On this week's episode of the SNL Hall of Fame podcast, Jamie is joined by Matthew Ardill to add Michael O' Donoghue to the ballot. Mr. Mike brought an acerbic wit to the show that was sometimes considered Dangerous but he was crucial to getting the show established as it's first ever head writer outside of Lorne Michales. Does he bring enough to the table to be a Hall of Famer though? We'll have to wait and see.If you've got questions about the show or would like to be a guest on an episode in the future please reach out - [email protected] can follow and support the show through discussion and sharing in all the usual places.
