That Show Hasn't Been Funny In Years: an SNL podcast on Radio Misfits
Nick takes a deep dive into one of the most chaotic and heavily criticized seasons in Saturday Night Live history: Season 20, also known as The Bad Boys Club Season. Following the departure of core cast members like Phil Hartman, Rob Schneider, and Julia Sweeney, the show found itself leaning hard into the rowdy, often crude humor of Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, and David Spade—while sidelining much of the female cast, including Janine Garofalo, who left midway through the season. The cast was bloated, the writing uneven, and the press relentless. Nick walks through the entire season with behind-the-scenes stories, including how Jeff Daniels nearly suffered a serious makeup mishap, why Dan Aykroyd unofficially hosted instead of the listed John Goodman, and how the writers struggled with brilliant hosts like Bob Newhart, John Turturro, David Hyde Pierce, and Courtney Cox—while completely losing control during hosting gigs by George Foreman and Deion Sanders. Despite its rough reputation, the season had its moments: Norm Macdonald took over the Weekend Update desk, Molly Shannon made a strong debut halfway through, and both Damon Wayans and Dana Carvey returned to deliver some much-needed highlights. You'll also hear Stuart Smalley hilariously scolding the public for ignoring his movie, and Bill Murray delivering a moving tribute to the late Michael O'Donoghue. It's a full look at one of SNL's messiest, most fascinating seasons—flawed, but unforgettable. [Ep 122]
Before he was deemed “the Glue” by his castmates at Saturday Night Live, Phil Hartman worked as a rock ‘n roll roadie and a graphic designer. He created album covers for the bands Poco and America, as well as the logo for Crosby, Stills & Nash. He did those things as a card-carrying member of the peace and love movement. A movement that was infamously disrupted by the Manson family, a ragtag group of hippies gone evil that just so happened to include one of his former friends from high school. A friend who would later attempt to assassinate an American president. A friend who helped steer sunny California into an age of darkness. A darkness that, for Phil Hartman, led to secrets, blackmail, guns, and ultimately, a murder-suicide. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including suicide.

This week, we turn the spotlight on Dennis Miller, one of Weekend Update's most iconic and polarizing figures. Joining host jD and regular contributor Bill Kenney is Deremy Dove (Pop Culture 5 Podcast), making his case for why Miller deserves enshrinement in the SNL Hall of Fame.From his sardonic delivery to his cultural relevance in the late '80s and early '90s, Dennis Miller helped reshape what Weekend Update could be—and arguably saved it during a chaotic SNL transition period. Whether you loved his razor-sharp wit or found his obscure references head-scratching, there's no denying his impact on SNL's legacy.

In this episode of Hit Rewind, hosts Michael and Tony embark on a nostalgic journey through five decades of Saturday Night Live, picking their top ten favorite cast members from the iconic sketch show. From the indelible charisma of Phil Hartman to the comedic dynamism of Kate McKinnon, they discuss the talents that have shaped SNL's legendary status and share personal insights on why these performers stand out. Tune in as they reminisce about legendary sketches, the impact of key cast members on the show's evolving style, and how different comedic voices have kept SNL fresh throughout the years. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the show's legacy, this episode offers an engaging look at the comedians who've defined generations of humor.
Robin Wilson has been a defining voice in alternative rock for over three decades as the lead singer of Gin Blossoms. With hits like Hey Jealousy, Found Out About You, and Follow You Down, his music became the soundtrack to a generation that continues to resonate today. But beyond his success with the band, Wilson's journey is filled with incredible stories that span music, pop culture, and personal milestones. In our conversation, he shared memories of meeting his ex-wife on MTV's The Jon Stewart Show and having Jon himself get ordained to officiate their wedding. He also reflected on his experiences at Saturday Night Live, getting to play that stage with a number one single on the radio, meeting and hanging with Phil Hartman, and his life as a father—including watching his son carve out his own path in music. We also covered his Arizona roots, his collaboration with Marshall Crenshaw on the soundtrack to Empire Records his work with The Smithereens, and the thrill of getting to front for KISS. On top of that, he's an avid gamer, something I wasn't expecting, but we do a deep dive into classic and modern games. Whether he's touring, recording, or exploring new creative outlets, Wilson remains as passionate about music as ever. For him, that's what all of this is about. This conversation offered a look at not just an artist, but a storyteller with a career full of unforgettable moments. Enjoy!

