Award-winning radio personality, podcaster, and SNL fanatic/historian NICK DIGILIO hosts this weekly deep dive into the world of the granddaddy of all sketch-comedy shows. Nick, a Second City grad and veteran of Chicago comedy and theater, has watched every single episode of SNL since George Carlin hosted the premiere on October 11th, 1975. Consisting of new and old episode analysis; SNL-relates guests; historical impact; and even entire episodes dedicated completely to just one sketch…this is every SNL fan’s dream podcast, and proof that that tired, cliched statement: “That show hasn’t been funny in years,” is simply NOT true.Nick Digilio / Radio Misfits Podcast Network アート

  • That Show – Reporting Live, Veteran Reporter: Herb Welch
    2025/07/16
    Nick dives into the legacy of one of SNL’s most gloriously unhinged characters—Herb Welch, the crusty, confused, and wildly inappropriate newsman brought to life by Bill Hader. Inspired by a listener’s email, this episode revisits every appearance Herb ever made, complete with microphone assaults, accidental racism, and the kind of chaotic energy only Hader could channel live on air. Alongside the audio clips, Nick offers behind-the-scenes trivia, explores the origin of the character, and reflects on Hader’s brilliant tenure at Studio 8H. From smacking Jesse Eisenberg in the face to completely derailing scenes with Anne Hathaway and Emma Stone, Herb Welch was an old-school reporter who had no business still being on air—and that’s exactly what made him unforgettable. It’s a nostalgic, hilarious tribute to a character that represents everything unpredictable and perfect about live sketch comedy. [EP 132]

  • That Show – You Look Marvelous
    2025/07/09
    Nick takes a deep dive into one of Saturday Night Live's most memorable pop culture moments: Billy Crystal’s portrayal of Fernando, the charmingly ridiculous send-up of Fernando Lamas. With his slick hair, oversized sunglasses, and that unforgettable line—“You look marvelous!”—Fernando became an SNL staple and a catchphrase machine that took the mid-80s by storm. The episode revisits classic trips to “Fernando’s Hideaway,” featuring an all-star roster of guests including Ringo Starr and Barbara Bach, Howard Cosell, Hulk Hogan and Mr. T, Teri Garr, and Ann-Margret. These segments blended absurd flattery with surreal interviews and left a lasting mark on the show’s legacy. Nick also shares insights from Billy Crystal himself about how the character came to be—and tracks down a surprising take from Lamas’ real-life son, Lorenzo, on whether the original Fernando found the impression flattering or infuriating. It's a wonderfully nostalgic look at a character who didn’t just look marvelous—he was marvelous. [EP 131]

  • That Show – Special Guest: Jim Ryan
    2025/07/02
    Nick is joined by music and entertainment journalist Jim Ryan from Forbes.com for a lively trip through Saturday Night Live history. A lifelong fan of the show, Jim counts down his five favorite sketches of all time—starting with Tom Hanks' iconic entry into the Five-Timers Club and ending with a brilliantly unhinged Will Ferrell as Neil Diamond in a VH1 Storytellers parody. Along the way, there’s love for Belushi’s “Little Chocolate Donuts” ad and, of course, the eternal need for “More Cowbell.” The conversation doubles as a personal rewind, with Jim sharing how he first discovered SNL through late-night VHS binges and eventually found himself interviewing the very legends he grew up watching. From memorable chats with Dan Aykroyd and Robert Smigel to navigating the prickly vibes of Chevy Chase, Jim’s stories add an insider’s layer to the nostalgia. It’s a celebration of the moments that made SNL unforgettable—and a reminder that some sketches never get old, no matter how many times you hit rewind. [EP 130]
