We're back with a new episode of the SNL Hall of Fame Water Cooler. This week Joe, Shari, and jD discuss this weeks episode of the SNL Hall of Fame. Transcript: Track 1:[0:20] Hey, it's JD here, and welcome to the SNL Hall of Fame Water Cooler. I am JD, and I'm thrilled to be here with you this week and every week. But I'm more excited to be hanging out with Joe and Shari because they've done such a great job the last few weeks. So, Joe, how are you doing today?Track 2:[0:42] I'm doing great. How are you doing?Track 1:[0:45] I'm actually pretty darn good. The sky is blue and there's clouds. I took the dogs to the beach today for a nice walk. So it's been a good time.Track 2:[0:57] Okay.Track 1:[0:58] Shari.Track 3:[1:00] Hello. How about you? I'm doing really well, thanks.Track 1:[1:05] Are you ready to talk about Saturday Night Live, guys?Track 3:[1:08] Absolutely. Absolutely.Track 2:[1:09] We got a great subject this week.Track 1:[1:11] We do have a good subject. We are talking all about Garrett Morris.Track 2:[1:17] Yes.Track 1:[1:19] Shari, do you want to start with a brief recap of the actual episode?Track 3:[1:26] Oh, certainly. It was a fun one. Thomas was joined by the fabulous Darren Patterson from the podcast SNL Nerds, which if you haven't listened to it out there in SNL podcast land, It is a fabulous podcast. They break down episodes of Saturday Night Live and in the summer and during the off times, they do movies and other topics. They just did a great interview with a crew member who does one of the film units. So really excited to have Darren. And Darren is a fountain of knowledge and he's bringing that knowledge to discuss Garrett. And making a lot of good points about Garrett's involvement in the show, how he was often a little bit taken for granted, but he was a very much an in the clutch player. And I think there makes a very good case. And Thomas backs him right up, adding that Garrett's also one of the very best singers of all of the cast.Track 2:[2:26] I learned that from the podcast.Track 3:[2:30] Yeah, I wasn't really aware of that either. Oh, he was a fantastic singer. I actually watched the episode that he was most known for where he sang a song. And he's incredible. I mean, he's an operatic Juilliard-trained singer. And you can hear it.Track 1:[2:50] Wow.Track 3:[2:51] So that's the episode. And it was a good one. And Darren made a lot of great points, as did Thomas, as always.Track 1:[2:58] Joe, what do you think of Garrett Morris as a whole? Do you think he's somebody who is...Track 2:[3:09] Now, anyone who's in that first five years, I feel deserves at least special consideration for being in the Hall of Fame. And especially since Garrett was in all five years of the first five. and the thing is uh you'll hear this a lot it was mentioned on the podcast and you'll hear it today he was very underused now i just want to also point out that he was in all five years, however dan akroyd john belushi they weren't they left uh before season five that's right but But they each got best of DVDs. And Garrett did not. So that just shows you how underused. And I feel like people, when you go out and vote, I really suggest that you give him a second look because I believe he really is talented and underappreciated.Track 3:[4:10] It's interesting to think of somebody being underappreciated and yet part of that pioneering first cast that's uh very interesting to me um especially.Track 1:[4:25] Because he stood out he stood out because the rest of the cast was very white and he was not and a lot of the jokes and and themes of his sketches were racially charged in like a in a great way.Track 3:[4:43] Yes yes agreed in an appropriate way yeah definitely i don't know that you could do it now there'd be too too much sensitivity i think, but um it was hard hitting at the time for sure i mean it was something worth addressing, yeah yeah the white guilt relief fund that i know they oh my god and i watched that a couple of times it's unfortunately edited way down and it's not that long to begin with but the part I saw was just it's a riot and that was really really edgy for 70 was it 77 yeah they weren't talking about that, They weren't talking about the book. It was a hot topic when Saturday Night Live started. Yes.Track 2:[5:28] So, I mean, that's just worth mentioning that he had to tackle a subject that was very taboo. And he had to do it pretty much, I don't want to say all by himself, I'm sorry to all the writers, but he was the only one to represent the show. There wasn't any other African-American cast members.Track 3:[5:44] It was just him.Track 2:[5:45] And he had to tackle a very hot-button issue.Track 1:[5:48] You i don't even know and this would be something if you know this send us an email uh snl hof watercooler at gmail.com and let us know if and if if shari or joe you know this like let me know but i don't know that there were any african-american uh or or any minorities, as part of the writing staff.Track 3:[6:16] I'm so positive there was not.Track 1:[6:20] So he would have been somebody looking for his own, he would have been somebody looking for his own voice, you know?Track 3:[6:26] And not only that, J.D., but he was also, as