becomes stupid, never becomes like okay, we get it. He says I'm chopping broccoli over and over again, let's move on, it just remains fresh. He knows how to keep the, the, the tightness, that's the tension, just right, and And he I found he brought that to like everything. So he is on my list as well. Awesome choice, awesome choice. I am just gonna go by alphabetical order because I can't wait These people. It's so too difficult that that's a level of emotional investment I'm not ready to to give. But I'm gonna start with Amy polar. She is, she is on my list. She's just such a like Dana Carvey, like a workhorse. She would show up for a sketch. She would give it her all. You know it's, it's, it's that massachusetts upbringing kind of thing, like where she she just Fights and goes, and I mean you can see it in like her entire career with like UCB and and all of these other projects that she's. She's lifted from the ground up. When she attacked a sketch She really put all of her energy into it. And I mean like, yeah, these great characters like Betty Caruso, where it's just like she has a way of grounding, even her silly characters, where, you know, bronx beat is just such a silly concept But it never veers into the realm of like coffee talk with Mike Myers when he did coffee talk, where it's just like, okay, this is just a little bit too silly, especially now that Barbara Streisand this showed up. It's just, it just remains true to the premise and Yeah, so that that was my first vote anybody else I agree. 0:20:23 - Speaker 4I mean Amy's on my ballot as well. I think there's Some power. She is just a dynamo, a force to be reckoned with. You know, caitlyn's one of my all-time favorite characters and her stint on we can update is Exemplary. Paired with Seth and with Tina, she had a rough couple first episodes but then just Dominated we can update for many years. I love her characters, i love her energy. I love her Just her general energy and attitude towards comedy and lifting other people up through positivity. And And Bronx beat again also one of my all-time favorites. So Amy Poehler for sure belongs to be the whole thing. 0:21:07 - Speaker 5Yeah, i would. I would agree. She was, like I said, probably I guess number two or so on my list. They said also just an all-time cast member in that like lineage of You know, kristen Wiig and just kind of that dynamo, like that's there throughout the time at the time on the show and They said she has some great characters. Or Sir Hillary Clinton is like the original, like I said, she's just very dependable. There's just those cast members that show up in a sketchy note. It's gonna be good, they're gonna get, but they're all and I just feel like she was one of them And just to me like a no questions asked, first ballahalla famer. 0:21:39 - Speaker 3I do not have her on my ballot, i do not think she's the first time ballot Hall of Famer, but Uh, you guys talk a lot in the podcast. What's a recency bias? I'm probably. Whatever the opposite of that is. So I don't. I don't think I have anybody on my ballot as a first-time nominee. That is Post 1990 something. I think she'll get in eventually, but I there's a lot of other people I think are more deserving to get in, whose time's running out almost. So I didn't vote for Amy Poehler Cuz. I think she'll get in eventually, but I don't think she's first-timer for me. 0:22:11 - Speaker 2Why don't we switch directions will? do you want to share your next choice there? 0:22:17 - Speaker 5Yeah, sure. So I would say next is another first ballot Hall of Famer, but I think has a pretty long tenure. Be mr Christopher walkin Was one of my taught, near top of my list. I think that we look at all the All-time hosts on the show, i think walkin's definitely up there. Obviously it's hosted a lot over his time in his tenure. He has had some notable characters and some great sketches. Is the continental I think I was obviously great sketch his Colonel Angus sketch still makes me laugh and then Tribial, psychic, you know, i think, just the hilarious premise that he just executes to perfection. So it's just. I feel like walking is one of those guys who came on and obviously he was very Easy along the cast and talk about being a team player. When I'm thinking about hosts, people that have been on the show, that are in that, that world, it's You know how able, how are you able to enter like, be within the cast, not just kind of on the outskirts let them do their thing, but really ingratiate yourself to the cat, have your own memorable sketches and and have almost recurring thing, have recurring sketches that Make me think if it weren't for your life outside of ethanol, you could have easily been a cat member, and that's kind of tough to give a host, and not over the cat's members that are there grinding it out every week, over every week but he just feels like someone who once again is is up, up to nominate. I think he's just been a great, great host and I thought that he deserves to get into the whole thing. 