Does SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night Actually Go Far Enough?

Not live, from Charlotte, it’s Omar Gallaga, to talk about Peacock’s new SNL doc series!

With Saturday Night Live about to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its series premiere, Peacock has assembled four documentary specials about how the show is made. Do any of them really advance our knowledge about this comedy institution? Omar Gallaga returns to talk about it. Around The Dial takes us through Severance, A.P. Bio, Playing For Peanuts, and Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. Omar pitches the Shōgun episode “Crimson Sky” for induction into The Canon. Then, after naming the week’s Winner and Loser, it’s on to a Game Time about who stayed standing from series premiere to finale. Finish that bowl of Colon Blow and join us!
