This week on the SNL Hall of Fame podcast we welcome back to the show, Kirstin Rajala to discuss and build a case for Beck Bennett.Transcript: Track 2:[0:42] Thank you so much, Doug DeNance. It is a thrill to be back here in the SNL Hall of Fame, bringing to you the SNL Hall of Fame podcast. Once again, we're back for season six. We really hope you enjoyed the draft episode. Now, why don't you come inside? You might notice I'm looking at your feet. Wipe them. Know what I'm saying? So there's that. The SNL Hall of Fame podcast is a weekly affair fair where each episode we take a deep dive into the career of a former cast member, host, musical guest, or writer and add them to the ballot for your consideration.Track 2:[1:20] Once the nominees have been announced, we turn to you, the listener, to vote for the most deserving and help determine who will be enshrined for perpetuity in the hall. And that's how we play the game. It's just that simple. I am so pumped to be working with Matt and Thomas again for another season. We've got a banger of a year. We've got some fantastic, fantastic nominees and some really amazing special guests this season to nominate those nominees and build the case for them. We're also doing something a little different this year. We've got a new sister show that will be released on Thursdays or Fridays. I'm still flirting with that. If you have a preference, whether it's Thursdays or Fridays, send me an email, the SNL hall of fame at gmail.com. That's right. It's a new email address because it's a new year. It's a new season and we need a new email address. So there's that. Now, I will say that the SNL Water Cooler will be a visitation, a revisitation of the week's episode, and it'll also take a look at the episode of SNL, whether or not there are Hall-worthy performances or Hall-of-Shame-worthy performances that we might analyze down the road when we nominate so-and-so.Track 2:[2:47] So there's that. What do you say we wander down the hall and talk to our good friend Matt Ardill? I am going to pivot and make my way down the corridor here. Ah, there he is, leaning against the wall like a slug. Hey, if you got time to lean, you got time to clean, my boy.Track 3:[3:06] Matt, you've been around for four seasons, five seasons at this point. This is the beginning of your fifth season. How are you doing, man? Good, good. I'm happy to be here. And how about you, J.D.? I am pretty much good. I was camping, and I've been eaten alive. My ankles are all itchy, but other than that, I cannot complain. Yeah, but you got some fresh air, got out of the city, so that's always good. That's right.Track 3:[3:33] So what do you got for us this week? Today, I have Beck Bennett. Nice. Five foot eight, born on the best day of the year in Willamette, Illinois. Shares a birthday with luminaries such as Julie Andrews, Jimmy Carter, and myself. Hey. October 1st, 1984, which makes me feel all the more useless because he's 10 years my junior and has achieved so much more than I have. Oh, stop. Stop. Yeah, no, but he grew up a theater kid performing in children's theater at the Children's Theater of Winnetka. And in high school, played Jean Valjean at the New Tierra High School performance of Les Miserables. Yeah. So, now, he did go on to attend University of Southern California and the USC School of Dramatic Arts. Where he met and formed the sketch troupe Good Neighbor with Kyle Mooney, Nick Rutherford, and Dave McCary, all of whom went on to work at SNL.Track 3:[4:39] Now, after joining Good Neighbor, they created a series of sketch comedy shorts on YouTube which uh kind of make the parodies that they did later on in snl all the funnier um but this led to a series of ads where he's the at&t guy uh that uh had him interviewing children in a mock political talk show that's right yeah yeah uh and now that went on to become 84 acting credits seven writing credits eight producing credits four soundtrack credits including possibly the only person who can adequately capture the wonder that is launchpad mcquack on the ducktales reboot um now if anybody could do a live action ducktales that would be him i would love to see uh actually a darkwing duck reboot and bring back beck as launchpad but uh not you can only dream yeah yeah well you know disney plus is going to need to mine that content eventually um but yeah so he went on to marry jesse hodges another actor and they have a child together born march of 2022.Track 3:[6:03] Well, I definitely miss him on SNL. Yeah. He was somebody that became, like really grew into his role, I felt. And I really enjoyed him. And I also enjoy our friend Thomas Senna, who is in the conversation room with Kirsten Rajula right now, getting ready to teach us more about Beck Bennett. Matt, are you ready for that? I am looking forward to it. Well, let's get right to it.Track 4:[7:00] Alright, JD, Matt, thank you so much. Hey guys, welcome to another season of the SNL Hall of Fame podcast. I am joined today by, like, we had to kick off the season of discussions with just, like, an all-timer guest. So we're talking about all-timer nominees. Every week we talk about all-timer, you know, people from SNL history.Track 4:[7:25] I had to kick it off this week with an all-timer guest. So joining me for the first discussion of Season 6 for our first nominee is the one, the only, the lovely world traveler, Kristen Rahula. How's it going, Kirsten? It's great. What an intro. Thank you very much. And I didn't know this was the first. Oh my gosh. It's lovely to see your face and hear your voice. Yes, I've been traveling, and yes, I'm excited to be talking about SNL once again with some of my favorite people, the other super fans. And this episode is going to be great because we are talking about someone truly, truly deserving and who is so much fun to talk about because they are in everything. Yeah, right. Yeah, exactly. Like ubiquitous right there with, of course, Beck Bennett, who's our nominee to kick off season six of the SNL Hall of Fame. Kirsten, so I like to do the plugs at the top of the discussion, the way this is formatted. So do you have anything? What's going on in Kirsten's world lately? Well, for people in the Toronto area, my bestie and I do an event series, and it's intergenerational storytelling, female voices. So if you're in the Toronto area, it's generationwomen.ca. Please come and listen to women of all ages tell beautiful stories. It's a really fun event, and we would love the support.Track 4:[8:54] Yes, that sounds awesome. Yeah, go check that out. Also, listen to Kirsten. You're probably going to be a panelist, I assume, for Saturday Night Network's coverage on Season 50? Heck yeah. Yeah, check us out on the Saturday Night Network, where we also cover all things SNL with an even larger group of superfans. That is also a fun one, so check that out. They have shows multiple times throughout the week. Yeah, yeah. I love hearing Kirsten pop up, whether it's a hot take show or the roundtables. Yeah, I love hearing Kirsten pop up. So check her out on the Saturday Night Network. But today we were chatting about our first nominee for season six. That's the one, the only Mr. Beck Bennett. So a little bit of the CliffsNotes here before we kind of get a dig into Beck's SNL time. When he was a freshman in college, he met Kyle Mooney. They started doing sketch and improv together. It was at USC. They were part of Good Neighbor, along with Nick Rutherford and Dave McCary, Mr. Emma Stone himself, Dave McCary. Beck was in a run of AT&T commercials in which he interviewed children. Do you remember these, Kirsten?Track 4:[10:13] No, because I'm in Canada. I was wondering. That's why I asked. I don't know what kind of TV y'all get up there. They