they brought up in the podcast, and it hasn't been brought up, anyone talking about Garrett on the show, he was many years older than all of them. And he was the only one who wasn't from a stand-up or an improv background.Track 2:[6:45] Excellent point.Track 3:[6:46] Which they also talked about, Darren and Thomas also talked about. He was a straight-up actor and musician. He'd come off the Belafonte Singers. And Lauren was interested in him because of his playwright experience, apparently. Which I didn't realize I learned that on the podcast. Because, you know, Thomas does his homework.Track 2:[7:08] Kevin, that background is unique for Saturday Night Live just in general. That's very unique. Usually you come from Second City, Groundlings, Stand Up, and I know it's very rare not to come from one of those.Track 3:[7:26] Yes.Track 1:[7:28] Yeah, it would be interesting to see a list of people that are, and I suspect it would be very short.Track 3:[7:34] Pie graph.Track 1:[7:35] Pie graph, yeah.Track 2:[7:37] I mean, it would be a very thin slice.Track 3:[7:39] Yeah, when I hear, because I listen to Fly on the Wall, which I'm sure a lot of our listeners do, And they talk a lot about how it was pretty divided between improv and stand-up, with the bulk being improv. I didn't even hear them discuss any that had, like, theater or serious acting background. They all came from one of the two comedy tracks. So that makes him very unique. If I were to guess.Track 2:[8:09] I would say that, like, Michael McKean or maybe Robert Downey Jr.Track 3:[8:14] True, true. you know like the whole season 11 cast it wouldn't be a long list yeah agreed, yeah I like that Thomas and Darren talking about how he.Track 1:[8:29] May be the best singer because.Track 3:[8:32] I you know like there's some strong singers that have been on the show like.Track 1:[8:35] I think of Chloe Trost right now.Track 3:[8:37] Yes but Garrett Broser why is John Lewis but I don't want to get off topic. But Garrett is a classically chained operatic singer.Track 1:[8:53] That's nuts.Track 3:[8:54] He went to freaking Juilliard. It's crazy. And like opera and comedy.Track 2:[9:00] Those can go together. I mean, if Bugs Bunny has taught me anything, it's that opera and comedy is funny. And they could have used that in multiple ways.Track 1:[9:15] Well, tell us.Track 3:[9:16] I mean, like, opera.Track 2:[9:18] They could have tackled news stories. They could have been a Weekend Update character is an opera man.Track 3:[9:24] I mean, right there. Yeah, Gers could have actually sang opera.Track 2:[9:28] Yeah, I mean, yeah, where you get an opera singer, you got M. Chandler, who did it ironically, you know? Or you could, I mean, look at, I mean, he could have just sang funny songs. I mean, look at Weird Al. I mean, that's a whole genre is.Track 3:[9:42] Like, a funny song.Track 2:[9:45] You have this classically trained singer, and that could have been a whole segment. It could have been his reoccurring character.Track 1:[9:54] Yeah, I agree.Track 2:[9:57] So basically, the whole theme of Garrett Morris or this episode is how underly appreciated he was.Track 3:[10:05] And yeah, if you listen to the other podcasts, they pretty much list the best of.Track 2:[10:10] If not, pretty much the best of everything that he did.Track 3:[10:15] And right there that should if you're gonna vote for him uh it should be off of those, and like even with the douchebag skit yeah or sketch sketch i got it right on my hand he only had one line in it and he delivered it on a bullseye yes so you have the whole grand finale uh sketch where you got all the cast members here we share bill murray everyone doing the last sketch of the last five years and only give Garrett Morse one line and I'll be damned if it's the most memorable line and not only that that's the one they always use in the clip shows of like all the anniversary shows yes I agree and that is the point that Darren and Thomas made even though he's not on screen as much and he doesn't have as many lines when he has a line or he has a bit, it is very memorable. Like we're talking about him now and that was, 50 years ago, almost. 50 years ago? Yeah, coming out. He was definitely memorable.Track 1:[11:22] Yeah.Track 2:[11:23] And then, also in that superhero sketch, he played Ant-Man. Didn't have that much lines, but was memorable enough for them to reference it in the Paul Rudd movie. So, you know, he had just a couple lines. It was like, oh, wait, yeah, that's right. Garrett Morris played him back in the 70s.Track 3:[11:46] He probably had three lines.Track 2:[11:48] And it was rememberable enough to be in a Marvel movie.Track 1:[11:53] That's hilarious.Track 2:[11:57] So, I mean, he's a scene stealer.Track 3:[11:59] Yeah, and his new president of the New York School for the Hard of Hearing, that's in every clip show they do. It's so, so funny. Again, you can't really find a lot of his most memorable stuff online. line, and I could only find one of those. I wish I'd been able to watch more. I was just saying I wish I'd been able to find more of those hard-of-hearing sketches, or bits on Weekend Update, because they were so funny, but I could only find one.Track 1:[12:31] You