285: "An Elaborate Network Of Trusses" - Uncle Roy An SNL Recurring Character Study

Oh, goodness.  Welcome back to ...And We're Back the series in our podcast where we dive into an SNL recurring character and discuss everyone of their appearances.  We watched all 3 Uncle Roy sketches and that turned out to be a big mistake.  For the unfamiliar, Uncle Roy was a character played by Buck Henry and the gag is that he's a pedophile uncle who comes over to babysit the kids.  We watch him take pictures of girls in their underwear, rub their private areas, and basically indulge in kiddy diddling foreplay...on a comedy show!  This is one of the more notorious, controversial, and downright unrepentant characters in the show's history.  As a much needed palette cleanser we also watched Fred Garvin: Male Prostitute and Switcheroo from the John Mulaney episode.  Enjoy!

Sketches include
Uncle Roy - Season 4, Episode 5 hosted by Buck Henry
Uncle Roy - Season 4, Episode 20 hosted by Buck Henry
Uncle Roy - Season 5, Episode 20 hosted by Buck Henry
Fred Garvin: Male Prostitute - Season 4 hosted by Margot Kidder
Hollywood Update - Season 43 hosted by John Mulaney