don't have AT&T, so yeah, I wouldn't have seen it. But I'm going to look them up. Okay, yeah, so it was a series of commercials. He sat there. It was like a circle of children. He would ask them different questions, I think pertaining to phone service or something like that. So that's where I knew Beck. So when he got on SNL, I was like, oh, there's that guy from the phone commercials. That's crazy. He does sketch comedy. Okay, let's see what this is about. out uh so yeah yeah you need to go youtube some of those at&t commercials and you'll see beck put on his his commanding voice like like like he liked to do on the show um so he was making a nice career for himself when he got the call so september of 2013 he began his snl tenure along with his good neighbor cohorts along with kyle mooney debuted uh right then too so kirsten like what were any initial impressions you may have had uh of beck bennett when he first kind of got on your radar. What'd you think of him?Track 4:[11:17] He's one of those people, it's a little hard to separate all of the characters he plays with who I imagine he is in real life. I picture him as the kind of failure-to-launch jock at your high school read. But I know he's probably not. He's wonderful, I'm sure, and a very smart, smart man, because clearly someone has got to be intelligent to pull off the kind of nuance and range that he does. But it's fun to think of him as that man-child that he always was, bit of a douche, often befuddled, making the wrong choices. Like you love him but you're like shaking your head so he at the beginning kind of very quickly started to establish himself as like fitting into those slots you saw him play a dumb kind of doofus dad typical middle-aged white guy and he did all of those things with enthusiasm so.Track 4:[12:12] While some people start off kind of awkward and they're trying to tentatively find their way at SNL I wonder if it's because he had Kyle with him yeah that they really jumped into it and their style of comedy pretty easily and quickly yeah they brought in a lot of good like their good neighbor stuff like those SoCal's like inside SoCal was a good neighbor thing uh you're right like he just played this doofus what I like to call in the comedy realm confidently dumb um yes i think that's like was beck's you know that was his forte in a lot of ways just such a confidently dumb guy like stick into his guns but it's like it's just the wrong way to go and yeah so good at that um delving into his highlights like is there a certain role over his eight seasons that you think he kind of did settle into oh gosh yes again the confidently dumb. Like, where his colleagues, like other folks on the show, would go between, you know, playing a bit of a dumb-dumb, but then also.Track 4:[13:22] You know, they could play like a rocket scientist. He was typically, which is funny because I just said he has range and I still think he does, but he typically was in the kind of befuddled, even like a Mitch McConnell, he was kind of blubbering. Right. And so he, yes, he always nailed that. I'm the last one who gets the joke, but I'm going to laugh as confidently as the person who told it. Yeah. He brought that spirit to so many things. It, even when it was him doing the SoCal stuff or, you know, kind of playing teenage or child roles with Kyle, always kind of a bit of a doofus. Yeah, yeah. So he was that he also was able to play like, sometimes kind of more of a straight dad kind of character.Track 4:[14:10] Usually when he played a dad, it was like from some sort of angle, like a downtrodden dad or a dumb dad or something like that. But he, man, he settled so nicely in his eight seasons. Indispensable, in my opinion, toward the end there, I think. Absolutely. Like a real cornerstone of the cast. And a combination of physical comedy, absurdity, but then also subtlety. Like there were really small choices that he made that...Track 4:[14:43] Or what brought those kind of doofus characters to like the way he'd hold his face or kind of you know the intonation certainly kyle was the you know crown wear of intonation and flat affect but he was right there with him so a lot of a lot of subtle things that they did so it's funny because at one point he's playing you know office boss baby and he's you know flinging his limbs around but then he can also just with one kind of slack jaw do something completely different right right Right. Yeah, that office boss, I want to kind of start getting into his actual work. And that baby boss, he debuted that in his first season. I think he might have auditioned with that, it seems like. But it was Mr. Patterson, baby boss. Like, was it the physicality of Beck? Does it totally shine through instantly, Kirsten? A hundred percent. Yeah, he ended up doing that four different times. Sometimes, the creepiest one was with Cameron Diaz because they were actually talking about relations and her giving him a bath in the kitchen sink and that they were going to try and make a baby or they were pregnant. It got a little awkward there. I think they were pregnant. Yeah, a little awkward. Well, I'm not worried. You're going to be a great mother. Come here, you.Track 4:[16:06] You. Could we maybe just do a little toast here? Congratulations. A toast. Oh, look at that. A lemon. Been meaning to try one of these. Cheers. Mm, it's good, it's tart. But I like that they kind of put him back into other situations, you know, in the office and, He nailed it. Anyone who has spent a time around a toddler, baby or toddler, instantly is taken back to the way that they fumble with objects, the way they are amazed by holding something up in front of their face, distracted.Track 4:[16:53] The way they move around, slide downstairs. There is like it's such a studied performance which sounds hilarious to say but if you know you know he nailed that baby he nailed that damn baby character so well and it was such an interesting yeah yeah he's trying to give high fives oh my god the keys to distract him trying the lemon like there are so many little moments and it's such a weird concept but it worked and you know it did I did feel at times if they had, you know, they had like a Josh Hutcherson and they had Cameron Diaz and people that they're not always building a sketch around.Track 4:[17:31] Picking on Josh a bit, but that he would, you know, be the character of and they kind of put those other folks in reaction to him was a great sketch for that to happen. And if you needed to support that type of host. Yeah he always he he had that great timing and he knew how to deliver and he almost played against himself uh as you alluded to where where he would uh as the boss he would speak very like boss like like try to be commanding and he would say things that were commanding but then he would do and say things one second later of course that were baby like so beck got that he was able to shift back and forth between like oh we're so we're so proud we're going to be uh we're expecting we're going be raising a family and then he sees a lemon and it's like oh i've always wanted to try one of these and then let's appreciate how tough it would be like to the duality of those two things.Track 4:[18:26] Acting like a baby, but sounding like a CEO. Yeah. That's just weird and wild. And I don't know that we all are appreciating how darn tough that would be. Yeah, yeah, definitely. I think this was probably the first character, certainly first recurring character that got attention for sure. You could go check out, that's early Beck in like season 39 and on. So that was like the baby boss. um what else uh with Beck kind of like shows what what what we started the show off of in terms of like his role and everything you