guys have Peacock, right?Track 3:[12:33] Absolutely.Track 1:[12:34] See, we don't have Peacock in Canada. So I don't have access to just dial back into a... I've got a whole bunch on my hard drive, like but there's a lot of them that are dud episodes.Track 3:[12:50] Okay. The character is so rememberable that they did it verbatim with Garrett Morris on Family Guy. Really? Yeah, they just, they had him come on and do that.Track 2:[13:03] Like, that's how rememberable that character or that sketch was.Track 1:[13:10] That's fascinating.Track 3:[13:12] Yeah, it's a classic.Track 1:[13:13] It really has permeated pop culture in a way that not every star or performer on the original cast did necessarily.Track 2:[13:28] Here's another way he was remembered. I just came up with this off the top of my head. Robert Smigel for the 25th anniversary show. He did a joke about how Lorne Michaels was making merchandise based on the show.Track 3:[13:41] He had the Dennis Miller talking doll he had conehead suppositories and then he also had I forget the character's name but very very good drink, Chico Azuela Chico Azuela very very good drink so again another character that wasn't used that much but was rememberable enough to be referenced in the 25th anniversary cartoon, wow Wow.Track 1:[14:12] I mean, Darren mentions him as an unsung hero.Track 3:[14:19] I agree. 100%.Track 1:[14:21] Right? Yeah.Track 3:[14:25] In the documentary, Saturday Night Live.Track 2:[14:29] The first five years, even Al Franken said that he saw Garrett in a sketch performing. And while Al Franken was on stage watching Garrett perform, Al Franken was having this realization like, oh my God, we should use this guy more. Just like year four, we just had this realization now?Track 3:[14:51] Are you joking?Track 2:[14:54] In the documentary. I mean, I remember it was Al Franken that said it. It was the show, I don't know which basketball player.Track 3:[15:01] But the sketch was the basketball player.Track 2:[15:06] The host, was sneaking around playing on a basketball team and Garrett Morris played his mom. And he was playing this mom character so well that Al Franken had a realization that, like, this guy is good. And I'm realizing this in year four?Track 1:[15:24] I'm telling you, a big part of it would have been that he would have been writing for himself.Track 3:[15:31] Right. There was nobody.Track 1:[15:32] And, sorry, Shari.Track 3:[15:34] No, you're absolutely right, JD. he was he was there on his own and they talk a lot about how important it is for cast members to find a writer who gets them yeah and garrett didn't have that there was nobody who exactly got him both because of his age because of his race obviously and because he was coming from a less comedic background and nobody could hook into that but imagine if they They could have hooked into that. Imagine if Franken had realized the things that could have happened. They could have done some really amazing things.Track 1:[16:12] I think so, too.Track 2:[16:13] Plus, it seemed like people paired up better or they didn't pair up with them. Like, obviously, Ackroyd and Belushi paired up. The girls kind of lumped together. And Ackroyd and Curtin did stuff on Weekend Update.Track 3:[16:31] And I, you know.Track 2:[16:33] It's worth pointing out that Garrett wasn't an update host.Track 3:[16:37] I think everyone else was, except for Belushi, but not him.Track 2:[16:45] He probably would have appeared out better if he was an update host with someone.Track 3:[16:51] I also find it interesting, speaking of Jane and Lorraine, I also find it interesting that Jane got in first ballot because I was looking at our current Hall of Fame, who's already in, and I thought it was interesting that the three that I feel get at the case made that they were underutilized are Jane, Lorraine, and Garrett.Track 1:[17:13] That's right.Track 3:[17:14] And Jane got in first ballot, which I was amazed because I voted for her, but she's not as well known for being on SNL as Belushi or Aykroyd or Murray. So I was happy to see her get in. I'm very sad that Lorraine's still not in. And I feel like, I fear that Garrett's going to have that same fate because people, as I said, have kind of short memories. and I really urge you to look at his stuff and vote for him if you truly believe he does but I really want to, urge people to vote for him and I want to campaign for him because he really was talented and even though he didn't have that much stuff the stuff that he did have is worthy of everyone else that's already in there, A hundred percent agree. And I also want to suggest something to you two and to anybody, any listener out there. I found his ceremony for getting his star on the Hall of Fame, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, rather.Track 3:[18:29] And it's very it's very basic like i love how bare bones it is they're in a little shelter because it was raining and they're just on the hollywood walk of fame having this ceremony it's not fancy there's not a lot of fancy camera work and garrett gives like a 20 minute speech about his career and it's fascinating stuff it's really fascinating i didn't know how much he had done And he talks a