Podcast appearances and mentions of Lorne Michaels

Christian Bladt welcomes back to the show David Brody and Fard Muhammad to discuss the recent documentary on Lorne Michaels, the state of SNL after 51 seasons, and the major late night shift at BS.

Irish film director Damian McCarthy had only made two features before 2026's Hokum but has already proven to have a distinctive style and tone.  McCarthy also wrote the screenplay which tells the story of an American writer (Adam Scott) visiting an isolated Irish Inn with a spooky past.  Shot on location in County Cork, Ireland, the film's supporting mostly Irish cast includes Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh, Michael Patric, Will O'Connell, Brendan Conroy, and Austin Aumelio.   Dan and Vicky discuss the film, out in theatres now, and lots of recently seen films like Deep Water, Normal, The Sheep Detectives, Over Your Dead Body, and Lorne, the documentary about Lorne Michaels.

They also talk about the mistakes Bill made reading comedy crowds, Lorne Michaels' philosophy on retirement, the ruthless side of Johnny Carson, whether bad crowds really exist, why people instinctively pick apart compliments, and the enduring wisdom of Marcus Aurelius.

Kareem Rahma built Subway Takes into a hit with 2 million Instagram followers, a metro card as a microphone, and a format that runs in seconds. Now he's walking away from a CNN deal to put his next show Keep the Meter Running on YouTube — because YouTube, in his words, is where the next Bourdain and the next Lena Dunham will come from. In this episode, Joe, Dave, and Aransas dig into what Rahma's bet actually means for experience strategy. The conversation moves from short-form content design, to the death of "Gen Z YouTube" as a useful category, to why every brand needs to rethink where and how it reaches customers in the micro-moments that now define modern media consumption. 100% agree or 100% disagree — you decide. What We're Talking About This Episode Rahma's CNN walk-away. Why he turned down a legacy media deal to own his independence on YouTube, and what that signals about creator economics now. YouTube as television, not social media. YouTube's monthly share of TV watch-time hit ~12% in 2025 per Nielsen — higher than any network or streamer. Rahma's read: "this is a TV screen, but right now no one's making television for it." Subway Takes as situational design. The subway isn't a backdrop. It's the situation. The format, the duration, the point of view, the 100% agree / 100% disagree script — all of it is built around a specific consumer moment. The Lorne Michaels frame. Rahma isn't playing the virality slot machine. He's building a show. A nice change from all of the influencer content out there. Why "Gen Z YouTube" is a lazy frame. Dave pushes back on the article's generational framing. His adult kids watch YouTube over Netflix. So does Aransas. So do millions of others. The situation around the screen has changed. Why This Matters for Experience Strategy Three themes worth pulling out: 1. Content is situational, not channel-based. Dave traces this back to a 2015 Collaboratives conversation with a major media company about designing content for the 30-second, 90-second, two-minute windows that now define daily consumption. A decade later, that conversation is finally mainstream. The companies still organizing around channel rather than situation are the ones being lapped. 2. POV is the differentiator. Rahma's 100% agree / 100% disagree technique forces you to take strong point of view in every interaction. Brands that hedge — that try to be all things to all customers — are getting outpaced by creators who plant a flag. 3. The CNN ticker is the OG infinite scroll. Joe drops a sharp observation mid-episode: 24-hour news already pioneered the segment-plus-chyron structure we now call short-form. The need hasn't changed. The means of meeting it has. Which connects to a Clayton Christensen line Dave only partly agrees with — and to Stone Mantel's view that situations themselves do change, not just the jobs underneath them. Memorable Moments Joe's Transformation Economy book made Thinkers50's top 10 management books of 2026. Aransas on the invisible load of AI: ideas start faster, but humans still have to finish them — and the cognitive load is going up, not down. Dave on what Cargo has done to his wardrobe: black t-shirt to medium gray. Things have changed. The unhoused-person-falling-in-your-lap test for quintessential New York. Joe's Easter Bunny / Cargo joke. You'll know it when you hear it. Quick References The Talk Show Where Celebrities and Mamdani Share Their Hot Takes — Sam Schube, WSJ Magazine, May 12, 2026 Subway Takes — Kareem Rahma's hit short-form show The Transformation Economy by B. Joseph Pine II — recognized by Thinkers50, 2026 Join the Collaboratives Dave's working the phones — it's that time of year.

