The Not Ready for Prime Time Podcast: The Early Years of SNL

S02E11 Ralph Nader/George Benson (January 15, 1977)

Two Pints Productions Season 2 Episode 11

This is a very special episode of The Not Ready for Prime Time Podcast. We have the pleasure of being joined by Doug Hill and Jeff Weingrad, the authors of Saturday Night: A Backstage History of Saturday Night Live. This book is a MUST READ for any fan of Saturday Night Live.  They talk through not only the episode with us, but also give some great behind-the-scenes stories of SNL and the of writing the book!
Ralph Nader is our host; George Benson the musical guest.  BUT the real news here are the "firsts:"  The first appearance of The Coneheads, Jim Downey's first show as a writer, the first time (most likely) Ralph Nader wore a rhinestone jacket.  Oh yeah, and first episode with Bill Murray in the cast.
Don't have Doug & Jeff's amazing book?  What are you waiting for?  Get your copy today!!.
