About this listen

 Nick dives into the legacy of one of SNL’s most gloriously unhinged characters—Herb Welch, the crusty, confused, and wildly inappropriate newsman brought to life by Bill Hader. Inspired by a listener’s email, this episode revisits every appearance Herb ever made, complete with microphone assaults, accidental racism, and the kind of chaotic energy only Hader could channel live on air. Alongside the audio clips, Nick offers behind-the-scenes trivia, explores the origin of the character, and reflects on Hader’s brilliant tenure at Studio 8H. From smacking Jesse Eisenberg in the face to completely derailing scenes with Anne Hathaway and Emma Stone, Herb Welch was an old-school reporter who had no business still being on air—and that’s exactly what made him unforgettable. It’s a nostalgic, hilarious tribute to a character that represents everything unpredictable and perfect about live sketch comedy. [EP 132]