0:23:40 - Speaker 2Anybody else vote for Christopher walk. 0:23:43 - Speaker 4He's on my bubble. I don't haven't cut him yet, i know, certainly participating in cowbell and the centaur sketch and sense of sketch and Continental and yeah, all those, just wonderful, just being game for anything. And just I was listening to a couple of his Scenes before the show tonight and just his two handers, which is him and somebody else, going back and forth, is just beauty he has. His rhythm is perfect, his deadpan is perfect, he is game for anything and it's, you know, out of all the people that just reads cue cards, i mean, does anybody do it better than Christopher walk in? no, i don't think so. I think he's one of the all-time best hosts and I wish they'd, i wish they'd bring him back Just once, just one more time. But yeah, i mean he'll probably be on my ballot. I don't see why he wouldn't be, Because I don't think he's gonna. He would be bumped by anybody else on this list. So, sure, he's on my ballot. I'm gonna call it right now. 0:24:48 - Speaker 3Awesome, awesome, brad. Any thoughts? I do not have him on my ballot. He is a great host. He's a fantastic host. I only have one host Cemented on my ballot to on my bubble, but again, he's one of those people where I think I feel like Maybe not first-time ballot, but I can see him definitely in the future. 0:25:08 - Speaker 2He was on my list. I think the thing that put him over the top I mean it was the, the Christmas carol where he's reading it to the kids It was just like it was so dark and so weird and nobody else could pull that off, except for Christopher walkin. It was just like perfect, i have to feel it's like he's. He's almost like a train foddle man, like song song and dance man Came up like during my trivia I talked about how he was hired to dance with Liza Manelli by her mom at A birthday party. Like it's just like he's such a weird human being on so many levels And it's just, it's like it forged him into this perfect. You know you don't get many of those hosts, but those ones that are just make the perfect fit And that's sort of I feel he fits in well. Next up, dave. Who's next on your list? 0:26:09 - Speaker 4The next person on my list is Jan hooks. Jan hooks, to me, is my just Top, top performer. I think she's my number two favorite cast member of all time. She has Such a grace to her but also a little bit of smarm to her Maybe one of the best actresses to ever be on on the show, actors to ever be on the show. Her commitment to The moment is unparallel. She can play heartbreaking. She can play Goofy. She can play straight. She is Maybe one of the best utility players they've ever had, somebody who can do characters, do normal people and Just take Whatever you've given, whatever you've written for her, to another level of humanity, which is brings a three-dimensional Shape to a sketch that a lot of people can't deliver. So I would watch Jan hooks do anything. Rest in peace. And she's by far my Yes. 0:27:23 - Speaker 3Any other votes, Yes. Oh, slam dunk. She's one of my other like slam dunk picks for this, for this class. She everything Dave said and more. Like I mentioned about Dana Carvey. She was in that that cast that kept it going and she's as vital as he was, if not more. Yeah everything Dave said, jan hooks is amazing. 0:27:43 - Speaker 2I totally agree too, because, like she, like I said, that was my high school cast and she was, she was on my list as well. I mean, like the fact that she played Tina or Tammy, faye Baker and Jessica Hahn, like she did both impersonations of this. Like that's mind-bending And Speaks to the power of makeup. But But yeah, like such an amazing kid, amazing performer, and he thoughts will oh. 0:28:12 - Speaker 5Yeah, so, oh yeah, so for Jan hook, she actually is, she's actually on my bubble, so I think there was another earlier cat somewhere that I went with instead. But like I said, I have all respect for the work that she's done on the show. I think, generally speaking, there's a lot of I'm kind of on the opposite side of Brad, where If there's people that have kind of gone through and have been on the ballot, i kind of in my mind I'm always like is my gut instinct, is this person the hall of fame or not? I'm kind of out of less than the baseball film, of like kind of co and get multiple out back to get in. It's kind of like do I think you're in right away? I definitely think she's on my bubble for this first one, like select those spaces open. But it's couple other people that I that I had a lover, but they're still definitely room for her. I know she was a huge contributor to the show and I'm definitely deserves all respect in the world. 0:28:59 - Speaker 3Brad, your next pick, i'll do a Jane curtain. I've got Jane on my ballot again. Original cast show wouldn't be What it would be without her and I think she is the most underrated cast member in the history of the show. You know my show. We're currently halfway through season one and we have a Bit that has just kind of come up organically, which is how great is Jane? because every episode at some point we talk about how great Jane curtain is. Whether she's playing Somebody's wife or mother or this star of the sea of the sketch, she just does everything. She. You know she didn't have a lot of characters. They came about a little bit later in in her run. But you know she had some impressions. She was the Quinn's essential talk show host. Any time They needed a talk show host for those first five years, jane curtain would do it and she would do it well and she would go toe-to-toe against any host Against blue, she against any kind of knucklehead. They would throw against her in any of those those talk shows. Or you know She held and weekend update. You know she was the first person to Do an editorial on the desk when Chevy was hosting weekend update And then she was the first person to take over form by herself, and then her and Dan, her and Bill, and if you just go back and watch it's, it's, you got another. Use baseball analogies on this. Her batting average is very high. It's very it's very rare Jane curtain Strikes out or has an out, she brings it every time. 0:30:25 - Speaker 2You got any other Jane curtain votes. 