Jingle All the Way (1996) Directed By: Brian Levant Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sinbad, Phil Hartman, some other ho ho ho'ers I don't think he needed money, but Arnold put out some real stinkers in the late 90's. I think things were really shitshitsville after True Lies, but even the period between Termintator 2 and True Lies were some low times. In that "after True Lies" time frame came "Jingle All the Way", where Arnold is a shit dad that promised that brat from The Phantom Menace a Turboman figure, so he has to fight Sinbad to get it. IMDB has this to say about it: "A father vows to get his son a Turbo Man action figure for Christmas. However, every store is sold out, and he must travel all over town and compete with everybody else in order to find one."

“In general, magazine profiles are to biographies as inland lakes are to oceans,” writes the late entertainment journalist and ghostwriter Bill Zehme in The New York Times best-selling Carson the Magnificent. “Far less sprawling and easier to navigate.” This is true—and readers need look no further than Zehme's latest (and last) book, completed posthumously, for confirmation. Zehme, who collaborated on memoirs with Jay Leno and Regis Philbin and was a frequent contributor to Esquire, Rolling Stone, Playboy, and Vanity Fair, worked on his Carson biography for over a decade, before a cancer diagnosis and ongoing treatments halted his progress. When he died in 2023, The New York Times cited “Carson the Magnificent” in his obit as one of the entertainment world's “great unfinished biographies.” Enter podcast guest Mike Thomas, Bill Zehme's former research assistant and longtime friend, who was tapped to complete the project, which was an immediate New York Times best-seller upon its publication last month. “Everything I needed (and so much more) was there, somewhere, stashed in long-unopened binders and torn envelopes and dusty bins,” Mike Thomas writes of this collaboration. “It was mostly a matter of sifting through the stockpile, extracting and sorting the relevant material and reaching out to a handful of Bill's sources, all of whom were eager to help, for further illumination. But I've never lost sight of the fact that, despite my contributions, this is Bill's book.” The book, Mike says, has been a blessing, gifting him the chance to keep connected to a close pal with whom he can no longer communicate directly—a mentor who cheered him on during his own career as arts and entertainment features writer at the Chicago Sun-Times, as a regular contributor to Chicago magazine, and as the author of two critically-acclaimed books of his own—The Second City Unscripted and You Might Remember Me: The Life and Times of Phil Hartman.

On this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, we watched the The Second Civil War, a 1997 satirical film directed by Joe Dante for HBO. Starring James Earl Jones, Elizabeth Peña, Denis Leary, Beau Bridges, Phil Hartman and James Coburn, The Second Civil War takes place in a future where rapid, unlimited immigration has produced a balkinized society of ethnic enclaves. California is essentially been re-absorbed into Mexico and Rhode Island is home to millions of Chinese migrants. When an international relief organization makes plans to bring Pakistani refugees into Idaho, the state's governor, played by Beau Bridges, orders the its national guard to close the borders, sparking a stand-off with the federal government. As both sides escalate, Americans start to choose sides, with other western states joining Idaho in its pushback against Washington.Eventually, the war of words becomes an actual war, as shooting starts between the U.S. Army and the various national guards now allied with Idaho.As viewers, we see all of this unfold through the eyes of a news network, whose anchors and reporters are on the scene, covering developments as they occur.The tagline for The Second Civil War was “A Very Uncivil Comedy.”You can find The Second Civil War streaming for free on YouTube.Our next episode will be on The Saint, the 1997 thriller adapted from the television show of the same name, directed by Phillip Noyce and starring Val Kilmer and Elizabeth Shue.And don't forget our Patreon, where we watch the films of the Cold War and try to unpack them as political and historical documents!

