| Episode #42 - Timothée Chalamet / Bruce Springsteen (with Nick Bihm) | 14 Dec 2020 | 01:46:16 | |
Timothée Chalamet has a famous aunt and uncle who got him into LaGuardia Airport but this week's guest, Nick Bihm of the "Dan4Lyfe" podcast, joins us entirely based on merit. Listen as Nick shows the gang his SNL Google doc which includes his favourite Kenan Thompson sketches. Generally everyone liked this episode of SNL which means no one knows quite what to do with themselves. Along the way there's a big digression about All That and The Amanda Show, as well as speculation as to whether or not Max Weinberg and Questlove chatted during the goodnights about what it was like to be the bandleader for the 12:37 NBC "Late Night" franchise. All the featured players got some solid roles last night, including Andrew and Punkie who have been gasping for airtime, if you will. So that was nice. We wish all our listeners a Happy Hanukkah and hope you join us again next week for our farewell to 2020 episode! | |||
| Episode #41 - Jason Bateman / Morgan Wallen (w/Sean Patrick O'Brien) | 08 Dec 2020 | 01:29:21 | |
Did you miss us? Yeah didn't think so. The Featured Players return to talk Jason Bateman with special guest Sean Patrick O'Brien of Seltzercast and the new documentary 'Introducing...Juan Wauters'. Everyone has some choice 4 letter words for Morgan Wallen, Sean reminisces about how things on SNL were just a little bit simpler back in his day, and Brendan makes an embarrassing confession about laughing at one of Michael Che's Update jokes. But what you'll REALLY want to know is which Jason Bateman movie young Bram attended the world premiere of. It wasn't Office Christmas Party, but we sure talked a lot about that movie considered JB was not on the show to promote it. No one mentions Ozark. See ya next week! Stream 'Introducing...Juan Wauters' on NoBudge.com | |||
| Episode #32 - Larry David/Miley Cyrus #TakingTheKidsToMySMILFS | 21 Sep 2020 | 01:21:41 | |
Original Airdate: November 5, 2017 Brendan & Bram proper return to chat the 2nd Larry David episode of SNL. We waste no time turning the show into a shrine to Showtime’s new comedy SMILF, followed by all the goodness you know and love. This ended up being a banner show for new Featured Player Heidi Gardner and we’re pretty excited about it. 0:30 – SMILF 5:30 – Me, Myself and I Pulled and CBSTalk 14:00 – Larry SNL Talk Begins 15:05 – Paul Manafort Cold Open 19:00 – Alec Baldwin’s Week 20:30 – Monologue 25:20 – The Price is Right 30:00 – Argument Regarding using Alec in Sketches 33:50 – White House Press Conference – Confident 38:20 – Career Retrospective 42:00 – Baby Steps 45:30 – Weekend Update 51:00 – Listener of the WeekL Justin Gardner 52:10 – Fresh Takes ?? – Luke Null Update 57:50 – New Wife 1:01:00 – Beers 1:06:00 – Looking Ahead to Tiffany Haddish and Chance the Rapper 1:12:20 – Can Seth Meyers Host Soon? 1:15:30 – Jim Jefferies, Jordan Klepper Check-ins and Late Night Ratings Follow @BrendanDNoel @ReelBramz @FeaturedSNL | |||
| Episode #31 - Kumail Nunjiani/Pink (with Taylor Cotter) #DriveTimeRadioShow | 21 Sep 2020 | 01:29:20 | |
Original Airdate: October 17, 2017 Brendan & fan favorite Taylor Cotter (host of the podcast Reese's Pieces, about the works of Reese Witherspoon) review the Kumail Nanjiani hosted episode of SNL. It was a banner showing for Luke Null, or was it just a random white guy extra?
