Dana! I don't remember saying that about Alec Baldwin!!! I did have to kiss him in lots of sketches so I felt like we'd already been on 5 dates!!! I'm glad he was not interested in me.

[@paulasnell2742]

Victoria you were so fabulous on SNL. Thanks for the laughs..

[@johngrayatkinson1214]

You dodged that bullet Victoria ( I apologize, I was compelled)

[@TimHesch]

Victoria when are you gonna do a show on Fly on the Wall?

[@TheUkulelegal]

@@TimHesch I don't know! I guess when they ask me!!!

[@DstrtdMnd]

Love you on UHF! Please do a show in Philly or NJ

[@CharlieTWilbury]

"Every camel works at Christmas." So funny

[@charlie-obrien]

I wish Lorne Michaels would write a book. I can't even comprehend all of the events and people that he could tell some great (but not hurtful) stories about. Mainly I would love to have all of his feelings about the greats that he helped launch.

[@chrism.ledoux1590]

Well his son is producing a documentary. That should be really interesting

[@charlie-obrien]

@@chrism.ledoux1590 I like to read. Besides a book can cover so much more and as a bonus Dana can do the book on tape with his Lorne Michael impression.

[@mandm2349]

​@chrism.ledoux1590 imagine it's a story about his father being at work and not in his life😂. So instead of talking about the famous people in a positive way, he couples them with his own negative projected view of each character. First scene... Lorne son showing a photo from a baseball game, then a picture of Lorne and Eddy Murphy and says something like... "I like to keep these pictures together because this was the same day. He missed my game to hang with eddy. I'm sure Eddie's a bad father too" 😅

[@MrEzekiel1982]

I had to rewind that part several times when Lorne says “you don’t know why it catches on but then you run it into the ground” that was the funniest thing I’ve heard in awhile. He voiced what I was always thinking back then “why do people think this is so funny?” lol even though I was one of them

[@darkquixote6077]

Holy Sh!t! Lorne Michaels? This was epic, I hope he returns again.

[@firebird2]

Thank you for this podcast. It is wonderful to hear the voice and the stories.

[@percypercerton2125]

Everyone on this earth needs to occasionally step back and thank Lorne Michaels for the half century of comedy production and star creation. Whatever awards there are, don’t encompass what he’s done.

[@raystaar]

@percypercerton2125 I was just thinking much the same thing.

[@LollieVox]

Thanks to Lorne!!

[@raphaelturtle4146]

Well... 29-33 pretty solid seasons. Spread around. Still amazing.

[@janaadams7958]

I was in high school when SNL started and have watched every season forward. I do agree with Loren on how we judge the “best cast” on when we were in HS. But I truly love almost every season. Each year or group of years the cast add their own unique talents in different ways. I’m not sure SNL should go on after Loren (kind of like trying to replace Alex Trebek-you can but it’s never quite the same). 🥰

[@timtyson5855]

Mr. #LorneMichaels is IRREPLACEABLE. But SNL is a Saturday night institution with world wide di$tribution and I refuse to imagine a time without some new #SNL.

[@katherinecompton6591]

I'd just graduated the previous June. My mom started watching from the beginning and kept up with me for about the first five years. I've continued yes, through the non- Lorne years to the current. I've raised my now twenty somethings daughters, on SNL. Love this show! 💖

[@thermalrain_yt9725]

I understand the best class thing but I love all the cast members. I remember Dana and David when I was little and I think my high school days were the Will Ferrell days. I'm like you I love all of them. It makes me mad when people say oh the show sucks now and it's too political but it's been the same the whole time. It's just the people themselves that have changed so they don't like the same things. I'll never get why people are so negative about it. SNL hasn't been funny in years I've heard that so much. That's just not true I laugh every show. Not every sketch is good I agree. I've watched a ton of old shows that are so dull and not funny but that's just how the show is. Each sketch is its own thing with its own audience it's aimed at. Not liking something is a you problem, not an SNL problem.

[@JWH66]

I started watching in the 7th grade (1978) after hearing a Senior talking with the lunch lady about the show. And I watched the reruns of the previous seasons. Bill Murray and Gilda Radner were my favorites. But boy was 80/81 awful. So boring, as well as sad to see. But then Eddie Murphy rescued the show. My favorite cast was the years with Hartman, Loviitz, Nealon, Myers, Carvey, Sandler, Spade ,Farley, Ferrell Shannon (1987 - 99?)

[@clairemurdoch4536]

This was such an amazing interview! I wish you could have gone on for days. Such fantastic stories about the show I've watched from the beginning when I was in high school 50 years ago.

[@kevinking8548]

Awesome interview! You could get 20 episodes from Lorne!