know what I do notice is a lot of my favorite things about him, were pre-tapes which says nothing negative about any of his non-pre-tapes but I noticed that a lot of things I loved were pre-tapes and I mean this is the era of Vine like it's the era of people documenting things in video format. And I think him and Kyle having come up on kind of written, taped format, like SoCal and all these things, that really was where they were strong. One particular character that is also with Kyle were those sitcom parodies. We saw those in season 39, was a cut actually, with the Andrew Garfield one, Wings. And then we had season 40, We had Bad Boys with Chris Pratt. And then in season 43, we brought it back when it was Beers with Larry David.Track 4:[19:55] These sketches, they appeal to a certain type of person who can appreciate these. I'm one of them. Did you get Full House up in Canada? Yes. Okay, I was just checking. Full House, like a TV show? Yes, yes. You said you never saw it back in AT&T, so I had to check. Well, we just don't have AT&T. Fair. Yes. These sitcom parodies, everything about them, yes, much like those interstitials, like they've just cut to a castle, they'd cut to B-roll of Loch Ness Monster, like the most random silly things, the laugh track, the clap track, like all of these things, even how they would say, let's, let's, I need to talk to you privately. And they'd move one step up to the right. Everything had a moral or a lesson. It was very corny. They were pretty amazing.Track 4:[20:57] What is that sound, and who do I have to pay to make it stop? I'm practicing my clarinet for when my cousin CJ gets here. Oh, yeah. Think he'll be able to take care of our fish when we go on our bike ride tomorrow? I hope so. CJ loves fish. Great. In the meantime, do you mind taking that thing outside? Hey. Hey. Those, I feel like, are something that perhaps they brought to the show that they had tested and played with prior to as an idea. And we saw it a few times. I would take 10 more, by the way. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, the Bears one with Larry David got oddly dark. So that was, yeah, that was really funny. I rewatched the Chris Pratt one, the Bad Boys one as well. All those like Full House, Family Matters kind of tropes, like just using, so it's one of those things where like, So you would watch Full House, right? And then they would do like, it was almost like a three-minute skit. And it would involve like Michelle or somebody sitting at the dining room table just eating a cupcake. And the cupcake was going to be like a parable for a lesson that they were going to serve you in like that three minutes. And it made no sense to the story before or after.Track 4:[22:15] They just nailed it so hard. Like you can tell, I think they probably did, you know, as a comedy team. Before they got to SNL, they'd been working together for six years. So you can tell that that was built up over six years. As somebody who spent a lot of time in Southern California, I'm from New Mexico, but I've spent a lot of time in SoCal. Those inside SoCals were like spot on. Like the intonations with Beck and Kyle and even Jonah Hill when he would come on. Like they just played those SoCal guys perfectly. Ever encountered a SoCal guy like that? I'm familiar with the archetype. Yes. And you're right. They're so studied. They're so studied. And that's probably why we love them as a pair and probably why they get along so well as a comedy duo and friends is that they are – there's so much discipline and rigor to what they do. Like, again, it comes off as really goofy and silly and fun, but they've clearly done their homework. Tonight we're coming to you live from Keith's dad's condo where he's having a nice little kickback.Track 4:[23:19] All right, so for our top story for tonight is Amanda Byrne's little sister Sarah is moving back home, and I heard she still looks good. I'd go with her for sure. Yeah, me too. Or if I get the chance to. Right. All right, so in other news, me, Andy, Pierce, and Scott, we want to start our own clothing line. All right, so now it's time for Meet the Boys. Let's go, yo! Meet the Boys, the boys, meet the boys. The wardrobe, the script.Track 4:[23:47] Their hair their wigs like everything and then you have someone like larry david and then jonah hill as you mentioned in like other you know great comedic talents who clearly appreciate what's happening and want to be a part of it yeah i know when they went to usc i'm.Track 4:[24:03] Sure they came across guys like that and they're like oh yeah this is fodder we got we're we're characters off these guys yep 100 yeah those inside socal again they they gave they kind of snl did the right thing with kyle and beck like they gave them their playground initially immediately from season one and dave directed a lot of those so those he saw the good neighbor influence uh immediately uh in season 39 um they were a package deal yeah yeah they were but i feel like too like it started off that way but i feel like beck really started carving out his niche like at a certain point i forgot that they were a package deal initially like i always knew them like beck and kyle like of course but at a certain point Beck kind of became his own man to me big time he had a broader appeal like Kyle was almost so good at awkward that it probably or possibly prevented him from playing the everyman because he was you know physically he looked at times a bit nerdier he really leaned into it he was letting his hair grow and he had glasses and stuff where Beck Beck physically could be more like your middle-aged dad in the minivan so that potentially made a bit of a difference yeah uh just the.Track 4:[25:19] Amount of roles that he could play i always.Track 4:[25:22] Thought of them as a pair but then realized how close they were after the fact.Track 4:[25:28] So i didn't know them from good neighbor that is all stuff that i discovered after um and even going back to watch videos like even when they sit together on the couch for interviews they're like 12 year old boy best friends.Track 4:[25:41] Like they're all like climbing on each other and pretzeled. And, you know, there's a closeness and a comfort that is really quite lovely. Yeah. And that's a good point about Beck being the one of the two to have more broad appeal. And then he started, I mean, it was fourth season. They started giving him a lot of really important political impressions, too. I mean, they gave him Vladimir Putin. Now, do I think your new president is perfect? Perhaps not, but don't worry. I'll get him there.Track 4:[26:13] Donald, let's talk his friends. You're not off to a great start, man. I thought you'd be better at this. However, I'm glad to see so many people showed up to your inauguration. Oh, wait. That's the women's march. Here is inauguration. Vladimir Putin's such a stone-faced person in real life. Beck had to find the goofiness. That was an out-and-out caricature, which I think was hilarious that Beck just found something, a kernel of a caricature with Putin. Takes his shirt off, wears the gold necklace, rides in on a horse. And he did that nine times. And to me, they were all great. I always loved seeing Beck pop up as Putin. He would kind of have that, like, swaying. Or how did he move as Putin? Just moving his shoulders? Like, try to, yeah, just something about. off people yeah and he would always talk about that like of course i poisoned him what do you mean like yeah yeah but just to physics you have to find something like some sort of kernel from such a stone-faced person like that so so i really appreciated that and that goes to show that that you don't have to look like the person or sound like the person or so to