That Show – Bad, Just Plain Bad
Listen now
Description
In the past 49 seasons of "Saturday Night Live," there have been hundreds of terrible sketches—it's just the nature of the game. In this episode, Nick looks back at five truly awful sketches from more recent years that are among the worst ever performed on the show. You'll hear these bombs and learn about why they were written, performed, and included on the show at all. Sometimes it's the writing, sometimes it's the cast, sometimes it's the host, and sometimes it's EVERYTHING, but whatever the reasons, these five sketches are just disastrous. Nick provides insight and information, revealing why talented actors like Reese Witherspoon, Sterling K. Brown, and Chris Rock struggled with these particular sketches, and why less experienced performers like January Jones and Elon Musk completely tanked. It's fascinating to analyze why things aren't funny and why they are "Bad, Just Plain Bad." [Ep88]