[@TheAllanmc64]

This podcast is the best thing since Lights Out.

[@Billkwando]

33:16 I literally exploded with laughter. Caught me by surprise. 🤣🤣🤣

[@HankMeyer]

Massive Headwound Harry is always the 2nd original Dana Carvey character that comes to mind when I try to mentally list original Dana Carvey characters, which is surprisingly frequent. The first being Church Lady, the third being Hans, then Garth, and now you know more trivia about me than anyone cares to know.

[@thermalrain_yt9725]

I just think of master of disguise when I think Dana carvey. Turtle turtle turtle lol I will never forget that. Me and my brother used to watch that and just die on the floor

[@cableroyson9992]

Please continue to release Saturday Night Live seasons on dvd/blu ray/4k/physical media. Sincerely - the fans

[@christheghostwriter]

I started tearing up listening to him talk about producing the show after Sandy Hook

[@katherinecompton6591]

Hey, Cheri was fantastic as Ross Perot. Wait a minute, Goodman as Linda Tripp, was spot on!

[@hankroest6836]

"The problem with making it look easy is that it looks easy. And it's your job to make it look easy." - my fave Lorne line, from Coms in Cars Getting Coffee.

[@MissInformation773]

I loved that sketch where he saved Conan from the glue factory

[@iamgoingtodeckyoutwo5966]

The Emma Stone/Gilda Radner makes a lot of sense. This guy can’t help but me so interesting.

[@patrickhughes4914]

It's so true that casts that aren't popular, are looked back on years later as great.

[@christheghostwriter]

It's also casts that were popular. Every time a new cast starts, millions of people run to social media to say that SNL hasn't been funny since (insert favorite SNL cast members names' here) were in the cast. Lorne Michaels nailed it: people don't realize that they liked their preferred cast the best because that's when they were young, like high school or college ages. The show remains consistently funny nearly 5 decades on. I just watched the most recent episode, and all the new cast members got featured moments. It was a surprisingly funny episode, and the last two sketches in particular showed a kind of energy that bodes well for the coming season

[@_albeorla]

This was incredible!

[@susiesuh1418]

I wish Dana would allow Lorne to speak. He asks him a question then immediately starts talking about himself. Poor Lorne, it’s like yeah, yeah you were funny. Lorne must be tired trying to placate a needy child. Ugh! Hang in there David.

[@christiandivine3807]

"I put Trump on SNL because I wanted to give nazis equal time." "Oh we worship your comedy gifts!" - Spade and Carvey

[@michellealdrich]

“… ran it into the ground.” Classic. 😂😂😂 Thanks Lorne ❤

[@gerritpeacock8949]

SNL isn't what it was to me. Maybe I grew out of the demographic. I used to plot my weeks towards SNL... and I will always have a nostalgic tilt towards the sketches.

[@poppyhimbo]

first time ive ever heard Lorne talk, only heard everyone's impersonation.....now i just picture Dr Evil talking lol

[@adamkoyl954]

Really great interview with Mr. Lorne Michaels. Obviously you guys have a great show. Kinda wanted to hear you both ask, ‘so Lorne, what show would you say that you wanted me to just walk away, but come back next week.’

[@JJSS-vg1qs]

I just don't get it? SNL was fearless. They didn't care who they made fun of. Now there's boundaries and fear of getting canceled. How is it alright for women to play men on the show but men playing women is off limits?

[@Paul71H]

I wish they had asked Lorne about the perception that SNL has become explicitly politically liberal, to the detriment of its humor. Does he recognize any truth in that perception? Does he think it's important for a comedy show to strive for political balance? How do you appeal to both sides in a politically divided country, or is that important?

[@chericercone2362]

I am a great fan of Alec Baldwin, but Darrell Hammond did a much better impression of Trump. SNL should have kept Darrell.

[@jamesrmore]

Wow, Lorne Michaels is hilarious dry, starting with the camel thingy he’s clearly having a good time. Dry interesting unique wit 😢 the hump got stuck in the ceiling tile.

[@jackharle1251]

Odd how Alec Baldwin was the actual person that shot and killed a woman, and mother, in a movie that he was producing.

[@mandm2349]

Why are these not getting veiws... advertise on Facebook?!?

[@DavidMcdonald-df8tb]

Amazingly sad that the one Beatle that didn't appear on SNL was John Lennon.