find an angle on an impression right yes i agree now sometimes looking like a mike lindell or mitch mcconnell.Track 4:[27:40] Also helps but he achieved both in those two because he not only was able to achieve somewhat a similar look but captured their ridiculousness you know mike lindell's manicness yeah and mitch Mitch McConnell's like blubbering, I can't even, how do you, he's just blubbering, no chin goof.Track 4:[28:04] And he captured them both in look, but also in impression very well. He did a lot of impressions. If you look on his page, there are a lot. Did he nail all of them? No, but he always felt like he was game. They felt, I think SNL felt that he's going to find that thread and pull it, as you say. So he didn't always need to look like the person because he was going to find something thing to bring it to life yeah it was like steady-handed commitment too like you gotta be committed to to just sit there for a cold open as putin behind a desk and with your shirt off showing your chest hair and showing beck would have some odd physicality where he almost like had bear-like qualities and you didn't always see that uh in him until until he had wore a tight shirt or something and I'm like this guy is kind of like filled out barrel-chested barrel-chested yeah yeah so you have to have commitment to to show on camera that your barrel-chested self I guess yep yep you know for millions of people yeah big deal he also was willing to look the fool.Track 4:[29:12] And there are several people that do that, but he took it to, like, a real potty level.Track 4:[29:21] One of my favorite sketches is undercover office potty. You need to go to the bathroom, but you have a lot of work to do, and it's all the way down the hall. Yep. We've all been there before. Why don't you check your lamp? Huh? Check your lamp. Whoa. Go ahead. head. Do your business. What do you mean? Use it as a toilet. Oh, now I get it. Introducing the undercover office potty. The only toilet that looks like a lamp. So you can go whenever you want and no one has to know. Just open it up and go to town. It'll be our little secret. Thanks undercover office potty. I did good. This is season 43. It was another pre-tape. It's so silly, but it checks the boxes on all of the things that we've just talked about. He's working, he's, you know, your average generic middle management position in an office surrounded by bland cubicles, and he's got to get the report done. And the premise of this is that he's so busy, wouldn't it be great if he didn't have to walk all the way down the hall to the washroom and could just make use of portable toilets disguised as office components, like your plant holder. Or it becomes even crazier and they are comically oversized.Track 4:[30:49] You know, staplers and such. And clearly the room starts to smell and people start to notice, but he's just so committed to it. And it's a great script, a great, great script.Track 4:[31:04] And just like almost with a straight face, like selling this beyond ridiculous premise. Yeah. That's some of my favorite. And it's lamps, by the way, it's lamps. I knew what you meant. Yeah, you knew what I meant. but yes all of a sudden he's surrounded with all sorts of lamps and the the line like well it wasn't me i used the bathroom all the way down the hall and he just his you know again commitment to you know dumb like as you say confidently dumb so stupid of course people are going to notice but he is owning it until the last possible minute when someone starts actually looking at them yeah absolutely season 43 uh episode 16 you can find undercover office his potty go check that out that was a yeah that's a classic beck one um we had talked about, him playing dads and i love like he would tap into different archetypes of the dad and one of them that i loved um that i think was underappreciated i think i think it just sort of some people didn't get it i noticed like with some online reviews i go to one snl a day which great people, they helped me a lot with just looking at their website and research. But the person who covered Boop It on one SNL day, no offense to them, they clearly didn't get the sketch.Track 4:[32:28] And to me, this is a perfect archetype, Kirsten, of like, oh, I'm going to do this. Downtrodden recently divorced dad that's like at at his rock bottom through the form of a child's an ad for a child's toy but don't get one wrong point it maybe next time jenna.Track 4:[32:53] See who can boop it best and be the boop it boss my turn jenna just went i was after her i think I think it's Tyler's turn, Dad. Tyler, your mom just called. She wants you to go home. She wants you at home. She does? Yeah, bye. See ya.Track 4:[33:07] There's the door, bud. Bye, Tyler. Now that I can actually concentrate, I can do it. Concentration's the name of the game. Listen, is anyone truly equipped to handle young children? No, there's no manual. You get them and you figure it out. I mean, I remember with my son and his friends making gingerbread houses and wanting to just scooch them out of the way and do it better myself. So I think we can all feel kind of close to the notion here, which is let me do it. I can't suffer watching you try to do it. And this is taken to comically new heights with this bop it send off, boop it, which if anyone's ever played it or not, it's a gadget with a variety of buttons on it and you have to hit them as quickly as they illuminate or trigger. I forgot that that was a real thing now that you mentioned it.Track 4:[34:23] With, you know, I think he's drinking in the sketch, too, isn't he? He's like really going off the rails. I love how he just kind of takes a little sip and then he starts playing the game again. Like he has this scotch or something. Yeah. He's rude to the kids. He's like sending them out. All of a sudden, all parenting is out the window. The desperation there. Yeah. Again, you know, as we said, he can play part douche, part, you know, fail or thrive, part man-child. Like all of these things. things there is the alchemy of it represented in you know a dad type yeah he's almost he's trying to impress his kids because he probably feels like his kids look at him as this loser so he found something he's like i could impress my kids by doing this and then he gets addicted because you're right like that's the only thing that he had one of my favorites is when his wife played by heidi gardner picks them up and then she's kind of like have they eaten and then he pauses And she's like, and then he stops and he's like, hold on, baby, let's try to let's let's try to work it out. And she's like, oh, like, hey, like, I almost feel sorry for him in a way like I'm sure he's this loser. And she's that has every right not to be with him. But Beck makes him almost like somewhat sympathetic in a way, but you still get that, like. There's a reason why he's divorced. That's, listen, there are people that stay in those relationships and that's why. Right? Yeah.Track 4:[35:47] Oh my gosh. I think a spiritual successor to that was from the following season with that December to Remember fake ad. Yeah, I loved it. And I think this one was actually well-received because we know those commercials. We know everything. thing so I think this one is actually like a well-received fan favorite like yeah Kirsten did you like this one when you saw it I love it and have we not all at some point looked at the screen during a commercial like this and thought that's not how real life happens yeah if my partner went out and bought an expensive car on their own and surprised me with it which is in every romance novel and oh every hallmark like this is a thing right go get an oversized car yes exactly.Track 4:[36:39] They finally