| 5/12/26 |  Not Ready for Season 6 Preview | Well, the time has arrived!! The Not Ready for Prime Time Project is tackling the infamous Season 6 of Saturday Night Live! For such a big task, the guys have asked Thomas Sena and Deremy Dove from Pop Culture Five Podcast to host this season. So many changes happen for Season 6, starting with Jean Doumanian replacing Lorne Michaels as the new executive producer. We also have a whole new cast and writing staff as well! This season is one of the most controversial—yet important—in S... | 57m 29s | ||||||

| 3/10/26 |  Bill Swerski's Tournament Talk: Best Bits of SNL's Original Era | As we bring our look back on the first five years of SNL to a close, we rounded up some of our favorite and most knowledgeable guests for a very special Tournament Talk. Together, they help us discuss and debate the “Best Bits” of Saturday Night Live’s original era. Five years, over one hundred episodes, and a countless number of sketches, performances, and moments get sifted through as we look to pick out the very best. From iconic impressions and classic characters to memorable Weekend Upda... | 1h 59m 37s | ||||||
| 3/3/26 |  The Early Years of SNL: Season 5 Recap | Well, we made it! Season Five of Saturday Night Live has come to an end. Brad and Gary look back and discuss what they liked (and didn’t), what they learned, and what surprised them from the final season of SNL’s original era. They pick their favorite hosts and musical guests, rank the best (and worst) episodes, and – of course – pick their Best Bits of the season. In addition, they highlight forgotten and underrated moments from the season as well as try to agree on who it was that pic... | 56m 38s | ||||||
| 2/24/26 |  The Early Years of SNL: S05E20 Buck Henry/Andrew Gold; Andrae Crouch, The Voices of Unity (5/24/80) | It’s the end of an era. Saturday Night Live brings the original era to a close as Buck Henry (naturally) hosts the season finale of Season Five. Andrew Gold (it’s okay, you can ask “Who?”) and Andrae Crouch with The Voice of Unity are the musical guests. The show leans into the “will they or won’t they be back” elephant in the room often throughout the episode – from the monologue right up to the goodnights. In between, Buck gives another solid performance as host, we get to say goodbye... | 1h 11m 57s | ||||||
| 2/19/26 |  My SNL Story: Marc Shaiman | Marc Shaiman has won a Tony award, two Grammy awards, two Emmy awards, and has been nominated for seven Oscars. Unsurprisingly, after a career spanning over 50 years rubbing shoulders with the "who's who" of entertainment he is not at a loss for stories to share. In honor of his hilarious new memoir, Never Mind the Happy: Showbiz Stories From a Sore Winner, we talked with Marc about a brief, but pivotal, section early in his career – Saturday Night Live. Beginning as a freelance performer dur... | 54m 35s | ||||||
| 2/17/26 |  The Early Years of SNL: S05E19 Steve Martin/Paul & Linda McCartney, 3D (5/17/80) | Steve Martin returns to host SNL for his 8th time. He won’t return to the show (aside from a memorable cameo) for over 6 years. Perhaps it was because of the deer outfit they had him wear? Steve hosting Saturday Night Live gets overshadowed by one of the very few people who could pull off such a feat at the time – Paul McCartney. Hiding out in London after his public drug bust, the ex-Beatle was supposed to open the show. But, due to the time change, a mix-up ensued and the runner about getti... | 58m 24s | ||||||
| 2/12/26 |  Bill Swerski's Tournament Talk: Favorite SNL Olympic Moments | With Saturday Night Live off for a few weeks due to the Olympics, we thought it would be fun to get some friends together to debate our “Favorite SNL Olympic Moments.” That’s right, Tournament Talk is BACK. Sadly, Bill Swerski is not. From John Belushi up to the recent SNL51 Olympic pre-tape, our panel of SNL superfans discuss, dissect, and debate the best Olympic sketches, pre-tapes, and bits from the show’s 51-year history. Will your favorite Olympic moment from SNL history make the list? T... | 1h 30m 18s | ||||||
| 2/10/26 |  The Early Years of SNL: S05E18 Bob Newhart/The Amazing Rhythm Aces, Bruce Cockburn (5/10/80) | SNL finally gets comedy legend Bob Newhart to host the show, and we finally get back together for a “live” episode. In honor of being in the same room, we try something a little different and record immediately after watching each bit. This episode of Saturday Night Live is famous for not having a lot of material, with only four live sketches (in addition to the cold open). The show doesn’t stray far from the host’s strong suit, but is that a good thing? We’re not sure. But one thing that is ... | 57m 25s | ||||||