0:30:28 - Speaker 5She made on my ballot as well. I think you know we're talking about like Jan and Jane, obviously both great, but that's kind of one of the original. For all the reasons that Brad mentioned, like her being able to hold down that forward and be that Constant through the early stages of the show, i thought that she was great and that she out of my ballot, so she definitely made it on mine as well yours to you, dave. 0:30:48 - Speaker 4Yeah, she's my number three, Jane, before John. For sure Yeah she is. But my favorite cast member of all time is Parnell, and Jane curtain invented that role in the cast. She is the backbone of that cast. She makes The sketches have grounded reality. She's the person we identify with in those scenes. As an audience member she Was finally allowed to flourish in that season five and some of the characters she came out with were fantastic and Wonderful. Underrated actress. I wish. I wish She did not have this feud with mourn or the show, because I would love to see her Lorraine host Once before the 50th. It would be a great show. But when I was growing up, of course, my favorite was acroid when I was a kid watching those old shows. But when I started doing comedy for a living it was Jane. I always go back to Jane. Jane was was doing most of the work in those sketches and I really appreciate her as a comedian. What we don't, we don't really call straight man anymore in in the ground in the woke world of comedy. I'm trying to push forth Absurdo and reason here and set up straight man and And crazy guy. You know, but she is the reason here to be For the ages for sure. 0:32:15 - Speaker 2I think this was our first unanimous vote and she was on my list as well just for all of those reasons and, like You know, like Dave said, bit the backbone. I mean, during those first, those chaotic first few seasons, she was almost like a outside of the context of on the screen she would really help keep that cast together and and grounded just as a cast, but then on the screen She, she kept those scenes just flowing and she's just, you know, criminally underrated by by a lot of people, i feel so. So, yeah, if anybody gets a unanimous vote, that is her make. It makes me very happy. Well, my next pick is my. This is my musical guest, dave Grohl. Just like his, his love of the show is so undeniable, like he's game to do stuff every time he's there and and he's willing to become back and be a part of the show, even to not start, just like as like backup for Tom Petty and and like just just put himself out there as a recurring Supporting musical act. And he's been on like an incredible number of times, so like just crazy number of times for a musical act. So I think it technically puts him in the platinum club, which is because he's been on. I think that many times. I gotta wonder what they get when you get into the platinum club. If they get the look that the fancy blazer When you make it into the five timers, what? what happens there? and I feel sorry for whatever Martin Short has made to do for them. I hope because, he seems to be there either go to Minion at the five-timers club. So yes, anybody else? have any thoughts on Dave? 0:34:04 - Speaker 4Dave's on my bubble. I'm considering just. I think he's on the bubble for a couple reasons. Number one is, yes, he's been there more than any other musical guest, which is something to be applauded and Noted, but I can't think of Performances of his that are iconic outside of Nirvana Performance. I don't. I don't look them crooked vultures, was that one of them? Sure, and they're always great, and I love the food fighters. I love when they come on, i love their songs, but I can't think of one that was just like, oh, when I go back and think about That performance, like some of the great musical performances on that show, none of his really come up for me. So that's why he's On the bubble for me. So, definitely, longevity, definitely. You know, fan of comedy gets the show, always brings it. But as far as actual content, nothing stands out to me as iconic. 0:35:03 - Speaker 2So we'll keep going the same direction and I'll switch, switch around next round. So so will what, what, what do you have next? 0:35:12 - Speaker 5All right. So I think I'll go with some more. I'll be on the recency bias side of things today. I think that's a role I'll play today. So I'm gonna go with someone that's actually coming up again That means in controversial conversations but I'm gonna say Justin Timberlake. I know he's kind of been on the ballot before and kind of steadily climbing, but I'll kind of reiterate what I said before. I just think to me he's just he's one of the best hosts that they've had. I think when you look at it for the time that he was on the show. I know he has been there in a while but similar to early hosts in the early days, like Steve Martin, like appointment television for people to say I'm gonna watch your SNL this evening because Justin Timberlake is gonna be on, or doing double duty I thought that he really brought that level of excitement to the show. Obviously felt like he could have been a cast member on the show. He did recurring sketches. He's talking about Omelaville and all the iterations that came thereafter. Obviously a talented musical artist as well, doing double duties I mentioned before, and I mean Dick in the Box will be around for the rest of time. And I think that when you talk about whether you are in utility or in everything and you're just doing a great job consistently, or you're there and you just have some iconic moments. I think he has a little bit of both And definitely the tensions on him because he's the host. Still a lot of stuff is written around him, but I think people that were on the show at that time, people that he worked with and collaborated with, and say that he felt like someone who could have been on the cast And I just feel like he's someone who, to me, is a Hall of Famer And so that's why I would nominate, or I have Justin on my ballot. 