Little known fact: Schneider was actually a top-level SNL cast member. Even with Sandler, Spade, and Farley in the cast, he was the most versatile. Now people just remember his terrible movies.

34 straight minutes of Norm Macdonald doing O.J. Simpson jokes: youtube.com/watch?v=skPUU5…

The only sad thing about O.J. Simpson's death is that Norm Macdonald had to go first.

My Wasn't That Special? co-host, Scot Bertram, was incensed by Chris Farley's SNL scene-stealing tendencies, finding it selfish and self-serving. To him, the S20 'Pepper Boy' sketch was the last straw - listen here:

I have a theory that in order to be a long-term cast member on #SNL , you have to have gotten your start on the show. People who have had careers in entertainment before SNL typically flame out after one season. From this week's Wasn't That Special?:

The 1994-95 season of #SNL had Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, David Spade, and (for a bit) Mike Myers. What could go wrong?

Well, a lot. Listen to all the behind-the-scenes drama that resulted in Season 20 being one of the show's worst ever. Bad season, fun podcast!

Free episode alert! In this week's podcast, we discuss the travesty that was #SNL Season 20 (1994-95): What went wrong both on screen and behind the scenes. This one is full of piping hot takes, so listen here: wasntthatspecial.com/p/free-episode…

Coming Monday, some *very* passionate discussions on Wasn't That Special? about what happened on SNL's doomed Season 20. Or was it a secret success? No, no, it was abysmal. Christian Schneider and I have theories as to why things went so wrong.

Yesterday, The View discussed whether there were any hot women on #SNL , and Joy Behar argued there weren't many hot men, saying 'I mean, Belushi and Chris Farley were not my exactly ideal dates.'

A quick look behind the scenes: I posted this video at a different feed I run, and it has gotten 10 million views. What I really needed was 10 million SNL fans to see it and subscribe to this podcast. So if each of you could subscribe 1 million times that would be great, thanks.

just found out i’m not hot. please give me and my family space to grieve privately and uglily at this time.

Um wut

In honor of tonight's #SNL sketch about NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts, here's proof I actually visited the set. (Thanks to Stephen Thompson for showing me around.)
