    Off Week 53: Fridays - Tab Hunter/KISS (Jan. 15, 1982)

    Off Week 53: Fridays - Tab Hunter/KISS (Jan. 15, 1982)

    It's time for Fridays once again and this time, we've got William in tow! To get the full scope of this one, we needed two separate versions of the episode but it's all worth it just to see that magical moment when Rich Hall bombs harder than anyone has ever bombed in sketch comedy history. Elsewhere, we really run the gamut with this one: some classics and some outright duds (some possibly never seen since they originally aired). It's Fridays and we wouldn't have it any other way.

    Episode 126: John Goodman/Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (April 10, 1999)

    Episode 126: John Goodman/Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (April 10, 1999)

    No, this isn't a rerun. This is just the tenth time John Goodman is hosting the show in as many years but thankfully, it just may be his finest outing ever. Join us as we explore this intensely dark outing from the last few months of Adam McKay's reign over the show and maybe, just maybe, learn a little something about family.

    Episode 125: Nancy Kerrigan/Aretha Franklin (March 12, 1994)

    Episode 125: Nancy Kerrigan/Aretha Franklin (March 12, 1994)

    It's time for another infamous episode and thus we'll need the combined forces of both Arthur Meyer AND Jon Schneider to help us get through this one. Despite being a huge ratings boost for the show at the time, this one has long been since viewed as one of the  worst episodes of SNL...but is it ALL bad? Join us as we see if there's anything to salvage from this notorious bomb.

    Episode 124: Willie Nelson (Feb. 21, 1987)

    Episode 124: Willie Nelson (Feb. 21, 1987)

    For the first time in a long time, we're jumping to the next episode in chronological order from our last one and why not? It's Willie Nelson doing double-duty with some backup from special guest Danny DeVito! Join us as we untangle this mellow, laid back entry into the annals of sketch comedy history.

    Episode 123: Bronson Pinchot/Paul Young (Feb. 14, 1987)

    Episode 123: Bronson Pinchot/Paul Young (Feb. 14, 1987)

    It's Valentine's Day over at the ol' SNL factory and that means we gotta break out the big guns. Not only do we get a host way out of his depth with Bronson Pinchot and the middling musical stylings of a one Paul Young but we've also got model Paulina Porizkova in tow and of course, because it's S12, a little smattering of Buster Poindexter as well. It don't add to much at all so thankfully, we've got a live copy from Hawaii to give us a little bit of something to dive into.

    Episode 122: Jon Hamm/Michael Buble (Jan. 30, 2010)

    Episode 122: Jon Hamm/Michael Buble (Jan. 30, 2010)

    What's this? William Ham and Eddie Ham appearing on the show to discuss an episode hosted by Jon Hamm?! That certainly sounds whimsical indeed! Join us as we struggle to sort the present from the past with an episode that is good but is also kinda bad and misses a few key moments and we rant and rave. It's fun!