lot about his beginnings, how he was homeless for some time. So I really urge people to check that out to get a full picture of this gentleman's career, because it is really pretty amazing.Track 1:[19:10] The burden of voting is a lot. You know, you're sort of expected to have listened to the nomination episodes. episodes, and then now you're listening to Water Cooler, where we're going to remind you even more. And it's interesting. Shari, you mentioned Lorraine. She, last year was her first year on the ballot, and she got 38%. So using that as an over-under number, Where do you think Garrett will land voting-wise?Track 3:[19:48] I feel like Garrett's going to be right there with her, maybe right around 37%, 38%. It's going to be real close.Track 1:[19:58] So right around the same.Track 3:[19:59] I think so.Track 1:[20:00] How about you, Joe?Track 2:[20:02] Sadly, and this breaks my heart.Track 3:[20:05] And I hope I'm wrong, but he might be in the 20% because he's not recognizable as some of the other people and it's hard to research him and, he just doesn't have that much stuff out there and I don't want people thinking he should just get in just because he's in the first five years. I want him to get in because of the stuff that he did in the first five years.Track 2:[20:33] But if you're asking me what his percentage is, it's probably going to be low because he doesn't have that much stuff out there.Track 1:[20:40] Do you think it'll be lower than Lorraine then?Track 2:[20:43] It breaks my heart, but if I was to go above or below Lorraine, it breaks my heart, but I'm probably going to say below. It breaks my heart, though.Track 3:[20:55] I think he's a little above Lorraine because he's been in the public eye and people know him more where she's not been in a lot of things. And he's been around, so people know him. People watch Two Broke Girls. People rock some of his stuff. So I think he's going to at least be the same or a tiny bit higher.Track 1:[21:19] Well, I wonder how much influence the fact that it's the 50th anniversary this year and will be, whether or not they revisit previous things on the show. You know, there's going to be the 50th anniversary show. I suspect it's going to be with the movie. It's going to be more in people's minds. So I wonder if that'll have any impact on voting.Track 2:[21:47] That's a worthy point. And it probably will on some people.Track 3:[21:53] And hopefully it'll have an impact on Garrett.Track 1:[21:56] Yeah, that's what I mean, mainly.Track 2:[21:58] I agree. I'm agreeing with you, yeah.Track 3:[22:00] And I've heard the, I just read a Rolling Stone article just before I came on with you two, that they had seen it at the Telluride and it was a bit of a review. And they mentioned Lamorne Morris's, performance as garrett and it was one of the things they pointed out in the article so that that might give garrett a little push it's that performance is getting a lot of talk and uh that will put garrett back in people's consciousness which is a great okay yeah maybe he will be uh equal or above lorraine oh i could you're starting to sway me well i i wonder what What Lorraine will get in terms of a bump this year. Right.Track 2:[22:44] Like whether it's going to go down or up.Track 3:[22:47] I feel like I've been hearing more about Lamorne's portrayal than I've heard about. I can't even remember the actress who's doing Lorraine. Lamorne's been getting a lot of positive buzz. And I've heard he just nails it. Well, I've got a ticket to see it at the Toronto International Film Festival. Oh, so jealous. Alas.Track 1:[23:09] Yeah. So we'll definitely talk about it.Track 2:[23:11] I'll follow me and T.D. because he's going to take me.Track 3:[23:13] Right?Track 1:[23:14] If you can get up here, I'll take you. I got an extra ticket.Track 2:[23:19] Oh.Track 1:[23:20] Yeah.Track 2:[23:21] Well, Shuri's like in Michigan, so she's got a head start.Track 3:[23:25] That's true.Track 1:[23:26] I'll send my private jet over. I'll send the SNL Hall of Fame jet over.Track 3:[23:30] All right. I'll pack my bag.Track 1:[23:34] Okay. I want to know a little bit more about some of the other candidates that you guys have talked about this year. You've talked about Beck Bennett.Track 3:[23:46] Yeah.Track 1:[23:47] And you've talked about Sherry O'Terry.Track 3:[23:50] Yeah.Track 1:[23:52] Now we're discussing Garrett Morris. So if you had to rank those three, and I'm not saying if you had to, I'm going to say you have to. rank those three in terms of their likelihood to get in or get a substantial amount of the vote. And I could tell you, Oh, Beck Bennett wasn't on the ballot last year. Nevermind. So I can't tell you what he got last year, but, um.Track 3:[24:24] Yeah, I'm curious.Track 2:[24:26] I would say, if I were to go one, two, three, with one being highest, I would say it would go Shiri.Track 3:[24:35] Garrett, Beck.Track 2:[24:36] Shiri is recognizable for having multiple characters. Garrett is recognizable for being first five years, among other things. And then Beck Bennett is just newer. So he just hasn't been around as long as the other two.Track 1:[24:54] That's right yeah he's only been away from the show for a couple years