0:36:49 - Speaker 2Anybody else got Justin on there. 0:36:52 - Speaker 4Yes, i do. Justin is definitely. He's the only host I have on my ballot. He is a consummate professional as a host. To not only be a musical guest as well, which I think you would have to be in order to be an iconic Hall of Fame host Not have to be, but it certainly helps And his performances I can think of many of his musical performances as well but to have recurring characters as a host, not with one generation but with two generations. He is the singers with Andy Sandberg, the Andy Gibbs show with Jimmy Fallon. He has his own recurring character, as you mentioned, omletville. That is his own, he's him, he's the constant in that. That is insane, just. I mean Christopher Walken, of course, is in there as well with Continental. That makes sense as well. But I mean I would look forward to any Justin Timberlake show. I'd watch any Justin Timberlake repeat If it comes up on the early version at NBC. I'm sticking around and watching the Justin Timberlake show because I know it's gonna be a great show And he represents to me five-star host experience. So all for Justin Timberlake. 0:38:11 - Speaker 3I don't disagree with what you guys said, but he's not on my ballot, but it's just there. I confined I think 13, 14 more people that I'd rather make sure got in or stayed on the ballots before him. I'm sure enough people will vote for Justin Timberlake that he'll. If he doesn't get in, we'll make it through the next round and I will happily vote him in, probably next class. But as you see, the second half of my list, there's a lot of prevent defense and I'm voting for a lot of people because I don't want them to go away. 0:38:39 - Speaker 2I mean, i love his work And, like Dave said, two generations. he was able to forge relationships and have multiple, not just dick in a box, but we got like mother, lover and three-way. So it's a trilogy of very weird and uncomfortable songs. 0:38:58 - Speaker 4And the dating game. 0:39:00 - Speaker 2Yeah, yeah And yeah, and also the Barry Gibb talk show. I mean, that's one of my is. My wife is a huge Bee Gees fan, so she gets excited when that comes on because she says this is so hot, he was on my bubble, he was on my bubble, so I still have one left. I don't know, maybe it'll be Justin, we'll see. So, dave, your next choice. 0:39:24 - Speaker 4I'm gonna go with Maya Rudolph. Maya Rudolph, to me, is a concert professional. It's her third ballot So, like Brad, i don't want her to go away too soon. So I wanna make sure that I vote for Maya Rudolph because she is a phenomenal cast member and a phenomenal host when she comes back. She has so many talents She plays broad, she plays specific, she does accents, she does celebrity impressions, she has a rhythm that is all her own. She does impressions. She is everything that you would want in a cast member. If I'm a director or producer, i want a Maya Rudolph in my all-time cast because I can throw anything at her and she is going to take it and make it better for sure, and she's gonna bring the house down. The audience is gonna love her And I just think she's phenomenal, phenomenal talent. If I was gonna build my top seven cast members, if I had a dream team, maya would definitely be in that cast. 0:40:32 - Speaker 2Anybody else vote for Maya. 0:40:35 - Speaker 5I did as well. I agree with everything that Dave said. I think that she's an all-timer. I think she's incredibly talented and also on the stacked cast. I think it was a time of the show when the women were really dominating and just obviously doing it really great And I feel like she almost got overlooked at times. So it was amazing. Kind of reminds me of how like Cecily was, I also want to stack cast, but I think she just because she never really had that goodbye when she started kind of building her family and kind of would pop back on the show every once in a while near the end of her tenure. I don't think she got the roses she deserved on her exit, But I just think, you know, once you can look at all the generations of the show and some of the talent's coming through there, I just think that she is amazing and definitely made it to my ballot this time around. 0:41:16 - Speaker 3Did not make it to my ballot, but she's on my bubble for the exact reasons Dave was saying. You know, i think she definitely needs to get in and I'm trying to gauge when I finally do give that vote to get her in, because I don't want her to fall off. But she's on my bubble and she's probably one of the leading candidates to sneak in my last spot or two. 0:41:34 - Speaker 2Yeah, Same here, like she's just such an incredible talent. But again it was like without weighing of choices. That makes it tricky. But again, like the Prince show, like her Beyonce on the Prince show is so hilarious, just paired with the Prince impersonation, it's just they're so bonkers together, her and Fred, and it's just it's a thing of beauty. But again it's like there's so many hard choices. This is a real tough one. Okay, brad, what do you have for us? 0:42:11 - Speaker 3You know, i can go for a twofer if I may, because they're kind of intertwined and I have a feeling they'll both get shot down. I have James Downey