Description
Nick takes a look back at the four times iconic and beloved actor Michael Keaton hosted Saturday Night Live, sharing behind-the-scenes stories and highlights from each appearance. Keaton first hosted in 1982 when he was still transitioning from being a stand-up comedian and had just gotten his big break in Ron Howard's Night Shift. In this episode, you'll hear his very first sketch ever (alongside Eddie Murphy, of course) and his first monologue from that show.
It took ten years for Keaton to return as host in 1992, and by then, his image had definitely evolved. The change in his persona was evident in both his monologue and his sketch work. Fast forward another 22 years to 2015—yes, a long wait—but it was well worth it, as Keaton's work on that episode was absolutely terrific. By that time, Keaton had become a true Hollywood legend.
Most recently, Keaton hosted SNL just a few weeks ago, and once again, he proved why he’s such a fantastic host, delivering laughs and showcasing his enduring charisma. Enjoy this journey through Michael Keaton’s SNL hosting history. [Ep96]
