This week we bring on very special guest Jason from our brother podcast The Bearded Ones to talk about the long-standing classic, Saturday Night Live. We cover cast changes, ads and shorts, what worked, what bombed, our favorite and least favorite things about it, and basically everything that has given this American standard its pride of place in pop culture.

The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 14: Stand-up and Improv
Wednesday Sep 23, 2015
Wednesday Sep 23, 2015
This week we get serious about comedy.
Carissa is an unabashed stand-up comedy nerd, despite (as she claims) not being funny herself. Both our hosts have a history in improv, though Evan is the only one still actively involved in an improv troupe. Together, we possess both a wealth of information and an overabundance of admiration for stand up comedy. In what turned out to be our longest episode yet, we go from court jesters to Lewis Black, Gallagher to Dane Cook, Bob Hope to Chad Daniels, Monty Python to Brian Regan, and much - SO MUCH - more.
If Carissa's nearly 10-day comedy playlist is anything to go by, there is bound to be something you don't know about stand-up or someone you haven't heard of yet. Listen in to find out who/what that is, and get serious about the funny.
If you think you know a comedian Carissa hasn't heard, or if you need a suggestion for a new comedian to listen to, please email us at luckytenthousand@gmail.com or hit us up on Twitter @Lucky_10k.
