That Show – Walter Matthau Hosts
from That Show Hasn't Been Funny In Years: an SNL podcast on Radio Misfits
Nick revisits the only time legendary actor Walter Matthau hosted Saturday Night Live, offering behind-the-scenes stories from a wild week at 30 Rock. From writers’ room pitches and cast reactions to what actually made it to air, it’s a full breakdown of a strange, memorable night. Highlights include John Belushi’s Cold Open as Fred Silverman, Matthau’s pants-dropping monologue tease, and a Killer Bees sketch filled with masturbation jokes. With no musical guest, Garrett Morris stepped up with Mozart, and the Cheeseburger guys made an appearance—alongside some edgy material that still got big laughs. Plus, learn which iconic sketch was originally written for Matthau but went to someone else. [EP 125]
