We lost a cool cat recently in Charles Grodin. A guy we have loved in movies like The Ex and Clifford (previous episodes) plus movies we haven't watched for our stupid podcast like Heart And Souls, Dave, Heaven Can Wait and The Heartbreak Kid. One day we will watch Taking Care Of Business starring Grodin and the superior Belushi. In tribute we watched the episode of Saturday Night Live that he hosted from Season 3 where he missed dress rehearsal, flubbed all his lines, and was unaware that the show was live. An episode that is frequently listed as one of the few that got a host banned is actually a completely obvious bit that was pre-planned and scripted in every way. We're torn on this one. While George appreciated the change in format, the experiment, and Charles Grodin's commitment to being the worst, Ben hated every single thing about it (probably because he don't smoke the wacky tobaccy). Sketches include Charles Grodin ruining a samurai sketch, Charles Grodin ruining a Killer Bee sketch, Consumer Probe, a weak Weekend Update, a skippable musical guest, Garrett Morris talking about groin injuries, Hire The Incompetent, a Coneheads Halloween, The Judy Miller Show, and Charles Grodin singing in an Art Garfunkel wig. Enjoy.
