One of the things I LOVE about this podcast is that it's not just about the behind the scenes of the Digital Shorts, but it's also a love letter to the writers that aren't also cast members at SNL. They deserve more shine, and thank you for giving that to them

[@davidturner4987]

Tim is one of those actors who doesn't feel the need to be the center of attention, he was interested in what they were talking about and really enjoying listening to them talk. I've always enjoyed his work.

[@brigitperry4991]

Don't know where else to put this, but I watched Lee this weekend and I think Samberg did a fantastic turn as a dramatic actor. Really well done. Made me cry.

[@numbr87]

I love that after years of nothing, Lonely Island starts filming videos again as soon as Jorm leaves the country.

[@ChicagoZ]

Tim in the ad read 😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅

[@tamlin3378]

Please have Tim back on, he's delightful and adds a great chaos to the mix.

[@markbooth6706]

Seriously the next title art should be the lonely island and Tim Olyphant podcast

[@ChonkyMonkey1]

I think Timothy perfectly echoed part of why this podcast is so great. The other part just being 4(5) shock jocks shooting the shit

[@CalebCross253]

I rewatched the Walken Family Reunion Episode and I LOVE that he's blatantly reading the Cue Cards the entire time. Like not even subtle just always looking off in the distance

[@GinoZump]

So classic SNL

[@CMinionTV]

We need that uncensored cut of Here I go, boys

[@datgrrl_official]

It's all ready posted.

[@JacobKeele]

Seriously Love Tim! So it's fun to have him on!

[@katebell1974]

Jorma bringing Tim on the pod is the same energy as having a friend over and then your parents make you finish your chores while your friend just watches

[@velocinalize]

And both of you are secretly drunk

[@kiki__21]

If there was ever a doubt that Tim Olyphant *needs* to be on SNL, this episode settles it

[@JLeast42]

48:11 I definitely love this one too! I was in college and my friends and I had just started fostering kittens-after this aired they were promptly named Captain Ted, Admiral Spaceship, and Nitro.

[@theoriginal1971]

The theme song 😂😂😂😂 love your commitment to accuracy

[@andyrunton]

Seriously! We need him to be a recurring guest! 🎶”It’s Tim’s corner, you’re all invited…”🎶

It is truly Nan Goldin era

I've been waiting for this episode, but once again I just had to drop everything and re-watch Here I Go

[@bhseigel]

Tim just slots right in.

that's what your mom said comedy

[@mr.deadbutdreaming9628]

Bill Hader's impressions are always so damn good.

[@justinfalsetto]

Full time Late Night watcher. First time listening to this. Just wanted to say that I have gone to almost every Bonnaroo since '08 and if I were to list my favorite things I wasn't planning on doing on the farm, seeing Lonely Island is #1. So much fun. Both hilarious and totally kicked ass! Maybe best crowd to ever be in too.

[@wftbanks5737]

"Pranksters" is a classic sketch I'm glad Seth brought it up

[@keatonclark3017]

30 mins of the 50 mins are not about the main sketch. Love it

[@daylightrambler]

18:53 My high school drama teacher had us perform a bowdlerized version of Greased Lightning! Our tiny rural Alabama town was treated to the lyric "she's a real dragon/draggin' wagon." Also, one girl belonged to a denomination that didn't allow dancing and didnt have a whole lot to do 😂

[@tximinoman]

I'm not from the US, what's a "denomination" and why didn't they allow dancing?

[@y4Zo]

It's Jormal.

[@treehousekohtao]

It's Seth's jormal, you're all invited...

[@Charles2112pp]

My favorite Garfield character for suremal.

[@canadaclaret]

Tim is right. The creative process differs for every creator, really, for every single creative act, but in a way, it is also always the same. Creativity is chaotic and recursive. And it includes references or stimulus from many sources.

[@ozmajapan]

Love that Timothy is in the mix. I'm sure i'm not alone in the fact that I went DIRECTLY from listening to the podcast on my phone to checking if the youtube version had zoom-screen video because...um...Timothy

[@snoozywolf]

not to be cringe or anything but these podcast episodes truly got me through my finals at college last quarter 🖤 i’d be working 15 hours straight on comics/storyboards (art school lmao) and these legit helped me keep my sanity!!! i love listening to other people’s creative process.

