298: "The New N-Word" - SNL Sitcoms

It's 3 episodes for the price of 1 this week on Saturday Night Jive as we watched some episodes of old sitcoms featuring SNL alums, all of which are available on YouTube.  First, Dan Aykroyd stars in Soul Man as a widowed priest with too many kids who wants to fuck but can't because of his devotion to God.  Then we talk about One Of The Boys starring old ass Mickey Rooney and a baby face Dana Carvey.  Rooney plays a man who left the old folks home to move in with his grandson's college dorm.  In this episode he raises money for Nathan Lane's tuition (all $2,000 of it) and gets accused of burglary in a weird Scooby Doo subplot.  Then finally we discuss The Michael Richards Show featuring Tim Meadows hot off his record setting SNL tenure playing second banana to Kramer himself.  The pilot episode of this show proves that there's nothing funnier than rape.  Enjoy!

297: "Live Animals Shoved Up Trump's Ass" - Americathon (1979)

We watched Americathon from 1979 starring no SNL alum.  It's another cheat week.  We tried to watch King Ralph starring 13 time SNL host John Goodman but turns out it was hella boring so we watched this instead featuring host of the first episode of SNL George Carlin, former host Jay "Poopy Butt" Leno boxing his mother, notorious musical guest Elvis Costello, and one-time SNL musical guest Meat Loaf wrestling a car.  It's a weird movie that tries to be a satire of how low we will sink in the far future of 1998.  Turns out it got a lot correct, we're a fucking dumb country that does dumb shit.