Emmy award-winning writer Alan Zweibel started out in show business by peddling jokes to Catskills comics at seven bucks a pop, before a chance meeting with Lorne Michaels led to a staff job on the hottest new show on television, “Saturday Night Live.” Alan joined Gilbert and Frank at the George Burns Room at the Friars Club to talk about the earliest days of SNL, co-creating the groundbreaking “It's Garry Shandling's Show” and collaborating with everyone from Gilda Radner to Billy Crystal. Also: Alan heckles Larry David's act, “borrows from” Paul Simon, turns down “Hollywood Squares” and inspires a classic “Seinfeld” episode. PLUS: Totie Fields! Christopher Lee! The subversiveness of “Duck Soup”! Uncle Miltie gets banned! And Gilbert tries (unsuccessfully) to follow The Beatles! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

To help kick off our look back at Season 6 of Saturday Night Live, we talk to one of the cast members from that season—Denny Dillon. In addition to being the very first "new" cast member to say "Live from New York," Denny is also one of the few performers to work with all three Executive Producers of the show—Lorne Michaels, Jean Doumanian, and Dick Ebersol.But Denny's connection to SNL goes back well before that infamous 1980-81 season. She talks about meeting Gilda Radner before the show even premiered and shares her experiences as a special guest on the third ever episode back in 1975. In addition, we discuss her contribution to Anne Beatts' book "Titters" as well as returning to Studio 8H to be on a children's show prior to starring on SNL.Denny recounts the extensive audition process she went through at Saturday Night Live, being selected as the last female cast member (beating out a future Oscar winner), and discusses the highs (and lows) of that difficult season. She recounts the uphill battle everyone faced with both the fans and the press while experiencing the thrill of live television and forming bonds that would last for decades.Denny recounts many highlights from the season including some favorite hosts, musical guests, and sketches. She discusses her tight relationships with fellow cast members, working alongside hosts such as Elliott Gould, Ellen Burstyn, and acting in her favorite sketch of the season with Bill Murray. She also gives a behind-the-scenes look at what things were like when Jean Doumanian left the show and Dick Ebersol (and Michael O'Donoghue) took over.---------------------------------Subscribe & Follow today!And follow us on social media: Twitter: @NR4PTProject Instagram: @nr4ptprojectBluesky: @nr4ptproject.bsky.socialFacebook: The Not Ready for Prime Time ProjectContact Us: Website: https://www.nr4project.comEmail: nr4ptproject@gmail.com

The Platinum Princess is on the Krazy Train. Jasmin St. Claire sits down with adult entertainment Golden Era icon SEKA — the woman who dated Sam Kinison, appeared on Saturday Night Live, ended up at Lorne Michaels' after-party, and walked away from one of the most recognizable careers in adult film history entirely on her own terms. SEKA breaks down entering the industry in the 1970s with no testing and no rulebook, working regularly with John Holmes, starring in Dracula Sucks, and watching the AVN Awards transform from an industry secret into a full-blown institution. She gets into life after the industry, the stigma she faced on talk shows, rockstar encounters, her 2005 return scene, OnlyFans, and exactly what she thinks about where the modern adult entertainment world has gone. She's got a book. She's got a documentary. And she's never told it quite like this. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week Dave touches briefly on the documentary LORNE (3:10), about the "Saturday Night Live" creator Lorne Michaels. Then he and Evan talk about FUZE (4:25), the latest from director David Mackenzie, probably known best for HELL OR HIGH WATER (listen to our take here, with our first co-host Kris Jenson; we covered Mackenzie's RELAY on Patreon a couple months back). In FUZE, a British Army major tries to defuse an undetonated World War II bomb in central London while a group of diamond thieves uses the brouhaha surrounding it as cover for a heist. On this week's Patreon episode, we talk about the 1996 comedy-drama BIG NIGHT.

With Morgan Neville's new documentary about Lorne Michaels now in theaters, his biographer Susan Morrison returns with fresh revelations and perspective on the SNL creator.

