That Show – WHAAAT??? Colleen Rafferty’s Close Encounters
By listener request, Nick dives deep into the bizarre and brilliant world of Colleen Rafferty, one of Kate McKinnon’s most unforgettable Saturday Night Live characters. Whether she’s being abducted by aliens, haunted by ghosts, or hurled through time, Colleen’s wildly unglamorous take on supernatural events is always hilarious—and McKinnon’s commitment to the role has left both the audience and her fellow cast members in stitches. Nick revisits standout sketches, including the infamous Ryan Gosling episodes (where he breaks every time), plus appearances with Casey Affleck, Natasha Lyonne, and a star-studded take from the SNL 50th Anniversary Special featuring Pedro Pascal, Jon Hamm, Woody Harrelson, and Meryl Streep as Colleen’s mom. A filthy, funny, fan-favorite tribute to a true SNL legend. [Ep 137]
