He’s the Master Thespian… and now, a Hall of Famer.

🏆 Season 7 Finale – Live Stream Special

📍 Hosted by jD and Bill Kenney

🎤 Featuring Shari Fesko & Jon Schneider

🕯️ Status: Hall Condemned

“The plaques are cracked. The lazy boy’s in ashes. And the mat—well, there were two—has been swept away. But for one last time, we gathered to honour greatness.”

This week, we turned out the lights on the SNL Hall of Fame… for good. But before we did, we hosted one final live stream—part celebration, part eulogy, part group therapy session.

Join jD and Chief Conversationalist Bill Kenney as they parse the results of Season 7’s final ballot—with special guests Jon Schneider (Saturday Night Network) and Shari Fesko (Water Cooler All-Star) stopping by to stir the pot and help close the books.

We reveal the final three inductees into the Hall, dissect the heartbreaks, and reflect on the podcast’s run: its stories, its stats, its sacred weirdness. There’s real emotion, some laughs, and just enough rubble to trip over one last time.

We dive into the near-misses and heartbreaking omissions:

• Vanessa Bayer? 8 points shy.
• John Mulaney? Still waiting, somehow.
• Rosie Schuster? Overflow seating, underappreciated.
• Chevy Chase? A foundational figure, despite the… everything.

Plus: writer woes, Dave Grohl snubs, and the peculiar paradox of an unlimited ballot yielding fewer inductees than ever.

• Does the “small Hall” mindset make sense?
• Should all original cast and writers be automatic ins?
• Is Fred Armisen the most underappreciated modern-era cast member?

In the end, this isn’t just about a podcast. It’s about a community. About preserving SNL’s legacy through stories, laughter, arguments, and some very nerdy stats.

While the Hall may be closed, its legacy lives on:

As the final bulbs flicker and the once-proud plaques gather dust, one thing remains clear: this project was powered by passion, fueled by fandom, and built on the backs of cast members, hosts, writers, and fans who believed in the magic of Saturday Night Live.

So one last time…

The SNL Hall of Fame is now closed.