| |||
| Episode #29 - Ryan Gosling/Jay-Z (with Beth cameo) #Null&Void | 21 Sep 2020 | 02:06:33 | |
Original Airdate: October 2, 2017 Bram & Brendan return for Season 43 of SNL, or Season 3 of The Featured Players: An SNL Podcast. Bram's first episode recording with a dog in the room. He got a dog! Ryan Gosling is the host of the premiere, all for the purpose of unveiling 3 new Featured performers: Luke Null, Heidi Gardner & Chris Redd, joining still Featured Players Alex Moffat, Mikey Day and Melissa Villasenor. It's Fall TV time and that makes a good episode of Podcast Television. That's right, podcasts are TV too. 3:00 - General Premiere DIscussion 7:00 - The Deuce/Disaster Artist 11:30 - Bram's New Dog Casper 17:00 - Cast Member Memorial: Bobby, Sasheer, & Vanessa 19:00 - Me, Myself & I vs. Other Post SNL Careers 31:00 - Darrell Hammond - Chicago Tribune piece 38:00 - Sasheer 43:00 - Mikey and Alex Domination / New Featured Players Discussion 1:01:00 - SNL at the Emmys 1:08:00 - Jordan Klepper's New Show 1:11:30 - Show Coverage Begins 1:12:00 - Cold Open - Alec Baldwin in the Chaos President 1:17:50 - Monologue 1:23:00 - Alien Encounter Return 1:28:30 - The Fliplets 1:30:00 - Weekend Update 1:34:00 - Brendan reviews It and Kingsman 2 1:42:00 - Bram reviews American Vandal 1:44;00 - Beth shows up 1:46:00 - Henrietta and the Fugitive 1:50:00 - Italian Restaurant / Pizza Hut Casper sits in 1:53:00 - Papyrus 1:56:30 - Dive Bar 2:01:30 - Wrapup and Future Hosts The Darrell Hammond piece in the Tribune http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/ct-darrell-hammond-snl-donald-trump-20170930-story.html Follow @FeaturedSNL @BrendanDNoel @ReelBramz | |||
| Episode #28 - Melissa McCarthy/Haim (with Beth Benderoff) #DontTrustThe'B'onAmericanIdolonABC | 21 Sep 2020 | 02:03:53 | |
Original Airdate: May 16, 2017 Melissa McCarthy get inducted into the 5-Timer's Club. Bram and Brendan do SNL business for the first hour of the podcast and then Beth showed up to talk about the breaking news stories of NBC's Fall schedule and a broad conversation on the new shows for the second hour.
| |||
| Episode #27 - Chris Pine/LCD Soundsystem (with Beth Benderoff) #LikeAKissingBooth | 21 Sep 2020 | 01:23:31 | |
Original Airdate: May 9, 2017 We're back after a long 2 month absence, which for some reason was only 3 episodes? The first ever Featured Players situation of a guest recording in the same location as a host! Beth Ann Benderoff (formerly Goodin) rejoins the podcast in a worthy earning of a 5-timer title. We pretty much forget that Chris Pine hosted and talk about Gong Show's Tommy Maitland for hours and hours. | |||
| Episode #26 - Octavia Spencer/Father John Misty (with Lyndi Malley) #AmericanLaughRiot-UpAllNight | 20 Sep 2020 | 02:11:41 | |
Original Airdate: March 7, 2017 We are back after a month! Episode 25 got lost in the 'This Is Us' crock pot fire (thank you Taylor Cotter for participating). It will be lost forever, and now we have 26. Hosted by Octavia, of the Spencer's Gifts empire. We invite Melynda Malley back to the show, after a 51-week absence to talk Chris Kattan, conspiracies featuring the cast of Making History, Detroiters, Maya & Marty, and that sweet sweet SNL. Have a listen.

| Episode #24 - Kristen Stewart/Alessia Cara #CashMeOutsideHowBowDahFeaturedPlayersSpeedRound | 20 Sep 2020 | 01:18:56 | |
Original Airdate: February 7, 2017 It's been over 8 years since Twilight has been available on iTunes, and somehow Kristen Stewart is just now hosting. Bram and Brendan break down this Roller Coaster of a show. Is this a Donald Trump episode? You bet. It's a short one for us too because we had recorded a half hour before my recording software decided to crash.

