Show Notes
Chris Parnell has a voice made of liquid gold and comedy timing you can set your watch to... which has earned him legendary status at two comedy institutions - The Groundlings and 'Saturday Night Live' - both celebrating their 50th anniversary this year.
Known as "The Iceman" during his eight seasons on SNL (because he never broke character, not even during the classic Christopher Walken “More Cowbell” sketch), Chris reminisces about his comedy career with Dan-- the amazing early Groundlings moments, the wild world of SNL afterparties, working with fellow greats Will Ferrell, Tim Meadows, and he reveals a few regrets from his time on comedy's biggest stage. Chris also opens up to Dan about how his religious upbringing shaped him, his family legacy of speaking in front of a microphone, and the weight of wrestling for years with the idea of contacting his biological parents for the first time.
SNL's three-hour live 50th anniversary primetime special airs Sunday, February 16th, on NBC.
