331: "Black Don't Crack" - SNL S20E03 - John Travolta / Seal

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're watching another old ass episode of SNL.  From Season 20 it's the episode hosted by John Travolta with musical guest Seal.  Believe it or not, John Travolta is a heterosexual man but you'd be right to be confused when you see him singing as Barbra Streisand, playing gay Dracula, and wearing eyeliner as a mafia don.  This episode leads to a variety of topics including a rallying cry for human rights.  Sketches include a Staying Alive cold open, a monologue jam packed with Travolta references, Bathroom Monkey, Coffee Talk, Gay Dracula, a Norm MacDonald Weekend Update, Quentin Tarantino's Welcome Back Kotter, Chris Elliott getting kicked in the nards repeatedly, Marlon Brando feeding Larry King some shit cookies, Chris Farley screaming at Tim Meadows, a deaf mobster, and Seal.  Enjoy!

330: "The Sports Marketing Hall Of Fame" - Old Dogs (2009)

This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched Old Dogs a confounding film from 2009 starring SNL hosts Robin Williams and John Travolta as well as Matt Dillon, I realize I'm just clinging to the fact that our podcast is tangentially SNL related anymore but we'll get back to the show next week when we watch John Travolta host the show.  But first, Old Dogs.  How to describe this movie?  It's like The Cat In The Hat on steroids.  Nothing makes any logical sense and then you're at boy scout camp playing prison rules ultimate frisbee with Justin Long.  Then before you know it you're being controlled by master puppeteer Bernie Mac.  Then you may have facial paralysis and eat a dead lady's pie.  That's basically the plot of Old Dogs.  All this plus an eternal question about John Travolta's balls.  Enjoy!

329: "Grace Kelly Farts" - SNL S35E06 - January Jones / Black Eyed Peas

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're watching a notorious episode of Saturday Night Live.  It's Season 35 Episode 6 hosted by January Jones with musical guest Black Eyed Peas.  The lovely Miss Jones was starring on an Emmy winning television show at the time so one would only assume she could hold her own on a live sketch comedy show.  All that hope died when she audibly asks what camera she should look at in her first sketch appearance.  What follows is a lot of farts, a lot of gay panic, and worst of all 3 songs from Black Eyed Peas.  Surprisingly, we're torn on this one.  George, a lifelong SNL fan, thinks it's the trainwreck it is historically perceived to be.  Ben on the other hand liked the farts, but maybe that's because he hates this long running show.  Sketches include a Joe Biden cold open, Kathie Lee Gifford getting beaten up by Black Eyed Peas, Grace Kelly farting during Rear Window, Kristen Wiig lezzing out over January Jones, A guide to throwing a 1960's dinner party, Dr. Jekyll explaining a gay Mr. Hyde, Andy Samberg sitting on a toilet, Jason Sudeikis and January looking at clouds, plus Lou Dobbs, Kim Kardashian, and Jon Bovi on Weekend Update.  Enjoy!

328: "Let's Look Through My Ass" - Ed (1996)

This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched Ed from 1996 starring Matt LeBlanc and a guy in a monkey suit.  No SNL alum in this piece of shit but there's nothing in the rule book that says an SNL podcast can't watch a movie about a monkey playing baseball that doesn't have an SNL cast member in it.  Matt LeBlanc is actually the only Friends star who never hosted SNL and there was an episode of SNL where Jim Breuer played Matt LeBlanc holding a monkey, so there's your SNL connections.  A dude in a monkey suit, Jack Warden coin flips, monkey farts, Bill Cobbs, monkeys using the bathroom, Jesus Christ himself getting cut from the team, cartoon dollar signs in eyeballs, monkey dress-up montage, this movie has it all.  Enjoy!