| Episode #23 - Aziz Ansari/Big Sean (with Beth Goodin) #CrashChicago&OtherDeservingBestPictures | 20 Sep 2020 | 02:07:49 | |
Original Airdate: January 22, 2017 Beth's back, Aziz Ansari's finally hosting the show, making him the first South Asian to do so. It's a real good show. Subscribe and review on iTunes. Twitters below. @BrendanDNoel @ReelBramz @FeaturedSNL | |||
| Episode #22 - Felicity Jones/Sturgill Simpson #ShowAboutNothing | 20 Sep 2020 | 01:28:58 | |
Original Airdate: January 15, 2017 Bram and Brendan have a disagreement over Sonic Drive-Thrus. Bram 'Boy Meets World' shames Brendan and all on the eve of Inauguration...of The Young Pope! Felicity Jones hosted this week's SNL, which was unanimously thought of on the podcast as a 'nothing episode'. 4:15 - Trump Tweets SNL 7:35 - Trump Press Conference Cold Open 15:25 - Felicity Jones Monologue 25:10 - Beard Hunk 30:00 - Shondra and Malik 34:30 - Theater Donor 40:55 - Princess and the Curse 43:00 - TV Talk: The Young Pope 46:15 - Susan B. 48:10 - Trump Tweets John Lewis 50:35 - Joe Walsh Update 53:25 - Weekend Update 59:40 - Fandango: Movie Interview 1:05:00 - Corporate Retreat - SNL END 1:11:50 - Conan O'Brien Weekly Transition??? 1:20:15 - Netflix's One Day at a Time Review 1:27:00 - Outro Subscribe and review on iTunes.

| Episode #21 - Casey Affleck/Chance The Rapper (with Bode Sulaiman) #AQuarterWaytoSyndication | 20 Sep 2020 | 01:48:48 | |
Original Airdate: December 21, 2016 2 timer Bode Sulaiman returns for our 21st episode on his actual 21st birthday. I am not kidding, Bode very happily spent his 21st birthday with us talking about Casey Affleck of all things, and it just happened to be Episode #21. Wow. What a world.
| |||
| Episode #40 - John Mulaney / The Strokes (w/Skylar Verduzco) [ELECTION 2020] | 03 Nov 2020 | 01:51:05 | |
Skylar Verduzco (@MisnamedPlants) joins the panel to chat all things John Mulaney. Everyone is very sad that NBC’s Connecting was cancelled. There is also an election happening when you’re reading this probably. Or maybe it already happened and you’re in a better place than we currently are. Hopefully not a worse one. We just want you to be okay. Call us if you need anything.

| Episode #20 - John Cena/Maren Morris (with Shak Lambert) #F*ckAdamSandler | 20 Sep 2020 | 02:23:18 | |
Original Airdate: December 12, 2016 We made it to 20 original episodes of The Featured Players and still no profit margins! Look at em' go. We've brought in guest Shak Lambert (@ShakExcellence) who is a qualified wrestling expert we have called in specially to evaluate John Cena's performance. To our surprise he is just as knowledgeable about the past life of Mikey Day. Rundown below.
| |||
| Episode #19 - Emma Stone/Shawn Mendes #CulturalPodcastsofSNLforMakeBenefitGloriousCityofPickering | 20 Sep 2020 | 02:20:49 | |
Original Airdate: December 6, 2016 Someone do something, there is an 11 minute tangent about Borat and Bruno in this podcast. Oh, Emma Stone hosted SNL, Bram & Brendan do a regular podcast without a guest. It was late at night and Brendan was sleepy and you will hear him mentioning it a lot. Arby's also comes up.
| |||
| Episode #18 - Kristen Wiig/The XX (with T.J. Slipko) #BuffaloNYis4Lovers | 20 Sep 2020 | 02:17:16 | |
Original Airdate: November 21, 2016 We break our female streak with T.J. Slipko to discuss the Kristen Wiig special alumni episode of SNL. We have some thoughts! T.J. Slipko has been long awaited on our program, and you can hear him say "skit" instead of "sketch" and then apologize for it every time. This is good for all those that like Buffalo/LA/Toronto references.

| Episode #17 - Dave Chapelle & The Election of Donald Trump (with Frannie Comstock) | 20 Sep 2020 | 02:10:05 | |
Original Airdate: November 16, 2016 Donald Trump is going to be President. Arguably SNL played a role in normalizing Donald Trump when he hosted just over a year ago.
| |||
| Eouside #16 - Benedict Cumberbatch/Solange (with Beth Goodin) #3IdiotsPraiseMasterofDisguiseforTwoHours | 20 Sep 2020 | 02:17:21 | |
Original Airdate: November 9, 2016 Three Idiots Praise The Master of Disguise for Two Hours With recurring guest Beth Goodin, we recorded on Sunday to talk about Benedict Cumberbatch hosting SNL. He was surprisingly great in a mixed bag of an episode. Donald Trump also won the Presidency on Tuesday. I'm sure we talk about the election but we definitely didn't know he would win, so don't bug us if we don't mention it.
