  • Summary

  • 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.

  • That Show – Cut For Time

    That Show – Cut For Time
    Jan 1 2025
    Not every sketch makes it to air on Saturday Night Live. Some are cut after dress rehearsal due to time constraints, rewrites, or because they bombed—or were just too bizarre for live TV. In this episode of That Show…, Nick dives into some memorable sketches that were "cut for time" and never made it to the live broadcast. The talent behind these lost sketches includes J.K. Simmons, Bill Hader, John Mulaney, Anya Taylor-Joy, Will Ferrell, Paul Mescal, and more. Topics range from St. Patrick’s Day mishaps to a racist old man, a TV show about empowerment gone wrong, and an old-timey prospector tasked with leading troops into Afghanistan. Some are weird, some miss the mark, and others are absolutely hilarious. You’ll find out why these sketches were cut and hear them all on this episode. [Ep104]
