Welcome back to The SNL Hall of Fame podcast! This week, our seventh and final season truly kicks off with an electrifying nomination episode. Our curator, jD, is joined by our resident minutiae expert Matt Ardill and chief conversationalist Bill Kenney. Together, they dive headfirst into the legacy of one of the original Saturday Night Live cast members who shaped the show’s future: Chevy Chase.

Along with special guest Brad Robinson, we revisit the early days of SNL, exploring how Chevy’s groundbreaking Gerald Ford impression and his iconic Weekend Update desk transformed political satire on television. We also look back on legendary moments, like the unforgettable Landshark sketch, which cemented Chevy’s place as a master of recurring characters. From his instant rise to stardom to his lasting influence on the show’s DNA, this episode is a must-listen for any fan of the Not Ready for Primetime Players.