| |||
| Episode #15 - Emily Blunt/Bruno Mars #LittleMosqueonThePodcast | 20 Sep 2020 | 01:56:53 | |
Original Airdate: October 18, 2016 We are nearly as tired as the cast 3 weeks into a new season, but that doesn't mean we don't keep putting out that sweet, sweet content. In these times before the US election, the two Canadian SNL fans come off as semi-smart for once trying to be serious and relevant. We're okay at it. We also talked about an Emily Blunt hosted episode of SNL! Check out the breakdown. 9:10 - Trump's SNL Thoughts, Cold Open & Political Discussion Subscribe to The Featured Players: An SNL Podcast on iTunes and leave us a review. | |||
| Episode #14 - Lin Manuel Miranda/Twenty-One Pilots (with Taylor Cotter) #10YearStudio60Retrospective | 20 Sep 2020 | 01:11:53 | |
Original Airdate: October 10, 2016 Guest Taylor Cotter (@TaylorCotter) of @PostShowRecaps fills in for Bram. Brendan and Taylor discuss Lin-Manuel Miranda's appearance on the second episode of the season. If you like what you hear from Taylor and are a fan of general comedy, you might want to check out her brand new 30 Rock 10th Anniversary Podcast available on iTunes through Post Show Recaps. 2:00 - Hamilton/Monologue Talk 6:30 – Cold Open 12:00 - SNL's Racial Status 24:50 – Campfire Sing-along 29:30 – Crucible Cast Party 34:05 – 'Dead Poets Society' Teacher 40:05 – Weekend Update 49:50 – The Music Man: Wells Fargo 54:00 – Diego Calls His Family 56:45 - Stranger Things 1:03:10 - Melania Moments 2 1:05:25 – Degree of Valor 1:07:50 - Wrap-up Subscribe to The Featured Players: An SNL Podcast on iTunes and leave us a review.

| Episode #13 - Margot Robbie/The Weeknd (PREMIERE) #SeekingaNewCohostForTheEndofheWorld | 20 Sep 2020 | 01:17:10 | |
Original Airdate: October 4, 2016 Premiere week! Bram and Brendan are confined to a single room and are forced against their will to review the 3 latest Featured Players and how they did in their debuts. Willingness may have a margin of error.
| |||
| Episode #12 - Season 42 Preview & Fall TV #TurntWashingtonsSpys | 20 Sep 2020 | 01:41:06 | |
Original Airdate: September 27, 2016 We're back! Season 42 is a week upon us, and Bram & Brendan return to dish out the sweet sweet season info. Info like: cast departures/arrivals (its like an airport but for comedians), upcoming hosts, and we talk about the Fall TV season as well. We are happy you decided to give us a chance, even though you'll regret it.
| |||
| Episode #11 - CW's Mad TV Revival (with Beth Goodin) #MoCollinsNoProblems | 20 Sep 2020 | 02:14:36 | |
Original Airdate: August 15, 2016 Mo Collins No Problems, y'all. We're back for our second summer stint, this time with 2-timer Beth Goodin and she's here to help us celebrate our complete traitor mode in covering CW's Mad TV revival full-time. It's pretty messy, so strap in and listen to us talk about this show you probably haven't thought about in 7 years, having to cope with surviving in the ever-exceedingly connected world.
| |||
| Episode #39 - Adele / H.E.R. (with Deirdre Crean) | 28 Oct 2020 | 01:56:32 | |
Should we give up, or should we just keep chasing podcasts? Musician/dental assistant’s friend Deirdre Crean from the Mike Myers Movie Club stops by to talk about the Adele-hosted SNL. Deidre explains if and how Adele gets paid for singing her own songs on television, Beth reveals the Oklahoman equivalent of a skyscraper, Brendan drops obscure architectural trivia for some reason, and Bram teases the listeners with an epic song parody idea that he will not go into further details on. Plus, just in time for spooky season, everyone has way too strong of an opinion on how to pronounce the title of the movie “Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later”. Whether you’re in Bad, Iowa or Nothing, Kansas, it’s important to vote for Joe Biden on November 3rd. That’s it. No punchline. The world is burning and democracy is on life support. | |||
| Episode #10 - Ghostbusters & Emmy Nominations (with Christian Becker) #AllGrimersMatter | 20 Sep 2020 | 01:57:03 | |
Original Airdate: July 20, 2016 Hi Ho! Cherry-O, its finally Episode 10 of the very underwhelming Featured Players podcast. We've made it far enough to reach our first episode that does not directly focus on SNL, however, Leslie Jones (a current Featured Player) and Kate McKinnon (a current cast member) happen to have starred in Ghostbusters reboot which we have seen! And we talk about it! Invited on the show to join our two-timers club is Christian Becker (Twitter: TheAmazingBeck), whom is actually the guest on our most popular episode ever. The Emmy nominations also came out this week and that is also discussed. I have time-coded things so you don't have to be bored, but if you are a diehard (you are), you're gonna want to consume all this tasty CONTENT to your heart's content.