someone has said that's not real life and not only is that the case they then really go into the sub-basement of it's not real life and they expose that he hasn't worked the mom is having affairs the neighbor lent him money the neighbor is probably one of the people having the affairs and so then it blows everything up and we get real, real life.Track 4:[37:25] Your father hasn't worked since last March. What? Yeah, COVID has hit a lot of people hard, and I'm no exception. Nathan, you got fired in March 2019. COVID had nothing to do with it. He probably has a weird attraction to his son's girlfriend. And, you know, it's still got the Christmas or holiday sparkle on it, like, you know, every car commercial we've seen at the holidays, where really are you going to buy a car and try and surprise your partner? That is just not fiscally responsible. responsible yeah it's not being a good partner it was very much it's got to have just been made up by car companies like i don't know anyone that really does that it doesn't happen no it doesn't happen unless you're like a jenner right or a celebrity and then you have multiple cars and who cares but that's not real life yeah yeah and yeah i just love how like just yeah confidently stupid and like he's like no it's okay because of the aper do you mean apr like yeah just like And then like he even looks at his son and I love it. Timothy Chalamet was his son. He looks at his son's like, looks like your old man's busted. And he kind of gave this look like, uh, like almost like a childish sort of. Oh, I love it. Cause he, yeah, he goes like, guess your old man got busted. Like, and he makes the credits to make a face like whatever.Track 4:[38:38] Brilliant. Brilliant. It's probably not the first time that he like surprised her with something dumb. Exactly. He thinks he's going to win. Yeah. That's that confidently dumb. He thinks this is going to save everything. I'm not working, whatever, but guess what? We're going to drive in style. She's going to be so happy. And he's, it's just, he's not making good choices once again. Yeah. To be fair in his defense, if I thought that that Lexus only costs $4,000, I would pounce on it too and surprise my wife. Uh, again, dumb, but yeah. Yeah. It's not that much, babe. That, yeah. Cause that's how much cars cost. Yeah. Oh boy. Oh boy. Again, this is going back to high school reunion. You know, you think you've, you've won and you've got the, the catch of the year and it's, he's a bit of a loser. Yeah. Bit of a loser. Yeah, absolutely. Poor Heidi's relationship. Look at her having to sleep with old Mikey Day neighbor.Track 4:[39:32] Yeah what a great sketch i'm gonna pick up on another kyle mooney partnership because why not and that would be the brothers here's some real physical comedy now they're playing tweens teens, uh seems like 11 would be the age yeah i don't know why i honed in on that yeah because they're They're still self-conscious enough to walk around without pants, probably. So they set up, and they've done a few of these. The setup is, you know, where we see a living room, we've got the host as the dad figure, Cecily as the mom, they're entertaining some guests, and they invite their two young sons downstairs to meet the guests. Beck and Kyle come on down wearing t-shirts and tighty-whities, and they're wrestling sling their way down the stairs, mass chaos, pictures are falling off the wall, and they are not listening. They're clearly in their tussle. And so the dad figure, it was both one time Liv Schreiber, if I'm saying that right, and James McAvoy, who plays a new dad, which they make some fun jokes about, and he sprays them inside with a water hose to calm them down.Track 4:[40:47] And they are being the most obnoxious, competitive... Brother rivalry duo possible how's god into y'all tonight it's his fault he's a loser oh i'm a loser well you're an accident dad tell him no.Track 4:[41:05] Wait what oh my god jared don't do this tell him dad no what's he what's he talking about Oh, God. Okay. Yes, Spence. Initially, we weren't planning on having a second. Why are you telling him this?Track 4:[41:30] The guests are appalled and want to leave. The parents are not phased at all. And it's hilarious because we see them get blasted in the face and body with this water sprayer. That's indoors.Track 4:[41:44] Indoors. which they i think um ad makes a comment about yeah and then in the second one they actually bring out the leaf blower and there's some hilarious physical comedy as their faces are being you know blown away by this leaf blower and you know the hey look at the dance look at the dance like this you know if you have a sibling or clearly you've are probably familiar with this anyways that kind of competitive spirit oh yeah where they're trying to one-up each other um is on full display here it's really funny yeah it's spot on if you've ever been around two brothers around the same age let's say nine and eleven or something like that like this is so spot on oddly competitive you're right like when the one with leah schreiber like yeah they were like made up one of them made up a dance like beck's character made up a dance and then kyle's like no that's my dance and then they start fighting like this is the dumbest thing who cares it's like a little but that's how little kids are is this the dance yeah exactly but i've seen little kids in my life around the same age fight like that and you're just sitting there like god the guy this does this does not matter like why are you guys like this yeah it's just little boys this is hyper little boys like it's it's it's perfect you know if we look at a theme here, they really are creating moments out of very everyday scenarios.Track 4:[43:09] You know, where you have someone like a Will Forte who does really absurd stuff, really absurd, or a Bill Hader and all his beautiful character work.Track 4:[43:21] These, you know, Beck and, you know, Kyle as well, but they really excel at the everyday life situation and scenario and dissecting that and finding the funny in it. Yeah, well, as you put it earlier, it feels studied. All these everyday characters feel so studied. It almost feels like Beck and Kyle, I know they met when they were 18, 19, but it almost feels like Beck and Kyle knew each other when they were both like 11 years old and they actually behaved like this. That's how lived in it feels. Absolutely. I don't know, because Weekend Update, I feel, was that when Beck actually went on Weekend Update as a character, which he wasn't like, I don't think he made his bones on Weekend Update, but I think there are some Weekend Update things that he did that I liked. Have you ever met somebody, Kirsten, who's like, sees the world differently? I just see things a little differently.Track 4:[44:22] Beck playing Jules was perfect to me, another perfect archetype that he nailed. Yeah, I think it's because he plays subtlety so well, it doesn't lend well to Weekend Update. So when he does find a character that is bigger and bolder than that, like our friend Jules, who I could see this character being played by like a Fred Armisen also, then he nails it. It was a little bit too like his theater student, right, where playing in this kind of word salad lingo land where they're saying a lot of nothing. You know, like Jules was asked about economics at some point. He doesn't have an answer to that. Come on.Track 4:[45:09] He's not a free-thinking economist. No, he was frustrating. He's one of those people where you wonder, how do you pay your rent? Yeah. He said that his – at one point he said that his dad invented OxyContin. Oh, God. So I think he kind of slipped that in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he's free