I can say in all honesty that today is a momentous occasion here on the podcast! Why do I say that? Because today is the culmination of a nearly 20-year journey to hold a very special book in my hands. It's titled, Carson the Magnificent, and it's the long-awaited biography of one of my entertainment heroes, the late Johnny Carson. For those who aren't very familiar with Johnny Carson, he was the host of NBC's Tonight Show for 30 years, from 1962-1992. They called him “The King of Late Night” because he ruled the late-night airwaves for decades. When Johnny Carson retired from the Tonight Show in 1992, at the top of his game, he famously went into his retirement cave and rarely came back out except for a few public appearances in the years afterwards. That's why it was such a big deal when the writer and journalist Bill Zehme was able to score an interview in Esquire magazine in 2002, ten years after Carson retired. It was the only formal interview that Carson had granted since his retirement. A few years later, Carson agreed to let Zehme write his full biography. The book was announced, and he went to work on it. Then the years crept by and the book never came out. Zehme got cancer, which obviously stalled progress on the book. Then he passed away last year with most of the book written, but still incomplete. Over the years it had become known as one of the great unfinished biographies, almost achieving legendary status, but not for reason that Zehme or the publisher wanted. But then earlier this year, nearly 20 years after Zehme started work on the Carson biography, Simon & Schuster announced that Chicago writer Mike Thomas would be taking up the reigns of the book and completing Zehme's work. This was the perfect match because Thomas was a well-established entertainment writer, as well as a friend and former research assistant of Bill Zehme. You have to understand how excited I was to see this announcement earlier this year. This is no exaggeration: for the last 20 years, every 6-8 months I would try to find some little scrap of news about the book. That's how excited I was. So when I saw that Simon & Schuster was still going to release the book, I was over the moon. Which brings us today. I knew the book was coming out on November 5, so a few weeks ago I got in touch with Mike Thomas to see if he'd be interested in talking about the book here on the podcast. He graciously agreed, and with the help of Anne Pearce, the Associate Director of PR at Simon & Schuster, we arranged this conversation. So that's how this conversation came about. It's more backstory than usual, but I thought it might be interesting for listeners. Let me tell you a bit about my guest! Mike Thomas is the author of two critically acclaimed books, The Second City Unscripted: Revolution and Revelation at the World-Famous Comedy Theater and You Might Remember Me: The Life and Times of Phil Hartman. He spent more than fourteen years as an arts and entertainment features writer at the Chicago Sun-Times and is a regular contributor to Chicago magazine. He lives in Chicago with his family. In this conversation, we dive into all sorts of topics related to Mike, his writing career, and of course the book that brought us together, Carson the Magnificent. Our conversation topics include: How he knew he wanted to be a writer. How he became acquainted with Bill Zehme in the 1990s. Why Bill struggled to finish the Carson book. Mike's process of taking Bill's work and seeing it to completion, and what it was like to pick up the writing mantle from someone else. Mike's advice for people who want to begin or expand their career as a writer. Many thanks to Mike Thomas for an engaging and inspiring conversation! If you love Johnny Carson or entertainment biographies, you'll love Carson the Magnificent. And if you're a ghostwriter, editor, or biographer, you'll love the book even more because it's a perfect example of telling someone's story without getting in the way. In this case, Thomas had the double task of telling two stories: Caron's life story, and the story of Zehme's journey to complete the book. My hat is off to a job well done!
David Letterman once said about Bill Zehme, "...he was also emblematic of that era when profile writers were often cooler than the people they were profiling. Whenever he interviewed me, I tried inhumanly hard to impress the guy..."Bill was a good friend for most of the 30 years I've been in Chicago and Carson was foundational in our relationship. On this episode I talk with one of Bill's best friends, Mike Thomas, who worked with Bill for years. Mike has been a great writer at the Chicago Sun-Times forever and he's authored two terrific books of his ownWhen Bill died, Mike was the absolute best choice to finish this bookOf course we talk about Carson but we spend time detailing the run of the GOAT, Bill Zehme, as wellGet the book and share this new episode of LIVE FROM MY OFFICESHOW NOTESYou can contribute to this 100% rated organization on charitynavigator.org, Colon Cancer Coalition.The works of Bill Zehme are too numerous to list, Google him and buy them all!*Mike Thomas also wrote the books we list below...get them too!The Second City Unscripted: Revolution and Revelation at the World-Famous Comedy Theater.You Might Remember Me: The Life and Times of Phil Hartman.Subscribe to Live From My Office on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.Follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn.Win an ABT gift card by emailing me three of your friends emails who you think would like the show, and include your mailing address in the email.