Host Johnny Mac interviews Fard Muhammed about late-night TV, starting with Muhammed's multicolor “Carson curtains” backdrop made from wedding-curtain pieces for his planned talk-show-history web series.They discuss viewing habits (Kimmel, Fallon, Colbert), the problem of monologues hitting YouTube early, and ideas for simulcasting or streaming late-night sooner, comparing it to SNL's simultaneous airing. They debate Peacock's delay for SNL UK, assess SNL UK's tone, recent experimental U.S. episodes, and intro-sequence choices, and discuss whether Lorne Michaels should stay. They revisit NBC's 10 p.m. Jay Leno experiment, alternate Conan/Jay scenarios, and defend Fallon's Tonight Show stewardship. Mohammed offers a nuanced view of Leno, argues Letterman deserved the 1992 Tonight Show, and says Conan needed more time. They end on Colbert's ending, alleging external pressures, fearing a domino effect toward syndicated replacements, and noting After Midnight and Taylor Tomlinson's exit as a warning sign. 00:25 Carson Curtain Backdrop04:28 Late Night vs Streaming07:56 SNL UK Release Frustrations10:49 SNL Hosts and Cast Spotlight14:03 Lorne Michaels Succession18:01 Jay Leno 10 PM Experiment21:19 Conan What If Timeline25:22 Fallon Gets Tonight Show28:27 Jay Leno Reputation Debate34:52 Conan Needed Time39:48 Conan Was a Gamble41:32 Colbert Ending Reactions45:25 Future of Late Night48:00 Kimmel is The New King49:15 Gutfeld Ratings Debate51:21 Mulaney Needed a Format53:53 Taylor Tomlinson Butterfly Effect57:41 Colbert Cost Cutting Options60:40 Byron Allen   Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac-a-daily-briefing-on-comedians-and-the-comedy-industry--4522158/support.Daily Comedy News is the number one comedy news podcast, delivering daily coverage of standup comedy, late night television, comedy specials, tours, and the business of comedy.COMEDY SURVIVOR in the facebook group.Contact John at John@thesharkdeck dot com For Uninterrupted Listening, use the Apple Podcast App and click the banner that says Uninterrupted Listening.  $4.99/month John's Substack about media is free.This is the animal sanctuary mentioned in the February 10 episode.

In his new documentary, “Lorne” (in theaters April 17th), director Morgan Neville dives deep into the career of Lorne Michaels who in 1975 created “Saturday Night Live,” and serves as the show's executive producer to this day. The only problem was, a documentary about him was the last thing Lorne Michaels wanted. Morgan talks to me about what it took to get to heart of Lorne Michael's career and persona; how making “Lorne” was a bit like making a nature documentary; where his filmmaking inspiration comes from, and how he gained access to some of Lorne Michaels' most private and sacred spaces.

Nick takes a look back at the notorious Season 26 episode of Saturday Night Live hosted by comedian and talk show host Tom Green. Riding high from his MTV success and his role in Charlie's Angels, Green was invited by Lorne Michaels to host, and he brought his signature chaos with him. The show opens in fairly traditional fashion with a political Cold Open about the 2000 election recount, but things quickly go off the rails when Green brings his fiancée Drew Barrymore on stage and teases a wedding by the end of the night that never happens. From there, it only gets stranger. Green climbs onto audience members' heads and licks them, while sketches featuring live pigs, surreal rappers, and terrible storytellers push the episode into full-on absurdity. There's also a bizarre segment with Green and Lorne Michaels in a bubble bath, along with a strange Dr. Phil parody that adds to the overall madness. Along the way, Nick shares behind-the-scenes stories, including interviews with Green himself, and looks back on his career and this unforgettable SNL time capsule. [Ep 170]

Jesse Cole is the Walt Disney of baseball. As the founder and CEO of the Savannah Bananas and its parent company Fans First Entertainment, Jesse rewrote the rules of baseball to build an entertainment juggernaut. There are no bunts, walks or mound visits in Banana Ball, but there are dancing umpires, trick plays and choreographed dance numbers. But the Savannah Bananas are more than just a zany take on America’s past time, they are a $500 million business. In this episode of The Deal, Jesse tells Alex and Jason the tale of how the Bananas went from a struggling Coastal Plain League team to a multi-team league that sells out NFL stadiums. He also shares why he doesn’t charge his fans taxes or ticket fees and why Bananas games stream free on YouTube- despite the league having a deal with ESPN. Jesse also explains the details of a mistake that cost him $6 million and why he is inspired by both Dana White and Lorne Michaels.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Live from London! comes the newest version of SNL. With a new cast, a new band, and Lorne Michaels' blessing, March 21st came with the inaugural test of the highly anticipated British sketch show. Tina Fey hosted, with Wet Leg as the musical guest. On the podcast, we review her performance, the cast, the skits, our predictions for the show's remaining 7 episodes, as well as cover the early reception, the cameos, and our rating. Tune in to hear our thoughts. Welcome to Today's Episode!

A companion to our discussion about the end of the original era of SNL, we talk with biographer Susan Morrison about Lorne Michaels' side of things. Susan joins us to discuss Lorne's mindset going into Season Five, how much he (like everyone else) was looking towards life beyond Saturday Night Live, and where NBC's decision - made behind his back - to move on without him left him.Susan helps explain the thinking behind Lorne's need to put the show on an extended break, his (naïve) belief that the show was actually his, and how he eventually learned of NBC's decision to move on without him – while in a honky-tonk bar in Texas. We discuss Lorne's attempt at getting into movies and how that unsuccessful foray eventually led him back to where it all started – television. Susan talks both about The New Show (which she had personal experience with) and the reasons behind Lorne's decision to return to Saturday Night Live when asked by NBC after its 10th season.  ---------------------------------Subscribe & Follow today!And follow us on social media: Twitter: @NR4PTProject Instagram: @nr4ptprojectBluesky: @nr4ptproject.bsky.socialFacebook: The Not Ready for Prime Time ProjectContact Us: Website: https://www.nr4project.comEmail: nr4ptproject@gmail.com

