S2E21: SNL's first five years
Live from Chicago in Tim Grimes living room, Its Destroy All Sketch Comendians! With co-hosts Matthew Filipowicz and James Davis! Mark Piszczor is off on a puzzle sabbatical. So for this episode we decided that even though we have covered SNL before when we talked about their 50th anniversiary episode and they also have been certainly talked about a good amount on other episodes. But we've never thoroughly covered the original cast. Without them, sketch comedy wouldn't be the same. It had an underground edgy spirit but also mainstreamed sketch comedy in general so many other shows could follow. Alright then lets feed some fingertips to some wolverines and check it out.

S2E6: Catherine O'Hara Tribute
Hey there Everybody! Welcome back to Destroy All Sketch Comedians. The only podcast that actually cares about how YOU are doing? Really, how are you doing people? Its been a rough winter for sure. Hell, its been a rough ten years. And now recently, we lost one of the comedy greats, Catherine O'Hara. She was to all of us Gen X comedy nerds, the Quenn of sketch comedy after all of her brilliant work on the legendary SCTV. To the Millenials she was their lovely Mom after doing her roles in Home Alone and the Beetlejuice movies. She was a part of one of the best comedic duos we've ever had with all of her hilarious work with Eugene Levy. Whether it was all of the Christopher Guest movies they were in together or the hugely successful emmy winning Schitt's Creek. Her acting career was successful as ever even in her last year with Golden Globe winning roles in The Studio and the Last of Us. She will be truly missed and thats why this episode will be just about her life in comedy and why she means so much to me and my fellow co-hosts, Matthew Filipowicz, James Davis and Mark Piszczor. Come join us for all of the memories of this amazing funny lady.

S2E5: Kroll Show
Hey there you lovely podcast listeners! We're back with another episode of a piping hot cup of sketch comedy recapping java. OR whatever the hell that is? I'm trying to say its cold and dreary outside so curl up and warm up to another wonderful episode of Destroy All Sketch Comedians. The show that Podcast Monthly described as "Not Unlistenable". On today's show we cover the first episode of the first season of Comedy Central's Kroll Show. Nick Kroll's three season sketch comedy show he did a little over ten years ago. He does a great job of doing multiple characters that mostly are making fun of all the horrible people that are a part of Reality TV. I have with me my usual goofy ass co-hosts, James Davis, Mark Piszczor and Matthew Filipowicz. Also guest co-hosting once again the multitalented millenial, Bob Rok! Check it out, peeps!

Ha anyway, lets grab a hot toddy and curl up to a nice warm episode in the middle of this very cold winter.

S2EP3: Almost Friday TV
Happy New Year Destroy All Sketch Comedians groupies! We made it into another year! So we decided to start 2026 by covering our first internet only sketch comedy group, Almost Friday TV. This group seems to be initially for young bro culture but there is a dark absurd streak they have that I hope you appreciate as much as we do. This week we have with us our usual co-hosts, Matthew Filipowicz, and Mark Piszczor. Unfortunately our good buddy James Davis couldn't make it to this episode because he isn't feeling well after fighting off some rabid drunk elves he encountered last week after accidentaily drinking their magic lifeforce juice. Anywho, we do have with us this week special guest co-host the magical Randy Cochran! Listen now!
