225: "Dong In The Dumphole" - SNL S37E08 - Steve Buscemi / The Black Keys

Sometimes you need to take a little break from the garbage.  After watching one of the worst movies we've ever seen last week we decide to watch something good so we went back to Saturday Night Live and picked an episode that got George back into the show.  Because we picked Nasim Pedrad, it's Season 37 Episode 8 hosted by Steve Buscemi.  Sketches include Coach Bert, Surprise Sue, Dateline, The Miley Cyrus Show, Sex Ed Vincent, and it wouldn't be an episode of Saturday Night Jive unless we covered another instance of SNL donning blackface as we talk about Fred Armisen as Barack Obama.  Enjoy!

224: "There's A Nugget Of Corn In There" - Bucky Larson: Born To Be A Star (2011)

Ooh boy.  This was a rough one.  We watched Bucky Larson: Born To Be A Star starring Nick Swardson and featuring SNL alums Kevin Nealon and Jimmy Fallon (in one scene as himself).  Bucky Larson is a simple man-child from a small town who discovers his purpose when he discovers his parents were porn stars.  He moves to the big city, finds a girl, gets a job in the adult film industry, and jizzes...a lot.  This is one of the worst ones we've watched in the history of this podcsast but, if you look on the bright side, it makes every movie we've watched a little better in comparison.  So there's a silver lining in everything.  Stay tuned to the end where we make a startling political revelation.  Enjoy!

223: "Full Of Blackface" - SNL S11E18 - Anjelica Huston and Billy Martin / George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're talking about the finale to Season 11 hosted by Anjelica Huston and Billy Martin.  This episode features the last hurrah for SNL superstars like Anthony Michael Hall, Robert Downey Jr, Joan Cusack, Danitra Vance, and Terry Sweeney who goes out in style by donning the blackest blackface we've seen so far digging into old episodes of SNL.  Along with the racism we also get sketches about second bananas, one legged joggers, drunks, lesbians, and of course we get a little Father Guido Sarducci.  We can't record a podcast without talking about Father Guido Sarducci.  Music by Parliament Funkadelic and a cliffhanger ending where Lorne sets the cast on fire.  We also address Jimmy Fallon's blackface controversy.  Enjoy.

222: "My Lasagna Wasn't Cheesy Enough" - SNL S09E09 - Father Guido Sarducci / Huey Lewis & The News

We picked Joe Piscopo out of the hat and we watched Bartleby a movie from 2001 starring David Paymer and Crispin Glover.  But then George didn't like that movie so we watched an episode of Saturday Night Live instead.  From Season 9, its an episode hosted by Father Guido Sarducci with musical guest Huey Lewis & The News.  This episode is a stinker.  It includes a call-in vote for the audience to pick their favorite democratic candidate, Julia Louis-Dreyfus pulling cigarettes out of her bra, Joe Piscopo revealing a dark family secret, Gary Kroeger translating for Buckwheat, Michael Jackson, and lots of people reading a list of phone numbers you can call to vote.  Plus we watched Bartleby.  Enjoy!