and Jack Handy, two longtime amazing writers. So I think a lot of casual fans probably don't even know their names or, if they do, don't know them well enough. Second time ballot for Jack Handy. Third for James Downey. I remember I emailed Jamie after season one when James Downey didn't make it in and I emailed him like how the hell did your voters not put James Downey in the Saturday Night of Hall of Fame? He's such an amazing talent and contributor through multiple generations. So the two of these are writers which you know. I think you guys have talked about this before. Writers are a little bit underrepresented in the hall. These are two votes that would be slam dunked. I would put them in for both of their writing work, for all of the work they've done, all their sketches, all their contributions, all the work they've done with the key cast members you know their names and faces of So many of them have worked with Downey and Handy over the years. 0:43:07 - Speaker 5I also had both of them on my ballot for the same reason Thank you Will thank you. Yeah, i mean, you know, I think you know Jack Handy with deep thoughts, you know I say I think alone, like those are, those are, those are classics. And then with with Downey I think obviously he's been involved a lot of sketches. But I also leaned into the fact there are so many people that have passed through SNL that mentioned him and his influence and his notepad and constantly being one of the best, the greatest joke writers of all time. And you know, as you mentioned, Brad, like writers are kind of in the background, they don't get the recognition that they, that they deserve for being the backbottled body sketches. And both those two just felt like they should get their due and they definitely made on my ballot this round. 0:43:48 - Speaker 4Yeah, i had James Downey for sure, just because of his contributions and the longevity of his tenure there. you know, going from the original cast all the way through Norm MacDonald, you know it was quite an impressive run and being a influence in that writer's room for that many years, i don't know he's. for me he's a slam dunk. Jack Handy was an unfortunate cut. I couldn't. I couldn't get Jack Handy on my ballot. I wanted to and I'd listened. actually I listened to. the Jack Handy episode went back today while I was grocery shopping today and listening to it And as he wrote a lot of things that I hadn't realized he wrote which was good for me to hear. But it occurred to me while I was listening to it how singular his voice was and how he doesn't really have a lasting influence on the future generation. So it feels to me like he was. his contribution was very like this very specific style of humor that didn't really like resonate through the generations. Maybe Wolf Ortea, a little bit kind of picks up where Jack Handy left off, maybe a little Kyle Mooney, just that kind of train of thought. But I don't think that Jack Handy had the staying power of his influence as some of the other folks on this on this list, and as much as I love Tunis and who doesn't love Deep Thoughts, deep Thoughts was already a thing before he got to Saturday Night Live, so that wasn't his Saturday Night Live contribution. That's the thing. he got hired, got him hired at Saturday Night Live and he started contributing that to Saturday Night Live, so I wouldn't really count it as his contribution to Saturday Night Live, as much as it is his signature piece. 0:45:36 - Speaker 2Both really influential writers. It's a strong case that Brad makes, so it should be interesting to see if they make it. My next lip selection is the one that I feel is gonna get shot down Very controversial one Dick Eversall. I mean he was there from the beginning. He helped make the show reality. When Lauren stepped away, he got a lot of flack and people are like, oh, the Eversall years. But really he saved the show. Like he made hiring choices bringing on Eddie Murphy. He kept the show going. Only a lot of people blame. There's the terrible Robert Downey Jr cast era. A lot of people peg that on him and don't realize no, that was Lauren's first year back That was his fault. The fact that he had the brat pack as half the cast is not on him. It's not on Dick. So, yeah, i think, if we've got Lauren in there, i think we should have Dick alongside him as one of the founding producers and creators of that show. 0:46:46 - Speaker 4Dick Eversall is definitely on my ballot. He's my number five on my ballot, just above Justin Timberlake, for all the reasons that you said. And I started watching the show regularly during that era. That was when I came online with Saturday Night Live. So Gary Kroger, mary Gross shows were like what I started watching every week, and so when Lauren came back, i didn't understand who that guy was. That's not true, But I like those shows. I love that. Christopher guest, harry Shearer, martin Shortyear I thought that was such a fun And you know he Dick Eversall, of course was in there for the beginning, but he reinvented the show in the 80s and kind of found a rhythm that we're still following to this day, introducing a lot more taped pieces promoting Eddie Murphy, bringing that, julie Louis-Dreyfus and that whole crew from Chicago as a group from the second city in the 80s, and so I love what he did to the show. I know he even tried to kill the show a couple of times, which is fine. You know you can have some villains in the Hall of Fame. For sure Billy Martin's in the Hall of Fame, right In the baseball Hall of Fame, so for sure Dick Eversall belongs to be in the Hall of Fame for what he contributed to the show before his tenure and during his tenure for sure, i have him on mine too. 0:48:13 - Speaker 3Yeah, definitely. 