[@tylerboley1786]

What a great guy, the image is one of power but he seems very sweet as we as brilliant. I wish you had talked about Norm

[@DanLoFat]

Not somebody so young but someone who's better writer and I don't know if you don't you don't need a performer but someone who wrote someone who might who has produced I would say Seth Meyers might be a good candidate for filling in for Lauren Michaels. The female side you could go with Tina Fey she's written produced directed Well if you did pick Seth Meyers you'd have to try to find a replacement for Seth on his current show and I think Liza Schlesinger would be a perfect slot in for that, she can definitely do a news bit and have her own opinion and not be afraid to express it, you know you're going to hear about her boobs at least once a month, and boobs are always funny. But I haven't really strong punch that she would know how to listen in interviews. Yeah she's she's wacky during the pandemic cooking show with her husband/boyfriend I think it's her husband I don't know, but you also know she can be serious as well she had to be. Why not bring a little bit more levity a little bit more silliness from a female perspective in a late night show but she really we really haven't had that yet, a major Network.

[@DanLoFat]

I think most surprising choice to take over for Lauren would be Bill hader he doesn't have a stand-up act so it's not like it's going to put a damper on his other career things that he does like films so I think maybe but maybe the job of producing SNL is quite all-consuming and it would be tough to do films but you do have that summer break

[@josephkennedy3541]

Who's next? Soros, Schwab and the dark lord of the Siths?😅

[@markdavies9117]

Lorne was just so natural. I feel like he didn't say anything he didn't believe. And he's dryly funny. I haven't enjoyed a podcast more than this one.

[@cattalkdetroit]

Sorry but SNL has sucked since K Wiig left

[@MsFreshadenu]

Conan OBrien would be an amazing replacement for Lorne

[@Riac007]

Glad they mentioned my favorite skits. The Continental with Walkin

[@maroosk]

Lorne came on toooo?! Wooo🎉🎉🎉 i have ten in a row to catch up on, awesome show🎉🎉🎉❤

[@kevingreen5834]

Joe Piscapo should take over for Lorne!

[@JamesCurtisOKC]

Who sucks on hard candy for the entire duration of a recorded interview ??

[@badad0166]

17:35 Put that on a loop. (Getting a little misty here...).

[@bcsemotorworks2462]

Don't bounce Happy Fun Ball

[@sandt22]

I think David Spade has a great voice.

[@dbadagna]

There are some SNL episodes and sketches that are not available to watch on KZbin. For example: David Spade's "Dick Clark Productions Receptionist" sketch and the Alec Baldwin "Greenhilly" and "The Young & The Youthful" sketches.

[@olihhayes]

6:58. .

[@moaningpheromones]

David is one of the funniest people ever. He would be all laughs all the time to hang out with. What a great talent - deserved to be a much bigger star right at the top.

[@spacenerd9499]

Totally!

[@LollieVox]

He’s on the top with this podcast for sure!

[@mikewayhart5504]

Great Lorne quote “don’t tell us what’s funny”

[@delphinazizumbo8674]

what about Chris Kattan?

[@dwartfarquart9590]

I learned something that I could not have anticipated. Lorne Michaels loves those nervous quick add-ins that David Spade drops because (seemingly) he can't help himself. One of your most revealing conversations. The three of you show that you were in your element, and it wasn't just by chance.

[@teledoink]

Keenan on 30 Rock? Did he mean Tracy Morgan? Lorne is an interesting guy, but that dry mouth makes it almost impossible to listen to this interview for someone with Misophonia 😊

[@jackham2549]

being able to see the skits easily now. Many times during these 2 podcasts I paused and looked up the skit. Even if I knew the skit, I want to see it again after you guys are done discussing it.

[@macbirt56]

Great great great interview. SNL came out my senior year of High School. Not every skit works, but the ones that do are infamous very often. I have soooooo many favorite skits I can't even begin to start to list them. Love the podcast and hearing all about the behind the scenes stuff. Take care.

[@gaberoyalll]

I never heard of David spade before. He's actually pretty good 👍 😂😂😂😂

[@beth7467]

I'm loving these interviews, but wish it could be more about the guest and the guest's experiences and just a little less about the interviewer and his perspective from his own time on the show.

[@hellrazor67]

Thank you for having Lorne on the show. After listening to both parts, I could listen to more. Bravo!

[@Jenny_Oblivion]

Such a treat to hear from Lorne!

[@mikefraley6935]

This just scratched the surface of Lorne's career. If he wrote a book, it would need at least as many chapters as seasons. Not sure why the minutia of behind the scenes at SNL is so fascinating, but I could listen to this and this only.

[@debradonato9005]

Dana&David Are FAB Podcasters 🦅♥️🌟💙💪💪🦅🎤🎤

[@JDL0427]

Never mind. Too many interruptions and I've heard him talk about all this before.

