Saturday Night Live Episodes

For 2024 Black History Month, QLS has some special programming. "This is the greatest episode ever," Questlove says during this two-part discussion with Hollywood revolutionary Robert Townsend. Part 1 includes his Chicago upbringing, gift for impersonations, and pursuit to become a working actor in New York. Robert touches on his ascent from minor roles in Cooley High and The Warriors to nearly becoming an SNL cast member. A focal point of Part 1 is Robert detailing how Townsend financed Hollywood Shuffle with a credit card and his word. This conversation with a true visionary is both funny and impactful.

Comedian Sam Jay joins QLS in New York City for an elevated discussion about Boston being the white Atlanta, getting onto Saturday Night Live, and her upcoming standup special. This one is a lighthearted hang between friends who love to laugh.