On this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, we watched the 1997 thriller The Devil's Own, directed by Alan J. Pakula and starring Brad Pitt and Harrison Ford.In The Devil's Own, Pitt plays Frankie McGuire, an IRA soldier who travels to the United States to obtain advanced weapons for the fight in Ireland. He is put up in the home of NYPD Sergeant Tom O'Meara, played by Ford, who does not know McGuire's mission. The two develop an easy rapport and McGuire becomes a part of O'Meara's family, of sorts. When McGuire's mission begins to intrude on the O'Mearas, however, the relationship — along with the family's safety — is threatened.The tagline for The Devil's Own was “One man trapped by destiny, and another bound by duty. They're about to discover what they're willing to fight, and to die for.”You can find The Devil's Own available to rent or purchase on Amazon and Apple TV.For the next episode, we will watch “The Second Civil War,” 1997 HBO film starring Phil Hartman. You can find it on YouTube.And don't forget our Patreon, where we watch the films of the Cold War and try to unpack them as political and historical documents!

Another unusual podcast. Jennifer begins by talking about her meeting over at United Talent Agency where they're talking with her about doing some shows... and then spoke about her "uncorked event" in Manhattan Beach last Monday. We then spoke about a book she's been reading that on the back cover talks about someone meeting Jimi Hendrix on the flipside - someone who has shown up often in our sessions, whether in the books BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE or TUNING INTO THE AFTERLIFE. (People who report being greeted by him on the flipside included Janis Joplin (who left the stage a few months after him) by Charles Grodin who saw him as a talk show host, by John Lennon who saw him waiting for him onstage to play "Blue Suede Shoes." Also Harry Dean Stanton said he was playing at the Monterey Pop festival, and later Fred Roos said the same about seeing Jimi on the flipside. Everyone recognizes him. I was at a screening of a new film called "Rebel With a Cause" a documentary about the late great actor and humanitarian Charles Grodin. It's a terrific film with interviews of Robert De Niro, Martin Short, Steve Martin and others. Jennifer hasn't seen the film, no one has seen the film, but Charles was able to answers questions about the screening and about the content of the film. Then a number of people stopped by to talk about the film, about how they all get to watch the film because people they know in our group of the flipside were in attendance, and by connection, so were they. Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse (both answer questions), Heath Ledger - as well as Paul Allen, Junior Seau and Dave Duerson - who were reminding Jennifer this morning about how "oxygen therapy can help with brain trauma" - in reference to fellow football player Brett Favre announcing he has Parkinson's. I'm sorry I didn't get to everyone. I like to point out that people can talk to them if they take the time to ask them questions and wait for the answers. The answer might not be verbal, they may be visual. Another mind bending session - and it ends with a conversation with Phil Hartman - someone Jennifer didn't know, but who Charles Grodin was instrumental and helping to get an audition with his friend Lorne Michaels, who cast him in the SNL show. Phil talks about seeing Belushi on the flipside, and about his reaction to seeing Charles Grodin as well. It's all mind bending, but that doesn't stop us from sharing this information. Hope it helps.
And on this week of 7DS we are profiling, perhaps one of the bigger tragedies to the comedy corner of the entertainment world, was the shocking murder of Phil Hartman, beloved SNL actor, voice on the Simpsons, household name, an every man, but a legend.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
By 1998, Phil Hartman was a household name after a successful run on Saturday Night Live and several movies. He married his third wife, Brynn, in 1987. Brynn had aspirations to be a model and an actress, but her career never took off like Phil's. Few could have believed that the couple's lives would be ended the way that they were.Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the murder of Phil Hartman. On May 29th, 1998, successful actor and comedian Phil Hartman was killed by his wife, Brynn Omdahl, in a tragic murder-suicide case. They appeared to be a happy couple to outsiders, but those in their inner circle knew they fought often and had tension in their marriage. But what exactly went so wrong for this tragedy to occur?You can help support the show at patreon.com/truecrimeallthetimeVisit the show's website at truecrimeallthetime.com for contact, merchandise, and donation informationAn Emash Digital productionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Phil Hartman married for a third and final time in 1987, and while the marriage was quite rocky, he and wife Brynn Omdahl had two children together. What Phil didn't know was that once they were together, they were both on a tragic countdown that would culminate in Phil's murder and Brynn's death by a self-inflicted gunshot wound in the early morning hours of May 28, 1998. Phil Hartman was just 49 years old. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more? Join us at patreon.com/trashydivorces!

Comedy legend Phil Hartman spent many, many years establishing himself as a performer before he joined the cast of Saturday Night Live and became an icon. His talents weren't just visible on stage; behind the scenes, he was known as a generous colleague who was as at home in a supporting role as he was starring in a sketch. But his home life was never sanguine. In this Part One episode, Alicia introduces the young Phil Hartman, his early career, and his first two marriages, both of which ended in divorce.