0:48:15 - Speaker 5Same for all the reasons you listed. 0:48:17 - Speaker 2Awesome, excellent, all right Will. Who do you have for us next? 0:48:22 - Speaker 5I will go with The Lonely Island, why not? I might be on an island with this one, but I'm going to go ahead and nominate them, the reason being the reason why I wanted to have them. Like I know, they've been kind of on and climbing And I think that one of the main reasons he talked about kind of the way, and now obviously sorry as being a live show the fact that they came in and were able to bring the show into the 21st century and be able to have prerecords that were more accepted in the format of the show and be able to, even though it's not live, i mean be able to bring another way to help the variety format of the show be relevant nowadays, especially when you look at how the show is consumed now. A lot of people aren't necessarily watching it live, they're watching it the next day And they were kind of helping it be that they had to have those kind of streaming made for the masses hits. They had a lot of obviously great sketches. They had a lot of great prerecords, like over 100. And I guess we've talked about some of them. I'm on a boat, they can a box, laser cats. There's been so many different iterations that they had, that they're able to own As a writing team too I know Andy was kind of the face of it, but being able to prominently feature writers and into those sketches and be able to bring the host into it, and that's something that even now there's prerecords that are more part of the show every single week, that yes, there were some throughout time They weren't the first people to do a prerecord, but that being a staple of the show every single week and not being something that was kind of frowned upon and like we'll do it every once in a while, i feel like they deserve to have a spot in the Hall of Fame And, like I said, i guess kind of talking on both sides and I'm not glad they're getting close to that point where need to figure out they're going to get in or out, and there's a lot of stories to be told about the beginning of SNL. But I feel like when you look at how the show is now and bringing it to modern, like a more modern era now, and the way things are consumed, i think they deserve to be in for their contributions. 0:50:14 - Speaker 3I agree with you, will. They are still not on my ballot, but I'm pretty confident they would make the Hall of Fame without me voting them in. I'm sure they will get into your point about them wanting to get in. This is their third ballot. If they don't get in this time, i would vote for them for their fourth time Because, as much as I don't want them to get in right away, it would be a sin if it took them till their fifth and final ballot. So they're not on mine. I'm sure they'll get in And if not, they'll be a next time, i'm sure. 0:50:42 - Speaker 4Yeah, I think there's very few people who have changed the game. Not only did William and Eddie Murphy change the game, John Lovett's changed the game, Kristen Wiig changed the game, But very few writers changed the game on SNL Live. And then Lowellin definitely did that And you got to give them props. I think step two your dick in that box might be one of the funniest things that's ever been written in SNL Live Every Christmas. That makes my wife laugh out loud Every Christmas without fail. And if you can make my wife laugh at a dick joke out loud, you've earned your spot in the Hall of Fame. 0:51:21 - Speaker 2They're on my list as well For all of those reasons. I mean, the tree tapes have become either really really weird love is a dream, such a weird concept from that 90s era or just these kind of by the numbers commercial parodies. It was like, ok, what drug parody or car parody or whatever, but they brought it back almost to the Albert Brooks level of just leaning into the really silly, the comedic, and making these pre-tapes vital Again, making them feel not like an afterthought but an important part of the show And also being possibly the best musical parody act aside from weird Alianca Vic, who needs to be on the show. I will say this I will go to my grave fighting for him to be on the show. How is he not being on the show? But yeah, they're just an incredible bunch of writers, incredible talent And, yeah, totally, totally agree. 0:52:29 - Speaker 4I will say not only do they change the game of Saturday Night Live, they change the game of comedy while on Saturday Night Live, which is very hard to do Most people, if they're going to change the face of comedy, they do it after Saturday Night Live. They did it while they were on Saturday Night Live, So that's very commendable. 0:52:48 - Speaker 2Dave, who do you have for us? 0:52:50 - Speaker 4I'm going to go with the last person that's on my definite ballot and out of my bubble And that is Paul Simon as a musical guest. I think from the get-go he was one of the people that really supported the show, brought credibility to the show. I kept coming back to the show He hosted. He's done sketches But as far as a musical guest he has had some iconic musical performances. He's got certainly. Here comes a son with George Harrison. He's got still crazy after all these years in the chicken suit And he's got the boxer after 9-11. I think for those three musical performances alone you'd have to consider him as if we're going. If you have to have one from each category, i don't know how you don't pick Paul Simon on your ballot. He is a friend of the show and just wonderfully fits into the vibe of what the show has been since the very beginning. 