[@MitchJT]

These podcast episodes got me through the toughest constipation of my life. 1 like = 1 turd

[@DNTXPCTMCH]

Thank you for helping me enjoy my days. I love you guys❤ thank you for every laugh and giggle

[@porcelina_zero]

I’m in love with Timothy Olyphant, he’s pure chaotic good energy AND gorgeous to boot? cmonnnnn

[@jessebaker9430]

Had a laughing fit at "sounds like this guy's been eating cloudberries straight off the bush". Extra fun at work, my cubemate thinks I'm insane!

[@JimMason001]

As a responsible podcast viewer I am multitasking while watching. I’m also on the SNL subreddit where the last comment I read (which is doing well) is “Samburg was a once in a generation SNL talent.”

[@leenthegirl]

I love adding Tim into the mix 🤣

[@ty_sylicus]

Just warched the 5 clips before starting this episode and wowwie zowwie is Walken a comedic treasure! 🤣

[@kpr2]

This is easily my favorite podcast and you bastards aren't even trying, which seems to work well. Love it!!! 🔥❤‍🔥🔥❤‍🔥 Keep 'em coming!!! PS: To Jorma & Tim - Kippis! 🍻

This truly inspired Walken's role in Dune. What a performance.

This is just the Olyphant monologue now. Won't let anyone else talk the whole hour.

[@irisyu1000]

nan goldin era i’m fucking crying 😭😭😭

[@sammyjeanh]

To Poehler’s credit- when I think of Christopher Walken- I think of her saying “spooky behavior”

[@CalebCross253]

5 Shock Jocks today!

[@hiatusfromtheworld]

See, I'm confused again. Some moments, it seems that the guys don't get their earlier humor. The longwindedness was part of Lazar Cats. For me, it was part of the joke. It's too long, it's bad, and that's why it's funny that they're showing it to Lorne. If they cut it to make it run better, it wouldn't be as "good" because it would actually be "good," and then what's the joke?

[@DNTXPCTMCH]

I saw a laser cat in LEGO MOVIE credits! And Lonely Island were singing ridiculous lyrics 😂❤ I love being surprised by you guys

[@lain_9999]

Timothy Olyphant is like the fifth Beatle

Love you guys ! Greetings from Türkiye

LOVE YOU GUYS! 🔥🔥🔥

[@citruskeys]

Can't wait for next week, I've ben desperately curious about Daiquiri Girl for the past decade.

[@lewatoaofair]

As soon as this podcast started, I counted the digital shorts to see how long I had to wait for Daiquiri Girl.

[@citruskeys]

lol, not sure we'll get it next week--Lonely Island keeps putting out those brand new digital shorts!

[@Tonyhouse1168]

I’m STILL waiting on The Guest starring Timothy Olyphant with special appearances by Conan O’Brien and maybe TLI

[@doctorduskofficial]

Nan Goldin era lmao

[@MaChuKindaCrasee]

God damn is Timothy Oliphant funny. The Nan Goldin bit made me lose it.

[@elizabethcook9443]

Good one! You guys had me laughing 😁thank you!

[@aseriousliability]

I need a Here I Go episode asap

[@amp15235]

I need it in my veins...

[@han-gyo-don3]

34:12 that's actually my reaction to this podcast as well

[@DNTXPCTMCH]

Christopher Walken in 2008 Hairspray movie is HILARIOUS 😂

[@mjrussell89]

I recognize that guy. He's the voice of The Spirit of the West in Rango

[@mjrussell89]

Legally distinct from Clint Eastwood

[@ianmccown]

His name is Timothy Olyphant

[@mjrussell89]

That's crazy

[@silverXnoise]

Shout out to anyone who was cocking cats like guns pre-Laser Cats.

[@DKGifford19608]

Cloudberries are a ground plant that grows similar to strawberries.

Everything I know about cloudberries I learned from the PBS Kids show Molly of Denali.

You are good at this ❤❤

[@eruption257]

Time to rename the podcast The Olyphant in the Room

[@andrewstutesman1738]

I would love more Tim on any pod. I. Love. Olyphant. I’ll even watch Die Hard 4 again. Santa Clarita Diet deserved more respect. ❤❤❤

[@rekhaajr9509]

There are now 5 shock jocks ❤ also Here I go was BomB

[@nostalgiahappy4429]

Clearly Jorma doesn’t remember how brilliant the Spielberg Laser Cats was

[@Rocinante808]

not enough Olyphant 🥸

[@angie7164]

Is there ever a situation where there is enough?

