Show Notes
Our old pal Jon Schneider is back once again to discuss one of the most integral episodes of the first season: it's Christmas episode. Not only is it the first time a host would return to the show but it manages to include a number of iconic moments while somehow also managing to seem incredibly loose and nearly incomplete at times. But that's just the magic of S1 SNL. Lots of weirdness abounds: live Polaroid commercials, Mel's Char Palace...done three times with almost no change, the fastest the show would ever get to a musical guest that wasn't pulling double duty, and, most importantly, Maggie Kuhn.