| |||
| Episode #9 - Fred Armisen & The Do-Over & Maya & Marty #OurWorstPodcastEver | 20 Sep 2020 | 01:40:30 | |
Original Airdate: June 9th, 2016 Better late than never. Bram & Brendan are back (on NBC) for their very late and very brief discussions of the Fred Armisen hosted finale of SNL, and what this means for the general status of The Featured Players. We come to an ultimate conclusion that you'll have to play to find out.
| |||
| Episode #8 - Drake (and Fall Upfronts) #AlisonTolmanandaDogFighttheCrimeofInternalDemons | 20 Sep 2020 | 02:24:27 | |
Original Airdate: May 16, 2016 It's the Drake episode but in the end we go full TV Nerd and spend around 90 minutes talking about the Fall upfronts.
| |||
| Episode #7 - Brie Larson/Alicia Keys (with Bode Sulaiman) #DeanEdwardsisnotJeffRichards | 20 Sep 2020 | 02:03:36 | |
Original Airdate: May 9. 2016 The good ol' boys are back and obviously we have forgotten how to podcast. No matter, we have invited Bode Sulaiman - a gem among us, to chat about Brie Larson's episode and the current state of the Featured Players. Oh yes, the Rudnitsky judgement days are coming, and we have 2 more weeks before it all becomes clear. Fun times to pay attention to our tangential babbling.
| |||
| Episode #6 - Julia Louis-Dreyfus/Nick Jonas (with Beth Goodin) #ShamProbs4MyRealFriends | 20 Sep 2020 | 01:57:53 | |
Original Airdate: April 18, 2016 The host was comedy god and SNL alum Julia Louis-Dreyfus. We welcome Beth Goodin from The Adios Amigos to the Featured player gang, and she was a great guest. 20 minutes on Weekend Update! Brendan realizes he is the problem. Opinions vary. This was a good Pete episode and not good for anyone else in the gang. Here is the breakdown.
| |||
| Episode #5 - Russell Crowe/Margo Price (with Christian Becker) #ThePodcastersvsJonRudnitsky | 20 Sep 2020 | 02:04:56 | |
Original Airdate: April 10, 2016 Brendan is back in action after spending literally a month away from the show. Bram is there too. The guest is Christian Becker who is a Kenneth the Page at CBS and he is also a very funny and knowledgeable SNL fan. It's another good show. Here's how it played out.
| |||
| Episode #4 - Peter Dinklage/Gwen Stefani (with Rob Trench) #Rudnitshe'sAreStandingBy | 20 Sep 2020 | 01:04:02 | |
Original Airdate: April 2, 2016 And we're back after not releasing any episodes during hiatus. Brendan had to sit this episode out (since he talks too much) so Bram called on Rob Trench to sit in this week. We're talking all about the Featured Players on the Peter Dinklage episode of SNL. The historical Featured Player this week is Jenny Slate (09-10).
| |||
| Episode #3 - Ariana Grande (with Lyndi Malley) #WhoIsThePatter | 19 Sep 2020 | 02:02:51 | |
The good ol' Featie boys, Bram & Brendan, are back despite popular demand, ready to over-analyze the Saturday Night Live Featured Cast once again, and this is another disappointment in terms of those 4 Golden kids. Time to shake things up - the first guest on our show is none other than the incomparable Melynda Malley of The Adios Amigos podcast. Melynda, Bram & Brendan match wits in a battle of American rudeness, Canadian politeness and passive-aggression. Listen/subscribe to Lyndi's show on Soundcloud or iTunes. https://soundcloud.com/theadiosamigos

| Episode #2 - Jonah Hill/Future (In Defense of Emily Owens, M.D.) | 19 Sep 2020 | 01:24:29 | |
Original Airdate: March 5, 2016 The boys are back in town. That being Bram and Brendan are finally ready to comment on a regular episode of SNL. The host today is Jonah Hill and here are some topics that come up.
