The Not Ready for Prime Time Project: An SNL Retrospective

S03E04 Charles Grodin/Paul Simon & The Persuasions (October 29, 1977)

May 28, 2024 • Two Pints Productions • Season 3 • Episode 4

A classic, perhaps ALL-TIME, episode of Saturday Night Live with host Charles Grodin, who didn't know there would actually be an audience (or...that the show was live)!
Grodin brings his own unique humor and sensibilities to this episode that is also packed with some all-time classic sketches - many with recurring characters and the introduction of a couple of the most famous ones.
Don't worry SNL fans, Paul Simon returns (this time with The Persuasions) to the show as does The SNL in Review's Andy Hoglund to the podcast. There is A LOT to get into with one!
