07 Jul 2021 | Season 46 Postseason Extravaganza! | 01:39:24 | |
SNL's 46th season was anything but ordinary. Kicking off "in-studio" during the height of the pandemic--to make hay during the election--the show turned in a record-breaking 6-episode run, followed by a marked post-inaugural shift in tone. The production was hamstrung in some ways but also liberated by strict safety protocols, and in the end, delivered 20 episodes that run the gamut from Maya Rudolph to Elon-F*ing-Musk! Join us as we look back at season 46, speculate on cast changes, offer our featured player scorecards, and answer our listeners' burning questions.