[@thegrowingdarkness1377]

Wait, this episode isnt about Here I Go, feat. Charli XCX!!

[@Mjksquared]

We need another Q&A episode because I have a very important Q that needs an A!

[@tsbuty]

nice turnaround on the new theme song

[@Erin-w7k5m]

Please more drunk friend guest appearances

[@silverXnoise]

I’ve got more than 40-years of SNL on a private media server. Eat it Peacock.

[@katebell1974]

I’m curious as to how?

[@eMRH1202]

An entire ep with Raylan Givens!?!?!?

[@geoffn2540]

FIVE? FIVE SHOCK JOCKS!?

[@canadaclaret]

Funny ad moment. During the internal ad for Sony entertainment, KZbin interrupted with a French language ad for some Pfizer nicotine patch product, then it went back to your ad. Weird. It was like Manitoulin Island, which is big enough to have a lake on it which has an island in it. I get it, because it's Lonely ISLAND.

[@therealottawasteph]

Those googly eyes were my inspiration for covering the holes in a wall. Shame I can't post a pic in comments, so yall have to use your imagination. Trust me, it's pretty cool.

[@carterfoerch4556]

Love relistening to this knowing Jorm was drunk

[@Fortnite_Noob55]

THIS IS THE TALEEEE OF CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW!!!

[@jasonmurdoc9533]

Jorma’s movie was written by britanick! Full circle on the KZbin nostalgia!

[@finks1]

So Tim essentially just came for the Shopify add read?

[@SS-yk1zr]

I bought Journey to the Centre of the Earth for the Seth cameo and i am now slightly more poor and considerably more sad.

[@Samlowry27B-6]

Question for the Pod: have they watched The Chapelle show it's really funny.

[@toastedjoe1013]

What if Toonces the Driving Cat could shoot lasers? Think about that while stoned.

[@Rocinante808]

You see they trained rats 🐀 to drive, they really liked it and inside tiny cars rats would go Voom Voom while it paws the lever that starts the car! this helps me grasp the fact we share 50% of our human DNA w/ a 🍌

[@ngr_nj]

No talk about Here I Go??

[@TimeTravelingBunnis]

Dude I love this Pod, but slightly pissed Timothy Olyphant in the second half rules.

[@JrgsGrg]

Tim is in Finland and Jorma is totally finnish first name.

[@GinoZump]

[@Charles2112pp]

Dear Pod, Do you guys hear the Seth's Corner jingle in real time or is that put in in post? I find it to be a rather savage ear worm every time and wonder if it's as bad for you as it is for me. End transmission.

[@Conz101]

what the hell is Jorm filming? i keep looking but can't find the answer

[@markush1122]

I heard that it's a horror comedy called "The Trip". It's a remake of a Norwegian movie called "I onde dager" (or "The Trip" in English) from 2021.

[@CinnamonQuills]

Apparently it's a movie with a current title of "The Trip" and also has Jason Segel, Samara Weaving and Juliette Lewis, the plot "focuses on the relationships between the characters" which could probably be said of everything from Terms of Endearment to Alien to Frozen 🤣

[@Conz101]

Thanks

[@HellInternAKACandyMD]

I think you guys would have still made online shorts that would further lead you to where you are today. And I bet you would have also became the late night show host you are today. But in no way am I saying SNL was unimportant to your current present future. But I AM saying an equivalent factor would be a fill-in if unavail. Edit: Timothy? You'd probably still be drinking with Jorma, but as a Gentleman of the Night, with skills that include Close Hand Magic.

So is the pod paying for studio time to finish a new album?

Aquavit is my guess

[@zeeb6853]

I guessed wrong

[@rotherthies]

Too bad you can only watch 20 mins an episode of the "golden era" "on peacock". I understand the music performances, but from season 30 to like 37 or 38, every episode is cut to garbage.

[@Grimmy616]

Another example of old men talking young men dyin!

[@AquarianSoulTimeTraveler]

Yeah but what does this have to do with 3D laser cats‽
