## Episode Summary

Our good friend Nate Ruess was on SNL so we decided to watch the episode of SNL and recap it and review it just like AVclub.

## Notable Events

* Drew confirmed (with confidence) that the height of Nate Ruess is 5'8". Drew further revealed that he is himself also 5'8".
* Josiah and Drew watched the October 16, 2021 episode of *Saturday Night Live* (also known as *SNL*) featuring former Globe Hell Warning cast member Nate Ruess. It included the following videos:
	+ "Saturday Night Live Korea - SNL Opening theme 2016 (COMMON GROUND)커먼그라운드", which was the house band playing the *SNL* theme song, featuring Nate Ruess.
	+ At this point in the episode watchthrough, Josiah revealed that he had been hoping they'd be able to watch the sketches again and break them down but unfortunately NBC is capitalist. Nasty Big Capitalism is what it stands for.
* As an alternative to watching the sketches from the October 16, 2021 episode of *SNL*, Josiah and Drew instead did the next best thing, whereby they watched videos of people auditioning for *SNL*. These will be future cast members of *SNL*. They watched the following videos:
	+ "Shane Hartline 2021 SNL Audition Reel" about how this tape got him flown to NYC for an audition.
	+ "SNL Audition Tape. Saturday Night Live." about an SNL Audition Tape 2-19-15. Drew did an impression of the Heath Ledger Joker and Batman. Josiah did an impression of Sméagol. Drew did an impression of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
	+ "SNL Audition Mari Crawford".
	+ "SNL Audition Reel" about a cast of characters...Tony Hayward, Sam Elliot, Morrissey and more....
	+ "SNL AUDITION" about a mostly silent *SNL* audition tape.
	+ "SNL OPENING MONOLOGUE" about a mostly silent *SNL* opening monologue audition tape.
	+ "SNL Audition" about someone who was a writer and voice actor on SNL's Ambiguously Gay Duo and X Presidents cartoons.
	+ "Heidi Schooler SNL Character Reel" about an audition reel for Saturday Night Live. Josiah and Drew did impressions of someone who works at McDonald's. Drew did an impression of Lorne Michaels.
	+ "I Auditioned For Saturday Night Live!" about the only Australian who has been granted the opportunity to send a tape in.
	+ "SNL CLOSING THEME - (WALTZ IN A)". Josiah and Drew did a traditional *SNL* credits goodbye over the song in this video.

## Notable Quotes

### Josiah

* "Welcome to G-- uh S-N-Hell. S-N-Hell. I've heard of global warming, but SNL warm- Warning?"
* [On the topic of someone needing to lose 80 pounds to look like Pete Davidson] "Get that ch-- that heroin chic."
* "Karens love the musical *Jesus Christ Superstar*."
* "I mean, Kendall is kinda the least uh easy to characterize -- caricaturize of the Kardashians. So she's -- I think she's really nailing the subtlety. Although I can't really hear anything she's saying so that might be part of why it's working."
* "Have you ever seen *A Star Is Born* with Lady Gaga? Great film."
* "I think this guy hates women. (Drew: 'Yeah.') And I was talking about Drew. Cause he's not laughing at this female character."
* "This is fuckin' insane!"
* "I was wondering why they don't do any John Lithgow sketches these days."
* "Could you imagine if they had the first -- cause they're all about diversity now, and yet they've refused to hire an Australian guy. I think an Australian man on *SNL* would really ramp up the diversity, but they don't mean it when they say they want diversity, at all. An Australian man is kinda the most rare, diverse cast member you could get."
* [Doing a Conor McGregor impression] "You're nothin' but a bitch."
* "The choreography is just amazing!"

### Drew

* "I'm afraid to say a lot of the stuff Woody Allen's band plays I like, unfortunately."
* "Well, Yabba Dabba Doo."
* "We're trying to dismantle the capitalist project over here uh on Globe Hell, and we're um not only pointing out the problems, like that uh, uh the president is old, but we're also offering solutions, like having a golden boy."
* "I liked the sketches where Nate was in a diaper um being swaddled like a little baby."
* "Well, Lorne's uh -- an older guy, he doesn't know cutting edge humor, he's doesn't know uh, you know, diaper -- he's not into the crinkle scene."
* "Oh come on, man! Come on! [unintelligible] can't show me this! You can't show me this!"
* "Ready or not, it's *Saturday Night Live*! That's what they say, right?"
* "What the *fuck* is happening?"
* "Fuck's sake, man."
* "This is bizarre."
* "This is terrifying."
* "See, this is where, if I was doing this comedy bit, I would be solving a problem. I'd be tackling global warming."
* "Well, you're gonna have to drink, Josiah. You're gonna have to suck it up and have a drink. Nope! All right, you're gonna have to do a line."
* "Yeah, this sucks."
* "All right, can we, uh -- can we skip? Can we skip?"
* "I'm not sure you're allowed to do this."
* "She's just talking about -- she's talking about the dogs going pee."
