"Wasn't That Special' Season Fourteen Clips Package

As always, for those who have signed up for the podcast at the Executive Producer level, we send out notable video and newspaper clips that aided us in preparing for the episode. Below are some of the Saturday Night Live sketches and media clips we reference throughout the episode, to enhance the listening process.

So please help keep the podcast advertisement-free and upgrade to the Executive Producer level, which will keep these emails coming in the future!

(Although if you want to support us at a lower level and want to just hear the shows, you can do that, too!)

Here are some of the materials we discuss throughout the Season Fourteen episode:

Robot Repair

A Jack Handey sketch we both had among the best of the season. An ingenious mix of escalation and wordplay.

Johnny Canal

The perfect 10-to-1:00 sketch. Only John Malkovich could pull this off. Another Jack Handey.

First Citywide Change Bank, Part I

Originally written for Kevin Nealon, head writer Jim Downey took over the lead role when Nealon had trouble nailing the cadence. Downey has said his favorite type of comedy is people condescendingly explaining things that need no explanation.

Bush/Dukakis ‘88 Debate

Everything you could want in a debate sketch and the blueprint for every debate bit for the next 35 years.