to explore the ideas that everybody else is afraid to. But we know somebody like that. I live an hour from Santa Fe, New Mexico and in Santa Fe. That's the archetype There's so many people who are just like I'm a free thinker and I'm a new age kind of you know And they have to tell you that and they have to tell you that just tell me are you gonna watch like the red carpet? Oh, I'll watch and scoff Colin fool. Yes. They all ask who are you wearing? What I want to know is who are you being? I Want to tell every actress I see take your clothes off I want to see what's underneath. Yeah, no, you can't do that, man. That's really bad. Really bad. Society wants to paint them like little dolls, but they should be like the dolls I had as a child, whittled from driftwood with very realistic genitalia.Track 4:[46:23] That feels regional, yes, because I can't say that I know too many people like that or that we have too many parts of Canada like that. But as you describe that vibe down in in those areas i can see them being there for sure it feels it also feels kind of california but it feels like those folks have a lot of etsy stores yeah yeah no you're 100 right selling their dream catchers yeah for sure for sure um yeah so so so i think uh you're right like maybe his style wasn't necessarily like totally i'm just gonna going to shine every week on weekend update like i think a heidi probably shines on update more ego does bobby moynihan probably did a little bit uh more shining on update but yeah something like jules i think if you give him the room to breathe a little bit i think i think uh yeah that was that was his highlight to me uh from weekend from weekend update for sure yeah uh is there anything else that popped out to you well well fun this was fun i gotta say like beck underappreciated and and sometimes i don't know if i overuse but it's just like somebody like him i really think because he was on the cast with kate kate sesley 80 he was on the cast with a lot of like big characters on the cat like but i think beck was always just that almost steady presence so it was It was fun to revisit him and be like, wow, he actually did a lot.Track 4:[47:52] He's in so much that I would have needed a lot more time to rewatch. I wouldn't have to just watch whole episodes to catch everything he's in, for sure. There is one more that I... Re-watch. And that's called First Impression. Another pre-tape, Jason Momoa, season 44.Track 4:[48:17] Melissa Villasenor is his girlfriend, and she's going to introduce Beck, her boyfriend, to her parents who are coming to their house for the first time. So we've got Jason Momoa and Heidi as the mom, and he's feeling very nervous. He's got a new shirt on. As she opens the door and turns around to make the intro, he's not there. And we don't understand why until we realize that he's hiding and he uses a really funny child's voice. That's weird. He was here just a second ago. Well, we can't wait to meet him. Michael! Honey! I bet you can't find me! What? Was that him? What did he say? Come find me! I'm hiding! Michael, stop it. Okay, come out here and meet my parents. Where am I? Honey, what's going on? I think he's just nervous. He really wants to impress you. Why would that impress us? Because he hides a lot. No, he's never done this before. Bet you can't find me. Oh, I bet I can.Track 4:[49:23] This ignites something in Jason Momoa's dad character who takes that as a real challenge, and he starts running throughout the house following the sound of Beck's voice in this really silly, hee hee hee, come find me, I'm hiding. I mean, Melissa's confused, Heidi's confused. Dad is right into this, to the point where he's punching through walls and ripping things apart. As it turns out, Beck has taken off his shirt, greased up his upper body, and has tried to jam himself behind the TV entertainment. Shelf and he is stuck so they have to help him yeah but it ends in a really fun way because, he says something very heartfelt about the lengths he's gone to to try to impress the parents which strikes a chord with momoa and they end up you know basically thinking this is all wonderful but it was so strange again taking a very simple moment meeting the parents, and taking it to a completely bizarre place.Track 4:[50:31] I love it. I can just hear his voice in my head. The hee hee, come find me. Like a little kid or a little elf-like. Like an elf, yes. Not even a kid, you're right. It's like a little elf-like being. Yes. Yeah, no, no, that was perfect. Like, yeah, from like dumb dad character to like kind of well-meaning dumb boyfriend who missed the mark kind of thing. Like, yeah, that was perfect. fit and i yeah i just loved how instead yeah of course like the comedy in it i just love just momoa's character instead of being put off by he's like all right i'll play i'll dance, i'm buying into this premise so let's go and then yeah that was just that was just perfect back right there it was great for momoa too and played against character i think he they even made him look like you know dad bod too he's wearing like a sweater or something, right? Yeah, he had a big cardigan. I think they'd given him like a fake kind of dad bod belly. And he was also fantastic in it. Yeah. I mean, he looked like a boring dad who used to be a professional wrestler or something. Yep, yep, yep, yep. Which is maybe this is part of it, right? Like as you say, he was kind of boring and this kind of reminded him of how crazy he was in his youth. And he was like, right into this game, I'm going to find you. And his competitive spirit was...Track 4:[51:49] Triggered yeah that was great season 44 uh first impression that's the momoa episode that was that was great uh one one other one uh that i want to explore and this ties into kind of a theme when i was thinking about beck is his very last episode um the anya taylor joy episode uh season 46 beck had a great night so he did the sketch the very his very last sketch was him.Track 4:[52:14] As Vin Diesel talking about like the movies and just describing all this stuff and the about the movie going experience the sticky floors the eight dollar bottle of water the nachos the hand dryer in the bathroom that's louder than a choo-choo train the second concession stand that's never been open the little boy at the urinal with his pants all the way down the bird that's trapped inside the lobby it's truly incredible that's right i'm talking about the movies but like almost the chef's kiss like the perfect ender to hit to beck's kind of dumb dad archetype was this one picture with dad so a few years ago there was this uh i don't know dumb kind of uh trend of dads posing for picture pictures with their like daughter's uh prom date holding a gun and the the joke the the joke was supposed to be in real life like he he if this guy does anything my daughter i'm going to shoot him so i love that they just played off that who else could they have gotten other than beck to do this kirsten that's just it this is This is the ultimate send-off because he is playing all of the things we've talked about.Track 4:[53:35] The dumb, confidently dumb dad, definitely a bit of a douche idiot, can't make the right decisions, man-child. Like, he ends up shooting himself in the doink. All right, now scooch together and smile. Okay, one, two. Whoa. Oh, my God. What?Track 4:[53:56] I saw it on the internet. It's funny. Chris, I told you that we weren't doing this. Oh, come on. It's funny. Dad, how is it funny? Well, you know, it's like, hey, mister, you better not try anything or I'll shoot you. And people are doing it. It's a thing, you know? It's like, bang! Dad! Stop. Oh, come on. Relax. It's really quite brilliant. It's a great one. And you're right. It