The Not Ready for Prime Time Project: An SNL Retrospective
The Early Years of SNL: S04E10 Michael Palin/The Doobie Brothers (1/27/79)
Michael Palin is BACK hosting SNL for his second time as he helps welcome the show into 1979. And If that wasn’t enough to get you excited, The Doobie Brothers are the musical guests!
Palin has a lot to live up to after his first appearance and yet the show leans very heavily on recurring sketches and characters. The episode is full of ups and downs - as some things really hit and some sadly miss the mark - but overall is a good time.
We are joined by Pop Culture Five’s Deremy Dove to talk about all the sketches, our unanimous love of The Doobie Brothers, and immense fandom of…What’s Happening?!
Yes, you read that last part correctly.