too.Track 3:[24:58] I'm gonna disagree there i think back to the edge because of his recency look at how well kate did now brandon kate's in a class how did kate not get in oh yeah she's very close though i i i do think i do think her chances are good this year but sticking with back i think you're right I think he's got that recency. I think people really like him. I think people are realizing, just like with Bobby, who we're going to talk about in later watercolor episodes, people are realizing how essential these players were to the game now that they're away from it. Because I think we all took back Bobby, maybe not all, but I certainly didn't think about them. But now that I'm watching more and more of their sketches and what a pivotal role they played during their seasons. I think they're both going to do quite well, and I do think it's because they're more recent, and again, people have short memories. So I think it's going to be back, Sherry, and I think Garrett is going to be, unfortunately.Track 2:[26:07] I like that reasoning.Track 1:[26:09] I don't agree with it.Track 3:[26:10] But I like it.Track 1:[26:10] You've made mention, Sherry, as well, that you're worried that he doesn't even get the 10%.Track 3:[26:17] Yeah, I am kind of, I am worried. I did, I think I mentioned that with Sherry and Garrett too. I just, people have such short memories and Sherry was a long time ago too, but I'm hoping that with the 50th and people re-watching things, like I said, she wasn't on the 40th anniversary. She hasn't been around as much. That's not been back yet, Yeah, but I feel like he's going to be back.Track 1:[26:48] I think you're right.Track 3:[26:49] I feel like he and Kyle are going to sneak their way in, if not in cameos, in some way. And yeah, I don't think she's interested in coming back. I think she's kind of moved on with her life, which is totally her prerogative. But I think that's going to be a big decision.Track 2:[27:12] Because I like that point that you made, is that she kind of just came and went.Track 3:[27:16] Kind of like Jim Brewer.Track 2:[27:17] Who just came by, did her term, and moved on and never looked back.Track 3:[27:23] Yeah, agreed.Track 1:[27:24] Well, Jim Brewer, a little bit different. Like, I mean.Track 2:[27:27] Yeah, yeah.Track 1:[27:28] No, no, no, no.Track 2:[27:28] I know, I know.Track 1:[27:30] I don't think people look back as fondly.Track 2:[27:32] Just, you want to pick someone from that generation.Track 1:[27:35] Right. Well, I think a good comp for back might be Will Forte, who was on the list last year, and he ended up with like 63% or something like that. Will did very well. Sorry?Track 3:[27:52] Will did very well. I was surprised how well he did because he is such a controversial. People seem to love or totally not love him.Track 1:[28:01] Yes.Track 3:[28:02] How is that going to seem how well he did?Track 1:[28:06] Yeah, I'm very curious.Track 2:[28:08] Falcon, Aaron, and McGruder are very specific, either are on board or not.Track 1:[28:12] Well, I think he gets in this year because he was only three points away.Track 3:[28:16] Oh, I agree. And I feel like Beck's going to get like 60, 63% this year. Very similar to Will.Track 1:[28:24] You know, I would have been somebody who years ago would have consciously not voted for Beck Bennett. it. But man, did he ever win me over? By the time he left, I remember his last sketch was, he did Vin Diesel. It was the 10 to 1 sketch. And he just nailed it. And it's Vin Diesel.Track 2:[28:52] Just for trivia, do you know someone else that did Vin Diesel? I don't. Richie O'Shans.Track 1:[28:59] Really?Track 2:[29:00] David Spade hosted.Track 1:[29:02] Ah indeed I.Track 2:[29:06] Just wanted to point out because there's two totally different performers, that's why it's a cut in my head.Track 1:[29:15] So that's how you have them so that's how you have them ranked we'll revisit this next week and see once we add a fourth layer, where they fit in and you know we'll sort of revisit this as the season goes on like we do with your ballots I'm very curious. You guys talked about your ballots in the first episode. I'm curious, by the time we get to maybe the fifth episode, we'll revisit it and see if anything has changed.Track 2:[29:42] Okay.Track 1:[29:43] Like, Joe, you only used 10 votes, so you've got some room, if you wanted.Track 2:[29:51] I went first in the DECA system, but I'll look at it again.Track 1:[29:56] Yeah, well, Well, Shari had used all 15, and I believe she said she had two that were on the cusp.Track 3:[30:04] Yes, and Garrett was one of those two, and I really want to put him on my ballot. So many of the ones on my ballot are ones that don't have much time left, and I don't want them to fall off. I know.Track 1:[30:21] We lost a lot last year.Track 3:[30:23] We did, and I have several that are going to go this year because it's their fifth time on the ballot. So I hope they all get in, but I'm not really too hopeful, but who knows?Track 1:[30:40] Well, I think one of the things we changed the way the ballot looked last year, and we included little factoids, like last chance, that sort of thing. And I think that helped people realize. I do think that