kind of summarized all of these things that we've said about him and that, you know, all of the skills that he has and brings to the table. So it was fantastic I also do like that, Andrew and Heidi are basically keep telling him that they're going to have sex that night. Yeah. Yeah. Not to say, would you, will you promise me that you're not gonna have sex tonight? And Andrew's Andrew just like, um, we will, but sure. Yeah. Yeah.Track 4:[54:46] And 80 is playing the wife, right? And she's got the cooler box with just the pieces of him left.Track 4:[54:53] Anya's playing the OR doctor. Yep. Um, yeah, it was hilarious, man. He's great. Such a perfect, yeah, such a perfect send-off. And they didn't have an official send-off, quote-unquote, for Beck. But between this and that Vin Diesel one, like, what a great last episode. And that made me think, like, I think Beck left when he was at his peak. I think he left on a high note. Like, he was trending upward, almost proving himself to be arguably, he and Kate maybe at that time, the two most indispensable people on that cast. And Beck really did leave. I mean, he could have been on the cast even right now and still had a lot to give. So it was interesting to me that he got better, where sometimes you see cast members kind of like peter out toward the end of their tenure. But Kirsten, to me, I don't know if this is something that when I say it that causes a lightbulb moment, but I think he was peaking when he left. I mean, that's when you want to go out usually, isn't it? Yeah.Track 4:[55:55] I wonder what role he'll play in season 50. Yeah, I was curious about that. Do you think, like, is he the type of former cast member that you think will pop up in season 50 or over the years? Like, will people be clamoring for, like, a Beck Bennett, like, we need to see Beck in season 50 kind of guy? He's underrated. I think much like Taron Kalam, he's probably not going to be asked to host, which is a real shame. I don't agree with it. But those two were both very much glue players. Yeah.Track 4:[56:26] Within their respective casts and both underrated they have some serious fans and if you objectively they were fantastic cast members and have great characters great impressions all of the above so they might pop up in season 50 i don't know that they'd be asked to host and i think he would i would love to see it i'd be pleasantly surprised um but i maybe if he had a big movie come out you know like if something else changed in his post snl career that might make a difference it's kind of sad actually yeah i at least want to see him pop up in some capacity um if at the very least beck doing something on the actual celebration uh the actual 50th celebration oh yes in february yes yeah maybe not host i wasn't like maybe setting my sights that high. But he needs to be back and do something. And I think people will remember like, oh yeah, you know who was a great cast member? Beck Bennett. That's right. Yeah, I mean, too, like thinking about his career, it's been three years since Beck has been off the show. Where do you see his career heading? Is he like a leading comedic actor? Is he better as an ensemble? What do you think the entertainment world could have in store for Beck? I do think it's ensemble.Track 4:[57:53] I can see him in one of many ensemble comedies. I think he'll always get slotted into office-type situations. He's just that character at the office, the confidently dumb guy, or a neighbor. I don't know that he's any type of leading character that way. I think he's a little too funny-goofy. Again, this is not a complaint. No, no, not at all. my take on how I perceive that industry working.Track 4:[58:25] Kind of how Kristen, kind of when she first left, she started popping up in those co-worker type roles. So similar to that. There's also, you know, you look at, I think you should leave and potentially popping up on shows like that and some of the more creative shows that clearly have more control, and are doing some really interesting things. Because he does those characters so well, Well, I think he's just got to find that. Maybe him and Kyle are sitting on a pile of scripts right now. Who knows? They could be doing a whole bunch of stuff that we don't know about. And I do know he does a lot of voice work, I believe, right? That makes sense with that booming voice. Yeah, so he does a lot of voice work, which is a really nice way to earn your pay, right? I thought I heard him on a Buffalo Wild Wings commercial recently. Possibly, yeah. Playing this big buffalo. I watch a lot of sports. And so during March Madness, I swear I heard Beck's voice like constantly yeah yeah I think he does a lot of voice work which you know totally respectable way to pay those bills and and remain in that industry so, maybe I think has he been on a show like bad mouth I feel like those are his people oh yeah oh big mouth yeah did I oh you like all bad mouth yeah big mouth big mouth sorry with the Nick Kroll yep yeah it feels like if he hasn't that he should yes yeah no I could I I definitely agree with that, like more of an ensemble, which we always say, that's not a bad thing.Track 4:[59:53] Not everybody can be Will Ferrell, you know, and just be like this leading man. I think that's a really great thing, and I think Beck has a lot to give the comedy world. For one, I'm excited to see what he does moving forward. So, Kirsten, now's the time. We're now talking to SNL fans, SNL Hall of Fame listeners, the water cooler. Cooler why do you think they should hold beck bennett in high regard when they think about the history of snl all right.Track 4:[1:00:25] Reliability in that ensemble cast is huge. That's why he's in so many. You know, consistently being able to play a variety of roles with that type of range. We talked about the absurd and the subtlety and this really beautiful balance he achieved at all the characters that needed to portray those things. He also dipped his toe in political, which is a huge part of the show. He played pretty important political characters. I mean, come on, Putin, Mitch McConnell, even not important ones like Mike Lindell, who are we even calling him in the political realm? He pops up there. Yeah. The physical comedy, you know, it goes right back to season one, episode one and Chevy pratfalling, right? Like physical comedy is a huge part of what is part of SNL's DNA. And then the writing, you know, he had a great comedy writing partner in Kyle. And I'm sure there were others that I'm not aware of that are the actual writers on the show. But, you know, they were writing great content for themselves. They were dabbling in pre-tape. They were doing great sketch work. So I think that versatility cannot be downplayed. And whether he's underrated or not, objectively, he scores on the scorecard very high.Track 4:[1:01:53] And that has to be recognized and appreciated.Track 2:[1:02:08] So there's that. Thank you so much, Kirsten and Thomas. That was a wonderful conversation, and I was riveted by most of it. I really love the sketches that you intercut in there, Thomas. Some really great choices. I love the two boys that live in the house where they get hosed off by their parents. Those are great. Correct me if I'm wrong. Send me an email thesnlhof at gmail.com and tell me if i'm wrong but was beck's last sketch not the vin diesel parody uh impression impression rather um i feel like that was the 10 to 1 i feel like he he went out on a 10 to 1 the guy was really a tour de force and i enjoyed him a lot, Let's take a look now at a sketch that was alluded to in the episode. It's December to Remember with Heidi Gardner and that week's host, Timothy Chalamet. Enjoy.Track 5:[1:03:18] Hey, Matt, I think there