Why did Lorne Michaels leave SNL? How hard did NBC try to keep him? Did a future US senator really sabotage everything?Saturday Night Live historians and authors Doug Hill & Jeff Weingrad join us once again to answer these questions (and more) as we look back on the end of SNL's original era. Beginning with Season Four (which they would argue was the beginning of the end), we connect the dots as to what brought about the eventual end of Lorne Michaels' original run of the show. Doug and Jeff take us inside the negotiations between Lorne & the network, try to make sense of NBC's decision to replace him with Jean Doumanian, and explain the outlook everyone had heading into Season Six. From exhaustion and failed prime time deals, to a bitter (and personal) contract negotiation and an infamous Weekend Update piece that just might have killed the whole deal, we examine all that went into one of the biggest turning points in Saturday Night Live history – one that was made behind the back of its creator, Lorne Michaels.If for some reason you haven't gotten a copy of Doug & Jeff's book, Saturday Night: A Backstage History of Saturday Night Live you can get it HERE, or anywhere you buy books.---------------------------------Subscribe & Follow today!

Fresh off presenting at the Grammys, Marcello Hernández (aka SNL's Domingo) joins the guys in studio. He shares what it was like chatting backstage with Queen Latifah, his love for Olivia Dean's music, and how surreal the whole Grammys experience was. Then it's all Saturday Night Live: the origins of Domingo, how Marcello landed his first sketch, and the biggest on-air bomb he and Dana ever shared. They also get into whether Marcello texts with Lorne Michaels and who could possibly take over when he retires. Plus, the guys get a Spanish lesson for the ages.

AD FREE DOPEY at www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This week on Dopey! We start wrapping up 2025 with a candid check-in: feeling under the weather amid a family stomach virus, craving a Sopranos binge, and doubting plans for "Five Days of Dopey" in January (Wednesday/Thursday shows likely intermittent—send opinions to dopeypodcast@gmail.com). We share the ultimate post-Christmas blues remedy: a trip to Elizabeth A. Morton National Wildlife Refuge in Sag Harbor, NY, where chickadees, titmice, and woodpeckers eat seeds straight from your hand in the snowy quiet—described as magical, healing, and the true "opposite of addiction."Dave addresses backlash from replaying Nick Reiner episodes (including harsh comments like "Narcissist Grifter" and "Exploitative Jew"), explains his intent to share old conversations without commentary, notes new listeners discovered Dopey through them, and mentions turning down media interviews. He plugs ad-free listening on Patreon (patreon.com/dopeypodcast) and urges positive iTunes reviews.Listener Emails (Oldies Read Aloud)Wendy: Proposes a dedicated recovery-focused social media platform to avoid bans for "junky" content.James D. Hart: Highlights interracial bands like Prince and the Revolution (inspired by Sly & the Family Stone), Jimi Hendrix Experience, and Smashing Pumpkins.Christy Adams: Celebrates 3 years clean, praises an older neuroscience/meth/GLP-1 episode, and misses the original Dave/Chris dynamic.Stickers or socks for anyone whose email/voicemail gets read—email dopeypodcast@gmail.com.Main Feature: Classic Darrell Hammond Interview Replay (2017) The legendary SNL cast member (longest-tenured before Keenan) gets raw about:SNL highs/lows, iconic impressions (Clinton, Connery), working with Lorne Michaels, and celebrity encounters.Childhood trauma and abuse, flashbacks, and blaming himself to protect the idea of parental love.Alcoholism starting at 14 (first beers felt like "the world turning from black-and-white to color").Self-harm as a "problem solver" and crisis creator during prolific periods.Wild Harlem crack house story (mistaken for a cop, defended as "that motherfucker old TV," spotting the St. Francis Prayer on the wall).Multiple relapses, including after a sponsor's suicide.Stroke-ward epiphany that finally led to lasting sobriety—seeing patients struggle to speak inspired desperation for change.Recovery tools: St. Francis (11th Step) Prayer, connection with others, cognitive therapy, yoga, meetings, and the "law of threes" (expect ⅓ great days, ⅓ okay, ⅓ rough).Wrap-Up Dave re-reads old Spotify comments on the Hammond episode (debates over "This or That," therapy questions, possum facts, etc.) and closes with his heartfelt acoustic cover of "Good So Bad"—the song from the first Dopey episode he heard that inspired him to get clean.All that and more on this weeks installment of that good old Dopey Replay Show!