| 2/3/26 |  The Early Years of SNL: S05E17 Strother Martin/The Specials (4/19/80) | Just when you thought Season 5 of SNL might have thrown in the towel, it delivers one of THE BEST episodes of the season! Host Strother Martin knocks it out of the park – whether carrying a sketch or simply in a supporting role – and the veteran character actor delivers in all night long. The writing is smart, the performances are on point, and the laughs are plentiful. You don’t even have to be familiar with what the show is satirizing to get the jokes (as one of us shamefully is calle... | 1h 07m 08s | ||||||
| 1/29/26 |  My SNL Story: Andy Aaron | While the average SNL fan might not know Andy Aaron by name, they almost certainly know his work—his short films have been showcased on the show several times. His most well-known, "Push Button to Cross Street," was featured in Season 7 and shows an unknowing Tom Davis accidentally push the wrong button and cause a building to collapse. But Andy's connection with Saturday Night Live goes way back. His friendship with Chevy Chase predates the show and his first short film was one of the best p... | 51m 55s | ||||||
| 1/27/26 |  The Early Years of SNL: S05E16 Burt Reynolds/Anne Murray (4/12/80) | Not all episodes of SNL are created equal. Some of them…well, they just miss the mark. That is a polite way of describing Burt Reynolds’ hosting of Saturday Night Live’s late Season Five entry. This episode is well-known for the difficulties it had finding material for the host and it shows. Much of what was delivered manages to offend early and often. And, Burt pretty much plays Burt this episode regardless of what the name of his character is and doesn’t seem to be having too much fun doing... | 52m 42s | ||||||
| 1/22/26 |  My SNL Story: Matt Neuman | Veteran comedy writer Matt Neuman, whose story starts all the way back in the early 70s, joins us today to share his SNL story. He talks about the creation of his own sketch comedy show, The Chicken Little Show (where Father Guido Sarducci made his television debut 6 years before appearing on Saturday Night Live), working with a pre-SNL Al Franken & Tom Davis, and putting together a TV pilot with Rob Reiner. All this led him to work on the Emmy-nominated Lily Tomlin special where he would... | 1h 10m 03s | ||||||
| 1/20/26 |  The Early Years of SNL: S05E15 Richard Benjamin & Paula Prentiss/The Grateful Dead (4/5/80) | SNL makes history as Richard Benjamin returns to host – this time with his wife Paula Prentiss – to be the first husband/wife team to ever host the show. In honor of the occasion, we did the only thing that seemed right – dragged our wives onto the show to talk about this episode. Unfortunately for them, this is a weird episode of Saturday Night Live to walk into – not bad (not at all), just weird. Especially if you haven’t been following the show up to this point. While bo... | 1h 00m 59s | ||||||
| 1/13/26 |  The Early Years of SNL: S05E14 - Saturday Night Live's 100th Episode (3/15/80) | Milestones are supposed to shine. SNL’s 100th did something stranger: it skipped a host, stacked cameos, and unintentionally made flogging history when Paul Shaffer became the first person to drop the F bomb during the live broadcast. For the first time, Saturday Night Live goes without a proper host, relying instead on a slew of cameos. From Michael O’Donoghue and John Belushi (twice!) to Ralph Nader, Michael Palin, and NYS senator Daniel Moynihan - apparently NOT related to Bobby - who pops... | 1h 25m 43s | ||||||
| 1/6/26 |  The Early Years of SNL: S05E13 Rodney Dangerfield/The J. Geils Band (3/8/80) | Throughout the storied history of SNL, one constant move has been booking hot stand-up comedians to host the show. And in early 1980, there were very few hotter than Rodney Dangerfield, who having already cameoed once in Season 4, comes ready to play. Unfortunately, he isn’t given much to play with. The highlight of this episode just might be the monologue, where Rodney shows why he is one of the best. After that, there are a series of sketches that run the gamut from questionable to tired to... | 1h 01m 15s | ||||||