might be one more gift for your mom right there. It hasn't been a normal year, so this Christmas, get her something extraordinary during the Lexus December to Remember sales event. Nathan, you didn't. With flexible financing and 0% APR, there's never been a better time to buy or lease a new Lexus. Merry Christmas, baby. Are you kidding me, Nathan? Did you seriously buy a car without asking me? Well, because for Christmas... This is a major purchase. Right, but it was a December to remember. It's a Lexus. We don't have the money for this, Nathan. We don't? No, we don't. Your father doesn't. Your father hasn't worked since last March. What? Yeah, COVID has hit a lot of people hard, and I'm no exception. Nathan, you got fired in March 2019. COVID had nothing to do with it. Hey, pal, I guess your old man's busted. It's beginning to look a lot like savings, so get to your local Lexus dealer today. How much did you spend on this ridiculous car, Nathan? It was only $39.99 to its signing. Four grand. It's not that much, babe. And how much is the monthly payment?Track 5:[1:04:32] The what? Did you think this entire car cost $4,000? Uh-huh. There's a monthly payment! Yeah, but with the 0% APER, I think it's all good. APER? Do you mean APR? I'm pretty sure it's APER. Wow. Just wow. Hey, come on! It's Christmas! This is good! I did a good thing for us! Let's enjoy it! Dad, it's 9 in the morning! So? It's not like I have work later. Come on! Hey!Track 5:[1:04:59] Hey, neighbor! You bought a Lexus? You come to me three weeks ago. Oh, Mike, help me. I need money. I can't buy Christmas gifts for my family. My wife doesn't respect me. I didn't say that. My wife's cheating on me with everyone. Mom, you are? I want to look cool in front of my son's girlfriend? Ew, Dad, is that why you pierced your ear? Uh, no, I've had this forever. I just need five grand to get back on my feet. And then you buy Alexis? Yeah, well, it was beginning to look a lot better. Like savings at my local lexus dealer i want my money back man tomorrow hey kathy, what does that look you know what we're taking this car back to the dealership now i better drive maybe we stop by jenna's on the way over show this cool car your dad got huh shut up give the gift of lexus and definitely talk it over first.Track 2:[1:05:55] That was great that is just so wonderful at being that confident man and then slowly devolving into like a blithering idiot it's it's fun to watch it's really fun to watch and snl of course is fun to watch and that's why we're here each and every week as a tribute to a show that has stood Stood the test of time. 50 years now. Coming up very soon. Are you excited about the SNL movie, Saturday Night?Track 2:[1:06:32] Are you excited about the 50th season? Are you excited about our new show, SNL Hall of Fame Water Cooler? Send me an email. Let me know. And while I'm asking you favors, would you do me one more?

In today’s episode of Innovation An Endless Pursuit we look at the pursuit of efficiencies and how we can use the technology innovations that are happening across our industry and out in the wider market to provide a faster, cheaper, more efficient service. This episode dives into the hype of the 4th industrial revolution and asks what benefits it might bring. If you’re not familiar with it, the 4th industrial revolution is characterised by the interconnectivity of advanced technology, particularly where we cross the boundaries of cyber and physical and biological. In this episode Chris is joined by three experts at the cutting edge of their respective fields to talk about how the innovations of the 4th industrial revolution like Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain and Robotics are helping both Bristol Water and others in the industry provide more efficient service for their customers. We hope you enjoy listening to this episode and look forward to hearing what you think of it. We’re always looking for help and collaboration on our Quest and if you have any comments or thoughts we’d love to hear from you at innovation@Bristolwater.co.uk. About today’s guests: Dillan Hackett is the Founder of Hackett Consulting Services (HCS), a bespoke Intelligent Automation Consultancy start up. Dillan is self taught in Software Robotics, or RPA, and before beginning his own company, worked for Symphony Ventures, a globally renowned RPA consultancy. It was there that he saw a gap in the market for RPA adoption for mid sized enterprises, using fast implementation models and by fostering self-sufficiency for clients; so in 2018 he launched HCS, with the help of Bristol Water’s business incubator ‘The Workshop’. Since then HCS has used The Workshop to help grow its employee and client base. HCS has recently been recognised as a Silver Partner of the RPA Vendor UiPath. Dan Atkins is the founder and CEO of Sonix Software, a software company based in Cardiff. Prior to Sonix Dan spent 10 years at Microsoft and a number of years consulting for financial institutions. His first project was actually readying the Bank of Ireland for Y2K if you remember that scare. He founded Sonix 4 years ago to concentrate on Gap software: filling technology needs where standard products don’t fit. Today Sonix employ 8 developers and Dan spends his time running the Research Team or training their upcoming chatbot, Theodora. Sonix are also a new member of the Bristol Water incubator. Nick is a forward thinking technology leader, a Teaching Associate at Warwick Business School and the founder of the Bristol Technology Showcase - creating a new discussion forum for the implications of the 4th Industrial Revolution and emerging technologies. Nick has been providing Technology Transformation services within the utilities industry prior to which, he spent 18 years in the automotive industry.

Making a movie is like making a good stew. Sure, that may not be the first analogy you’d jump to while racking your filmmaking ethos, but for Robert Schwartzman director of The Unicorn, one of 2018’s best comedies, it just makes sense. Every good stew requires fresh ingredients. Your cast and crew are the meat and potatoes. But that stew can't just be about the ingredients. Without the proper mixture, it would just be a bunch of vegetables. You've got balance them out in a way so the flavors come together as a harmonious whole. And that’s the real job of the director. They’re the head chef. The captain. If you walked onto the set of a truly great chef, you'd find yourself in a sacred place that exudes the right collaborative energy. Perhaps the simplest way to achieve this is by treating everyone with the same level of respect, making sure every actor on set knows every crew member, how they contribute to the cooking process, and vice versa. Schwartzman erases the divide between the cast and crew, and focuses on the fact that everyone is just a person, working together to create something great. When you hear how Lauren Lapkus, Nick Rutherford, Maya Kazan and Darrell Britt-Gibson speak about their director in this podcast, you'll gain a better appreciation for just how important maintaining this type of atmosphere is. No Film School producer Jon Fusco sat down with them at SXSW 2018, for a conversation that is often hilarious and consistently insightful.

Was the live-show's audience tight? Were the new jokes a little too rough? Did host Christian Spicer do a poor job "setting the table" for a great show? Regardless, the post-show discussion is fantastic and might be the best yet. Listen to the sets of new material from Christian, Leo Flowers (The Kevin Nealon Show), Rajan Dharni (IMPRO(vs)TANDUP, NCCAF), and Nick Rutherford (Fox's ADHD, Comedy Central), and then the awesome post-show discussion and decide for yourself.