[@robertgordon8159]

If Lorne writes a book, it should be titled "Every Camel Works at Christmas"

[@jeriboxx4331]

Lorne is the Real Wizard of Oz, but you look behind the curtain and realize magic is real…we won’t even realize how good this is for years…

[@lynnecarter7628]

A book-;yes

[@filipsolis5253]

Future generations will appreciate Paul McCartney for who he actually is- the greatest genius of pop-rock! : D

[@lucibjlb]

I so appreciate this podcast. I love comedy. I love you guys. And I have loved all of the casts of SNL I started watching the show starting with the first season. I remember coming home from work never having watched it before. I turned on the TV and Chevy was giving the news. And of course, the lines he was throwing out with the deadpan expression was killing me. I remember laughing so hard, I started crying. Never missed a show after that. Thank you for making me laugh.

[@faykguru]

conan.

[@caniican]

I briefly met Mr. Michaels during dress rehearsal ... I was a guest of a crew member. He was polite he could see the excitement in my eyes being a musician standing there slobbering over Metallica rehearsing LOL. Thanks for letting me fanboy

[@mynameisnotyours888]

Has any person ever live on air gone rogue?

[@fishhookism]

Yes. Damon Wayans.

[@michaeljacksin9367]

on wikipedia it says Alicia keys had "trademark cornrows" and it sunk my battleship

[@shindogcity8536]

Dana’s Lovitz has a touch of Kate Hepburn.

[@UserNameMandatory]

Wish they talked to Lorne about his relationship with Pete.

[@joegiardina6838]

I'm hearing the same schtick while reminiscing ? " fall in love again " ?

[@patmando1]

Biggest surprise, producer- Tracy Morgan.

[@johnakni]

When are you guys going to interview Land of Gorch?

[@PennywisefanhappyHalloween]

Never heard him interviewed, so many stories! 👍🏻

[@FestivaGuy]

"Okay we will take a 20 min break and then start the podcast."

[@commercialzone4141]

I love when Dana imitates Lorne. He’s spit on 🤣

[@Riac007]

I could use a part 3-22 of this. cant get enough 😊

[@michaeljacksin9367]

"its that thing of what are you not allowed to say" is a pretty good one

[@mcnallyaar]

"Bear suits are funny. And bears as well!"

[@Jenny_Oblivion]

It was great to hear Lorne talk about the concert

[@thegiftedone]

Lord Michaels! All hail Lord Michaels!

[@dennisgallear409]

Hey dudes! Make it bettererrrrr

[@Skottink]

I was really hoping to hear about the Shane Gillis controversy. He clearly thought highly of Shane.

[@michaelschwartz4306]

I've been such a big fan for decades. The anti Trump stuff got way out of control. I haven't watched since. It just stopped being funny.

[@scottgunvaldsonmusic4116]

It was still funny and if anything they were not hard enough on Trump.

[@sugarsore]

Do you see Donald Trump as an extension of yourself?

[@michaelschwartz4306]

I am really just looking for comedy. And they were more interested in politics than being funny. Not my thing.

[@hannibalb8276]

Trump's cult simply cannot handle anyone mocking their cult daddy, it's sad

[@mikekimmel9744]

Such narcissists, talking so much on their own podcast. Why won't they let silence say something?

[@81garbur]

The whole interview I keep thinking of everyone's impressions of him. "It's that thing......." Loved it😆

[@joannestinson5760]

Luv ya Dana....but your are too ... Thirsty.

[@chrisfoxwell4128]

Why you can't trust what they do. It's great women are playing men. John Goodman playing a woman, verboten. Not only wouldn't we do it, it's wrong. Total BS.

[@OldWorkingMan]

Get Victoria Jackson on PLEASE.

[@sugarsore]

She went insane. She wouldn't be a good guest.

[@sugarsore]

Good lord, this is boring.

[@thermalrain_yt9725]

Never liked the Beatles music and I've tried now that I'm older and still I just can't get into it at all. Some songs I like but most are just boring to me. Jazz and blues are about the only 2 genres I can't get into.

[@maddymud]

This nice lady I knew once burst into tears because it was her secret shame - she hated them

[@poppyhimbo]

its so awkward to listen to David Spade try to fit in

[@talldude1412]

lol this is the most projecting comment I've ever seen.

[@Wayzor_]

Yes.. I too search for each sketch and watch them as they come up in conversation.

[@SONOFABITCH]

"Camels work at Christmas"

[@ctpierce181]

Was not flavor it was biased

[@SONOFABITCH]

Dr. Evil does FLY!!!

[@mikeodonnell6799]

the ice cream truck scene in the movie Electra Glide in Blue, the two girls, the one in red became Lorne's wife. check it out maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
