362: "Speaking Of Will Sasso...Plus VIEWER MAIL" - B.A.P.S (1997)

This week on Saturday Night Jive we finally watched B.A.P.S from 1997 starring one-time SNL host Halle Berry, Martin Landau, one-time SNL host Bernie Mac, and of course everyone's favorite white rapper/stand-up comic Barry Sobel.  At long last, Ben's dream came true and we watched this random 90's comedy.  Surprisingly it's not as cringy as one might expect, doesn't mean it's good, just not an abysmal and racist crap-fest.  We also open up our e-mail for the first time in almost 2 years and respond to some listener suggestions.  Enjoy!

361: "Poo Poo, Farts And Vomit" - SNL S20E12 - Bob Newhart / Des'ree

We lost a legend recently and this week on Saturday Night Jive we watched the Bob Newhart episode of SNL from the disastrous Season 20.  In the height of SNL's "bad boy" era, they brought on the television icon to class up the joint a little bit.  What results is an all-around solid and fun show, while maybe not the downright classic that George remembered from his youth.  We get a cold open about the Colin Ferguson trial, a Bob Newhart monologue, Jay Mohr dressed as Ricki Lake, Chris Farley promoting his book of world records, Norm MacDonald anchoring Weekend Update, a very bad Baywatch parody, Bob giving an interview to a disgruntled postal employee, Farley and Chris Elliott playing "Hi, Bob", a manic depressive sports announcer, and the pleasant voice of Des'ree.  R.I.P. Bob, you were one of the greats.  Enjoy!

360: "Milking The Gorkon" - The Land Of Gorch - An SNL Recurring Character Study

And we're back with yet another installment of our award winning segment ...And We're Back! where we take a deep dive into an SNL recurring character and watch all their appearances.  This week we watched one of the earliest SNL recurring characters, that's right, Ben gets introduced to King Ploobis, Scred, Puuta, Vosh and the rest of The Land Of Gorch an early segment on the show featuring Jim Henson's Muppets.  Back in 1975, a counter culture variety show decided to include a live puppet segment and the result was something nobody wanted.  The writers hated it, the audience was befuddled, and you can quickly see the resentment held by all involved.  We watched almost every appearance, as we've previously established we can tap out whenever we want but this time we skipped some from the middle so we could watch their sad, dour, but in some ways beautiful ending.  Enjoy!
