That Show – The People Have Spoken

Nick dives into a BuzzFeed survey rounding up some of the most beloved Saturday Night Live sketches of all time, as voted on by fans. From outrageous characters to iconic moments, these picks span generations—and the people definitely have good taste. Highlights include Will Ferrell, Jimmy Fallon, and Sean Hayes battling fashion snobbery (and microscopic cell phones) in “Jeffrey’s,” Christopher Walken’s unforgettable turn as the ever-creepy “Continental,” and Cecily Strong getting way too emotional over dog food alongside Seth Rogen. Melissa McCarthy wrangles some unruly animal balloons, and the legendary “Sinatra Group” sketch makes a triumphant return, with Phil Hartman channeling Ol’ Blue Eyes, Jan Hooks as a brooding Sinead O’Connor, and Sting nailing a punked-out Billy Idol. Nick caps things off with a behind-the-scenes gem from Seth Meyers and a revisit to Taylor Swift’s clever “Monologue Song.” It’s a celebration of fan favorites, iconic chaos, and the sketches that left a mark. [EP 128]