0:53:51 - Speaker 2Any other votes for Paul? 0:53:53 - Speaker 3I do not have him on my ballot, But I feel like Paul Simon is a very weird and interesting case because I agree, Like all three of those performances Dave mentioned are great, But he wasn't the musical guest for those, He was the host or the 2000 after 9-11, he was an unannounced guest. Paul Simon's first couple appearances on the show was as a host. Now, granted, he sang a lot, but he was technically the host And so putting him as a musical guest, I don't know, And I feel like there's a very weird and this is kind of to the Dick Ebersole of it all weird fourth realm that could exist in this Hall of Fame, where you're not pigeonholed into a particular thing. And I think someone like Paul Simon really would take that, because I don't think he does it on his hosting status and gigs alone. I don't think he does it on his musical guest status alone or his cameos alone, But when you put them all together, one of the best skits he's been a part of is and he's in line with Jan Hooks, I think it is at the movie theater. And he sees all the people walk by and he remembers them from a concert and they bought an album. And then Arco Funko walks by and he has no idea who he is, but again, so I think if there was a weird fourth hodgepodge category hands down, i would give it to him, but as a musical guest I just, yeah, i left him off. 0:55:16 - Speaker 2Yeah, it feels like there needs to be like special achievement inductees. Just just for something. Yeah, you see, he's all these categories coming together, like you both said. So yeah, that's, jamie, something to consider. 0:55:35 - Speaker 4Like that old white guy that's in the background of like a thousand sketches. Yes, The white hair. You know that guy. 0:55:42 - Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, all right, rad, what do you have for us? 0:55:47 - Speaker 3I'll go with my. Now I'm kind of in my. I've gotten through my slam dunks and my bubble-ish realm. I have one host on my list and it's John Goodman. He's again multi-generations. I mean. What was it? 12, 13 years in a row he was hosting. I think there was one time he hosted with Tom Petty again and the running joke in the monologue that they thought it was the same episode from six years ago. You know as a host would throw himself into the sketches, throw himself into the show, whatever was asked, whatever he needed to do, if he had to dress as Linda Tripp. You know whether you like or dislike how he joined the world of the Blues Brothers what have you but it still says something to who he is and what he means to that show. And I, you know we talk about, as we've said before, you know the era that you grew up watching SNL. That era for me, was a lot of times when John Goodman hosted. So he's a third time nominee of all the hosts I have. I don't wanna see John Goodman go and not get in, so I'm keeping him on my ballot as my host spot. 0:56:51 - Speaker 2Anybody else vote for John, not on my ballot. Yeah, he's on there too, like I don't want him to fall off, but he's. It's that bevy of talent. It's hard to choose. All right, well, my next one is going back to the early years. Elliot Gould, elliot Gould, so, as for hosting, he was just such a fixture during that like 76 to 80 era. He was the first movie star to host, like big name movie star to come on. So it created, you know, like Paul Simon helped create legitimacy, elliot Gould helped create legitimacy for the show and it, you know, it's like Lily Tomlin was the same way, where they almost felt like members of the cast just because of the intimacy during those early years and the recurrence and the relationships they seemed to build with the cast. So, yeah, so Elliot Gould is on my list of hosts to be inducted. 0:57:55 - Speaker 4Not on my list. No, As much as I love his movie roles and him as an actor, didn't really stand out to me as a major host. 0:58:04 - Speaker 3Not on my list as well. I agree with you, know. I think everything you mentioned about Elliot Gould take away the movie star aspect and I think there's a better host candidate from that era that's on my bubble above him. 0:58:18 - Speaker 5Yeah, i also didn't have him on there, not the pile on your map, but I also didn't have him on there. But I mean definitely, like you said, great contrast to the early parts of the show. I just didn't have him on my bubble, but I didn't have him on my final ballot. 0:58:32 - Speaker 2Hey, after the surprising turnaround with Dick Embersall's choice that I totally fair, i will take this. Okay, will, who do you have for us? 0:58:41 - Speaker 5So I'll. next one I'll have it's someone that's actually returning, but next one I'll talk about a cast member is Molly Shannon. So for me I think Molly is another one of those cast members that was that's an all-timer, i think. talking about the energy that she brought, the versatile she had on the show. She was obviously with a stat cast as well as one of the most recognizable characters of all time with Mary-Catherine Gallagher Not, i know, spin-offs don't meet in your movies outside of the show, how successful they are or not, don't count for anything, but obviously recognizable enough to get a shot at it. Sally O'Malley something she had delicious dish on NPR. I mean those are some really classic moments and sketches and classic characters And I like to say that she's coming up on that third ballot. I think she's just one of those great cast member And so she made it on my ballot this time around. 