Ryan McGee and Mike Ryan discuss SNL and other parts of pop culture.
Ryan and Mike are back, this time talking about SNL’s 2025 Christmas episode. When the week started, it was all about the excitement of Ariana Grande returning to host. By the end, it was a bittersweet and unexpected goodbye to Bowen Yang.
For this one, we’re joined by a special guest: Bill Kuchman. Bill writes about pop culture (including SNL) over at his newsletter The Omnicosm. Be sure to check out his thoughts on this week’s episode and the larger pop-culture universe there!
As a reminder: You can still subscribe to our $5 tier on Patreon, where we will still be doing period non-SNL content for paid subscribers. We will be posting several episodes during the holiday break there first, and Ryan has also started writing some SNL pieces for Patreons as well.