helped. Yeah, I think so.Track 3:[30:58] I'm so happy Maya and Molly got in, because that would have been it for them.Track 1:[31:02] They were done, right?Track 3:[31:04] Yeah, which would have been a travesty. So I'm very glad.Track 1:[31:08] This year, we've got Jack Handy, Dave Grohl, Paul Lappel, Candice Bergen, Paul Rudd that could fall off the ballot.Track 3:[31:21] Voters, we're urging you. Don't let this happen.Track 1:[31:27] Candice Bergen, 35%.Track 3:[31:31] The original first female five-timer. Yes. And she still shows up in cameos And I guarantee you she'll be at the 50th anniversary She's such a huge friend of the show She's royalty, Even though she hasn't done any TV shows or movies recently She still shows up And does her time I wouldn't be surprised if she showed up on Only Murders But as far as Saturday Night Live goes She shows up to Acknowledge her place In the Five Timers Club Yeah, so yeah she absolutely does belong in the whole thing I really think, I'm a big pusher of Jack Handy and Paula Pell as well so I hope that people remember this and I'm glad you're adding it to the ballot JD to remind people that they're not on forever that's right.Track 1:[32:31] Paul Rudd looks rough. He's got 17%. I don't know that that looks good for him at all. Or no, sorry, he had 12% last year.Track 3:[32:39] Yeah.Track 1:[32:40] So he went from 23 in his first year, and he's dropped. He went from 23 to 17 to 18 to 12. So I don't feel good about him. Candice Bergen fell from 41 to 35. Whereas Paula Powell went from 29 to 41. so there's good news for her.Track 3:[33:03] I'm hoping she gets her name out there more often and gets recognized for her connections Paula? Yeah because I'm not sure how the great majority of people, know what she contributed to the show She's been showing up She was very important Yeah and she's been showing up a lot lately She was in a couple of episodes She was in Kristen Wiig's Five Timers sketch.Track 2:[33:33] Oh, that's right. She had a great joke where she goes, I wrote here for five years, but right now, Kristen Wiig's... I'm going to play an audience member, and Kristen Wiig's going to pretend not to know me.Track 3:[33:44] She was also in at least one sketch in the Kate McKinnon. I feel like she was in that singing...Track 2:[33:54] Yeah, I could see that.Track 3:[33:56] I just can't remember the name of it, but they did a big song pre-date and I believe Paula was in it too Tampon Farm Tampon Farm Tampon Farm.Track 1:[34:07] Oh right Oh there you go The Kate with the guitar, Yeah.Track 2:[34:13] Yeah, she, and I mean, again, she helped with the cheerleaders. So if you're going to vote for Sherry.Track 3:[34:18] Vote for Paula.Track 2:[34:20] She helped with the cheerleaders.Track 3:[34:22] With the cheerleaders, yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm getting pretty excited about next week's episode, J.D.Track 1:[34:28] Yeah, I think so. We're going back to the host well after talking about three cast members. Shari, do you want to share who we're going to be talking about?Track 3:[34:40] Out you know they were just talking about him on the saturday night network which i know we talk about a lot right they were just talking about him because they're doing that they're doing that host countdown and he's quite high on their list he was number 10 i think uh yeah i believe 10 might be right 10 11 right he's in the top 12 i believe uh of course i'm talking about kylo ren friend himself, Mr. Adam Driver. Again, very recent, but this one I have to say I agree with. He is one of those serious actors like Garrett who does this great comedic turn, becoming a baby on a plane and just undercover boss. I mean, beep, beep. He's got a great couple. Oh, he was in a science room.Track 2:[35:34] Which is always great.Track 1:[35:40] Cecily and Mikey?Track 3:[35:41] Yes.Track 1:[35:42] Yeah.Track 3:[35:42] So very, very excited to see the case that our guest...Track 1:[35:47] So it's actually Bauer will be joining us. And... it should be a great episode because there's a lot of meat on that bone.Track 3:[35:59] Oh yeah. I'm very excited to come back next week with you too and talk all about Adam driver and what his possibility of getting into the hall of fame might be where he's going to land on those ballots. Yeah. I mean, he's on his way to become a five timer.Track 2:[36:18] So I believe that he could be in the hall of fame.Track 3:[36:24] I think so too. I think there's a good chance he's going to be a host in season 50, even though he was just on in 49. Other hosts have done back-to-backs. Yeah. He always has projects. I mean, he's always in several movies. He could be appearing in a couple of TV shows these days with streaming. Who knows? Anything goes. So he'll definitely have something to promote.Track 1:[36:50] I would think so. He's always got something on the go.Track 3:[36:52] Or he could just show up in cameo and just be a scene stealer that's true.Track 1:[36:57] That's true i i suspect he'll have a part of the 50th anniversary i just think oh absolutely he's you know the last 10 years he's one of the most memorable hosts exactly.Track 2:[37:08] I was thinking the same thing.Track 1:[37:10] So you know he's