| |||
| Episode #1 - No. 8 White Boys (Pilot!) | 19 Sep 2020 | 01:38:19 | |
Original Airdate: Feb 25, 2016 Holy Chalupa! Us terrifying TV nerds may have created the 7th or 8th SNL podcast, therefore this will establish some ground rules. Each week we'll focus on the Featured cast members, and for our first episode we discuss both the Repertory Cast (04:15), and the Featured Cast (28:30). We announce a recurring segment (1:00:57), have an in-depth discussion about Fuller House & #PeakTV (1:05:46), and quibble over the prospects of Deadpool hosting SNL (1:28:05). Have a hoot and please clap. | |||
| Episode #38 - Issa Rae/Justin Bieber [w/Kid Cinema (Fesh) and Mr Movies (JZT)] | 19 Oct 2020 | 01:17:59 | |
Jean-Bram and Jean-Brendan continue in their search for Drake, this time joined by JZT and Fesh (Mr. Movies & Kid Cinema) from the "I Was Scared, Too!" podcast.
It's a good ol fashioned podcast foursome in which the gang discusses how the politics of SNL don't necessarily align with its behind the scenes leadership, whether or not Andrew Dismukes could get typecast as miscellaneous delivery men/messengers, and why Michael Che is weirdly obsessed with prison jokes. We recorded this a few hours before it was announced Adele is next week's host, so listen to find out which Muppet we hoped would be next week's host and which WWE star we KNEW it would be. All that plus, which featured player is winning the all important mom demographic? Listen to find out!!

| Episode #37 - Bill Burr / Jack White | 12 Oct 2020 | 01:23:01 | |
So many Bs! Beth, Bram, and Brendan return to discuss Bill Burr’s big breakout on SNL! Listen to find out why Beth predicts the season will end before the election (hint: it’s exactly the reason you think), Bram and Brendan debate how worried we should be about the sophomore FPs, and the three also discuss what the show might look like post-Lorne Michaels. Also, everyone cringes when subjected to Morgan Wallen’s apology video. But is it worst than Justin Bieber’s first ever appearance on Canadian religious television? We’re so thankful you chose to listen - your cheque for $150 will be mailed to you within 3 business days. Call to leave a voicemail at (580) 789-9486 for all Hot Takes.

| Episode #36 - Chris Rock / Megan Thee Stallion | 05 Oct 2020 | 01:04:19 | |
Bram, Beth and Brendan return to talk about the first episode of the season featuring Chris Rock and Megan Thee Stallion. In this episode we evaluate the current state of the Featured Players roster. Learn about our disappointments! Or perhaps it was actually pretty good? It's the premiere so who can believe that. We also talk about our thoughts on how the show is handling recording in a studio during a nationwide pandemic. Featuring voicemail from Gillian Oakley of the Dadcast. (580) 789-9486 is our voicemail line. Or hit us up on our Anchor profile. @FeaturedSNL @BrendanDNoel @Reelbramz @BabyBendo @emoCanadian | |||
| Episode #35 - Season 46 Preview | 05 Oct 2020 | 01:19:22 | |
Reboot fever continues! Following their lengthy legal dispute over the podcast’s ownership (and countless NDAs), hosts Bram Benderoff and Brendan Noel are back, now joined by musical guest and baby in residence Beth Benderoff (no relation). In their season 46 preview show, the trio try to predict just what an SNL season produced in Studio 8H during the COVID-19 pandemic will look like. There’s talk about whether the show’s largest ever cast (20!!) will overwhelm the three new featured players – Andrew Dismukes, Lauren Holt, and Punkie Johnson – and our regret to inform you that the celebrity cameos are at it again. Plus, the stupid co-hosts reflect on SNL’s last presidential election season and how overconfident they all were that Hillary would win instead of playing “Hallelujah” on the piano in a somber cold open. Stand down and stand by, episode 36 on the premiere with Chris Rock drops next! Featuring a voicemail by Bode Sulaiman! (580) 789-9486 is our voicemail line. Or hit us up on our Anchor profile. @FeaturedSNL @BabyBendo @Reelbramz @BrendanDNoel @BodeSulaiman | |||
| Episode 34 - Chance the Rapper (with Beth Benderoff) #Chancegiving | 21 Sep 2020 | 02:14:54 | |
Original Airdate: November 23, 2017 Bram and Brendan welcome Beth back to the show to discuss her fav Chance the Rapper's hosting stint on Saturday Night Live (that show that we all love).
