 Award-winning radio personality, podcaster, and SNL fanatic/historian NICK DIGILIO hosts this weekly deep dive into the world of the granddaddy of all sketch-comedy shows. Nick, a Second City grad and veteran of Chicago comedy and theater, has watched every single episode of SNL since George Carlin hosted the premiere on October 11th, 1975. Consisting of new and old episode analysis; SNL-relates guests; historical impact; and even entire episodes dedicated completely to just one sketch…this is every SNL fan’s dream podcast, and proof that that tired, cliched statement: “That show hasn’t been funny in years,” is simply NOT true.Nick Digilio / Radio Misfits Podcast Network アート

    That Show – The Cold Open
    2025/08/13
    Before the monologue, before the music, it all starts with the Cold Open. Nick looks back at the iconic opening sketch format that has kicked off nearly every Saturday Night Live since its debut. From absurd beginnings like “feeding your fingertips to the wolverines,” to sharp political parodies featuring Tina Fey as Sarah Palin, Will Ferrell’s George W. Bush, and Amy Poehler’s Hillary Clinton, the Cold Open has always set the tone. Nick revisits six standout segments, sharing behind-the-scenes stories and context, all leading up to that legendary line: “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!” [Ep 136]

    That Show – Drunk Uncle
    2025/08/06
    Nick uncorks a deep dive into one of Saturday Night Live’s most chaotic and beloved characters: Drunk Uncle. Created by Colin Jost and Bobby Moynihan, and hilariously portrayed by Moynihan, Drunk Uncle stumbled his way through a series of gloriously incoherent rants on Weekend Update. Whether he was griping about millennials, politics, or why everything used to be better, his politically incorrect tirades somehow remained laugh-out-loud funny. Nick shares stories behind the creation of the character, including Moynihan’s own insights into how Drunk Uncle came to life. He also pulls back the curtain on some behind-the-scenes moments and plays back some of the most outrageous segments, complete with colorful commentary. Expect classic cameos too, like Aaron Paul as the twitchy “Meth Nephew” and John Goodman as the even sloppier “Drunker Uncle.” It's a booze-soaked tribute to one of SNL’s weirdest and most memorable creations, and a celebration of Bobby Moynihan’s comedic genius. [Ep 135]

    That Show – The Girl You Wished You Hadn’t…
    2025/07/30
    Nick takes a hilarious stroll through one of SNL’s most unforgettable Weekend Update staples: The Girl You Wish You Hadn’t Started a Conversation With at a Party. Brought to life by Cecily Strong, the character is a perfect storm of chaotic energy, social cluelessness, and half-formed outrage, all filtered through a haze of phone-checking and wildly misguided opinions. The episode dives into how this brilliantly jumbled creation came to be, with behind-the-scenes insights from Strong’s record-breaking 11-season run. Nick shares some lesser-known facts about her surprise sketch with Reese Witherspoon, who loved the character enough to crash the party as her equally unfiltered best friend. There’s also a breakdown of The Girl’s most memorable rants on topics like elections, the holidays, and the coronavirus. You’ll also hear about how Norm Crosby’s old-school malapropisms and the lovable wreck that is Drunk Uncle played into the DNA of the character, even becoming the father of her child. It’s a fun and nostalgic look at one of the greats to ever take the Update desk. [Ep 134]