almost like this cast this generation's jt or walk-in walk-in or yeah Yeah, like how they all had different generations they worked with.Track 3:[37:22] I love the I'm all out of cash.Track 1:[37:25] I'm all out of cash.Track 3:[37:27] That's so good.Track 2:[37:28] Oh, yes, yes.Track 3:[37:30] And that's another one they could have went to Beck Bennett.Track 2:[37:32] But that's like a good team effort sketch. Yeah, yeah.Track 1:[37:36] Totally Kyle and Beck.Track 3:[37:38] Very exciting. And then he played that elderly teacher.Track 2:[37:40] But we'll talk about this next week.Track 3:[37:41] Yeah, very excited to talk next week. It was great fun talking with you both this week and always the highlight of my week. so very excited for next week's episode and very excited to listen to next week's episode because I know it's going to be a great one, absolutely I love talking to you guys and I love telling our audience to like and subscribe and do all those fun things with those fun buttons yes David Spade says smash that button smash that button, I will tell you smash the button And then just get another burner phone and just repeat.Track 1:[38:20] That's amazing.

"It takes work and it takes commitment to really screen in versus screen out....We are approaching this in many ways...We don't simply need an electrical engineer or a mechanical engineer, or a person with a computer science degree. What are the skills that we're looking for? What are the interests that we need in the talent that's coming in? And we're helping the leaders in the organization write job descriptions in a different way than we have written them before." Telva McGruder on Electric Ladies Podcast General Motors announced it would phase out traditional internal combustion engine vehicles and only focus on electric vehicles by 2035. But how? What does that mean for the plants? For talent and recruiting? Listen to Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson's engaging and fascinating conversation with Telva McGruder, Chief Diversity Officer of General Motors, who has spent 28 years at GM, starting as an engineer. You'll hear: How their recruiting has changed for the new auto sector focus on alternative fuel vehicles. How GM is converting their 100+ year old manufacturing system for these new vehicles. How GM quickly pivoted some of their plants to manufacture ventilators during the height of the pandemic. The differences between male-dominated leadership at GM and female-dominated leadership there. Plus, insightful career advice, especially for women... "Mid-career women are great at getting results....But if we say making a difference is making a difference for the people around you and making a big difference for the business you're in. And, and maybe for the communities that you move in, that takes practice, and it takes really sitting back and looking at how should I behave every single day, so that I'm making a difference for people."

After tragedy struck her neighborhood in 2018, artist M. Simone Boyd wanted to do something. Boyd enlisted neighborhood youth to create a mosaic depicting civil rights leader Curlie E. McGruder. The mosaic, created in partnership with a neighborhood woodworking shop, was mounted on the side of the Elizabeth Park senior center, over a window that had been cemented over. Now the Art Against Violence project has culminated in a total of five mosaics, depicting Black women who were pillars of the community — Curlie E. McGruder, Willie Mae “Momma” Boddie, Nora Evelyn Ransom, Mary Louise Watson and Juno Frankie Pierce.

The Lovely Ebony Brown – S03/E11 WelcomeEpisode synopsis HBOMax Synopsis: Granddad finds a Black woman so beautiful and charming not even Ruckus can hate her. Ebony Brown is perfect in every way so is this the end of Granddad's long, sad, desperate search for a woman? Not if he can help it.

Post Show: Disputed Podcast – https://disputedpod.com Next week: Mr. Medicinal Need to see where we are on social media and such? Come find us! https://www.theboondockspod.com/links Trivia: Ebony Brown makes several comments throughout the episode that indicate her character is a vessel of commentary on The Boondocks TV series by an outside viewer, or possibly Aaron McGruder himself. Examples of this are: In the restaurant, Ebony comments directly on Uncle Ruckus's character as being obviously reprehensible, but telling small grains of truth and therefore is funny and likable. Such a statement is appropriate of a real-life critic or fan, not of an in-series character. Sitting on the bench by the bridge at sunset, Ebony similarly comments on the features of Granddad's character. She then goes on to say she wants to be a “recurring character”. In Malaysia, Ebony suggests slowing things down, saying there are plenty of episodes left in Granddad's story. Granddad counters by talking about how he wants to speed things up, saying he's not sure how many episodes he has left. This is likely a direct reflection by McGruder (voiced through Granddad) saying how he wants to heighten the intensity of the show because he is not sure how much longer the show will last. This notion is further corroborated by Season 3 being Aaron McGruder's last season.