0:59:29 - Speaker 2Got any other votes for her. 0:59:32 - Speaker 3Much like Maya Rudolph, i think she'd get in. She's on my bubble, but I needed to be convinced to put her above a few people. 0:59:39 - Speaker 2Well, i am with you on this one. She is on my ballot And what really put her over the top was her recent hosting gig. Honestly, because it is like watching her perform, it's like she's still so vital, like I would love to have her on the cast now, like it would. Just she's so full of energy and like all of those characters that she brought back, like Sally O'Malley, you know, it's just like they still work. They work now better than ever, and that just speaks to the timelessness and like the heart that she brings to the show. So yeah, so she's got my vote. Dave, who do you have for us? 1:00:22 - Speaker 4Oh boy, i guess my next one. I'll go back to my season one episode and that is Frank and Davis, who I spoke for in season one. They were the first team to be hired predating well, the island or good neighbor or any of these other writing teams hired practical theater company. But they actually, between them, have about they each have 20 seasons on the show, which is unreal. 19 of them were in the same season. They each had one season apart. But the contributions that they made on that show to political discourse, to political comedy, to satire they were the first ones that Lauren just gave like five minutes to do whatever you want on the show. This week They had their own mini episode within Serial Life while the Frank and the Davis show. Some of them are unwatchable, but that also shows a lot of trust, how much trust Lauren had in them and their sensibilities. Oh, frank was such a fantastic senator. But they also created so many iconic characters throughout the years The Coneheads from Tom Davis and the Continental from Tom Davis and Stuart Smalley from Al Franken Just so many things that people don't realize were them. And to also have that kind of influence over the writer's room over the course of the first 20, 25 years of the show is unmistakable. So for that alone, especially on the third ballot, they should be in the hall of fame by now. 1:02:06 - Speaker 3I've got these guys. They're on my bubble and they're on the inside of my bubble, But what I try to figure out is separating Frank and Davis from Al Franken and Tom Davis. You know what I mean. Are you putting Frank and Davis in because Al Franken created Stuart Smalley, Like because Frank and Davis was a unit for a brief period of time? Both of these guys contributed a lot years down the road. But what's the difference between Frank and Davis and two different writers combined together? So I look at it and even doing that, I still look at it as Frank and Davis, the team of Frank and Davis, And I still have them on the bubble for all they've done in those early years and what they did.

Because I know I remember your episode and it was great. 1:03:10 - Speaker 4That's a really good notion. 1:03:11 - Speaker 3And what do you think about that of you know people? it's kind of like the Paul Simon thing again of Frank and Davis as writers, beyond being the team of Frank and Davis. 1:03:19 - Speaker 4Well, i would say it's a really good notion. As far as Paul Simon goes, i'd say that if he's doing a musical number he is a musical guest, whether he's the announced musical guest or not. He is a musical guest in that sense And I don't the fact that they were in the writers' room together to me constitutes a Frank and Davis

Sometimes the career we choose can be very rewarding. However, it can also have lasting effects on us that could change the direction of our lives. We may not fully be aware of the changes that are happening to us as we struggle with some of society's beliefs that we need to have a tough attitude and just suck it up.My guest Brad, was in firefighting for 18 years and during his time as a career firefighter he experienced repeated and untreated exposure to trauma. This exposure led to Brad's diagnosis of PTSD.Brad will openly share with us his amazing story of the depths of his PTSD and his courageous and truly inspiring journey on the path to healing. We don't need to know what or why something is wrong with us to ask for help. It comes from within us.Please have a listen and please share it.

Hang Onto Your Shorts Podcast returned with CJ Cullen and guest host Dennis Cahlo. They were joined by long time actress and author Julia Whelan and filmmaker Brad Robinson. They created the short film "Ghosts of NY" that won best short short at the festival this year.

Featuring: Brad Robinson, LMFT of Marriage Solutions talks about the physical, emotional, and spiritual dangers of unforgiveness. Readings from Sunday, December 20th, 2015.

This week on the RIPEcast, Brad Robinson's set as recorded live from Yuri's Night at the California Academy of Sciences on April 7th, 2011 Being a father of 2 young kids, there are lots of places that I associate with being the go-to “kid friendly” places to visit in the San Francisco Bay Area.  The Academy of Sciences is definitely one of those spots.  As a result, we often miss out on really getting to enjoy the museum as we are chasing out kids past all of the interesting stuff.  So the Thursday night Nightlife event has been an excellent way us to enjoy the museum.  Combining the event with Yuri's Night made for a really fun night with lots of smiling faces.  For my set inside of the museum I stuck to a basic recipe of booty shakin' funky disco house.  Hope you enjoy! www.spacecowboys.org RIPEcast artwork and Podomatic page design by Jem Panufnik.
