Darrell Hammond Reflects On His SNL Days + Andy Cowan Talks Writing for Seinfeld + Hunter Biden GOES OFF!

Actor and comedian Darrell Hammond joins Adam in studio to talk about his legendary run on Saturday Night Live and what it was like taking over for the iconic Don Pardo as the show's announcer. He reflects on the surreal experience of watching old sketches of himself, including a memorable one where he portrayed Bill Clinton on the phone with Saddam Hussein and Monica Lewinsky. He opens up about the challenges he faced during his time on SNL, and a harrowing story about getting arrested in the Bahamas and being left behind by a cruise ship.

In the news, Mayhem and Adam react to Hunter Biden’s explosive new interview where he claims President Biden took Ambien before the 2024 debate and defends his controversial painting sales. They also weigh in on Donald Trump’s demand for the Washington Commanders to revert to their former team name, as well as Bill Cosby’s shocking comments comparing Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s death to the murder of his own son.

Writer and comedy veteran Andy Cowan stops by to share stories from his time writing for Seinfeld and pitching ideas to Larry David. Adam reflects on how doing the opposite of his mother’s advice led him to success, and he asks Andy whether Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David were playing exaggerated versions of themselves or just being authentic. Andy brings in a clip from The Merv Griffin Show, where he performed a spot-on Frank Sinatra impression, prompting a nostalgic discussion about Merv’s legendary career. Adam closes the show by ranting about why it is so important to use a coaster on the podcast table.

Get it on.