Pause – S03/E08 WelcomeEpisode synopsis HBOMax Synopsis: Granddad is cast as the leading man by mega-superstar of stage and screen, Winston Jerome.

Come find us! https://www.theboondockspod.com/links Trivia: “Pause” is a phrase used in the urban community to express an air of awkwardness after a pseudo-homosexual statement is uttered. This is commonly followed by the phrase “No homo”. Uncle Ruckus does not appear in this episode. This episode along with The Story of Jimmy Rebel have been banned from Adult Swim and Hulu. The episode returned for an airing on May 29, 2020 on Adult Swim and the episode is on HBO Max.When the episode first aired on Adult Swim, it was rated TV-MA. But when it aired on May 29, 2020, it was re-rated TV-MA-LS. The reason behind this is currently unknown. ControversyThe similarities between Winston Jerome/Ma Dukes and Tyler Perry/Madea as well as the former's portrayal towards the end of the episode has been directed to Tyler Perry via his website, e-mails and his Facebook and Twitter pages for comment. Fans of Tyler Perry have brought the episode to Mr. Perry's attention hoping for comment and in some instances, urging him to sue Aaron McGruder and Cartoon Network. Tyler Perry addressed the controversy and at the same time put to rest rumors someone was fired after the episode aired Article at Shadow And Act. In the article he states he has no plans to sue Aaron McGruder and The Boondocks (likely in referral to Turner Broadcasting, which owns Cartoon Network and TBS, which airs 3 of Perry's shows) though some readers are skeptical as to whether this is really true. Although Tyler Perry is very familiar with McGruder's work (and obviously vice versa for Aaron with Tyler's work), those who are skeptical of Tyler's statement believe it maybe be a placeholder to an actual pending complaint filed against McGruder.The Boondocks creator himself is of course known for controversy. He has a real-life feud with BET, openly criticized George W. Bush and even (reportedly) dissed Condoleezza Rice at the 2002 NAACP awards. He is considered an “outcast” by the American Black Power Establishment because of his leftist views and shocked many when he visited Cuba in 2003 and met with then-president Fidel Castro. One possible end result of this little facade is both men using the attention to promote their respective shows, movies/plays (Perry) and Comic Strips (McGruder), though this is unlikely since The Boondocks comic strip was cancelled in 2006, four years prior to this episodeCultural references The character Winston Jerome is, as mentioned above, a parody of playwright and filmmaker Tyler Perry. Jerome's character Ma Dukes (who he crossdresses to portray) and the play at the beginning are parodies of Tyler Perry's character Mabel Simmons—known as Madea—and his plays and films. The episode parodies The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the songs “Sweet Transvestite” and “The Time Warp”. When Granddad recalls his acting career a flashback shows him auditioning for In the Heat of the Night, Enter the Dragon, and Rocky III. The” brown skinned bald dude from Law and Order ” is a reference to Steve Harris who plays as one of the antagonists in the film production of Diary of a Mad Black Woman. The blonde-haired overweight black woman (a parody of Cassi Davis: an actress that is frequently cast in Tyler Perry's theatrical productions, as well as the television series: Tyler Perry's House of Payne) seen through-out the episode in a zombie-like trance, states on two occasions that she “is going to get some Kool-Aid”. This is a reference to the mass suicide executed by the 909 members of The Peoples Temple Church led by Jim Jones. They all died by consuming cyanide-laced grape Flavor Aid. (The term “drinking the Kool-Aid” originates from this incident.) Show Music: Intro: #Makeachange by K.I.R.K. is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 License.

The McGruder Family exploded on the gospel music scene in 1984. and through the 80s and 90s, they literally transformed gospel music. With countless #1 hits, even one that became a #1 gospel song in the world, the McGruder introduced people across a wide religious spectrum to the power of the Holy Spirit through energetic, heart-gripping music. Eric McGruder was the son of the group's founder, Carroll McGruder, and the world-class drummer that made the McGruder sound so tight and fresh. Eric's story both within the music industry and afterwards is fascinating. Maybe you're a long-time fan of the McGruder's, or maybe you're learning of their impact on gospel music for the first time, but if you love music you will love this conversation with Eric.
